VIDEO : 'Bachelor' Director Goes Behind the Scenes of Nick's Finale, Previews 'Bachelorette' Diversi

For Nick Viall, the fourth time was finally the charm. After two Bachelorettes, one turn on Bachelor in Paradise and his own Bachelor season, Viall finally experienced a successful proposal Monday night. Now that the final rose of ABC?s 21st Bachelor season has been handed out, longtime franchise director Ken Fuchs spoke with The Hollywood Reporter to reflect on the 36-year-old?s season and look ahead at the historic next season of The Bachelorette, when Rachel Lindsay takes over as the first black lead of ABC's reality dating series. Fuchs said, "Nick wears his heart on his sleeve, and I give him a lot of credit for that," he continues on to add, "Having been on the show and then not ended up being the final pick, I think he?s been through the emotions on all sides, and so he can really relate to what these girls are going through." Fuchs then comments on Rachel becoming the first African American Bachelorette, "We don?t tell Nick who to pick, so the fact that he kept [Rachel] that long and she was on the show and she was African-American was only a good thing for us and for the franchise because it?s definitely about time."
