ABC's "The Bachelorette" premieres on May 22, immediately following part one of the "Dancing With The Stars" finale. Fans have been eagerly awaiting the premiere ever since it was announced that Rachel Lindsay was chosen to begin her journey to find love. The fan favorite from Nick Viall's season was eliminated immediately following the Fantasy Suite dates. On May 17, the network finally released the names and bios of the thirty-one men who want to win the heart of the beautiful attorney. From the looks of it, she is going to be surrounded by very good-looking, intelligent men.
Meet Rachel's men
As we already know, Rachel met four of her men during "The Bachelor: After The Final Rose" in March. She will meet the rest on Monday night as they try to impress her straight out of the limo. They will then continue to get to know her during the first night cocktail party, with the hope of winning the first impression rose. At the end of the night, she will choose the men she sees potential with, and send several others home heartbroken.
We have already met DeMario, the Blakes, Dean, and Eric, all of whom seemed to make quite an impression on our leading lady. Fans were excited to see Rachel begin her journey before the premiere, but have remained curious as to who else will be moving into the Bachelor Mansion.
The guys joining those previously mentioned include senior inventory analyst Diggy, consulting firm CEO Iggy, and firefighter Bryce. Also, in a "Bachelor" franchise first, we will see Rachel meet one suitor who has a surprising connection to her childhood. The other suitors include a fellow attorney, a professional wrestler/dad, and a "whaboom."
Those occupations!
As always, ABC released the bios of each suitor, letting us know a little bit about their personalities and what they do for a living.
In the past, we have seen several interesting occupations (pantsapreneur, anyone?) and this season is no different. Some of the most interesting ones include the aforementioned "whaboom" (Lucas) and tickle monster (Jonathan). No word yet on what exactly these men do, but I am sure that we will learn more about these mystery occupations as the season progresses.
Who will she choose?
While the season has not yet begun airing, spoilers are already being released by Bachelor blogger/spoiler king Steve "Reality Steve" Carbone. While he has a reputation of being accurate, fans are still waiting to see how things progress throughout the season. However, if he is correct as to who will win, it seems that Rachel is one lucky lady!
"The Bachelorette" season premiere will air Monday at 9pm EST, only on ABC.
