The Bachelor 2015: Will the next Bachelor be Arie Luyendyk or Chris Soules?

It's time to pick that next bachelor for "The Bachelor" 2015 and there are two top contenders for it, namely Arie Luyendyk Jr. and Chris Soules. Who's your bet?

Us Weekly published the report that both Luyendyk and Soules are in the running for the next bachelor. Both got what it takes and both want to meet their soulmate. Soules was a castoff from Andi Dorfman's "The Bachelorette" while Luyendyk was a castoff from Emily Maynard's season.

The source tells Us Weekly that "Arie is being considered and filmed for promos." Then another source tells the magazine: "He already had his packages shot and they even got him a trainer so he could buff up and be camera ready with his shirt off."

However, there is another source that says Soules is also a frontrunner for "The Bachelor" 2015 as he was a fan favorite. "Chris is still on the short list to be the next Bachelor and no decisions have been made. They won't be announcing the new person for several weeks ... but Chris is definitely still in the running," the source said.

The rumor is confirmed, at least on Luyendyk's side. He took to Twitter to confirm that he is indeed a candidate for the next bachelor. "No hiding it anymore! Would love to share my journey with all of you, but it's up to #bachelornation. Open, hopeful and more than ready." This was his response to the Us Weekly article published.

Both men are fan favorites and both are looking for love. Who will you be rooting for as "The Bachelor" 2015?
