ABC to Announce New Bachelor During Live After the Final Rose Special

Who's the new Bachelor? Viewers will find out during the "After the Finale Rose" special that airs immediately following The Bachelorette finale, ABC President Paul Lee told TVGuide.com.

While most seasons indicate an obvious choice for the next season, heading into the final episode there isn't a fan favorite. After Brooks broke Desiree's heart in the penultimate episode, it's hard to imagine her choosing any of the final three. Does that mean that Chris, Brooks or Drew — who are all attending the After the Final Rose special -- could return to find love as next season's Bachelor? Or will it be outspoken James, who made it clear that he wanted the job? Could it be Ben, who received the very first "first impression rose"? Or will it be Juan Pablo, the sexy Venezuelan who made quite an impression in his short time on the show? Finally, will it be someone entirely new? Vote in our poll!

The Bachelorette finale airs Monday at 8/7c on ABC.

Would they show Chris (or Drew) getting his heart broken, then turn around and announce him as Bach?
Maybe it is Juan Pa!

But then again, Chris being filmed in Seattle with roses…..could be him!!

I have to give credit where credit is due .. TPTB have done a great job keeping things under wraps this season .. They have kept EVERYBODY guessing .. Haven't seen a season like this before .. Has been interesting at the very least

Not to me it hasn't. To say it's a 'roller coaster' is putting it mildly.

I do remember it..I always liked him and so looked forward to his season...what a terrible disappointment..he really messed up.

I don't remember that....They brought Ben back..it wasn't at his own ATFR.....it was maybe at the AFTR for The Bachelor show that just ended after The Bachlorette or maybe i"m wrong. I just remember them bringing him out after I hadnt seen him in awhile cuz I thought. oh god not that cocky ba$tard.

okay nm...that wouldn't make sense cuz he would be on the next Bachelor show. I am confused.

That is correct, Ben was not announced until after the AFTR.

I agree, and even though I can't resist reading the spoilers it's actually better that they may not be true. it's more fun this way. kinda gets boring knowing the ending for sure.
