"No, I don't want to be on this show," a man can be heard saying in a January extended trailer of The Bachelor season. "I'm here to get her back. I'm here to tell her that I want to marry her."
"It has just blown my mind that he's here," Arie vents to the cameras. "It's upsetting. Right now, I'm angry. I'm angry that he's here, and I've had my heart ripped open, and I don't know how this is going to end."

Becca told Arie it was difficult to leave the tumultuous romance in her past because he had helped her get through the difficult days following her beloved father's passing. Becca, however, insisted to Arie she was over that guy and ready to move forward with her life.
So who is Ross? Becca's ex currently works as a sports performance coach for the Stanford University football team.
Ross will appear on The Bachelor during the season's final days in Peru, just before the final Rose Ceremony.
