ABC has not officially announced the name of the next Bachelor. However, Eureka, Missouri is celebrating this week.  They’ve gone all out to welcome and honor The Bachelor Clayton Echard. Word got out that filming was taking place for his intro video in Eureka. This sent Bachelor Nation into a frenzy trying to learn more about the man that nobody has met yet. He will be introduced to the world during Michelle Young’s season of The Bachelorette. However, with filming set to begin within a few weeks, ABC will most likely be making that official announcement soon.
