We might still be awaiting (and not so patiently, we might add…) the newest season of The Bachelor to see if the third time’s the charm for Nick Viall, but we just got a sneak peek at one of the group dates of the upcoming season — and it’s a ’90s girl dream come true! The ladies and Viall just headed to the IHeartRadio theater for the recent Backstreet Boys concert, where The Bachelor cast took the stage. Because what’s a date without a choreographed group dance, right?
Who needs a trip to Jamaica? This is our version of a fantasy date! The season 21 contestants — in matching outfits, of course — and Viall attended the Backstreet Boys concert and slayed the stage (see video below), according to E! News. After the Backstreet Boys performed “Everybody (Backstreet’s Back),” the concert got a reality show twist when the ladies began performing a choreographed group dance around their sweetheart.
But the performance wasn’t just a surprise treat for the audience — it was a competition amongst the contestants! At the end of their performance, the Backstreet Boys themselves practically took on rose ceremony duties by choosing a winner of the dance-off. The prize? A sweet slow dance to “I Want It That Way” with Viall as the other contestants watched from the sidelines. Our past teenage selves are SO jealous right now…

“You’re like my personal Ryan Reynolds,” Backstreet Boys member A.J. Mclean joked to Viall. “Not only is Nick handsome, he can move.” If we weren’t already looking towards the upcoming season, we definitely are now!
“Nick seemed to have a lot of fun,” said one onlooker. “The girls are definitely into him and definitely wanted to grab Nick’s attention during the group date.” Is it too early for us to be planning Viall’s future televised wedding?
