Stats: 29 years old, a former software salesman and the founder of Generous Coffee Co. Arguably one of the most popular Bachelors ever, he left The Bachelor Winter Games because he was still not ready to move on after his split with Lauren Bushnell.
Pros: Does anyone have a better reputation in Bachelor Nation? Beloved by producers, fans and contestants, Ben is basically the franchise's poster boy. Despite his season airing over two years ago, he's still as popular as ever, amassing 1.4 million Instagram followers and his break-up with Lauren was 2017's most Googled celebrity split. So yeah, he's popular. But is he willing?
"It was a good experience for me," Higgins told E! News of his last outing. "Doing a second round of The Bachelor seems overwhelming, seem daunting…I don't think I'm ready for that right now. I don't know what's next. I don't want to ever say no to anything."
Cons: Is Ben almost too involved with Bachelor Nation lately? He's currently hosting a podcast about the franchise with Ashley Iaconetti, is friends with a lot of the stars and still feels so tied to his experience during his initial run as the Bach that he might need more time before stepping back into the lead role. We still love ya, Ben!
