Zach Shallcrosss's season of "The Bachelor" is about halfway over, but former "Bachelorette" leads Becca Kufrin and Michelle Young already have the next "Bachelorette" picked out.

Although fans do not yet know who ends up with Shallcross at the end of his season, Kufrin and Young are hoping one lady in particular actually ends up getting sent home as they want to see her as the next lead on "The Bachelorette."

Michelle Young and Becca Kufrin currently co-host a podcast called "Bachelor Happy Hour" where the two discuss what is happening within "The Bachelor" franchise, as well as have special guests appear on the show from time to time.

Just last week, one of Shallcross's remaining 11 women, Charity Lawson, appeared on the podcast, where Young and Kufrin gushed over the child and family therapist. "You are me and Becca's girl!... This girl is going to go far!" Young said to Lawson before Kufrin chimed in, adding, "You are our favorite!"

Although fans of the show have to wait to see who ends up stealing Shallcross's heart in the end, Kufrin is already suggesting that if Lawson is still single, perhaps she could be the next lead of the franchise. "Who knows, maybe Charity -- you never know -- maybe you'll have to live with... dating multiple men and having your family watch it back [one day]," Kufrin joked.

"If you need me to fly to Georgia so that I can start prepping your dad to see you on the screen a little bit longer, you know, maybe trying to find your own person," Young chimed in hinting at perhaps Lawson could be the next lead of the show.

Young did acknowledge that Lawson could be with Shallcross, and if that is the case, she hopes he is happy, however, if she is single, the former "Bachelorette" lead wants to see her go back onto the franchise.

"Here's the thing, though. Becca and I know jack sh-t; we're just manifesting. If you're with Zach, I really hope you're happy. But part of me also is like, can she not be?," Young said before Kufrin added, "I'm just going to say it: I hope you're not with Zach and I hope you're Bachelorette! I'm saying it right now!"

Charity Lawson has quickly become a front-runner on this season of "The Bachelor" after she built an immediate connection with lead Zach Shallcross. 

When introducing the women of Zach Shallcross's season, host Jessie Palmer said, “It’s easy to see what makes Charity such a great catch! With a smile that lights up the room, a great career and a sweet personality to match, Charity is the total package!"

Palmer continued to describe the child and family therapist from Columbus, Georgia as a loving and caring individual, saying, "The Georgia beauty takes her name as a call to love and care for people and has built her life on that purpose. Charity is a mental health therapist and is extremely passionate about helping people live their best lives.”

He continued, “Now, she is ready to receive the love she gives to so many others! Charity hopes her future husband is honest, loyal and shares similar morals. She says she is really excited to meet Zach and thinks the two of them could be a perfect match on paper. Time will tell if they’re also a perfect match in person!”

Zach Shallcross’s season of “The Bachelor” continues Mondays at 8 p.m. ET on ABC. The episodes are available to stream the following day on Hulu.
