The leading man for "The Bachelor" season 21 has been the subject of discussions following the wrap-up of "The Bachelorette" season 12, with JoJo Fletcher choosing [spoiler alert!] Jason Rodgers.

"The Bachelor" creator Mike Fleiss has been dropping hints on Twitter as to who will be the next man taking on a romantic adventure in the next season.

He teased that he will be leaving clues about the identity of the chosen bachelor every day and that these clues "will become more and more revealing as the official announcement approaches."

So far, his clues hinted that the man headlining "The Bachelor' season 21 is very good-looking and that he "likes sunrises more than sunsets."

As per Us Weekly, netizens were quick to speculate that it is Luke Pell, the fan-favorite war veteran, who grew up in his family ranch, which is where his love for sunrises, should it be him being referred to, might have developed.

Pell is actually the frontrunner to be the next bachelor. He has even addressed the reports and showed willingness to take on the role. However, there's no way of knowing if he got "The Bachelor" gig.

"The Bachelorette" viewers quickly fell in love with the Texas-based hunk as he worked to capture Fletcher's affection. With ABC known for taking fans' favorites into consideration, there's a big chance that Pell might be the new bachelor.

Meanwhile, in Fleiss' latest tease, he said that "The Bachelor" season 21 leading man "makes a mean tuna casserole," which made some fans think is Chad Johnson.

"The Bachelorette" contestant is notorious for being a troublemaker, hence the nickname "Bad Chad." He has certainly caught fans' and media outlets' attention, but his behavior might cost him the chance.

For now, it looks like Pell has it in the bag, unless someone from "Bachelor in Paradise" shows a bigger potential. Fleiss promised to personally announced "The Bachelor" season 21 star, but it is expected that the reveal won't be until next year.
