Bachelor Nation announced the men who could appear on season 17 of The Bachelorette, vying for Katie Thurston’s heart.
As is the typical practice, on Thursday, the dating franchise released the first names, ages and hometowns of the men quarantining in New Mexico to appear on the upcoming season. While there are 34 men listed, it is expected a few will not make it to night one.
This season of The Bachelorette will follow the quarantined bubble model first employed with the last season of The Bachelorette and used again on The Bachelor, with production entirely taking place at the Hyatt Regency Tamaya Resort & Spa. For these contestants to make it into the competition, they will need to test negative for COVID-19.
