:extract_cover():upscale()/2014/05/13/849/n/1922283/7809d51f5c8cb5e8_bach-fp.jpg)
The Bachelorette premieres this week, with former Bachelor contestant Andi Dorfman appearing as the lucky lady who gets to hand out roses. One of the most fun parts of the season is here before the show even airs — checking out the bachelors who are competing for Andi! We have all the guys here, including Eric, the contestant who passed away shortly after filming and to whom the season will be dedicated.
Steven
- Age: 30
- Occupation: Snowboard product developer
- Hometown: Meadow Vista, CA
- First impression: That hair's a little footloose and fancy free. Is "snowboard product developer" a real job? (Hey, I'm just asking what they'd ask on a hometown date.)
Craig
- Age: 29
- Occupation: Tax accountant
- Hometown: Defiance, IA
- First impression: He's nice-looking, but I am a bit wary of the multiple man-bracelets. I think he's trying to prove he's a spicy tax accountant.
Brett
- Age: 29
- Occupation: Hairstylist
- Hometown: Warminster, PA
- First impression: I can't concentrate on anything, because it looks like Brett has a mullet that is trying to break out. You guys, he's a hairstylist! He did this to himself!
Ron
- Age: 28
- Occupation: Beverage sales manager
- Hometown: Nahariya, Israel
- First impression: Ooh. Nice smile, nice sweater; though he is also guilty of the man-bracelets.
Nick V.
- Age: 33
- Occupation: Software sales exec
- Hometown: Waukesha, WI
- First impression: This guy's mixing up scruffy and preppy. I'm digging it.
Mike
- Age: 29
- Occupation: Bartender
- Hometown: Guilderland, NY
- First impression: I'm guessing Mike is a little too into his Samson hair. Also, you date the bartender; you don't marry him.
Nick S.
- Age: 27
- Occupation: Pro golfer
- Hometown: Chicago
- First impression: I love a man who embraces purple, but this shirt is working overtime in the attention-getting department. And again: what's with all the bracelets?
Bradley
- Age: 32
- Occupation: Opera singer
- Hometown: Grosse Pointe, MI
- First impression: It's cool that he sings opera . . . Sorry, I can't get past the Cameron-on-Modern Family shirt.
Emil
- Age: 33
- Occupation: Helicopter pilot
- Hometown: Portland
- First impression: He already has the hot job. Now he just has to wow us with his personality.
Chris
- Age: 32
- Occupation: Farmer
- Hometown: Lamont, IA
- First impression: He's a modern farmer! I'm already kind of sold.
Josh M.
- Age: 29
- Occupation: Former pro baseball player
- Hometown: Tampa, FL
- First impression: He's cute, tall, and used to play baseball. I am not envying the tough decisions in Andi's future. Well, maybe I am.
JJ
- Age: 30
- Occupation: "Pantsapreneur"
- Hometown: San Francisco
- First impression: Oh, JJ. Those pants. The implication that your job is to create those pants. The idea that you tell people you are a "pantsapreneur." I can't.
Dylan
- Age: 26
- Occupation: Accountant
- Hometown: Longmeadow, MA
- First impression: He looks like he's used to ladies liking him. He's either a total bro or just a really solid dude.
Jason
- Age: 35
- Occupation: Urgent-care physician
- Hometown: Houghton, MI
- First impression: I do think he could use a haircut, but I'm giving him a pass because he's a doctor. Paging McDreamy!
Josh B.
- Age: 29
- Occupation: Telecommunication marketer
- Hometown: Evergreen, CO
- First impression: There's not much that's screaming at me about Josh. I hope he makes a better first impression on Andi.
Rudie
- Age: 31
- Occupation: Attorney
- Hometown: Yorba Linda, CA
- First impression: He has kind eyes. I believe this to be an excellent quality.
Andrew
- Age: 30
- Occupation: Social media manager
- Hometown: Portola Valley, CA
- First impression: Something about this guy makes me feel like he's down to sweep a girl off her feet. Or he's just good at grooming his facial hair.
Cody
- Age: 28
- Occupation: Personal trainer
- Hometown: Oakley, KS
- First impression: Given that he wrote "You don't put bumper stickers on a Mercedes =)" in his online bio when asked if he had tattoos, we're already rooting for him to get cut in the first rose ceremony.
Marcus
- Age: 25
- Occupation: Sports medicine manager
- Hometown: Medicine Hat, Alberta, Canada
- First impression: The token Canadian! I'm already a little inexplicably smitten.
Tasos
- Age: 30
- Occupation: Wedding event coordinator
- Hometown: Denver
- First impression: Hold up — he's a wedding planner?! Well, if Andi doesn't marry him, he will certainly prove useful.
Patrick
- Age: 29
- Occupation: Advertising executive
- Hometown: Clinton, NJ
- First impression: Hmm, he's a little too slick. He's getting the early side-eye.
Marquel
- Age: 26
- Occupation: Sponsorship salesman
- Hometown: Rialto, CA
- First impression: That jacket is a little fancy for this shoot, but I appreciate a man who thinks about presentation.
Carl
- Age: 30
- Occupation: Firefighter
- Hometown: Hollywood
- First impression: He has tattoos and is a fireman. We're all toast, ladies.
Brian
- Age: 27
- Occupation: Basketball coach
- Hometown: Harrisburg, PA
- First impression: Tell me he's a kids' basketball coach, and we're in.
Eric
- Age: 31
- Occupation: Explorer
- Hometown: Citrus Heights, CA
- First impression: Well, this is going to be heartbreaking. Eric Hill died shortly after filming of the show concluded, but he does appear this season.
