‘The Bachelor’ spotlight: Will Brittany Fetkin wrestle away Chris Soules’ heart?
Sometimes, there are castings for “The Bachelor” that confuse us slightly, and Brittany Fetkin is one of them. She’s one of those that is easy to be somewhat cynical about, because she comes from a high-profile job and you can easily question whether or not she is there for fame.
With that being said, there is one question that we’ll wonder for a while. She already has over 40,000 followers on Twitter under her wrestling name Devin Taylor, and seems to be up-and-coming there. Maybe she actually is here for love? We cannot really otherwise see how an emotionally vulnerable show will help her as a wrestler. Don’t worry; this article and all other “Bachelor” spotlight are spoiler-free!
Age – 26
Hometown – Orlando, Florida. Nothing that stands out too much about this here, since her job is not really tied to this.
Occupation – WWE diva-in-training. This means that she is probably going to have a good career set up for her for a while. These wrestlers get paid pretty well if they get famous enough, but at the same time, it’s also a really taxing, time-intensive career. With all of the travel and the wear and tear, it may be harder to find a supportive boyfriend / fiancee.
Bio highlights – She lists some pretty funny embarrassing moments listed on her ABC bio page, including her losing her shorts in her first wrestling match. Therefore, we can at least say that she is good at making fun of herself.
Positives – She is probably going to be pretty outgoing, charismatic, and capable of making a strong first impression. Also, she may be a good storyteller. Wrestlers often are pretty normal outside of the ring, and it’s not like this is her only interest in the world, either.
Negatives – Here is the problem: Preconceived notions. Everyone is going to assume almost automatically that she has an ulterior motive for being there, and given that there 30 women at the start of the season, Chris may eliminate early on first impressions and things that he views are not compatible.
Prediction – This is why we feel like ultimately, we’re not going to see Brittany on the show very long. Maybe she ends up being a great match for Chris, but we’re not sure she will even get much of a chance. Other contestants may be threatened by her, and it’s a shame since we feel like this could be pretty good entertainment.
