Peter Weber met the 30 women vying for his heart in Week 1 of The Bachelor last Monday, and he sent eight women home in the first Rose Ceremony. Former Bachelorette Hannah Brown stunned the other contestants by making a surprise return, and Peter offered Hannah a place on his cast if she’s willing to join. Which contestant is poised to go all the way, and who is the perfect pick to become the next Bachelorette? FTW’s Bachelor experts Nick Schwartz and Marissa Kasner made their picks after one episode:
Marissa: Peter won’t be able to top his connection with Hannah B.
The two-hour Bachelor finale will air on Monday, March 15, followed by the After the Final Rose special. Stay up-to-date on every breaking Bachelor Nation story by subscribing here. Some fans, though, have been wondering why he felt it necessary to get involved at all, and a few have suggested that it's because Kirkconnell actually goes on to win this season of The Bachelor.

Peter told us before the season even started that “there’s a reason no one is going to find out the ending,” which is leaving many to speculate he’s yet to make a selection and it could be Hannah B. (Ashley I has a pretty plausible theory.) I’m drinking this kool-aid. As soon as I heard him claim no one will know the ending I suspected he hadn’t made a choice.
But after rekindling that chemistry week one, even though she definitely doesn’t move back into the mansion, I suspect Peter gets to the end, searches his soul and find his heart is still with 4-time windmill Hannah. What else could possibly make him say “that last week was the hardest week of my entire life” and his mom say “go get our girl.”

Although I am on record saying I want the traditional happily ever after, I’m now here for Hannah B & Peter sitting in a tree.
Nick: Victoria P. is going to dominate this season
Disclaimer: If Peter makes the wrong choice and doesn’t offer Victoria P. his Final Rose, she’s a slam-dunk pick to be the next Bachelorette. She’s got an incredibly compelling backstory, and she just exudes the TV it-factor that ABC could bank on.
That being said, from the moment Peter excused himself from a conversation with Victoria to pick her flowers from outside the hotel, she became the leader in the clubhouse. His infatuation with Kelley will fade, Hannah Ann and Madison could make runs into the Final Four, but I’m betting this season ends with Peter popping the question to Vicky P.
Marissa: We’re getting back-to-back Alabama Bachelorettes
Who I WANT to be the next Bachelorette (based on what we’ve seen) and who likely will be feel so very far apart. It likely will be Madison. Her heart will be broken after going all the way to the final two, she’ll have won over America, she’ll be the Bachelorette.
Fortunately, there is an easier way if you want to know more about how to count cards. It’s a system that assigns the following values to certain cards. Playing cards between two and six are given the value of 1. Cards of ten and above, including the Ace, are given the value of -1. In Blackjack, it is favorable to the player when there are more Aces and 10 Value Cards (10’s, Jacks, Queens, and Kings) remaining in the shoe. So card counting is simply using a system to keep track of the ratio of low cards to high cards. Step 1: Assign A Value To Every Card. In fact, if you remove any significant number of small cards from the shoe, blackjack not only becomes easier, the player gets a mathematical edge over the house. This is where card counting comes in. Counters track the proportion of small cards to face cards and aces. How to count cards in blackjack pdf. Essentially, counting cards in blackjack involves assigning values to every card dealt out. By keeping a running count, you can assess whether the cards still to come will be high value or low value. The player continues to add to the count for every card dealt, including the dealer’s cards. The higher the running count, the more you bet.
Conversely, I adore Victoria P., Alexa seems super interesting, and playing-by-the-rules Tammy could really use the lead role as a further try-out for her very own HGTV show.
Nick: It’s time to make Bachelorette history and bring back a repeat Bachelorette
Look, I know this probably isn’t going to happen, but it absolutely should. I suspect Hannah B. will decline Peter’s invitation to join the show (which probably would have been impossible given her Dancing With The Stars obligations at the time of filming), Peter will fall in love again, and Hannah B. may show up in Paradise. That’s not good enough.
Hannah Brown needs to be the next Bachelorette. She was robbed of a happy ending by the overwhelming destructive force that was Luke P., who poisoned the show and derailed Hannah’s relationships with other guys.
Why not give Hannah B. a second third fourth chance at love? She’s a beloved member of the Bachelor universe, and her success on DWTS means she has even more crossover appeal to potential viewers. Get a few of the sane guys from her season (let’s say Peter, Tyler C., and Garrett) to screen the cast members to eliminate and Luke P.-esque crazies and hopefully guarantee a happy ending. Who says no?!

Caution: Massive spoiler ahead. After some major sleuthing, fans believe Rachael Kirkconnell wins Matt James' season of The Bachelor. Why, you ask? Well, they have some evidence and, TBH, it's pretty convincing.
On Jan. 17, the Instagram account @bachsleuthers posted a screenshot that revealed James appeared to be listening to Kirkconnell's playlist 'night drive' on Spotify. They posted the screenshot along with a picture of James and captioned it:
⚠️ potential spoiler ahead ⚠️⠀Did Spotify spoil the season? Swipe to the right to see and let us know: F1 or does Matt just like her taste in music? ?
I also feel like it's important for me to note that I listened to the playlist and it definitely has an extremely sexy vibe to it. (Lots of Flume and Charli XCX. Kendrick Lamar and Troye Sivan are on there, too.)
Now, obviously, I don't know why James was listening to the playlist. Maybe producers of The Bachelor thought it would stir up some drama. Maybe he just likes Kirkconnell's taste in music. Maybe they're just friends.
But, if I'm being honest, I really don't think most people would just casually be listening to their ex's sexy Spotify playlist. This feels kind of relationship-y to me.
ICYMI: Kirkconnell is the contestant on James' season who teared up when he kicked off their first cocktail party with a prayer. She also received a rose during a group date that aired on Jan. 18.
According to her ABC profile, she's a major romantic:
With beautiful eyes and personality to match, Rachael is a southern sweetheart with a close-knit family. Though Rachael says she is a hopeless romantic to her core, she has never been in love and believes that Matt may just be the guy to change that. Rachael is hoping that her love story will be something huge and life altering. She wants to look back on her life when she's old and feel like she has made the absolute most out of every single day. Nothing makes her happier than a good movie, good wine and charcuterie boards. Rachael needs a man who will make every day with her something to tell their future children about and says, 'At the end of the day, love is what makes your life more special than others. Life can be hard and really difficult and dark at times, but if you have someone by your side that loves you more than they love themselves, that makes it all worth it in the end.'
Some other fun facts about her? Per ABC:
- Rachael's favorite way to pass the time is by doodling.
- Rachael is very neat with organization and cleanliness, and messy with plans and schedule.

- Rachael hates slow drivers!

So, I think it's safe to bet James was driving fast on that weekend Night Drive.
