Maria Georgas Opens Up About Declining Role as The Bachelorette

Maria Georgas, a former contestant on “The Bachelor,” recently revealed on a podcast why she walked away from the opportunity to be the next Bachelorette. Despite being offered the role and even doing fittings, Georgas ultimately declined the offer, citing feeling overwhelmed and not ready to hand out roses while her friend Jenn Tran was also vying for the role.

Georgas explained that she wasn’t in the right headspace for the extensive process of being on the show again and didn’t want to waste anyone’s time. She felt that Tran was the perfect choice for the role and decided to step back to be with her family and friends.

While Georgas wasn’t the only one considered for the role, with Daisy Kent also turning down the opportunity, Tran is excited to make history as the first Asian American Bachelorette and begin her journey to find love.

The decision to decline the role was a difficult one for Georgas, but she knew it was the right choice for her at this time. Despite the initial excitement surrounding her potential as the next Bachelorette, Georgas prioritized her mental well-being and chose to step away from the spotlight.
