‘The Bachelor’ – Premiere: Ben Higgins

Ever since Bachelor In Paradise came to a dramatic close (don't they all?), there has been a void in my life.

Tonight, that void is finally getting the filling that it needs with the return of The Bachelor.

Kaitlyn Bristowe's second runner up, Ben Higgins, ("The Perfect Ben") will be in charge of handing out the roses to 28 beautifully eligible women.

Prepare for tonight's premiere (7pm - ABC) by meeting the new women in Higgins' life.

And, in the meantime, enjoy today's forecast:
