‘The Bachelorette’ rankings: Carly Waddell, Becca Tilley, Kaitlyn Bristowe contenders

Tonight, “The Bachelor” will be narrowing the field down to the final four contenders, and today, we also thought we would take a moment to look at who could be the next genuine contenders to be “The Bachelorette.” We know that producers are already looking to figure out who could be right for the role, and there are a few potential contenders out there.

Below, we have our current rankings for you of the members of this season. Let’s be clear here, though, that there are probably one or two external candidates, including Sarah Herron of “Bachelor in Paradise” depending on her relationship status. One person we’ll rule out? Andi Dorfman. We don’t think the show is going to go back there right now.

7. Megan Bell – At the moment, we vaguely remember that she is even still a part of the show. Maybe she can go and film a season in New Mexico.

6. Jade Roper – ABC likes to cast someone relatable to Middle America. despite Jade’s personality, her past probably rules her out here almost completely.

5. Britt Nilsson – Going into the second or third episode, we would have put her near the top of the list. However, we’re not so sure now after the whole shower-gate coupled with a potential meltdown that transpires during tonight’s new episode over being in Iowa.

4. Whitney Bischoff – She has a polarizing voice, but seems to be very nice. The concern with her is that she may be the frontrunner to win this season (especially if Britt’s meltdown is as bad as it seems), and therefore wouldn’t be altogether interested.

3. Kaitlyn Bristowe – She’d certainly be a very different sort of Bachelorette! She’s a little crude, likes to have fun, and also has no problem speaking her mind. The question is whether or not she has the real narrative to star on her own season.

2. Carly Waddell – The series darkhorse contender right now. Maybe she doesn’t have enough of an overall edit this season for it, but the internet seems to love her, she comes across as very kind, and her story of finding confidence is something many viewers can relate to.

1. Becca Tilley – While Chris may pick her, she has a narrative of being a virgin that could potentially play well in more conservative households. She may not be the biggest personality, but neither were Ashley or Desiree, and they actually have turned their time on the show into weddings. Isn’t that the real point here?
