Details about the production of "The Bachelor" season 21 are now being talked about online after leaked reports were posted online.

Reality Steve recently leaked several pieces of information about the ongoing production of "The Bachelor" that will be released in 2017.

The leaked report mentioned two names who were added to the roster of women who will vie for Nick Viall's attention in the upcoming season of "The Bachelor."

According to the blogger, a dance instructor and videographer named Christen Whitney and a nurse from Los Angeles named Brittany Farrar signed up to fight for Nick's love. But the consistent reality show tipster clarified that the Brittany, who joined "The Bachelor" 2017, is not the same as the Brittany who became controversial after posting cheating allegations against "The Bachelorette" season 12 winner, Jordan Rodgers, on her Instagram account.

Reality Steve also revealed that Nick offered the first rose of the season to the 31-year-old lawyer from Dallas, Rachel Lindsay.

Speculations claimed that Nick gave her the very first impression rose to Rachel after they spent a one-on-one date in New Orleans.

While Rachel happens to be the very first woman of color who joined the long-running reality dating show, the blogger claimed that it was not the reason why Nick chose to give her his first impression rose this season.

As per Reality Steve's report, Rachel is a very attractive woman. He also mentioned that it would be interesting to see how far Rachel will go throughout the series since the production for the season is still ongoing.

Meanwhile, Us Weekly revealed that one of the contestants for "The Bachelor" 2017 is a woman from Nick's past. Based on the report, a source claimed that the said woman already knew him before he joined the show. But the source also revealed that Nick does not want to see anyone from his past to appear in the season. Does it mean that Nick will not be excited to see her vie for his attention?

The new season of "The Bachelor" will air on ABC sometime in early January 2017.
