The Golden Bachelorette's Mark Anderson Vows "To Do Better" As Backlash Grows Over His Red Flags

The Golden Bachelorette suitor Mark Anderson took to Instagram to make a promise to his social media followers that he would "do better," but he wasn't actually talking about the backlash he's been receiving amid rumors he could be the next lead of The Golden Bachelor. Mark first burst onto the national scene during The Bachelor season 28 when Joey Graziadei met Kelsey Anderson's family. Fans immediately took to social media to call for him to star on either The Golden Bachelor or The Golden Bachelorette. Sure enough, when Joan Vassos' cast of men was announced, Mark made the cut.

The Golden Bachelor 's Mark Anderson is a reality TV star now, and he's trying to step up his game in one particular area.

Mark may not have grown up with social media like his children did, but he tries to post updates for his followers, even if he thinks he's not very good at it. In one of his most recent updates, Mark shared an Instagram post with the caption, "Ok...one day I promise to do better….my (lack of) posting skill." The photo he included with the post featured Kelsey and Joey, with the text, "It's DWTS Tuesday...and a dedication dance." The photo also showed an Instagram caption from Joey talking about dedicating his most recent DWTS performance to his fiancé.

Mark Anderson Seems To Think He Needs To Up His Game

Mark seems to think he could use some improvement in this area of his life now that he's a reality TV star. Becoming a reality star or a celebrity brings with it certain expectations today when it comes to keeping an active social media profile. Mark is obviously not used to that way of life, so he's admitting that social media isn't in his wheelhouse.

Fans in the comments section didn't seem to mind, and in fact, they praised Mark and said he can post whatever he wants, whenever he wants. Interestingly, even though Mark appears to believe he's not doing a good job at posting on social media, his Instagram page proves he's better than he thinks he is. He regularly posts updates, whether it's about his future son-in-law on DWTS, his time in The Golden Bachelorette season 2 with Joan, or having fun like wearing a shark costume.

A 'Golden Bachelorette' Theory Says Mark Anderson Will Be Next Lead

\\As speculation mounts over whether he will star in The Golden Bachelor season 2, he has been scrutinized a lot more than usual lately. Mark's been accused of having ulterior motives with Joan, being on The Golden Bachelorette for the fame instead of love, and being a producer plant. However, it's clear that he joined the ABC reality show because he became an instant fan-favorite on The Bachelor. Sure, he might have to up his social media game if he's cast on The Golden Bachelor, but until then, he's having fun and enjoying life--and there's nothing wrong with that.

The Golden Bachelorette airs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. EDT on ABC.
