Meanwhile, the upcoming season of "The Bachelor" already received some criticisms before it begins when ABC announced that they have chosen Luyendyk to lead the show. But one of the former contestants of the long-running dating reality show Alexis Waters defended Luyendyk's casting in an interview with HollywoodLife.
According to Waters, Luyendyk is a perfect choice for the next season of "The Bachelor."
"I feel like the 'Bachelor' franchise needed a new, fresh face, because I didn't watch the season he was on," Waters stated. "People needed a new, fresh face. I feel like the 'Bachelor' franchise had a rough year this year, so I feel like Arie's going to start great with a new year!"
ABC will air the premiere episode of "The Bachelor" season 22 on Monday, Jan. 1, at 8 p.m. EDT.
