After the much-adored Ben Higgins was eliminated on Monday night’s episode, many fans knew right away that he had to be the bachelor. Looks like they may be right.
Bachelorette Kaitlyn Bristowe sent Ben H home, leaving her with Shawn Booth and Nick Viall as the final two. Even though Ben H was devastated, he handled the rejection very maturely.
In his car ride home, Ben H talked about how he had become a better person and how Kaitlyn helped him to learn to love.
He is exactly what the Bachelor Nation is looking for.
US Weekly reports that many former Bachelor and Bachelorette stars hinted in their tweets that Ben H may be the new Bachelor.
Bachelor Chris Soules runner-up Becca Tilley tweeted, “If @benhiggi is the next bachelor- they better cast the best of the best for that guy! Wow. What a gem!”
Bachelorette Andi Dorfman’s ex-fiancé Josh Murray tweeted, “Uh oh, my little brother Ben got eliminated?? Doesn’t 3rd place always get the bachelor gig? Big W there, hopefully he finds a good one!”
Ben H himself has not confirmed the rumors that he is the new bachelor. He reveals to ET Online that those “conversations haven’t happened yet.”
He does say that he it is likely that he would accept the offer, “The opportunity is a great one and from a 30,000 foot view I would have to consider it.”
