Recently, the man of the hour has been confirmed for the upcoming season of 'The Bachelor', and it turns out that it's a familiar face. Fans will recognize Chris Soules on Season 19 of the hit reality show, as he had appeared on 'The Bachelorette' on which men were questing for Andi Dorfman's heart.

The 19^th season of 'The Bachelor' will start airing on January 5, 2015. Its first announcement was made at the Country Music Awards, where fans saw a commercial of Chris Soules walking through a cornfield, and hearing all the potential female candidates calling out to him.

Moreover, the producers promised the viewers some new exotic locations this season, as they mentioned the location of Bali, where Chris is expected to take the final girls for their final chance to prove that they are the perfect match for him.

A reason fans will look forward to this new season in particular, is that Soules stirred up a bit of a controversy recently, as he allegedly took a photo with one of the Season 19 contestants.

Sources say that Soules allegedly took a photo with Jade Roper, who's set to appear on the show, possibly signalling that she's getting an unfair advantage over some of the other women.

According to Reality Steve, Roper is going to be one of the four finalists, but only time and segments of 'The Bachelor' Season 19 will tell whether that is true or not.

Fans of the show are looking forward to seeing how everything turns out for Chris Soules this season. Unfortunately, he was not chosen by Andi Dorfman when he appeared on 'The Bachelorette', but he was one of the finalist.

This time around, Soules gets to choose the woman he wants to spend the rest of his life with. Hopefully, fans will get the chance to see the on air proposal that is sure to warm the hearts of anyone watching.
