Should Jason Tartick Be ‘The Bachelor’ Season 30 Lead? (POLL)

A new online rumor has surfaced claiming that Jason Tartick is being considered as the lead for Season 30 of The Bachelor when the show returns in 2026. It was confirmed on June 30 that the dating show had been renewed, leading to speculation about who would be the next lucky guy looking for love.
Since there was no new season of The Bachelorette in 2025, there won’t be an obvious pool of guys to choose from (usually, the next lead is selected from one of the previous Bachelorette cast members). Reports have even claimed that ABC might change things up and choose a guy from outside of Bachelor Nation.
Of course, they could also dip several years back and find a former suitor who’s still single to fill the position, which is where Tartick would come in. A Reddit thread revealed that the Game of Roses podcast heard a rumor about Tartick being considered for the position.
Tartick appeared on Season 14 of The Bachelorette with Becca Kufrin in 2018 and finished in third place. Even though this was his only appearance in a Bachelor Nation show, he remained relevant in the franchise due to his subsequent relationship with Kaitlyn Bristowe, who was the lead of Season 11 of The Bachelorette.
Bristowe and Tartick started dating in early 2019 and got engaged in 2021. They broke up in 2023 and he went on to date Kat Stickler for six months. However, that relationship ended in October 2024, and Tartick has not been in a public romance since.
There has been no confirmation that this casting is even a possibility, but we want to know your thoughts.
