Arie Luyendyk Jr. is about to eat a suitor’s face.

You would find that among The Bachelor spoilers you read online prior to the season, but ABC is just full of surprises in this new promo.

In the following trailer for this beloved dating competition, the one-time Bachelorette runner-up is certainly enjoying life in the lead role.

Elsewhere in the extended trailer for Arie’s season of the show, we see the man who had his heart broken by Emily Maynard open up about his difficult past.

“It’s been a tough journey to get here, and I’ve had my heart broken," he says, adding:

"It’s surreal, in a way. If I turn back time, I don’t know, I could have done things differently."

As one of the most "genuine" stars in franchise history, according to Chris Harrison, it appears as if the road ahead won’t be easy for Arie to navigate.

Will it end in true love and a proposal, however?

At the end of the following sneak peek, a non-Arie male voice  says the following:

"I don’t want to be on this show… I want my girl. I’m here to tell her that I want to marry her."

And then Arie says something about being "mad" that this dude has arrived.

Does a suitor’s ex-boyfriend show up and try to win his former lover back? Because that would actually be a first on the series!

Back to Arie, though:

It certainly looks like he’ll find love before all is said and romantically done, at least based on the following quote:

"I’m gonna tell this girl that I love her and hopefully get down on one knee."

Before he does so, however, Arie will ponder life and all it means while looking at a sunset:
