According to Us, ABC believes the 28-year-old winemaker from Sonoma, CA has the makings of a successful Bachelor because he was a fan favorite during his The Bachelorette edition.
"They think he'll be ratings gold," a source told Us. "His [August 6] date with Jennifer Love Hewitt was icing on the cake!"
In addition to Flajnik, fellow former seventh-season The Bachelorette bachelors Ryan Park and Ames Brown were also under consideration for The Bachelor role, according to previous reports.
