Caila Quinn Joining ‘The Bachelor’ 2017 Cast? Nick Viall Says Caila Is ‘Good Looking,’ But Is She Looking For Love Or Fame?

Caila Quinn hasn’t had much luck finding love on TV, but is the third time a charm for the blogger and BollyX Fitness instructor? Now that Caila is over her heartbreak with Bachelor Ben Higgins and has moved on from her brief Bachelor in Paradise-inspired relationship with Jared Haibon, is it possible that she is headed back to the Bachelor mansion to try to win Nick Viall’s final rose?

During a recent interview with People magazine, Chris Harrison revealed that fans could see a few “franchise favorites” on Nick’s season. Although Chris didn’t drop any names, blogger Reality Steve backed up the long-time Bachelor host, stating that “someone, if not a couple” of girls from a past season of the ABC’s reality TV series will be part of the Season 21 cast.

Now that the word is out that we’ll see some familiar faces when the Bachelor premieres on January 2, there is a buzz about which girl or girls will return to the mansion for a second time. Although there are several girls’ names making their way through the online rumor mills, Caila Quinn seems to have an edge over other past contestants, including another girl from Ben’s season — Olivia Caridi.

Fans who watched Bachelor in Paradise this summer may remember Nick’s reaction when Caila arrived in Paradise. He was already partnered up with Jen Saviano, so he didn’t go on a date with Caila, but he said on camera, “Damn, she is good looking” so perhaps he wouldn’t be disappointed if she joined his season. (Watch the video clip below if you need a refresher.)

Although Caila told Us Weekly that her “heart needs a break” after briefly dating Jared Haibon, there is no doubt that she’s a prime candidate to appear on the upcoming season of the Bachelor. And when it comes to taking a break from finding love in the Bachelor world, it’s brief — as in hearts heal twice as fast when you’re offered a new gig. Just ask JoJo Fletcher.

The folks at E! News think that nothing happened between Nick and Caila in Paradise because Nick was already with Jen, but now that he’s single and ready to mingle in the Bachelor mansion, bringing her on the upcoming season of the Bachelor makes sense.

“Sure, they spent a few weeks together on Bachelor in Paradise and nothing happened, but that’s only because Caila was wrapped up in Jared (and the Ashley drama) and Nick was wrapped up in Amanda, Josh, and Jen… Caila’s been burned before by losing out on the Bachelorette gig, so maybe this could make up for it?”

However, is Caila really looking for love or would she just like to get back in front of the camera?

According to a report from OK Here’s the Situation, Caila is “not at all interested” in getting into a relationship, but is very interested in “getting in front of the camera.”

Think about it – if she fails to find love with Nick, but makes it to the final four, she may get another shot at becoming the next Bachelorette. Or, at the very least, she could head back to Paradise next summer. Jared Haibon tells Glamour magazine that he will never go back on Bachelor in Paradise again, so Caila wouldn’t be distracted by her ex-boyfriend.

According to a previous report from the Inquisitr, the names and photos of four girls who will appear on Nick’s season have surfaced online. So far, Caila has not been confirmed for the show, but filming for the show starts on Friday, so fans can expect to see more names spoiled in the coming weeks.

As far as the girls from previous seasons who will appear on Season 21 of the Bachelor, it won’t be long before Reality Steve finds out if Caila Quinn — and other Bachelor alums — will join the cast and try to win Nick’s first impression rose, his heart, or simply more time in the spotlight.
