If this season of The Bachelor has taught us anything, it's that Peter Weber is not great at making decisions.
Let's hope that the franchise's producers are better in that department, because it's down to the final days of casting for The Bachelorette.
With an announcement expected soon, everyone is eager — and nervous — to hear the name of the next leading lady.
Helpfully, Reality Steve has reported some names to help narrow things down.
And another report that caught even him by surprise has fans hopeful for a bold new season like none that fans have seen before.
Take a look at everything that we know.
Which of them will become the next Bachelorette?
1. Who is the next Bachelorette?
It’s a huge responsibility, and not everyone is cut out for it. The announcement will allegedly be coming very soon, but reports and rumors alike have narrowed down the list of who is expected to fill these shoes next season.
2. We can rule out some usual prospects
It seems pretty safe to say that the Bachelor Nation as a whole is not eager to see most of Peter’s ladies as The Bachelorette. Sure, Victoria F is interesting and Hannah Ann is one of the most beautiful women to ever appear in the franchise. But Victoria has some real baggage, and Hannah Ann is frankly way too young to get married. It doesn’t matter how genuine she is.
3. There is one notable exception
A number of very vocal fans have suggested that Kelsey Weier has the chops to be the leading lady of her own season.
4. She was (mostly) drama-free
With the exception of some very memorable champagne drama, Kelsey seemed there to win Peter, not to get into petty squabbles with her fellow contestants.
5. And she made it pretty far
Kelsey made it all the way to hometown dates, but didn’t quite make it to the fantasy suites. Given the turmoil that arose from Peter’s suite dates, that puts her in a sweet spot with Bachelor fans no matter what they thought of Peter.s general horniness.
6. That’s great, but …
Our opinions don’t mean much. ABC demonstrated that when they pulled Arie Luyendyk Jr. out of a hat and totally blindsided the fandom. So what does ABC think about the next leading lady?
