The INSIDER Summary:
- Peter Kraus was the runner-up on Rachel Lindsay's season of "The Bachelorette."
- Some fans have been hoping that Kraus would become the next "Bachelor" star.
- But according to a tweet from "The Bachelor" creator, that probably won't happen.
"The Bachelorette" runner-up Peter Kraus won the hearts of fans everywhere when he competed on Rachel Lindsay's season of the hit ABC series.
The 31-year-old personal trainer from Wisconsin left the series after his final date with Lindsay, 32, in what was a shocking twist during the show's finale.
Lindsay wanted a proposal at the end of the season, but Kraus had some reservations about proposing after only a few short months. He consistently repeated that he only wanted to propose once in his life and needed to be absolutely certain that it was the right decision. Even though he said he would sacrifice his belief and propose just to stay with her, Lindsay refused to let him do that.
Fans immediately began hoping that Kraus would become the next "Bachelor" star, but according to "Bachelor" creator Mike Fleiss, that's probably not going to happen.
Fleiss sent a tweet out on Thursday that seemed to indirectly say that Kraus would be a bad choice.
"Do we really want a Bachelor who isn't ready to settle down with a woman he loves?" Fleiss wrote. "Hmmm. Not what #thebachelor is all about."

"Peter is every 'Bachelor' producer's worst nightmare: the perfect guy who cannot be coerced into proposing at the end," the source told People. "The fact that no one could talk Peter into buckling under and just giving her the ring — and that he wouldn't play along — absolutely enraged the higher-ups at the show."
As for Kraus, he told the Hollywood Reporter he would "consider" being the next "Bachelor" star, but wasn't thinking about it.
