'The Bachelor' 2015: Season 19 begins filming with ex-'Bachelorette' contestant Chris Soules aka Chris the Farmer

With Chris Soules confirming on ABC's "Good Morning America" last Aug. 27 that he is, indeed, the new Bachelor, producers of the reality dating game show "The Bachelor" have begun revealing information on the filming of its latest season.

As Soules had reportedly met up with the 25 bachelorettes as they were brought in by the limousines, speculations on potential fan favorites are beginning to spark up online discussions.

The female candidates have been said to have already moved into the mansion, and rumors about the bachelorettes' backgrounds have surfaced. For instance, one of the women has been said to have been previously married, and has made the decision to only get intimate after exchanging vows with her chosen man.

Another bachelorette has also been rumored to have given birth at a very young age, hence was a teen mother. A former cheerleader for an NFL team may also be included in the current lineup of Soules' potential love interests.

While such speculations have begun to spread, it remains a fact that "The Bachelor" will be limiting communication as they film, which will explain a lack of updates and personal posts on social media from the candidates and the 32-year-old bachelor himself.

On the whole, Soules is emphasizing his preference for a serious and long-term relationship. Also deemed as Chris the Farmer, Soules has already opened up about his previous experience on "The Bachelorette" which prompted him to try things out on "The Bachelor."

"I believe in the process. I believe in what I went through on the previous show. That's why I'm doing it," Soules said.

The 32-year-old bachelor had been a contestant and third-placer on the tenth season of "The Bachelorette," featuring Andi Dorfman. During the season, the audience had gotten to know Soules as a successful farmland investment specialist, and his family as owners of Soules Farms.

As one of ABC's competitive reality dating shows has already begun filming, fans can look forward to the "The Bachelor" returning for season 19 in January 2015.
