We might not have gotten fan favorite Peter Kraus as our new bachelor, but the upcoming new season of The Bachelor still promises to be a show worth watching. So, grab your popcorn and prepare for a new season of scandal, drama, and romance as we follow the dating escapades of our returning bachelor Arie Luyendyk, Jr.
So, what should we expect from the new season? The few teases that have been released so far have been pretty interesting--we're already getting hints that there's going to be a villain (I mean, what would The Bachelor be without a few frenemies thrown in?), and one of the contestants will have a pixie cut (shocking!)--but most of the information out there has to do with Arie, who is returning to the show in order to find another chance at love.
Here's the rundown: Arie is a race car driver who has been on the show before, when he was competing for Bachelorette Emily Maynard's heart. When that didn't work out, he decided to lay low for a few years before coming back to the show as the Bachelor himself. According to fans, he's sweet and funny, so his personality will be the perfect foil to all the drama going down in the mansion.
In short, it's time to get your roses ready! The Bachelor returns in January, so start thinking about what kind of rosé you want to buy for the show's airing--and be sure to invite me!
