Following last night’s bamboozling Bachelorette finale, the internet was absolutely ropeable. Still, amid the wailing, teeth-gnashing masses asking why Georgia Love chose Lee Elliott over Matty Johnson, some punters looked at the bigger picture: ol’ mate Matty J is basically a shoe-in to helm an upcoming season of The Bachelor.
Welp, in tonight’s debrief on The Project, he didn’t exactly downplay that thought process. By that, we mean he treated the entire section as an interview for the plum gig left vacant by one Richie Strahan.
“I think the show’s got a huge amount of credibility. I mean, you look at people like Tim Robards, Sam Frost and Sam Woods,” Johnson said, “and I think you look at that and you think there’s such a genuine chance to meet someone incredible and create a long-lasting relationship.”
“It’s like everyone fell in love with me except for Georgia!” We chat to #BacheloretteAU‘s Matty! ?? #TheProjectTV https://t.co/O33SswyUIb
