The Bachelor: Everything We Know About the Upcoming Season With Nick Viall

Every time a season of The Bachelorette ends, I just start counting down the time until The Bachelor. Sure, there's always Bachelor in Paradise, but as any fan will tell you, that show has a completely different vibe. Season 21 is about to kick off, and details have slowly been revealed over the past few months. Here's what we know about the upcoming episodes!

Viall has long been a presence in Bachelor Nation, and now it's his turn to be the Bachelor. He's already dated four women on TV, so if he doesn't find love this time around, the rest of us are doomed.

The women seeking to steal Nick's heart include an aspiring dolphin trainer, a doula, a pro basketball dancer, and a food truck owner.

Producer Mike Fleiss cataloged all the behind-the-scenes action from the first night of shooting on Sept. 24. Thanks to him, we know that resident diamond expert Neil Lane was on the set (a little early for him, no?) and that one girl was already wearing a wedding veil. As always, helicopters are involved.

In November, InTouch reported that several of the girls asked to leave the show. "They find him to be completely arrogant and a total diva," their insider said. "A lot of the girls think Nick isn't taking the process seriously, that he only became The Bachelor to hook up with multiple women . . . Nick sheds many tears this season and it's due to the fact that the girls pretty much turn on him. There will be explosive fights — and Nick will once again look like a fool."

On Dec. 28, Nick revealed to People that he developed "strong feelings for multiple women." Uh oh. "Early on with so many women, you obviously don't know a lot of things about them but talking to all of them and wanting to make it meaningful to all of them is very physically taxing."

It look them long enough! ABC has unveiled an official Fantasy League for Bachelor fans. Now you can show off your prediction skills!

Season 21 will begin on Jan. 2. Happy New Year to us all!
