The surprise announcement that Matt James will be ABC's next Bachelor (open in new tab), the first black male lead on a show that has had 40 franchise seasons in nearly 20 years and only one black lead in the past (Rachel Lindsay), has surprised fans and joy. This is because Matt James is a newcomer to the show, and usually the Bachelor has appeared in previous seasons (and is usually a fan favorite). Many fans and cast members who know James as a member of Tyler Cameron and Hannah Brown's (open in new tab) "Quarantine Crew" are excited about this news. Here are people's reactions (spoiler: Tyler Cameron is excited).
