‘The Bachelor’ spoilers: Is filming for Ben Higgins’ season complete?

Has the eagle landed on this season of “The Bachelor“? If we were to guess based on evidence, and also the history from past seasons, we’d be willing to wager that the answer here is “yes.”

Of course, the biggest bit of evidence that we have to report on this simple fact now is the mere fact now that the show’s leading man has returned to Twitter! Ben Higgins has tweeted with some frequency over the past several days, responding to many fans of the show. Before that, he really had not been on since September, when the show was starting up production. Therefore, it’s safe to say that he now gets a chance to unwind from a hectic two months with Thanksgiving, family time, and probably some enormous secret that he has to try to keep … even though the winner has more than likely already been spoiled. That’s how this season works.

For the record, we’re keeping the same spoiler pattern for this upcoming season as in years past: We’re going to keep this a spoiler-free zone, mostly because we subscribe to the belief that there are some people out there who really do not want to know what happens along the way. Plus, there are plenty of other places to go for that.

“The Bachelor” premieres on January 4, and for the most part you can expect a whole lot more of the same stuff we’ve come to know from this show very well: Romance, drama, silly moments, and completely overhyped twists that don’t really pan out.
