Ahead of ABC’s Season 22 premiere next month, Harrison, who has long hosted the dating program, shared his top five contenders to win over this season’s “Bachelor.” Despite rumors suggesting Becca Kufrin and Lauren Burnham are his final two, neither lady made it to Harrison’s list.

Speaking to People, Harrison named Kendall Long, a 26-year-old creative director from Los Angeles; Chelsea Roy, a 29-year-old retired model; Seinne Fleming, a 27-year-old Yale graduate; Bibiana Julian, 30-year-old executive assistant; and Bekah Martinez, a nanny with an undisclosed age, as his top picks.

“I’m really excited for Arie,” Harrison said of the upcoming season. “He is a really good man with a great family and great career. He has everything, but he’s missing one thing. And he really wants to meet that someone.”

While Harrison may have his heart set on one of the five women he selected to win Arie over, rumors suggest the former race car driver turned real estate mogul picked a different contestant as his winner.

Reality Steve, who has long been spoiling the results of “The Bachelor” and “The Bachelorette” before the episodes air, has named Rebecca “Becca” Kufrin, a 27-year-old account executive from Minneapolis, as Arie’s fiancée.

Arie’s runner-up is said to be Lauren Burnham, a 25-year-old from Dallas.

The blogger also revealed that evidence of Becca and Arie’s speculated post-show romance may have been leaked on social media a time or two since filming wrapped. Of course, this wouldn’t be the first time this has happened.

“The Bachelor” premieres Jan. 1 on ABC.
