Ok, now that it's been announced that Chris Soules is officially the 2015 "Bachelor,' everyone wants to know what 25 women will compete for his love and that final rose. TV blogger Reality Steve claims to already have the scoop on some of the women who will appear on the ABC dating show.
"As for some of Chris' girls, I do have a good idea of who a few of them are already, but I'm holding off until we get closer to filming. Like I do every year, I usually don't like revealing too many before they leave, but there's a chance I could release a few of them," the site wrote on Tuesday, Aug. 26, the day before ABC's announcement. "I released 5 of Juan Pablo's girls a week before they even left for filming. I'll make the call as we get closer to them leaving for filming."
Reality Steve said he's not certain on the exact date of filming but thinks it will be begin the week of Sept. 15. That means the site could start releasing the names of contestants in about two weeks.
While we don't know who will be vying for Soules' affection, there are some very interesting things to point out about his season. The 32-year-old Iowa native is from a really small farming town and is extremely close to his family.
Some fans have already pointed out that it might be harder for ABC to find women to come on the show because of where he lives. Check out some of the reactions below:
"Watching 25 women competing to move to an Iowa soybean farm is gonna make gripping TV @GMA," @BrandyZadrozny tweeted.
"Farmer Chris @C_Soules is the new #Bachelor. Where are the 20 women would be willing to move to Iowa? (No offense, Iowa)," @hbludman posted.
"Farmer Chris is the new bachelor. How many women will fight for an isolated, stressful life on the farm?" @prairietubby tweeted.
Granted, Soules is handsome, sweet and romantic and he quickly became a fan-favorite on Andi Dorfman's season of "The Bachelorette," but those concerns do bring up a valid point: Would a city-living, career-driven woman be willing to trade her life for a small farming town?
Bustle pointed out that Dorfman herself had a few concerns about leaving the city and her career behind to live on a farm during her hometown date with Soules. When she asked him what she would do if she moved to Iowa, Soules responded "there's an opportunity for a homemaker."
The former district attorney didn't say a word but nodded her head.
"I wonder if this will limit the types of contestants ABC is looking to cast. Will women with demanding careers not be considered an ideal mate? Will producers ask contestants if they're willing to live on a farm? Willing to relocate to a town with the population of 800? Willing to have dinner on the table by 6?" Bustle wrote.
What do you think? Will ABC have a hard time finding women willing to trade their careers for life on the farm?
