Petition to Let The Bachelor/ette Pick as Many Damn Partners as They Want
Fans are apparently upset that the next "Bachelorette" has a history of soft swinging.

For Some Reason Fans Of 'The Bachelorette' Are Upset That A Recovering Soft Swinger Was Chosen For New Season
I've somehow managed to avoid watching a single episode of The Bachelorette over its run of 21 seasons. That impressive streak, credit to me, could be coming to an end with Season 22.
