Rachel is interviewing Mike on her podcast today. They apparently told him just before he walked on stage for the BiP reunion that he would not be the Bachelor and he did not want to be there for the recording. ETA: He was 100% in contention to be the Bachelor. He has hung out with Demi more than once. I could tell he didn't want to be there...they barely showed him especially when Peter came out. 100% in contention? Didn't he say previously they never spoke to him about it? He said that he downplayed it in the press to show respect for the selection process and didn’t want to risk spoiling anything.

Honorable man, but then again he was in the army so he would be respectful. The bachelor producers cant see the flies from the trees. What is new

From the article I read he was in contention and they were hoping for a "breakout" moment on BIP but he remained drama free so they went with pilot kid Just goes to show black people can never do right. I bet he thought that if he brought the drama, that would ruin his chances so he made to calculation to look diplomatic and above the fray instead.

Why did Mike have to prove himself...all Peter did was f#ck in a windmill. Mike was the clear fan favourite and almost everyone wanted him. We had to sit through ARIE and COLTON and now we're getting windmill boy, ugh.

The franchise is still perpetuating the racial divide where a black person has to be on a pedestal to get the same chance as an average white person. America you have a long way to go.

I swear I have PTSD...I think I'm over it and then all of a sudden I'm triggered again smh. Peter's break out moment was what? Having sex in a windmill? Gimme a break...that wasn't a Peter moment...that was a Hannah moment. Anyone could've been the man having sex in a windmill smh. If they wanted Mike they would've chosen him. Simple. All of these excuses are just obnoxious now and need to end. moviechicka thanks for that tidbit. Mike's a good man.

So many excuses have been made in recent years as to why other MOC weren't chosen and I sort of went yeah IDK about this or that reason, seems sketchy but maybe it's castings fault and they know better than me. Maybe it's the audience and they're afraid to lose ratings. Frankly we are dealing with a bunch of assholes. Men who think they can assault their pregnant wife and force her to abort. realitytvfan11 brought up a great point a while back that these types aren't ready to see a MOC date multiple women and choose a wife because it lessens them and I think she hit the nail on the head. No one is going to tell me TPTB would pick a skinny, 28 Year old, baby faced, commercial pilot, with a nice smile who happens to be a black over a 31 year old, muscular, 6'4" veteran who lost a child and has a dazzling smile who happens to be white. Is f**king in a windmill, garden shed or plane where it's at and does that make you more ready?! I'm tired and don't know why I bother only for chatting to you ladies. It's not Pete's fault because of course he will take the opportunity. I'm just going to bring the humor best I can and try not to let my inner Ricky Gervais take over, Ha!

Unpopular opinion but I'm glad Mike wasn't chosen as Bachelor.
Selfishly, as a biracial woman, I have zero interest in seeing Mike choose white woman (which he would have), over a dynamic gorgeous woman of color (any color).
No offense to any white woman on this board.
