In This Article:

After the not-so-shocking announcement of the next bachelor, people have been debating who actually deserved to be Bachelor. There were talks of a lot of different men to be the next bachelor: Jason, Blake, Joe, Peter and, of course, Colton Underwood, who ended up getting the position.

This poses the question, who else has missed the opportunity to be the bachelor by just a hair. Every season, there a couple of fan-favorites that everyone petitions to be the bachelor. Every season there are one or two men who we love, but Chris Harrison looks straight past.

Here a look back at men from the past few seasons that could've should've would've been the bachelor.

Mike Johnson

Mike seemed like the PERFECT pick, but Pilot Peter Weber ultimately got the gig.

2. Jason Tartick 

Jason is the ultimate heartbreak that everyone is going through now that they have declared Colton the next bachelor.

3. Blake Horstmann

Another guy from Becca's season that was a huge fan-favorite.

4. Luke Pell

Luke was JoJo's soulmate, but things turned sour for him when he went on "Bachelor Winter Games."

5. Peter Kraus

Peter was the runner-up on Rachel's season and a huge favorite. However, we haven't seen any more of him since his bachelorette season.

6. Eric Bigger 

Eric, another favorite from Rachel's season, had a couple chances on BIP and "Winter Games."

7. Wills Reid

A favorite from Becca's season that made it on BIP for a short period of time.

8. Dean Unglert

An adorable smile that just can't seem to keep a relationship. He never made it to be the bachelor, but he was a full-time BIP contestant.

9. Wells Adams

Wells may not have been bachelor, but he got Sarah Hyland. So, he wins.

10. Jared Haibon

Before Ashley I., Jared was the favorite on Kaitlyn's season. Two BIP seasons later, he found love with his soulmate.

11. Joe Bailey

The biggest shock was this bachelor-favorite turning evil on BIP.

12. Chase McNary

Chase has slowly excluded himself from bachelor nation, but we can't forget how much we loved him on his season.

13. Grocery Store Joe

I saved the best for last. The one who didn't make it past the first day, but still stole America's heart!

Things I Am Actually Going To Do This Semester

Or at least try to do.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
