Have we already met the next Bachelor?!
While The Bachelorette is still in the middle of
its drama-filled season, the ABC hit franchise
is already looking ahead at its upcoming 20th
season of The Bachelor and who will be their
next leading man. But have they already found
their guy in last season's winner, Josh Murray,
who split from Andi Dorfman in January?!
Rumors have been swirling that the handsome
Atlanta-based fan-favorite could star, and he
even told us he'd definitely consider becoming
the next Bachelor.
But is Josh really being looked at as the next
Bachelor? We went straight to the best source
possible to get the truth about this casting
rumor: Chris Harrison!
"I know people have said that, I'm not sure in
this day and age what constitutes a rumor. I
can tell you that those rumors don't come
from us, it's not internal and it's not being
thrown about in the Bachelor franchise and it's
not being talked about at ABC," Harrison tells
E! News. "Maybe he's talking about it or
maybe Bachelor Nation's talking about it. I
know they love him and he's a great guy by the
way. Great-looking guy and obviously, we saw
that he was heartbroken after his relationship
with Andi. So would he be a viable candidate?
Sure, he's a great guy, but I know we're not
having those discussions."
Oh, and ladies who are fans of corn and
farming, don't get your hopes up that Chris
Soules will come back for another shot at
televised love after his split from Whitney
Bischoff, as Harrison tells us, "Prince Farming
will definitely not be back."
So with Josh and Chris out of the way, that
leaves all of Kaitlyn Bristowe's suitors in the
running, and Harrison seems confident that
their next Bachelor is currently still on the
show. "Just off the top of my head I can think
of four guys," Harrison says. "Those guys are
still on the show, so it's not hard to figure out
who we're interested in."
And Harrison says he and The Bachelor team
definitely take viewers' opinions, especially
from social media, into consideration when
making their decision. "I see people
responding to them. You take a little bit of a
Litmus test off of social media," he explains.
"So who are they talking about? There's a
pretty good wide spectrum of men they're
mentioning, so I think we have some good
guys."
The guys currently left on the show? Shawn B,
Ben Z, Ben H, Tanner, Joe, Jared, Chris
"Cupcake," JJ and, of course, Nick Viall, who
also appeared on Andi's season and made
headlines this week after it was revealed he
was the contestant Kaitlyn slept with ahead of
the fantasy suites in Monday night's episode.
Our best bet for which of Kaitlyn's men will be
the next Bachelor, if we're taking a certain
Snapchat snafu into account? The shy-but-
cute Ben H, or Ben Z, who opened up in a big
away during Monday night's episode.
But we're curious to hear who you think could
be the next Bachelor: Josh or one of Kaitlyn's
men? Sound off in the comments below!
