How ‘The Bachelorette’ Picked the Men for Rachel’s Historic Season – The 32-year-old’s barrier-breaking journey to find love premieres Monday, after years of controversy surrounding the long-running dating franchise. ABC executives came under fire in recent years over the series’ lack of diversity, as the starring roles almost exclusively went to white leads on both The Bachelor and The Bachelorette.
