Well, Nick Viall just gave Bachelor Nation yet one more reason to go berserk by having Susie Evans on Reality Recap. In its release this week, the episode has sent waves of reaction across social media, with viewers showering Evans with applause and calling for her to be crowned the next Bachelorette.

The episode was seemingly going through some depths of Evans’ Bachelor franchise journey as represented by her stint on the Clayton Echard season and Bachelor in Paradise. The entire context of their present conversation remains cloaked in mystery until one actually tunes in for it, yet the minute trailer from Viall has already spurred so much speculative talk worth praising Evans.
Another enthusiastic supporter of Evans says she would make a fine next Bachelorette being beautiful, articulate, funny, confident, and intelligent—all traits she believes would bring the same energy that JoJo Fletcher—the long-time fan favorite—would have brought to the franchise. To not cast her would be wrong in a major way. Many others agreed with this sentiment, including one who says she is one of the most beautiful ladies that have ever emerged from the franchise.
Of course, not everything was positive. The negative camp even questioned the show’s relevance, with one user outright questioning why guests keep turning up on Viall’s show. That same user dismissed all the hype around Evans as she was boring on Clayton’s season and only interesting as a voiceover on TikTok clips. A staunch defender quickly labeled the remark false, saying Evans did not get enough screen time to show off her personality on the show because most of the attention was focused on Rachel Recchia and Gabby Windey.
Another disrupted voice avers that this is the reason why Budderhead Botched the Evans appearances, with one stating somewhat angrily that she should have been brought in to Bachelor in Paradise from the very start because it would have been a disservice to her to do otherwise. Another said it was probably to create drama because they felt the season might have been worth a bit of dull otherwise.
More sparks were flying as some pondered her icy demeanor toward Justin Glaze, with one commenting on her briskness towards him while another applauded the genuine camaraderie, glad their paradise was not tainted by drama.
One thing continues to ring true amidst all the discussions: Susie Evans is a very divisive yet adored figure in Bachelor Nation. Whatever else is left to be figured out is if she gets a shot at love again as the Bachelorette or if she finds herself headed back to Paradise, the Viall show appearance has breathed new life into the discourse and the lust to have her back on screens.

With casting decisions still proving a hardship for the franchise, an almost unanimous backing of Evans signals that the fans crave to see her finally in a spotlight. Whether producers will be interested in hearing is an entirely different matter; for now, it’s simply great buzz.
