5 Reasons We're Convinced ABC Has Secretly Cast Jason as the Next Bachelor

He might have come out of that limo and into the mansion relatively under the radar, but Jason Tartick [1] quickly won over the hearts of Becca and all of Bachelor Nation as the season progressed. Throughout his journey, we've seen him suavely navigate the muddy waters of drama, have the ability laugh at himself and the absurdity of it all, and put his heart on the line as he opened up and fell in love.

Watching Jason get sent home wasn't easy, but it did reveal what we suspected all along: that he's a man of strength and character. All these traits we've just listed are reasons we think he'd make an incredible Bachelor. Ahead are a few more reasons we think ABC might just crown him as such!

He's in Makeover Mode

Ummm, have y'all seen the newly surfaced pictures of Jason with a new hairdo? The dude's already in makeover mode, which is something we've seen other leads do before they're eventually revealed by ABC as The Bachelor [2] or The Bachelorette [3].

He's a Superdesirable Partner

Let's take a second to talk about Jason as a potential mate. He has a successful career as a corporate banker, possesses a strong sense of himself, has a solid group of friends, is charitable, is living life to the fullest, and apparently is an incredible kisser. Also, he's approaching 30, at that stage in his life where he's serious about finding partner, and clearly isn't trying to simply fill some hole with fame or a random person.

Moreover, he's not afraid to speak his mind. We need a bachelor who can communicate what he's thinking in a sincere way, similar to how Becca has. Jason has proven he can do that over and over again throughout the season. Not only does he keep it real, but he's funny, insightful, and just fun to listen to.

Bachelor Nation Is on Board

Fans of the show have been pulling for Jason to be the next Bachelor for weeks now, but after this week's elimination, the pleas and cheers have grown infinitely louder. His Instagram account is ablaze with comments, Twitter users (including former Bachelor and Bachelorette cast members) are begging [4] for ABC to crown him the lead, and even Colton Underwood [5] is rooting for him!

He Believes in the Process

He clearly let himself be vulnerable this season by opening up and falling in love with Becca. This show is no fun for the viewer when you suspect someone's just in it for the limelight, "playing a role," or unable to loosen up. We've had that happen with so many other Bachelors in the past, and we'd like to steer clear of another season where that's the case.

In a recent interview with Glamour, he said he'd totally sign up for the lead role [6] because of how much he believes in the process. "The experience is incredible. The producers, the relationships with the cast, the production, it exceeded everything I could have asked for, and because of that, I would be more than open if that opportunity presented itself," he said.

He's Unlike Any Other Bachelor We've Seen

We know that Colton is also another potential candidate for the Bachelor lead, but TBH, we're just not feeling it — and neither are a lot of other viewers. Sure, he's a looker with an adorable pooch [7], but his entire time on the show felt scripted and forced. We are canceling the Tia and Colton/Colton and His Virginity storylines and have our fingers crossed for a season that's just fresher.

And you know precisely who can offer something fresh? Jason, with his goofy "I'll try anything once" spirit and authenticity. #TeamJasonForBachelor
