Bachelor Nation, Chris Harrison, even that random superfan on Twitter — they’re all biting their nails to the quick waiting to hear who will be the next Bachelor.

We know who the top contenders are — Ali Fedotowsky’s ex-fiance Roberto Martinez, and Emily Maynard’s exes Arie Luyendyk, Jr. and Sean Lowe. So far, Roberto has been coyly tight-lipped on the topic, but both Sean and Arie have suggested that they would potentially be open to slinging roses in January — but which one will it be and when will they make the announcement?

According to showrunner Mike Fleiss’s tweet, The Bachelor powers-that-be are “Hoping to make The Decision this week,” adding, “Not as simple as you might think.” Well, naturally it’s not a simple decision — how can one choose between Hot, Hottie and Hottest?
