If you were hoping for a second chance for Hannah Brown, you’re out of luck. 

Sources tell E! News that the beloved star of last season, who ended up with a broken engagement and a bright future, turned down a return to the driver’s seat for season 16 of The Bachelorette when the pay wasn’t enough for her. She then signed on to the Dancing With the Stars stage tour, making her officially unavailable for filming. 

While that’s sad news for fans of Hannah B. (who can’t make it to the DWTS tour dates), it opens up a world of possibilities in terms of who might actually be starring in the upcoming season, which is supposed to begin shooting in just a couple of weeks. Good Morning America will be revealing the new star this Monday morning, so it’s time to take a look at which women could—and which women should—be in the running for the coveted gig. 

First of all, the fact that this announcement is happening even before the reveal of Peter Weber‘s final two women means it’s likely/definitely not Victoria Fuller, Hannah Ann Sluss, or Madison Prewett. In fact, with the announcement coming even before Women Tell All airs, we’d be surprised if the star is from Peter’s season at all. 

Rumors have been swirling that producers were looking at past stars of the franchise for weeks now, but that doesn’t mean everyone from season 24 is out of the running. There are still a few potentially good options, and while no one has really stuck out like they have in previous years, that doesn’t really mean anything. Hannah B. herself was a shocking pic from Colton Underwood’s season, and look at her now! 

The thing is, after Peter’s season, it feels like the franchise is in need of a refresh. The contestants keep getting younger and younger (both Hannah Ann and Madison are 23!), and so it’s getting harder and harder to take the show “seriously.” An older lead and older contestants would help make the show both genuinely interesting and a whole lot more believable, because it’s a whole lot easier to make decisions and not embarrass yourself on national television and find the person you actually could spend the rest of your life with when you’ve lived some life and figured out what it is that you want. 

Plus, trust us: people can absolutely still be dramatic after the age of 30. 

We asked Pilot Pete himself what a person needs in order to make a good lead. 

“Tough skin, for sure. You have no idea how important that is,” he told us. “But just honestly able to tune out a lot and be able to really just focus and be in touch with what your heart’s telling you and what it wants. I believe it’s not gonna lie to you. And there’s gonna be opinions galore, and you’re gonna have, for the next Bachelorette, a lot of guys in the house that are gonna have opinions about certain guys. Do your due diligence as much as possible. Yes, you only have so much information, but you gotta do what makes you happy, and you can’t make decisions for anyone else.” 

So, with that in mind and with Hannah out of the running, let’s talk about who could still be in it. 

We’ll find out Monday morning when the announcement is made. Good Morning America airs at 7 a.m., and The Bachelor: Women Tell All will air Monday at 8 p.m. on ABC.
