Do we really want a Bachelor who isn't ready to settle down with a woman he loves? Hmmm. Not what #thebachelor is all about...— Mike Fleiss (@fleissmeister) August 17, 2017
This wouldn't be the first time Fleiss or other producers have tried to gin up suspense about something that's already a done deal, but People.com says they really are over Peter:
Though
host Chris Harrison has said no choice about The Bachelor‘s
leading man will be made until after Bachelor in Paradise finishes
up its current season, a source now tells PEOPLE that Fleiss’ tweet is
absolutely aimed at the Wisconsin-born personal trainer.
“Peter
is every Bachelor producer’s worst nightmare: the perfect guy
who cannot be coerced into proposing at the end,” shares the insider. “The fact
that no one could talk Peter into buckling under and just giving her the ring
— and that he wouldn’t play along — absolutely enraged the higher-ups
at the show. Including Fleiss, definitely. He is totally on their s— list
forever, and there is no way they will reward him with a shot at The
Bachelor. No way.”
The
source adds, “Even if they weren’t so mad, his unwillingness to play by the
rules of the game has them afraid he’d be another Brad Womack or,
worse, Juan Pablo [Galavis]. Not gonna happen.” (Read the article here.)
If not Peter, who? Eric? Dean? Wells, who is currently serving as the bartender for Bachelor In Paradise? Robby, who now describes himself as a "social media influencer"? Ben Zorn? Luke or Chase, who didn't get the job last summer? Ben Higgins? If it really isn't Peter, then every still- (or once again) single alum of The Bach'ette and BIP will now be scrambling to, as I've said before, "pull a Nick" and get the big job as the next Bachelor.
I admit that I'm more interested in who the next Bachelor will be than in any of the various potential couples currently frolicking in the sun on BIP. Hang on, rosebuds, hang on. Things are about to get juicy...
