It sounds like decisions will be made pretty quickly since his team will present offers to him within the next week or so. In addition to an upcoming appearance on 90210, Ryan has his eyes set on another sizzling reality show: Dancing With the Stars.

The insider pointed out he has to strike while the iron is hot and also be strategic about what he chooses to do. "Ryan is acutely aware that he has to attach himself to the right projects and endorsements that won't do damage to his all-American image. As much as he'd like to do it, Ryan does have some reservations about The Bachelor because he wouldn't have any control on how he is portrayed on the show."

Do you think he should be the next Bachelor? Sound off below!
