Who Is 'The Bachelor' Season 24?
Hannah Brown’s season of The Bachelorette isn’t even over yet, but people are already betting on who the Bachelor will be next year. Not that we blame them. I mean, Brown has left us with some pretty fantastic contenders.
There’s Mike Johnson, an obvious front-runner, who would make history as the franchise’s first black and veteran Bachelor. There’s also Peter Weber, whose breakup with Brown on last night’s episode made even the most cynical Bachelor viewers tear up. And don’t forget about Tyler Cameron, who, yes, is still competing for Brown’s heart, but if he loses tonight will surely become a top choice.
Below, we’ve compiled a complete breakdown of all the men who could reasonably become the next Bachelor after Hannah Brown gives out her final rose. Read on to impress your friends when this question inevitably comes up at your viewing party tonight.
The chances of Johnson suiting up for The Bachelor are incredibly high. Not only is social media clamoring for it, but several of his fellow contestants are too. “I’m really hoping Mike’s the next Bachelor because I think he wears his heart on his sleeve,” Dylan Barbour, who appeared on Brown’s season and is slated to go on Bachelor in Paradise later this summer, tells Glamour. “Based off the first impression, I was really intimidated by Mike. But after talking to him, he’s a great guy, he’s a real teddy bear, and he’s also strong at the same time. He’s intelligent and really in tune with himself, so I hope he’s able to have the opportunity to find love.”
Adds John Paul Jones, another Bachelor contender: “I think it would be pretty cool to see Mike Johnson as the next Bachelor. I think he’s definitely a fan favorite, and there’s never been an African American Bachelor, so that would be interesting to watch.”
As for how Johnson feels about the job, he tells Glamour, “The hesitation is because I don’t do it for…to be the first veteran Bachelor. I would do it because I feel the 30 potential suitors are there for the right reasons. I know that in Bachelor and Bachelorette, love can happen in this process. I just want to make sure the 30 suitors are there for the right reasons as well.”
