It looks like Bachelor Nation is about to fly the friendly skies with Peter Weber<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

As the powers that be on set of The Bachelor<\/em> continue narrowing their search for Season 24’s lead, E! News can report that the one and only Pilot Pete (as he became affectionately known on Hannah Brown<\/a><\/strong>‘s season of The Bachelorette<\/em>) will most likely fill the role. <\/p>\n

Multiple sources say 28-year-old Peter is the standout option<\/a> at this point, leaving fellow front runners Mike Johnson<\/strong>, Tyler Cameron<\/strong> and more recent contender Derek Peth<\/strong> in the proverbial dust. As one insider explains, “Pete was always the first pick but producers wanted to see how Paradise<\/em> went with Mike. They love him but aren’t sure if he is ready to carry a whole show.” <\/p>\n

“It could always change,” the source adds, “but Pete’s been their pick since Hannah’s season ended and Tyler started dating<\/a> Gigi Hadid<\/a><\/strong>.” Naturally, we’re told Tyler’s post-Bachelorette<\/em> dating endeavors helped boost Pete’s case. <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

And despite fans of the reality TV series lusting over Derek<\/a>, who was a perfect gentleman when Bachelor in Paradise<\/em> castmate Demi Burnett<\/strong> broke things off to revisit her relationship<\/a> with a hometown girlfriend, our sources say it’s a “long shot” he’ll be chosen. <\/p>\n

What’s more, rumblings on the internet indicate that a production crew was recently spotted in Peter’s Southern California neighborhood. It is important to note, however, that The Bachelor<\/em> often does test shoots before finalizing and announcing their choice. <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

A source says the upcoming season officially starts filming in early September, meaning it’s only a matter of time before we learn which lucky guy gets to embark on the journey of a lifetime. <\/p>\n

And it’s safe to say the 1 million Instagram followers he’s amassed since appearing on The Bachelorette <\/em>would agree it’s these qualities another source said would make Peter the obvious choice: “He’s older, he has a career and he has a great backstory. He can definitely carry a show.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Bachelor in Paradise<\/em> airs Mondays and Tuesdays at 8 p.m. on ABC. The network does not comment on casting speculation. <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
