6 Reasons Tom Hiddleston Should Be 'The Bachelor'

by Chelsea Mize

The Bachelor franchise is an unstoppable entity. You cannot fight it. You may choose to ignore it, but it cannot be vanquished. Since it's clear that The Bachelor is an inhuman force that will outlast even the most resilient of beings, it's better to just accept and embrace it (and think about ways it could be improved). Which brings me to my very important question. Why has there not been a celebrity Bachelor yet? Just think of the ratings. I have the perfect first candidate, too. Tom Hiddleston would be the perfect celebrity Bachelor, amirite?

I'm honestly shocked that they haven't done a Celebrity season of The Bachelor yet. It seems like the perfect way to turn the franchise into an even bigger cash cow (and attract an even more... eccentric... lineup of contestants). Just think of how many times people would question if a contestant was there "for the right reasons" if the Bachelor/Bachelorette were famous! That has all the makings of a deadly drinking game right there. Get your wine glasses ready, ladies.

I seriously think I'm onto something here. If you don't believe me, here are 6 reasons (out of millions) why Tom Hiddleston would be the perfect Bachelor.

He's Hot

Step #1 of being The Bachelor. Be hot. Really hot. Tom's got that one in the bag.

Big Fanbase

Some of the most hilarious and entertaining Bachelor contestants are the ones who come in, guns blazing, and are like "OH MY GOD I'M SO GLAD IT'S YOU I'VE LOVED YOU SINCE BEFORE I WAS BORN." When it comes to diehard fans, Tom Hiddleston is the king (or at least, the crown prince behind One Direction). Just think of the fanatical contestants who would (probably literally) kill for the chance at winning Tom Hiddleston's heart.

Epic Cross-Promotion

We all know Marvel will do just about anything they can to earn a few extra bucks. We also know that ABC looooves to cross-promote through The Bachelor and The Bachelorette.I cannot imagine a more perfectly suited match than Marvel-sponsored action dates on The Bachelor.

Hilarious Limo Entrances

Someone would surely dress up like Loki or Thor. There would undoubtedly be countless Avengers jokes. Cringing would ensue worldwide.

ABC Loves Puns

How many farm puns did ABC make about Chris Soules during his stint on The Bachelor? ABC loves puns and metaphors and I can only imagine the superhero jokes that would abound if Hiddles did a season.

Think of the Ratings!

Though The Bachelor already does pretty well in this department, ratings would absolutely go through the roof with Tom Hiddleston's fanbase backing a new season.
