'The Bachelorette' 2016 Finale Spoilers & Updates: 'The Bachelor' 2017 May be Revealed on 'After The Final Rose' Special – Is it Luke Pell, Chase McNary or James Taylor?
"The Bachelorette: After The Final Rose" episode tonight is set to give a dramatic ending to JoJo Fletcher's search for true love. Aside from the revelation of Fletcher's final pick among Robby Hayes and Jordan Rodgers, fans of the ABC reality dating show are also looking forward to the possible announcement of the bachelor who will be handing out roses next year.
ABC did not give any hint that it will be dropping the identity of "The Bachelor" 2017 on the "After The Final Rose" special. However, the announcement is very possible considering that host Chris Harrison already did the same during "The Bachelorette" finale in 2013, according to US Weekly.
Speculations about "The Bachelor" 2017 are now circulating around. Fletcher's past suitors Luke Pell, Chase McNary and James Taylor are among the rumored bachelors who landed the dating gig.

The Fan Favorite
In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Pell teased about his possible next gig as "The Bachelor" 2017. "It's a possibility. I definitely would not pass on it!" the 31-year-old musician stated.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Pell is the fan favorite this season because of his mysterious and "hopeless romantic" personality. After he was shockingly eliminated by Fletcher last week, fans have campaigned on social media to give him another shot to find love by being "The Bachelor" 2017.
The Heartbroken
Aside from Pell, McNary is another popular choice for "The Bachelor" 2017. He told Entertainment Tonight that he is in talks with the showrunners about becoming the next bachelor. However, he later retracted his statement by telling E! News that there was no offer from the network.
McNary was eliminated from the dating show after his overnight date with Fletcher and his backstory may entice the network to sign him as the next bachelor. But according to the Inquisitr, despite having good looks and a stable job, the network would probably not pick the 27-year-old medical sales representative because he lacks personality.
The Crooner
In addition to McNary and Pell, there were also speculations that Taylor will be "The Bachelor" 2017. A source of Life & Style revealed that the producers of "The Bachelor" are interested of offering the gig to the 29-year-old crooner.
"His personality really appeals to viewers. Producers haven't made any decisions yet, but they think he could be a strong and interesting choice," the source disclosed "They're definitely considering him."
"The Bachelor" 2017 will be aired on ABC starting January 2017. Taping for the episodes of the reality dating show will kick off next month.
