Chris Harrison is making his return to reality TV - and it's already causing controversy! On Wednesday, the former host of The Bachelor franchise announced casting for a new dating series. The announcement sought applications looking for a "traditional marriage," detailing: "A prominent streaming service is casting single men and women (21+) who want a traditional, marriage-minded partnership built on commitment and shared values. We're looking for singles who believe in clear roles, long-term commitment and building a life together - and who are dating with real intention."

Taking to the comment section, users wrote: "Traditional how? Location, era, or vibe? Is this a '1950s traditional' or a 'mutual respect and partnership' traditional?" "'Clear roles' - what the heck does that mean? I want a partnership with someone who carries mine when I need it, and leans on me when he needs it. We work together to make our life amazing" "I'm sorry this is giving MAGA" "This is weird" "The fantasy suite: the bachelorettes give up their voting rights, credit cards, and dignity" "Traditional marriage? Clear roles? It's giving Handmaids Tale. We can be excited about marriages and engagements without encouraging the idea of women and men having predetermined roles they have to play. You could have gone on literally any other direction." "Traditional marriage sounds loaded" "Traditional marriage????? Why are we reverting back to 1920?" "Is this that Project 2025 marriage camp?" "I like that your back but I don't know. The 'traditional marriage' rubs me the wrong way. Why can't it just say marriage?" "This is really icky" And the comments go on and on...

Husband and wife loving each other, staying true to each other, having children, enjoying life together. Oh no, so terrible. We can't have that" "I stopped watching The Bachelor when you left. Can't wait to watch this!" "We've missed you!" Hmm... Is it so much the concept of traditional marriage that's giving people the ick or is it more so the exclusion of LGBTQ marriages? Seems like it's the latter. Like, why not have it be open to all?? Chris isn't new to scandal, though. He once faced backlash for the way he handled Rachael Kirkconnell's racism scandal in 2021, forcing him to temporarily step back from his hosting duties until he was permanently replaced.
