Peter Kraus
Up until the very end, the personal trainer/business owner from Madison, Wisconsin was a fan favorite, with #TeamPeter trending on Twitter during the finale. But if he has (very reasonable) issues with proposing to a person after only a few weeks of dating, could he actually be a good Bachelor?
Rachel Lindsay outright said that maybe this reality show dating format isn't the right format for Peter to find love, and she'd probably know better than most people, but still, it's hard to imagine Peter just going back to his job and disappearing from our lives forever. (We can't see him on Bachelor in Paradise either.)
Eric Bigger
It took a minute for Eric to make a big impression in season 13, but he eventually showed that he's a sweetheart with a positive attitude and a good story to tell. His lack of relationship experience could be a problem, but it also could make his journey even more interesting.
Alex Bordyukov
While he didn't get a ton of screentime during Rachel's season, both Rachel and Bryan are rooting for him to get the job due to his smarts, his comedy skills, his quirkiness, and, of course, his face. We ain't mad at it.
Dean Unglert
Dean won the hearts of viewers everywhere as we got to know his family and learned the heartbreaking story of how that family fell apart after his mother's death. It also helps that he's funny, and sweet, and nice to look at. However, he's young at only 26, and he's also about to be on Bachelor in Paradise, which could make or break a person's future in the franchise. So we'll just have to see about Dean.
Kenny Layne
Kenny! We want the best for you and your adorable daughter! Which is why we think he shouldn't be the next Bachelor. We're not sure Kenny, a professional wrestler, could handle the pressure that comes with the job, especially if he's missing his kid.
Also not working in his favor? No one who has gone on a two-on-one date, which usually pits the contestants who clash the most against each other, has gone on to be the next Bachelor.
Anthony Battle
....Sorry, we fell asleep while trying to come up with something, anything to say about Anthony. He seems perfectly pleasant. Great for real-life, not-so-great when you need to carry a franchise like a backpack.
Iggy Rodriguez
Frankly, he would probably gossip about the ladies behind their backs more than the ladies would. Good candidate for Bachelor in Paradise, not the Bach. Not even close.
Will Gaskins
Will definitely flew under the radar this season, but when he did pop up, it was clear that he has charisma, charm and confidence (and a love of Game of Thrones). It's just...with so little screen time throughout the season, it's hard to imagine he's in the running.
Josiah Graham
Josiah has a great story...and he loves to talk about it. (Very Kelsey Poe?) The attorney came off rather confident, some would say arrogant, throughout the season, even making accusations about other contestants in his ITMs, including that Iggy shoots "steroids in his nuts." We do think his competitive nature would lend quite nicely to The Bachelor Winter Games come February.
Matt Munson
WHO?
Just kidding. We know that Matt is the guy who wore a penguin suit on night one. And that is literally all we know.
Adam Gottschalk
We feel like an owl, but who? (Also, you know it's not good when your puppet Adam Jr. has more personality than you.)
Jack Stone
Name one thing about Jack Stone other than the fact his name is Jack Stone. Come on, we don't have all day...
Jonathan Treece
Unless The Bachelor is moving to Cinemax, we're pretty sure the tickle monster (who prefers to go by this profession rather than DOCTOR) won't be violating women's personal space and abdomens in primetime anytime soon.
Brady Ervin
You can't convince us Brady isn't secretly the male version of Tyra Banks' character in a secret Life-Size spinoff movie. You just can't.
Diggy Moreland
JUSTICE FOR DIGGY. JUSTICE FOR DIGGY'S BOWTIES. The only way for ABC to right the wrong of denying us more time with Diggy is to make him the next Bachelor, it's only fair.
But we'll also take him on Bachelor in Paradise, we guess.
