Hannah Brown is excited to watch Joey Graziadei choose his final rose, but she's even more curious about who ABC will select as the next Bachelorette. In a recent interview to promote her partnership with McAlister's Deli, the season 15 Bachelorette shared that she has been talking to the producers. She mentioned that many people are interested in Daisy Kent and Maria Georgas as potential picks, both of whom offer unique qualities. Hannah expressed her support for Maria, noting that she would bring a fresh and entertaining dynamic to the show. She also mentioned that she didn't feel like she fit the typical Bachelorette mold during her season.
Hannah, who is now 29 years old, was a contestant on season 23 of The Bachelor and made it to Colton Underwood's top 7. Typically, the franchise selects the next lead from the top 3 contestants.
During a conversation, Hannah shared her thoughts on Daisy, expressing that she finds her to be sweet, kind, and with an inspiring story of overcoming adversity. Daisy has been open about her health journey, including her battle with Lyme disease and the subsequent need for a cochlear implant. Hannah believes that both Daisy and another contestant would make great Bachelorettes.
Hannah rounded out Joey’s top 4 as possibilities, noting his strong connections with her Bachelorette picks and fellow finalists Rachel Nance and Kelsey Anderson.

Hannah Brown shared her thoughts on the contestants, mentioning that she loves Rachel for being fun and different. She also mentioned that Joey has a cool dynamic with Rachel. However, she feels that Maria brings out something interesting and fun in Joey. She sees Maria as a great girlfriend for making great memories, but she envisions Joey settling down with someone like Daisy or Kelsey A. Hannah believes that Joey really likes Daisy, but she has no spoilers and likes all the contestants.
Hannah is a big fan of Joey, the main actor whom she finds "adorable," "innocent," and "sweet." She believes he is doing a fantastic job handling difficult conversations with the contestants.
"I can't get enough of Joey this season," she expressed. "I believe every woman in America feels the same way. He's just the most adorable thing ever."
The Dancing With the Stars winner mentioned a recent episode where Joey talked about struggling with the idea of being perfect as a standout moment.
"He got really vulnerable about how he was having a tough time. I could relate to that moment when I had a breakdown and thought, 'This is so hard.' He's striving for perfection, dealing with a lot, and it's like facing emotional challenges every day while also trying to stay strong. How do you show up authentically and make sure people truly understand who you are?" she expressed. "Balancing all of that is tough, and I appreciated that he showed that side of himself. It was a great moment, and I applaud the producers and editors for capturing it so well."
