Will Ben Higgins and Nick Viall be co-bachelors for Season 20? The Bachelor 2016 spoilers tease that the producers of the ABC franchise are leaning towards have two Season 20 Bachelors, just like they did with Britt Nilsson and Kaitlyn Bristowe on Season 11 of The Bachelorette. Chris Harrison is always trying out new gimmicks to keep the reality TV shows fresh and alive, and having two Bachelorettes upset a lot of fans but overall it really helped stir up some buzz for Season 11 and there was a definite improvement in the ratings department. So, Chris and TPTB have decided to mirror The Bachelorette’s success and have two Bachelors in Season 20 – then they will allow the women to vote for whichever man they want to date.
Ben Higgins was basically a lock for the next Bachelor, all of the fans seemed to love him – and it would be absurd not to give him the gig. But, why Nick Viall? Is it really fair to give him a third shot at love, when he couldn’t seal the deal the first two times around? Honestly, if we were Nick we would just count our losses and try to fade out of the spotlight – he would have to be crazy to continue subjecting himself to the mortifying public dumping ritual.
An insider close to production dished to CDL, “Nick actually redeemed himself during the second season of The Bachelorette, and he has been dumped twice now on national television, a lot of people think that he genuinely deserves a happy ending after all of this. Besides, a lot of fans are still furious that there were two Bachelorettes, and they took the power away from the women by letting the men vote. This way, it will even the playing field – and everyone can stop calling the show sexist.”
We’re still not sure how we feel about watching an entire season of Nick Viall, then again the odds of him receiving more votes than Ben Higgins are pretty slim. Which guy do you think would become the next Bachelor? Let us know what you think in the comments below!
