Much of Bachelor Nation had been calling for the franchise to shift away from men and women in their 20s, because of how immature and totally not ready for marriage most of them have seemed in the past several seasons, so there was great hope Clare’s time would remedy some of that.
Well, provided the season still films this year, Clare will be 39-years-old and the most senior of the Bachelorettes who’ve ever led the show.
In case you’re still in the dark on Clare’s (still upcoming, I hope) time as The Bachelorette, you might be wondering what the big deal is about most of her guys being so young.
