First, Chris Harrison pulled a joke on viewers, sitting down with Nick Viall and asking him if he was over Kaitlyn Bristowe. He also asked him if he was ready to take on a whole group of women. Then, Harrison revealed that Ben Higgins was the actual new Bachelor. Higgins stated:
I am [ready to find love]. I have a great example of love through my parents and grandparents and family. I’m ready to start sharing my life with somebody.
