Chris Harrison has revealed when and where The Bachelor fans can expect ABC to disclose who will serve as the star of Season 20.

On the debut of After Paradise, the network's new show that follows Monday night broadcasts of Bachelor in Paradise 2, Harrison told the audience, "I will share this with you. We might be making this announcement very soon on this show in the coming weeks."
Harrison added producers are "on the verge" of making The Bachelor decision."
Based on the show host's comments and questions, the men in the running for the leading role are officially Ben Higgins and Nick Viall, with maybe Ben Zorn and Jared Haibon thrown into the mix as well. Harrison wanted to hear from fans which guy they're most into.
Thousands of tweets poured in and people were apparently "loving or hating Nick" and "pushing for the Bens." One individual tweeted, "Ben H for president," while another couldn't believe the topic is "still up for debate" because it has to be Higgins.

Harrison asked his After Paradise co-host Jenny Mollen if anyone was talking about Viall.
Mollen replied with a tweet from a girl who claimed she'd "jump up and down and get giddy in the broom closet" if Viall was selected as the next Bachelor. The audience booed, but then Iaconetti stood up for Viall by saying she totally understands his appeal, as she sat next to him at an event and he gave off this "sexy" vibe with a great-smelling cologne.
Harrison, however, previously told Reality TV World that Viall wouldn't make a great Bachelor simply because there are better choices out there.
