Is Nick Viall about to have a third go around on reality TV? While the star was first sent packing by Andi Dorfman during her season of The Bachelorette, it was Kaitlyn Bristowe's decision to send Nick home during Monday's dramatic season finale that made fans wonder if he could ever be a part of the franchise again. While we doubt that Viall will be heading to another filming of The Bachelorette, it is being rumors that his name could possibly be thrown into the running for the lead role of The Bachelor along with Ben Higgins and Ben Zorn.

However, after the reported humiliation that Viall has felt after getting picked second in both seasons, it is hard to imagine that he would sign himself up for the reality series spectacle again, right? Well according to Us Weekly, Viall might be warming up to the idea.

"As far as The Bachelor I spent the past three months really just focusing on moving forward. It took a lot out of me, and all of my energy has been focused on [healing]," the star explained. "After last night, I think anyone would feel really lucky to be considered. It's obviously an incredible opportunity."

Nick also told the site that it is the success stories including Sean Lowe and wife Catherine that gives him hope that the process could work out for him.

"It's one of those things, where you know it's not easy. I think we've seen it with some of the previous leads. It's a difficult process and it doesn't always work out, but then again, you have some amazing love stories — Sean and Catherine, Desiree and Chris, and people like that. It's one of those things I'd have to obviously spend a lot of time [discussing] with my family and friends, but I can't say that I wouldn't. It's certainly something that I'd have to take into serious consideration, because I want to take it seriously. I really want to do it only if I felt like it could work for me."

However, Viall has faced a lot of criticism from the public since his season with Andi aired, including Josh Murray who beat him out during Dorfman's season. Murray took to his Twitter to post a tweet about Viall possibly going on the show for a third time.

We're down to the final two… Andi makes her decision Monday on the finale of #TheBachelorette!
