Get ready for the most chaste Fantasy Suite ever, Bachelorette viewers!
Yes, if Duggar fans have their way, two of the most dissimilar reality franchises on TV might soon collide, and the result is sure to be even more awkward than every other season of The Bachelorette.
According to In Touch Weekly, Duggar fans on Reddit are campaigning to have Jana star in her own season of one of television’s most popular dating shows.
Apparently, they’re willing to ignore the small fact that she has no interest in dating.
“Maybe Jana should be the next Bachelorette!!” one fan commented.
“I’ve never watched that show, but I’d totally watch it for Jan,” wrote another.
Wow.
Well, for starters, we’re all for referring to Jana as “Jan,” mostly so we can hit her with the sarcastic Marcia Brady response when she pretends that she’s perfectly happy doing all the work around the Duggar homestead.
More importantly, we totally believe that commenter when she says she’s never seen an episode of The Bachelorette.
A Jana season is an amusing concept, but in practice, it would be the most boring thing to happen to television since the World Cup.
Even casual fans know about the famous Duggar courtship rules, that would prevent Jana from even kissing any of the candidates, much less spending the night with them.
(We’re not sure how Jim Bob and Michelle about handing out roses as a symbolic gesture, but we’re sure they consider it sinful.)
Fortunately, many commenters realized what a horrendous idea this would be:
“I don’t think a season of side hugs would bring in the ratings,” remarked one.
“Uh, not going to happen. Does she even date at all?” wrote another.
The answer to that question, of course, is “no” — or at least, “not publicly.”
Jana courtship rumors seem so surface about once per month, but thus far nothing has come of any of them.
The latest reports have Jana dating Laura DeMasie, her longtime BFF and partner in homeschooling the many offspring of Michelle and Jim Bob.
Is there anything to those rumors?
Frankly, we have no idea, and we probably never will.
Sadly, Jana’s parents would probably giver her permission to go on The Bachelorette before they would allow her to come out as gay.
