Chris Harrison Says Bachelor Colton Underwood’s Season Is “Gut-Wrenching”

Get ready Bachelor Nation fans, because this upcoming season is about to be one crazy ride!

Colton Underwood’s season of The Bachelor is premiering next month, and if the trailer is any indication, it’s going to be an emotional rollercoaster.

According to Chris Harrison, who opened up to E! News about the new season, it’s going to be hard for viewers to watch Colton go through such tough times.

“Once you get to see him and know him, everyone is going to fall in love with him and really respect that he is so open, so vulnerable, so emotional,” he explained.

“It’s a pretty gut-wrenching, wild ride with him.”

He continued, “Is it the most dramatic? I don’t even really need to pump this season up that much because of what you’re about to see. I’m excited for everyone to get to see him for who he really is — the man.”

Colton competed on Becca Kufrin’s season of The Bachelorette and came in fourth place.

He then was a contestant on the most recent season of Bachelor in Paradise, but ended up finally ending things with his on-and-off fling, Tia Booth.

While many people have compared Colton to former Bachelor Sean Lowe, Chris revealed it’s not for the reason you may be thinking.

“Everyone thought they kind of knew Sean but didn’t really get to know him until his season. That’s the way it is for Colton,” he explained.

“Colton opens up and I think people are going to be blown away.”

Colton finished filming The Bachelor back in November and has been active on social media since wrapping the show.

In fact, he recently teased fans on Instagram with a photo of somebody who he covered with an emoji, but it ended up just being his buddy Blake Horstmann.
