- Reality Steve has confirmed that Peter Weber is the next Bachelor.
- ABC were considering both Pilot Pete and Mike Johnson after Tyler Cameron was kicked out of the running.
Plot twist, Bachelor Nation: there’s a new frontrunner in the race toward being ABC’s new Bachelor, and he’s best known for flying planes.
That’s right, Peter Weber (aka Pilot Pete) is reportedly The Bachelor’s top choice right now, at least according to Us Weekly’s sources and spoiler guru Reality Steve. “When the Bachelor announcement is officially made (guessing next week or the following), it will be Peter Weber,” Steve wrote in a tweet. “Not too surprising. That’s who I’ve said I thought it would be for the last month. This isn’t a guess, a prediction, or ‘most likely.’ It’s him.”
ABC has also been considering Mike Johnson (and Tyler Cameron), but Us Weekly
also reports that Peter is basically a sure thing: “Fans love Mike, but Peter has been the producers’ front-runner all along,” their source says. “They also looked into how viewers responded to this year’s Bachelor in Paradise contestants.”
Meanwhile, Tyler “has been out of the running since he started seeing Gigi Hadid," which, yeah—sounds about right.
This is pretty disappointing for us Mike Johnson fans, but nothing has been officially announced just yet so there’s still time for everyone to write several hundred passionate twitter threads.
