Does anybody else in here think Peter from VPR should go on The Bachelor?

Reality TV often sparks unexpected debates, and one surprising name has entered the conversation about who should be the next star of The Bachelor: Peter Madrigal, the longtime SUR manager and familiar face on Bravo’s Vanderpump Rules. While he has never been the central figure on the show, fans are beginning to wonder whether Peter might be the perfect candidate for ABC’s long-running dating series.

The idea came from a fan who admitted, “Does anybody else in here think Peter from VPR should go on The Bachelor? He’s not my type, but I’ve met him a couple of times at SUR and he is super nice.” That single comment has snowballed into a buzzworthy suggestion across fan groups and Bravo social media communities.

Peter has been part of the Vanderpump Rules world since the very beginning, often acting as the calm, collected counterpart to the chaos surrounding Lisa Vanderpump’s staff. Unlike his co-stars, who are usually entangled in scandals, breakups, and explosive drama, Peter has built a reputation as steady, loyal, and, most importantly, genuinely kind. For Bachelor Nation, that could be exactly the fresh energy the franchise needs.

Fans point out that while The Bachelor often highlights flashy personalities or headline-making contestants, there’s a real hunger for someone who feels grounded and authentic. “Peter might not be the most outrageous person on reality TV, but that’s exactly why he’d work,” one fan wrote online. “People want to see a guy who’s serious about love, not just chasing Instagram followers.”

It’s true that Peter has largely flown under the radar compared to his castmates like Jax Taylor, Stassi Schroeder, or Scheana Shay. Yet that might play to his advantage. He brings with him years of reality TV experience without being overexposed, a familiarity with the spotlight but not the baggage of a scandal-heavy past.

Another factor fans note is his charm in real life. Those who have met Peter at SUR, the restaurant at the heart of the Bravo series, consistently describe him as approachable and warm. In an era where Bachelor leads are scrutinized for authenticity, Peter’s reputation as “super nice” could be a winning trait.

Of course, ABC has not commented on the idea, and Peter himself hasn’t publicly responded to the growing chatter. Still, it’s not unusual for reality TV figures to cross over from one franchise to another. With his tall frame, long dark hair, and signature calm demeanor, he already has the screen presence. All he might be missing is a mansion full of roses.

As fans continue to speculate, the question remains: is America ready to hand Peter Madrigal the Bachelor crown? If social media excitement is any indication, the SUR manager just might be the unexpected choice that could breathe new life into the franchise.
