I knew Michelle’s cast of potential guys was gonna get posted this week since filming starts in a few days, but I didn’t realize they were gonna drop it first thing Monday morning. So much to my chagrin, didn’t expect it to take over my Monday as I spent all day getting info on these guys to get you their last names and IG accounts. Was able to get 33 of the 35 guys. They are all on my IG feed and in my IG highlights. Here you go:
Remember, this isn’t the whole cast. Some of these guys will get cut before filming starts. With 35 men, in the past, we’ve seen it go down to 30 or 31 or so. So expect anywhere from 3-5 of these guys not to make it. The average age of this cast is 29.3, which seems to track with past seasons. The age of the men on “Bachelorette” seasons is always higher than the women on the “Bachelor” seasons. That’s a given. I know @Bachelordata on IG will have the age breakdown of seasons coming soon, but an average age of 29 seems about right for “Bachelorette.” A couple notes about the guys that were in my Twitter reveals but not necessarily in IG:
-LT Murray IV is Clint Eastwood’s grandson. And according to this article, he’s wanted to break into TV/acting for a while. He’s currently got a training business in Washington state, and this article seems rather old, so who knows how legit it still is.
-PJ Henderson’s brother, Bakari, was murdered in Greece in 2017. So the Bakari Foundation was set up in his name to provide travel experiences for families who’ve lost loved ones at the hands of others. I’m sure PJ will share this story with the world on the show, as he should.
-Have I already started hearing negative things about some of Michelle’s men? Yes. Yes I have. I do every season. We’ll just leave it at that. Just remember, not all 35 of these guys will make it to night 1. Some are getting cut. I’m curious to see who gets the boot.
-As far as I could tell, Spencer Williams is the only father on the show. Has a little son named Bray, which you can see on his IG if he hasn’t set it to private right now.
-Speaking of that, yesterday when I revealed the 33 guys I’d found, 17 of them still had their IG’s public: Alec, Brandon Jones, Brett, Garrett, Jamie, Joel, Jomarri, Martin, Michael, Mollique, Nayte, Olumide, Peter, Rick, Ryan, Spencer, and Trevor. Since yesterday and as of this posting, 5 of those 17 have gone to private: Joel, Mollique, Nayte, Rick, and Ryan. I would expect most, if not all, of the remaining 12 men who are public to go private either today or tomorrow.
-And oh yeah, if anyone knows who Daniel or Will are, the only 2 guys I haven’t found yet, let me know.

I think they are priming Andrew to be the next bachelor.

I hope you’re right, jlal! My Roku streaming up oMonday night so i missed end of the MTA and did not get to see Andrew get in the “hot seat.” Steve keeps saying that they’re grooming Michael A to be the next Bachelor, but I just don’t think he’s right for the role. I do like him but would MUCH rather have Andrew. He’s one of my favorite guys for the last several seasons. And, how is Michael going to navigate a whole season of his own with a son at home? His situation is much different than Jason Mesnick’s. Michael’s lost his mother to cancer just a couple years ago, so don’t see him leaving him again so soon

Steve makes no mention of Katie’s infamous Freudian slip: addressing Aaron as Thomas!
Last week Steve got the Mike P comment completely turned around by saying Katie said Mike P reminded her of her mother, when it was Mike P who said it about Katie.
I wonder how much Steve is really watching these episodes?

It appears to me that RS is losing interest in the Bachelor franchise. He’s not been the same since he got spanked for over-stepping his bounds with Bachelor/ette alums. And he’s pushing other reality shows like Temptation Island and now FBoy Island. Plus, I’ve noticed that fans are not weighing in on his site as much, comments section most days are empty. I think he made a big mistake switching to deliver news via podcasts. I tried listening to some early on but too long-winded and just not interesting. And who has the time to devote to that? I sure don’t. He had a good thing going for many years but, like the Bach/ette franchise itself, interest seems to be waning.

The one thing about Andrew is that despite being a football player, during his one-on-one date with Katie he was definitely lacking in the courage one would hope a man would have.
(Walking with lanterns down a paved/gravel path, in the dark, surrounded by camera crew)
Andrew: (nervously) Into the woods.
Katie: I hope you’re feeling brave today.
Andrew: Uhh…
Katie: (laughs)
Andrew: This is nervous! I’m about to start running.
Nice guy, but not someone one would want to face life’s battles with.

Michael should NEVER have been on the show, nor should any man or woman with a minor child.
If you get divorced or are widowed, your #1 responsibility is to the CHILD, not your love life.
And especially if the child’s mother is alive, bringing in another woman to compete with him for his/her father’s love is horrendous.
Wait until the chld is 18 before introducing another adult to the situation.

At least Michael finally realized how he was hurting his son and bailed out. Katie should have told him to go home and take care of his son the first time she met him.
