After a controversial interview, Chris Harrison is stepping aside for an undetermined amount of time.
We've picked 10 people from Bachelor Nation who could host the show instead.
Wells Adams or Rachel Lindsay seem like likely choices.
For the first time since "The Bachelor" began airing in 2002, Chris Harrison will be absent from the "After the Final Rose" special, due to his controversial "Extra" interview with Rachel Lindsay, in which he defended current contestant Rachael Kirkconnell, and cautioned against "the woke police."
While Harrison's statement did not indicate he is permanently leaving the franchise, there is no word on when he'll be back. So while Harrison and ABC decide what his future is with "The Bachelor," we've picked 10 people from Bachelor Nation who we think would do a good job hosting in his place.
