Will Rick Perry Appear on the Next Season of 'The Bachelor?' Chris Soules Wants the Show to Be As Republican As Possible

By

Can you mix love and politics? Yeah, probably.

Can you mix politics and "The Bachelor?" Yeah, definitely not.

But that's what might be happening on "The Bachelor" this season. Classicalite has the scoop- apparently, over the summer, Chris Soules (the next season's "Bachelor") met Texas governor and former presidential candidate Rick Perry at a fair, and that Perry may even show up on the next season of "The Bachelor."

And according to Classicalite, there will definitely be some kind of politicking next season on "The Bachelor"- they claim that Soules is "hell bound and determined to interject his political views as aggressively as the producers will allow."

And that does not sound particularly entertaining- whether you're liberal, conservative, or smack in the middle.

WetPaint spoke with former "Bachelor" contestant Leslie Murphy, who said more or less the same thing:

"It's usually very unbiased - it's not left wing or right wing," she said. "When they throw Texas Governor Rick Perry in there, though, that's pretty much swinging hard right."

Later, Murphy added the following: "It's hard to mix reality show and politics and come out successful." Which would make a lot of sense- why alienate half the country, politically, when you could keep things neutral and have both Republican and Democrat cheer Soules on?

As well, Soules may have already started filming his season of "The Bachelor"- Enstars reports that he's already in New Mexico, surrounded by women (which is usually the norm for any season of "The Bachelor"). Apparently, Soules was spotted at the Albequerque International Balloon Fiesta- which sounds like the perfect spot to take twelve women on a simultaneous first date.

We'll find out soon enough if this season of "The Bachelorette" starts off in New Mexico.
