ABC is gearing up to air 'The Bachelor' Season 20, and they have prepared a lot of surprises this season for the fans.

This season's bachelor will be Ben Higgins, a software salesman who once considered himself "unlovable." Now, he will have the chance to give out roses and maybe find his future wife.

According to the network, there will be a lot of exotic dates, special guests and great travel itineraries.

Before Ben meets the 28 contestants, he will hear a few words of wisdom from former bachelors, namely: Sean Lowe of Season 17, Jason Mesnick of Season 13 and Chris Soules from last season.

The lucky contestant to go out with Ben on his first one-on-one date will be accompanied by Ice Cube and Kevin Hart.

There will also be an episode where Ben takes twelve bachelorettes and plays them against the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup championship football team.

In the latter part of the show, Ben will take his final nine bachelorettes on a sexy trip to Mexico. The girls will meet one of the country's biggest fashion designers, and also have the opportunity to walk the runway on the opening part of Mexico's Fashion Week.

Also according to ABC, the contestants include a friend of Kaitlyn Bristowe. Ben tried to capture the heart of Kaitlyn, but came up short in doing so.
