There are about three months to go before “The Bachelor” returns to the screen with its newest edition, but the showrunners aren’t wasting any time, and they’ve been actively sharing various bits of information about the upcoming season to get their fans excited. Just recently, we’ve found out a partial list of contestants for season 21, and we’ve also seen some curious press releases related to Nick Viall.
Four more women will be up against each other to capture the heart of Nick Viall, including a singer and a dental hygienist, and the overall list is growing longer and longer. It would be interesting to see if the producers are planning any special surprises among the contestants, or if they’re going to keep things relatively unchanged for the new season.
Some fans suspect that there might be something more unusual coming up this time. The show has been around for quite a while, and running for twenty seasons has started to take its toll on its originality. It probably wouldn’t hurt the showrunners to explore some more interesting angles for the interactions between the contestants, but let’s first see what they’ve planned for the upcoming season.
Meanwhile, various details about the new season have been making their way online, in some cases apparently against the wishes of the showrunners. It does seem like they’re cleverly trying to control the media with some alleged “leaks” in order to create a more dramatic environment for the airing of the new season, and there’s nothing really wrong with that, given the nature of the show itself.
Nick Viall was reportedly spotted having a solo date with one of the contestants, taking place on a boat. The event was captured in some candid shots which have been making their way around the Internet, much to the excitement of some fans.
Others claim that they’ve been avoiding the pictures as they’re an obvious spoiler for the upcoming season, and they don’t want to ruin their impressions of it. Which, as TV fans already know, is not an uncommon situation with many shows.
Nick himself seems to be having a lot of fun with the show, and the star recently celebrated his 36th birthday in a fantastic environment. It looks like he’s ready for another season of exciting moments too, and the ladies are going to have to put a lot of effort into convincing him that they’re the ones he should choose.
We suspect that the producers are going to release some more teasers for the upcoming season in the next few weeks, as there is too much excitement among their fans to pass up on this opportunity. The show relies on word of mouth and fan discussions to a large extent, after all, and the showrunners have clearly realized this early on, so we don’t expect them to go light on the marketing.
Because of this, fans who can’t wait until January to see the new season should keep an eye on social media and the accounts of the various people behind the show, as we expect them to be quite active in the coming weeks.
And for those who want to get the full experience fresh and unspoiled, season 21 arrives on January 2, giving everyone ample time to prepare for the new episodes. Until then, we suspect that we’re going to get a few more hints for what we can expect over the next year.
