ABC
ABC shocked Bachelor Nation this morning when the broadcast network unveiled Arie Luyendyk Jr. as its next “Bachelor” star. So, you know, not Peter Kraus, the “Bachelorette” alum that everybody expected and seemingly wanted.
That choice has the Twitterverse generally confused and disappointed. Mix in a little outrage, and you’ve got this morning’s top trending topic on the social media platform.
See some choice reactions — and great memes — below.

If you think we're all disappointed, imagine the people who signed up to be a contestant thinking it'd be Peter, Wells or Eric! #thebachelor

But, hey, at least one Twitter user likes the choice! And she just-so happens to be a former “Bachelor” contestant herself.
Here’s what Season 15’s Ashley Spivey posted this morning:
If you are not excited about @ariejr as #thebachelor, I encourage you to watch @EmilyMaynard's season and get back to me. #kissingbandit
