Looking forward to getting to know him.

I was too but I kept reminding myself how hilarious I find it when women run away from Nick and instantly felt better each time. Looking forward to seeing him show up on Ben's season, next year's bip, and of course the next ette. Never give up, Tricky!

Alanna! I do think Nick plans on returning....just not sure when.

Is it embarrassing to say I never knew what verified IG means until I read this forum?
So it's not all waste of time for me,

Pretty sure anyone with enough d-list rapport and $$ can have their PR team verify their IG page. I figured this was what Nick did seeing as the company in his bio specializes in social media branding.

Pretty sure that is not accurate. Otherwise there would be plenty others who have this. JMO but will see what it is all about.

I disagree. Money talks. He's hiring the right people. Unfortunately (fortunately) it did not secure him the gig.

JMO.

Oh wow, is Ben confirmed?  Nice choice!  I'll be watching for the first time since Brad 2.0

Definitely a huge improvement over the last two Bachelor choices.

Article's up at US about Ben.  I believe it, but a source is all they're saying, nothing from ABC, MF, CH, etc. directly, yet. Seems like there would be a quote from CH or someone about how happy they are for a season of him or something.

From second runner-up to man in demand! Ben Higgins may not have won Kaitlyn Bristowe's heart on the latest season of The Bachelorette, but it turns out he's won ABC's. A source confirms to Us Weekly that the 27-year-old will be the 20th lead of The Bachelor.

So, is Tenley going to make an appearance like many have wondered?  

The boyish software salesman is already freeing up his schedule -- and his love life. It turns out that Higgins just turned down a promotion at work and halted a romance with Season 14's Tenley Molzahn. Says the source, "They want to hook up but haven’t. They’re being careful not to jeopardize Ben H.’s Bachelor stint."

I for one will wait until MF, ABC or someone reliable from the Bachelor franchise announces the next lead for the Bachelor.  I will not take as fact, US magazine or any other one.
Regardless of who gets the Bachelor role, I wish them good luck.  They are going to need it.

Who said he hired the right people to get the gig? Do you know what is in his head or what his future holes? Are we sure he does what he does because he wants the bachelor because something else has come up and he wants to take advantage of it?

Goodness, you're such a cynic, he's just a high road taking, simple romantic who's looking for love!! No fakity fakeness fakery here, no sirree bob! Why would he ever care about being insta verified if not for love? It's obviously just him trying to lure, errr, excuse me, find, yet another (stupid) girl to fall in love with via sm, he can't find love any other way!!!

Hmm, Ben's not 27. I do believe he will be the Bach but that Us Weekly article isn't actually confirmation.

Where did the confirmation come from? I missed several posts.  Thanks!
