Last week, ABC released a promo for The Bachelor that played up the show’s unintentionally comedic aspects, while teasing a few The Bachelor spoilers.

Today, the network shared a teaser that focuses on the soap opera-caliber drama that’s made the cutthroat romantic competition series such an addictive reality TV staple over the years.

The Hollywood Gossip Logo

it’s an understatement to say there’s a lot going on in this trailer:

We get our first extended look at Chris Soules as The Bachelor; we learn producers have brought in more wannabe-fiancees than ever before…But the real surprise comes at the very end:

As the show’s signature, schlocky voice-over promises a season "pregnant with possibility," the camera closes in on a discarded home pregnancy test…

 

The results screen has been blurred out, so it’s totally possible that one of the ladies simply experienced a false alarm, but the dramatic tease certainly has the Internet abuzz with speculation. 

The new promo has raised a number of questions about this upcoming season:

Would the show go on if one of the ladies got knocked up? Will the female fans who fell in love with Chris after he got dumped by Andi Dorfman feel the same way if he gets some rando pregnant?

Doesn’t ABC stock that damn Fantasy Suite with condoms?!

Hopefully all these questions and more will be answered in the show’s 19th (!) season.

In the meantime you can watch The Bachelor online to relive every sleazy moment the Fantasy Suite has to offer, and click through pics of the new star below:
