The Bachelor Season 24 Preview

This season of The Bachelor promises to be chock full of drama, tears, and insanely romantic dates in exotic places. It is also no secret that Bachelorette and recent Dancing With the Stars champ Hannah Brown is going to be showing up, which throws Peter for a bit of a loop.

“I was just jaw-dropped,” Weber told The Hollywood Reporter in a recent interview. “A little bit of me was hoping she was going to try to come back to the house, or ask if she could join that first night and just see where it goes — if I’m being completely honest.”

We don’t yet know if Hannah does join the season, but one thing is for sure. Something interesting is brewing for The Bachelor this season. Usually by the day of the premiere episode, spoiler guru Reality Steve has spilled the beans on who is going to win the season. But this year he hasn’t and fans are speculating it’s because the season’s outcome is still up in the air.

Indeed, even Weber and host Chris Harrison are saying that this season can’t be spoiled by anyone.

“I’m very confident that no one is going to be able to spoil [the season],” said Weber in the same interview. “There’s a reason I believe that, and obviously can’t say it otherwise it gives it away. I’m very confident that Reality Steve and all of these people, they’re not going to find out what happens — there’s no way they’re going to find out.”

Harrison also told Good Morning America that viewers “truly aren’t going to know how it’s going to end until the very end,” adding that “it’s possible it’s still not over.”

Does this mean that Hannah does just come back on night one? What if she comes back for the finale? Guess we’ll all have to wait and see!

The Bachelor season 24 premieres Monday, January 6 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC.
