Watch: Could Marquel Martin Be the Next "Bachelor?"

Could the next Bachelor be one of these three guys? Maybe!

Though Andi Dorfman's season of The Bachelorette has been "tame" compared to previous seasons, at least according to host Chris Harrison, a few of her former suitors have definitely captured the attention of Bachelor Nation, with many fans rooting for them to become ABC's next Bachelor.

E! News chatted with three of the most popular picks, Marquel, Marcus and Chris S., at the taping of tonight's Men Tell All special, and found out if they'd be interested in being the one to hand out roses next season...

"Am I opposed to it? Absolutely not," Marquel, who will next be seen on Bachelor in Paradise, said to us about possibly becoming the franchise's first African-American Bachelor. "That is something...to talk with my family about if I was afforded that opportunity. Obviously, right now I'm not thinking about that because I don't know if that's even an option."

And Chris S., the fan favorite farmer who was sent home with a broken heart in the most recent episode, told us that living in a small town in Iowa is the main reason he'd be interested in becoming the next Bachelor.

"How could you not be interested in that? Especially for me, in the situation I'm in, I live in a small town. it's kind of part of the reason I'm here," he explained. "I'm 32 and I haven't really met the person I'm looking for and it's hard to meet people…in a small town. So that alone makes it something I would be interested in."

But will he even need to do another TV show to find love after the Men Tell All special, during which an audience member came on stage and gave Chris her phone number! But will he call her? "I think I'm going to sleep on that one!"

To hear more from Chris, Marquel and Marcus, including if the latter two enjoyed their time on the upcoming spinoff Bachelor in Paradise, watch our interviews with the guys above!

Bachelor: Men Tell All airs tonight at 8 p.m. on ABC.
