Peter Weber
After Weber was left brokenhearted when Brown broke up with him on Monday’s part one of the season finale, devoted fans ramped up their impassioned pleas on social media that the charming pilot become the new Bachelor.
And Weber told PEOPLE he’d definitely be on board to give out roses next time around if asked.
“I know this whole situation didn’t work out the way I was hoping, but Hannah truly showed me a different love than I had ever felt,” he told PEOPLE exclusively. “So it’s given me hope that I have more love to find. I wouldn’t say no to trying it again because I know the experience works. And I’m hopeful that my person is right around the corner.”
Tyler Cameron
Runner-up Cameron was a fan-favorite from the start of the season, with viewers swooning over his good looks and genuine personality.
Throughout the season, Cameron wasoutspoken in his defense of Brownas she fell victim to slut-shaming on social media — only making fans fall in love with him even more. After she was accused of “dry-humping” all of her contestants, Cameron tweeted, “let our Queen live and let’s embrace her on this journey.”
And when Brownsparred with Luke Parker, this season’smost controversial contestant, on Twitter after hiselimination, Cameronhad her back. “Let him know! You are so damn powerful Hannah,” he tweeted. “You move mountains!”
During the live, in-studio portion of theBachelorettefinaleon Tuesday night, Cameron continued to win over the hearts ofBachelorNation — and Brown.
While Brown and Cameron reunited for the first time on stage following her split withex-fiancé Jed Wyatt, it was evident that the pair still had feelings for one another. Brown boldly asked Cameron out on a date, and he happily agreed.
But, if that drink between the two doesn’t happen, Cameron could be a candidate for ABC’s next leading man.
