The Bachelorette: Meet the Diverse Group of Men Competing For Rachel's Heart

The Bachelorette is about to return on ABC, and we finally have a look at Rachel Lindsay's suitors! While she got to meet some early (on The Bachelor's "After the Final Rose" special), we're just seeing most of these guys for the first time. There are a ton of guys from her hometown of Dallas, and we're appreciating that ABC finally seems to have selected a diverse group of dudes. (Of course, they're still all super hot.) Until the show premieres on Monday, let's talk about the men competing for Rachel's heart.

Adam
ABC

Adam

  • Age: 27
  • Occupation: Real estate agent
  • Hometown: Dallas
  • First impression: He's from Dallas, which makes it really easy for Rachel. On the flip side, if they don't end up together, they'll both live in fear of running into each other at Starbucks.
Alex
ABC

Alex

  • Age: 28
  • Occupation: Information systems supervisor
  • Hometown: Grosse Pointe Park, MI

  • Age: 26
  • Occupation: Education software manager
  • Hometown: Chicago
  • First impression: Ah, the first of several men from Chicago. Seriously, there are four.
Blake E.
ABC

Blake E.

  • Age: 31
  • Occupation: Aspiring drummer
  • Hometown: Marina del Rey, CA
  • First impression: I'm going to need a definition of "aspiring drummer." Does that mean he's in a band that hasn't taken off yet, or does he have, like, a toy drum set?
Blake K.
ABC

Blake K.

  • Age: 29
  • Occupation: US Marine veteran
  • Hometown: San Francisco

Brady
ABC

Brady

  • Age: 29
  • Occupation: Male model
  • Hometown: Miami
  • First impression: I have two questions here. 1. Why do we feel the need to say "male" model? We don't say "female model." Aren't they all just models? 2. Oh man, 29 is like 40 for models. Hope Brady has a backup career.
Bryce
ABC

Bryce

  • Age: 30
  • Occupation: Firefighter
  • Hometown: Orlando, FL
