At last, the news you’ve been hoping for — oh, and totally expecting — is official: Ben Flajnik will be the next Bachelor.
After weeks of predictions, rumors and source leaks, ABC has officially announced that the man who was spurned by last season’s Bachelorette, Ashley Hebert, will get his chance to wreak havoc on the hearts of 25 hopeful ladies.
Is this news a surprise? Absolutely not. Is it welcome? Let’s just say we’re going to be counting down the days until the January 2012 season premiere.
