ABC may have selected Colton Underwood because he resembles past Bachelors

Refinery29

Colton is a bit like Nick Viall, Ben Higgins and the original "virgin" Bachelor, Sean Lowe. "The Bachelor, essentially, keeps trying to get the formula right, much like Underwood with his failed relationships," says Rebecca Farley. "The trick is to find an imminently appealing Bachelor who also very much wants to find love. A party-in-the-front, business-in-the-back kind of man. Also known as Sean Lowe, the franchise's white whale. (In this franchise, it should be said, all the whales are white.)" ALSO: Jimmy Kimmel teaches Colton the birds and the bees.
