'The Bachelorette' 2022: Fans excited to see Grandpa John, ask for him to be the host of senior 'Bachelor'

"King Grandpa John has arrived #TheBachelorette" tweeted an excited fan

If you anticipated that having two leads on 'The Bachelorette' would be cause for chaos, then you were certainly right, seeing that between cancelled cocktail parties and season villains, a lot is currently going down. It's safe to say that for Gabby and Rachel, their journey so far has already had its fair share of hurdles. 

The women are plenty clear that they are looking for their future husbands, seeing that Rachel was quick to send Jordan V home, when she realised they didn't have the chemistry she wanted, even though they were a good match. And while Gabby has had better luck on her one on ones, a surprise guest was all set to make it even better!
