While filming is underway for "The Bachelor" 2017, a list of rumored contestants who will vie for Nick Viall's attention had been released.
Viall is known for being the perennial runner-up during the 10th and 11th seasons of "The Bachelorette," where Andi Dorfman opted to pick Josh Murray over him in 2014 and Kaitlyn Bristowe end up with Shawn Booth in 2015. But now that he will have a chance to pick who will end up with his final rose, speculations claimed that some of the women from his past will be a part of "The Bachelor" 2017.
"I won't be shocked if somebody very familiar shows up," series host Chris Harrison told People. "We've done that in the past when someone's been on one season. He's been on basically three. I don't see how someone won't rear their head and show up," he went on to say.
While the appearance of both Bachelorettes is still unconfirmed, other women who were linked to Viall during his stint at "Bachelor in Paradise" could also join the upcoming season of ABC's long-running dating reality show. It may include Jen Saviano, who he had a brief romance with in Mexico. However, Saviano revealed via Twitter that she has no plans to compete in "The Bachelor" 2017 to date Viall again.
Meanwhile, Viall told People in a separate interview that he met up with "The Bachelor" 2016 star, Ben Higgins, and his fiancée, Lauren Bushnell, for dinner. The current Bachelor reportedly received a very important advice from his predecessor. "The advice that Ben gave me that probably stuck with me the most was if I'm not lucky enough to meet someone that I really feel in my heart that I want to spend the rest of my life with, don't be afraid not to get engaged," Viall said.
ABC has yet to announce the official premiere date of "The Bachelor" 2017.
