Bachelor Nation is buzzing with speculation - will Hannah Brown return as the next lead on The Bachelorette? Host and producer Chris Harrison hinted that she could be because "she's a train wreck."
After a brutal conclusion to her own sort of fairy tale, Brown is back on the market again. At first, it seemed like she was going to be part of the craziness that is season 24 of The Bachelor, but now it's looking like Brown might have another fifteen minutes of fame in the making. Harrison says that Brown's relatability is what makes people love her, saying, "I think the things that make us love her so much - and I’m included in that and adore her - is she is so open and honest..."
In an interview with Us Weekly, Harrison explained that anything was possible for the next season of The Bachelorette and that he wasn't "...against [Brown being the next Bachelorette]." He went on to say “ You get to see the good, the bad and the ugly in Hannah and that’s a rare thing in any human being.” Between Brown's appearances during the season premiere of The Bachelor and her rocky past with Pilot Pete, seeing her return to the show for another shot at love wouldn't be completely shocking.
Despite Harrison's willingness to let Brown back into the mansion with 30-some men, he says it's really up to Bachelor Nation to decide. He recognizes that people "embrace [Hannah's personality] and relate to it," but he's not sure whether or not fans will want to see her go through the process of finding love all over again.
It doesn't seem like fans will be too shocked to see Brown make a comeback on the next season of The Bachelorette. She's already made it clear that she still has very real feelings for Weber during the first and second episodes of season 24. “It’s just something that organically happened and then it scared the hell out of all of us because the show might end,” Harrison said in his interview. As a producer, he grappled with whether or not crews should be filming at the time this was going on, but they continued to do so because that's what Harrison feels "is what makes Hannah and Peter so lovable and so likable.”
Weber and Brown both found it difficult to see each other during the season premiere of The Bachelor, but ultimately it looks like Weber is willing to start fresh with one of the other women trying to win his affection. Fans will have to wait for the season 24 finale to see if Weber is really ready to move on or if he'll fall back into Brown's arms.
The Bachelor airs Mondays at 8pm EST on ABC.
