Bachelorette Contestants: The Good, The Bad And The Weird

Wouldn't be the bachelor nation if there weren't wild cards.

Bachelorette Contestants: The Good, The Bad And The Weird
Cosmopolitan

It’s that time again! Get your comfy pajamas on, bottle of wine opened and your popcorn ready because the Bachelorette is back Monday, May 23rd. Jojo, the newest Bachelorette, had a world wind of a season on Ben Higgins’s season of the Bachelor making it to the final two. We were all blindsided by Ben’s choosing Lauren B., after admitting to Lauren and Jojo that he was in love with both of them! Jojo was heartbroken during the season finale but is back and ready to find true love this time around. ABC recently released the pictures and short bios of all 26 of Jojo’s prospects, and I studied each man and picked out the five best, four worst and the just plain weird ones out of the bunch. Here’s the run down of the next season’s men…

The Best

1. Derek


I have the highest hopes for this 6’3”, blue-eyed beauty. He seems like a sweetheart and talks about his parents 33 years of marriage with admiration. Derek is 29 and is a commercial banker, which seems like a pretty steady job especially in comparison to some other Bachelor careers. He revealed his wild side when he admitted to skinny dipping in the ocean at three in the morning. I hope Jojo falls for Derek like I already have…

2. Chase

Chase is another 6’3” contender, this one however is a man with a heart for his truck, perfect for a Texas girl like Jojo. He’s 27 and a medical sales representative with a self-proclaimed laid back attitude. If you aren’t sold by the light brown eyes and gorgeous smile, his description of the woman he wants to marry will sell you. Chase is looking for his best friend in his future wife, someone to share forever with.

3. Alex

Alex is a US Marine, 25 and a loyal friend. He has tattoos, but they’re all for his family (*swoon*). Alex has a twin (thank goodness that wasn’t his job description) that he wants to own a business with one day. I think Alex’s family-oriented style is the perfect match for Jojo’s brothers who are notorious for being over protective of Jojo’s heart. Jojo would be safe in the hands of this daring Marine that once ripped the driver out burning car.

4. Grant

Grant is a firefighter!!! One of his best attributes is making people smile and I have to say his arms aren’t half bad to look at. This 6’2” 27-year-old has a lot of upper body tattoos and is romantic! Grant enjoys doing the little things for the women in his life.

5. Jordan

Former pro quarterback Jordan has a sense of humor and high energy. Jordan is 27 and loves a girl that is spontaneous! Jojo could easily fall for this loveably goofy guy! He spoke about how much he admires his grandparents and the relationship they have.

The Worst

1. James F

James really isn’t that bad... but he’s 34! Jojo is only 25!! I know that’s not too far of an age gap but I’m not sure how this one will work out. James F. I hope it all works out for you but I think Jojo needs someone that’s in the same place in their life as her.

2. Wells

First things first, he doesn’t like pizza. I feel like not much else needs to be said about why he’s on the worst list. Who doesn’t like pizza?? What does he eat for midnight snacks?? So many questions for Wells. Like why did you pick that jacket for your official bachelor picture? I’ve got my eye on this one on the first night something weird is bound to happen.

3. Chad


I clicked on Chad’s bio really excited to read about this hottie, but was ultimately disappointed and put off by his answers. I think he was aiming to be funny but it came off a little conceited. We’ll either love him or we’ll hate him and I’m not really sure which way it will swing. He answered “Myself in 10 years, alright, alright, alright” to three of the questions he asked, leaving us all confused about who this guy actually is. I hope Chad turns his reputation around on the first episode, but until then he’s on the worsts list.

4. Daniel

Daniel is a 31-year-old male model that has an obsession with “lambo” references. “Why put a sticker on a lambo?” and “Why buy a lambo if you’re going to park it in the garage?” all referring to himself and his looks. Not the best way to win a girl’s heart. He seems a little too imaged obsessed for my personal taste.

The Weird

1. Robby


He’s defiantly a little less weird than the others, but he talked about wanting to have 12 kids!! Okay not 12, only about four or five, but that’s a lot of kids! He was a swimmer, so I feel like we’ll be seeing him rocking a speedo around the mansion on more than one occasion this season.

2. James S.


James S. is 27 and his job description is Bachelor Superfan. I’m not sure where he got that job title, but I’d like to know so they can hire me too. What does a bachelor superfan do when the seasons are over? I guess that job title sounds slightly better than unemployed. Maybe a man that loves the show just as much as the rest of Bachelor Nation watching might work out perfect, we’ll just have to wait and see. James S. is a very handsome man…but he looks a little too much like a Ken doll for my taste.

3. Evan

And finally we have Evan. Job description, Erectile Dysfunction Specialist. Yep, you read that right, he helps men that can’t get it up. There’s not much to say about this 33-year-old contestant. Hopefully he brings some humor to the show and maybe we’ll get lucky enough for him to talk about his job in front of Jojo!

I cannot wait to see what comes out of this season. With three James, two Nicks, someone in a Santa suit and another in a kilt, May 23rd should not disappoint. I really do hope Jojo finds the true love she deserves with one of these men. Here’s to a season full of laughing, crying and finding true love!

When I was learning how to talk, I was taught both Portuguese and English at the same time. In elementary school, I started taking mandatory Spanish classes, which I did well in because of my knowledge of Portuguese. Then in high school, on top of taking Spanish, I also started taking French. Now, in college, already fluent in English and Portuguese, I'm in the process of becoming fluent in Spanish, and I have a standard high school level understanding of French.

I am without a doubt one of those people who refuses to start decorating for Christmas or listen to Christmas music until after Thanksgiving. Unfortunately, Thanksgiving has become an underrated holiday over the years. You barely see any Thanksgiving decorations in stores; it's like they skip right from Halloween to Christmas.

Some universities only get two or three days off for Thanksgiving break. Or, if your university is like mine, you get the whole week off go go home. A whole week off is a long time. I'm not complaining, because I'd rather have a whole week off than three days, but there is a lot of down time. Here are some ideas as to what you can do to get the most out of your Thanksgiving break.

Your relationship doesn´t have to be full of exchanges of lavish gifts. You do not have to go on elaborate dates and try crazy things. While those are great for a relationship, there are much simpler ways to ensure a happy and stable union.
