‘Bachelor’ 2015: Chris Soules Gets All Kinds Of Support, Producer Not Convinced?
The Bachelor 2015 has still not been confirmed by ABC, but Chris Soules has received an outpouring of support since The Bachelorette finale. Chris the farmer (as he is lovingly referred to) is ready to find love and has taken to Twitter to let everyone know that he’d be more than happy to be chosen as the next Bachelor. However, the show’s producer, Mike Fleiss, apparently still needs some convincing.
According to The Epoch Times, there are actually four guys in the running. Soules, Arie Luyendyk (from Emily Maynard’s season), Marquel Martin (from Andi Dorfman’s season), and even Bachelor/ette host, Chris Harrison (or maybe that’s just a joke?).
Despite very early reports that Chris S. had been offered the gig, Mike Fleiss is playing the field, even saying that the decision is very hard. However, it seems that an overwhelming number of people want to see Chris S. take the helm. And that is more than likely the way things are going to go.
The Bachelor 2015 will likely be announced at some point during Bachelor In Paradise, which airs on Monday nights starting tonight. If ABC really wants to get ratings up, a little teasing of a big announcement is all it will take. Of course, that’s likely what producers are going for.
Check out these confusing tweets from Mike Fleiss about who the next Bachelor might be.
This is so tough. I’m asking everyone. My chiropractor is Team Chris…

Regardless of which of these great guys gets to be the next Bachelor, I hope you’ll give him a chance… #openmindopenheart.

Will The Bachelor 2015 be Chris Soules? As previously reported by The Inquisitr, the news has been confirmed by several people including Reality Steve and Cody Sattler (from Andi’s season of The Bachelorette). Also, some women who have already tried out for the show say that they were told Soules was the one.
Do you think Chris has already been offered the job? If not Chris, who would you want to see as the next bachelor?
