What Ben Z.'s 'Bachelor' Season Would Look Like

by Maggie Malach

Fan reactions were bittersweet when Ben Z. was eliminated from Season 11 of The Bachelorette. Not only was the entrepreneur insanely likable, but he had clear chemistry with Kaitlyn Bristowe. While we won't see him again until the "Men Tell All" special, Bachelor Nation can rest easy knowing that he's a Chris Harrison-approved candidated for the next season of The Bachelor. I'm imagining what a Ben Z. season of The Bachelor looks like, and, I gotta admit, it looks pretty good.

There's strict method to choosing the lucky Bachelor and Bachelorettes. They traditionally are a fan favorite contestant, hand-picked to date 25 of their own suitors. Of course, this season of The Bachelorette messed with that formula, starting off with two ladies and making the men choose. That said, both Bristowe and Britt Nilsson were popular contestants during Chris Soules' season of The Bachelor. Soules, of course, charmed viewers before being eliminated by Bachelorette Andi Dorfman. Dorfman, on the other hand, gained popularity for walking out on Juan Pablo Galavis. And so it goes.

Ben Z. has all of the liability necessary for a good season. After Soules' sweet but dull season, and Galavis' cringe-worthy stint as the Bachelor, female fans are ready for a good guy who will keep things interesting. Ben Z. has my vote for the next bachelor, and, if he is chosen, here are seven things we can expect.

1. He'll Pour His Heart Out

Ben pretty much swept America off their feet when he opened up to Bristowe.

2. A Sense Of Adventure

In his Bachelorette application, Ben admitted, "I can honestly say I’m working on [being more outrageous]. I've only recently started to be more outgoing; I used to be pretty reserved or calculated, and I’m excited to do more things!" Bring it on!

3. Seriously Inspirational Moments

Just take a look at his Twitter.

4. Less Snakes

Remember that creepy date he and Bristowe went on? SHUDDER.

5. Muscles, Muscles, Muscles

I mean...

6. Nothin' But Class

When Bristowe eliminated Ben Z., he handled it with such grace.

7. Hopefully More Rap Battles

Proof that Ben Z. has the edge I want in a bachelor. Seriously, can we give Ben Z. his own season already? I'm ready to watch it just from talking about it.
