Nick Viall is one on the most controversial and talked about Bachelors. He is the only person in Bachelor history who has ever been on every show in the franchise. Along his journey, we have seen him rejected … multiple times. We watched as he crashed Kaitlyn Bristowe’s season and created his own fantasy suite.

Finally, we watched this summer as he charmed his way back into fans’ hearts, as he tried to find love again in paradise. It’s safe to stay that Nick has had a lot of practice in the finding love department, but can he find a love that lasts? This season of The Bachelor will hopefully be the answer he is looking for, but is the potential there?

Our 3 Favorite Bachelor Contestants:

1) Shark/Dolphin Girl

Shark/Dolphin arrives Katy Perry left shark-style claiming that she is a dolphin. Although she leaves us and the rest of the America highly confused, she has some potential with her outgoing and memorable personality. We don’t think she will be a frontrunner but definitely one to watch.

2) Corinne

The second is Corinne. We’re all for the gimmicky entrances, and, trust me, there are a lot of them, but Corinne arrives with a little token for Nick to cash in at some point throughout the night. Seems innocent, right? That’s what we thought, too. We think Corinne is going to make her mark early, and, if she doesn’t, watch out — she could be the girl we all love to hate.

3) Girl With Mystery Baggage

Lastly, there is a secret hidden among the contestants. We all know a lot about Nick’s love life, but do we really know everything? How will this secret put a new spin on Nick’s journey for love?

Watch a sneak preview of the premiere below:

Things are definitely going to heat up in Bachelor Mansion this season. Nick may even finally find the love of his life, or is it possible to end up runner-up again? All we know is that we are in for a good time. Tune in to ABC on Monday, January 2 at 8/7c!
