Could Chris Harrison be angling for a return to Bachelor Nation??
The longtime tv host was booted again in June 2021 after his tone-deaf interplay about race throughout an notorious interview with former Bachelorette Rachel Lindsay. But judging by new remarks that he made on a podcast this week, it seems like he’s open to accepting the present’s rose once more!! That is if producers even needed handy one out to him…

So, the 51-year-old tv persona has been internet hosting his personal podcast these days. The Texas-born former actuality TV love facilitator has a really applicable title for the weekly audio present, too: The Most Dramatic Podcast Ever. Aptly titled contemplating his (former) line of labor!!!
This week on his most up-to-date ep, the Dallas native supplied up some VERY alternative ideas about his profession! Speaking to co-host Tori Spelling about what the long run might maintain for him in TV, Harrison surprisingly hinted that there could also be a reunion on the horizon with ABC execs and Bachelor Nation producers. REALLY???
He began out by saying:
“I live by the axiom never say never because in life and business, that comes back to bite you in the butt.”
Well, that’s simply good recommendation. In most instances, you by no means know what may occur sooner or later. So it’s by no means a foul factor not to shut (most) doorways. Life recommendation, y’all!
When pressed about whether or not that will imply he’d ever return to Bachelor Nation internet hosting duties, Chris mentioned:
“Would I have that conversation? Yes. I also believe in relationships and in business, take the phone call and you listen and you have that conversation, whether it’s uncomfortable or not.”
Interesting! Of course, who wouldn’t take that dialog. Ya know? Chris discovered fame and fortune on The Bachelor. For years, he was beloved by followers and viewers. It all ended so abruptly, and so controversially, that it will make sense to listen to he’s open to a comeback now that the mud has settled. But it doesn’t imply s**t if ABC isn’t up for it, proper??
Well…
When Spelling requested if the TV community could be up for crossing that bridge, Chris instructed execs could possibly be having inside discussions about his return. Ummm that’s a shock! And it will actually be one thing if it seems to be true!!
He mentioned:
“With the advent of this podcast, they’ve seen the numbers. They’ve seen the response in my social media. They’re not deaf to all of that. They’ve seen what’s happening, so am I shocked these conversations are happening? No. It would not be a surprise. In fact, I would be shocked if they aren’t happening.”
Whoa!!
Of course, the present has gone by way of a sequence of hosts since Chris’ 2021 departure amid the notorious Rachael Kirkconnell plantation celebration controversy. Former soccer star Emmanuel Acho hosted Matt James‘ After The Final Rose particular that season. Then, he gave strategy to Tayshia Adams and Kaitlyn Bristowe, who stepped as much as co-host The Bachelorette after Harrison bought booted.
Jesse Palmer was then tabbed because the present’s everlasting alternative. He’s efficiently helming Zach Shallcross‘ season 27 of The Bachelor that’s airing weekly proper now. But maybe Harrison is holding out hope for a comeback??

Reunion or not, Chris seemed again on his 20 years of internet hosting Bachelor Nation reveals. He tossed out a little bit of shade, too, asserting issues have modified on the sequence since his departure:
“I will always be grateful for that in my life. It changed my life. It changed my kids’ lives. I still have a lot of friends working on the show — people I really care about. I loved my time. Not all of it, it was still a job. But overall, it was amazing. It was an incredible experience. Did it change? Yes. And was it the same in the last several years? No, it was not. I was contemplating when it was going to be time.”
Hmmm…
What do U make of those feedback, Perezcious readers? Is Chris simply being overly optimistic a few potential return — whereas drawing a ton of recent consideration to his podcast?! Or may there really be one thing larger happening behind the scenes right here, and he’s floating a proverbial trial balloon whereas lobbying for his outdated job again??
Sound OFF together with your ideas down within the feedback (under)!
