The news broke for who was going to be the next Bachelor. If you have been living under a bachelor nation rock, Arie Luyendyk Jr. is, in fact, the next Bachelor. He was in the final 2 for Emily Maynard's heart during her season of the Bachelorette.
So when I found out that he was announced as the next one to find love, I felt different emotions.
I like everyone else thought that either Peter, Eric, or Wells were the front runners. I was positive that they were going to pick one of them because they are all very current and well liked by the majority of bachelor nation. So when I scrolled through my social media yesterday morning, I really didn't believe that Arie was chosen.
It took me a few seconds to remember who he actually was, I promise I'm a true bachelor fan but I myself forgot just a tad. I then remembered and kind of had a light bulb moment.
I realized that if Peter became the Bachelor, he would have pulled a Juan Pablo at the end and not have chosen anyone. I think the producers just had a reality check and knew that Peter would not have been a good fit all the way through.
So what do we fans do now? Well, we do what we always do as Bachelor Nation fans, we continue to watch the show! Just because the Bachelor isn't the popular choice this season, it doesn't mean that it won't be a season worth watching. I firmly believe that all Bachelor Nation fans will be on Team Arie by the end of the season and everyone else watching as well!
