I’ve been an avid fan of The Bachelor since its debut in 2002, and I have to admit that I’m completely hooked. It’s my guilty pleasure, and I unapologetically plan my schedule around its airtime. If you want to hang out with me on Monday nights in the near future, just know I’ll be available as long as you promise to be quiet while I watch one person navigate romantic escapades with a whole crowd of suitors on the screen. A glass of wine or your preferred beverage is a must. What’s not to like? The Bachelor serves up plenty of drama, stunning locations, and fabulous fashion.
In case you missed the news, Nick Viall is set to be the next bachelor on this beloved show, launching its 21st season on January 2 at 8/7c on ABC, and I’ll definitely be tuning in. It doesn’t matter that I’m a busy mom with three kids; Nick is undeniably attractive, and I’ve been eagerly counting down the days until I can kick back on my couch, sipping pinot noir through a straw and admiring him.
Nick is a sensitive guy with just the right amount of charm to make me wish he could help me fix my leaky faucet. He’s intelligent, a talented writer, and his unapologetic confidence—“I’m here to find love, and I don’t care if you like me”—is beyond appealing. He’s made it evident in previous seasons that his purpose on the show is singular: to find the woman of his dreams and build a future together.
Nick has a knack for falling in love deeply, which only adds to his appeal. During his first appearance on the show, he openly expressed his feelings for Andi Dorfman, the season 10 Bachelorette, who had the enviable task of choosing from a pool of handsome men. He was among the final two but ultimately lost out to someone else. Heartbroken, he penned a heartfelt letter to her that resonated with women everywhere, making him even more desirable.
In season 11, he surprised Bachelorette Kaitlyn Bristowe by entering the competition a few episodes in, clearly smitten from the start. Despite ruffling the feathers of his fellow contestants, he unabashedly pursued his feelings for her. We all rooted for him as he fell in love once again, but ended up in second place for the second time. (Can you believe it?)
After a stint on Bachelor in Paradise, where he heartbreakingly told Jen Saviano that he didn’t reciprocate her strong feelings, many wondered when Nick would finally catch a break in love. Now, with over 25 eligible women at his disposal this season, the question remains: Will this be his moment?
If the fourth time isn’t the charm for Mr. Viall, I have a suggestion for him: Nick, it might be time to look beyond reality TV and tropical getaways for love—perhaps you should start searching right here on my sofa.
