Rumor has it, ABC has found its new Bachelor. Ben Higgins who was recently sent home by Kaitlyn Bristowe on the current season of "The Bachelorette" has reportedly been tapped for the next installment of "The Bachelor".
According to E! News, Ben has yet to finalize his contract but he is "pretty much a lock." He is expected to search for his love in the upcoming 20th season this fall. Official announcement usually won't be made until the current season is over.
If Ben gets signed on, he will continue the show's streak of casting third place finishers like Chris Soules from Andi Dorfman's "Bachelorette". Andi herself finished third when competing for Juan Pablo Galavis' love while the current Bachelorette Bristowe was the second runner-up on Chris's "Bachelor".
Ben Higgins is a 26-year-old software salesman from Warsaw, Indiana. He made it to the top 3 on Bristowe's "Bachelorette" along with two bickering suitors, software sales executive Nick Viall and personal trainer Shawn Booth. "This wonderful girl deserves happiness. Much respect for you @kaitlynbristowe and glad you were our bachelorette," Ben tweeted after his elimination.
