'The Bachelorette' season 15: Could Mike Johnson be the next bachelor? Fans sure think so after ABC's subtle hint

If Mike Johnson does become the bachelor, he will make history as the first black bachelor on the series.

Now that 'The Bachelorette' season 15 is left with just four suitors, we're approaching the finale soon. And with the 'Bachelor In Paradise' contestants revealed, it is now time to speculate who might be the next bachelor and it looks like we have a fan-favorite already. 

Taking a look back at Monday's episode, we witnessed a sad goodbye between Hannah Brown and Mike Johnson. While fans were disappointed, it was a known fact that he didn't make it all the way through with the spoilers going around. But it was a heartbreaking moment anyhow. 

Before we go any further, we had previously talked about how Johnson is a fan favorite and how everyone is rooting for him to become the next bachelor. Even Demi Lovato is crushing hard if you ask us. 

If Johnson does become the bachelor, he will make history as the first black bachelor on the series. The series will also come closer to having an older bachelor with women of the same age who will be vying for his heart. 

Leaving all that aside, the series recently bid adieu to the former Bachelorette contestant with a post on Twitter captioning it saying, "Mike brings a big smile to all of our faces. #TheBachelorette." 

In the 26 seconds video that was posted along with the tweet, it said, "Goodbye Mike, we will miss your smile" combined with moments from The Bachelorette featuring Johnson's smile. 

After looking at this video, fans who were already rooting for Johnson to be the next bachelor, speculate that this might be a subtle hint that ABC has dropped revealing that Johnson might be the next bachelor after all. 

"I feel as if this is a test. YES, ABC we want him as the next bachelor," a fan said on Twitter. Another fan chimed in and said, "Next bachelor!!! He's got charm, charisma, he's handsome, fun personality, etc... What's not to like?" 

Fans wondering whether ABC was testing their choices answered saying: "Is this a test? YES WE WOULD ALL LIKE IT IF MIKE WERE THE BACHELOR. I promise." 

"Mike the next bachlor he would make a great show what was done to him show or not was dupped you couldn't ask for a better honest loving caring gentleman girls get ready he ia a taker hands down(sic)" commented another fan.

Some fans also disclosed that one would not miss his smile if ABC just made him the next bachelor. With all the rooting going on for Johnson, we wouldn't be surprised if he does end up being the next bachelor. 

It would surely be a season that fans would love watching.
