Season 24 of ‘The Bachelor’ filming in Costa Rica

Here’s an important story for fans of quality TV: Season 24 of “The Bachelor” is currently filming in Costa Rica.

This season’s bachelor is Peter Weber — AKA “Pilot Pete,” because he’s a commercial airline pilot, enjoys flying puns (they’re just plane fun) and showed up to a previous season dressed in his uniform.

Unfortunately, Pilot Pete suffered a significant facial injury while in Costa Rica, according to E! News and Us Weekly. Weber was apparently taken to a hospital in San José and received 22 stitches.

The contestant is “100% OK and production is already back underway,” according to Chris Harrison, the show’s host.

There’s been some wild claims and rumors about Peter today. Peter suffered a freak accident. He got a cut on his head, he did get stitches but he’s 100% OK and production is already back underway. He’s still the dashing, handsome pilot we’ve all dreamed of

Will Pilot Pete find love? We’ll all find out when the season hits TV on Jan. 6, 2020 (ABC).

Until then, we can only hope that one of the contestants drops a Shawn Mendes line after a rose ceremony.

“And now that I’m without your kisses, I’ll be needing stitches.”
