Woke up this morning, and whaddya’ know, ABC has released 32 who might be on Clare’s season. This is the 4th season in a row they’ve released the men early. Filming begins Friday, and in years past, in the 2 days the contestants were released before filming started, 2-3 end up getting cut and not making the list. So just assume that’ll happen again. Every guy I had on my list of 20 except for one ended up being part of this 32, so that made my job a little bit easier today. However, here’s what I’ll do. I’m giving the 19 whose bios I already had made up right now, gonna work on today’s column, and that’ll be up in a few hours. I’m sure by then, I’ll have more last names of the 13 guys I don’t have, and I’ll post those as well. The link in the first sentence takes you directly to all 32 guys and their head shots. 32 guys and 9 are 30 or older. Meh. I figured they’d do more than that, but hey, you saw my tweet yesterday, when I had 16 of the guys, only 3 were over 30. So yeah, they don’t really care about age for Clare since they included that 23 year old I originally had, and a couple 25 year olds as well. That’s ridiculous. I know Clare dates younger, but not THAT younger. 14 years? Seriously? Do you honestly think anyone under 25 has a chance at her?
Basically, you already have your built in drama with the guys in the house because you know the older ones are gonna tell the guys in their 20’s aren’t ready for marriage yet. So this season is already off to a rollicking start. Anyway, one thing I wanna put out there immediately, is that I’m sure negative stories will be coming forward about these guys by the dozens. But again, unless I personally speak to someone myself that has a really bad story about one of them, or someone wants to attach their name to their accusation, I’m not gonna be reporting how a guy might have been mean to them back in college, or this guy’s a douche, or this guy did this or that, etc. It’s gonna have to be something pretty serious for me to report something on one of these guys, because trust me, I’ve already heard some negative stories about a couple of these dudes. Nothing we haven’t heard every season about these guys, but nothing earth shattering either. Yet.
So here’s the 19 guys I already had, and I’ll be back in a few hours to talk about that dumpster fire we saw last night, along with hopefully more guys last names coming fast and furious at you all day long on social media.
