13 Unlucky Men Who Have Missed Out On Being 'The Bachelor,' There Just Aren't Enough Seasons

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!

Daily Fun Lists

One of the most dreaded places on campus is the library. Nothing awesome ever happens here. Usually, the only reason you're here is because you've procrastinated so long that the library is the only place you'll actually get stuff done. It gives you this feeling of sadness and impending doom. You have no idea how this is going to go or how long you'll be here, but you do know it is about to be the most excruciating experiences yet. But it has to get done, so you drag yourself to the lovely library.

Deciding on a goal can be hard, unsure of what to change for this new year. A new goal for myself is to be happier and take care of myself more. I am a very driven person; so driven that I commit to a million and ten things.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.
