The Bachelorette week 3 power rankings: A little note goes a long way

THE BACHELORETTE - "1503" - Eight men get the surprise of their life as husband and wife actors Jason Biggs ("American Pie" movies, "Orange Is the New Black") and Jenny Mollen (TV series "Angel" and "Crash") take them to a birthing class with hilarious results. Which one of Hannah's suitors will endure the experience of simulating childbirth? The Bachelorette gets a real-life health scare and one bachelor comes to her rescue. In return, she rewards him with a private concert by Danish pop and soul band Lukas Graham, performing their hit, "Love Someone." Hannah brings another group of men on a professional photo shoot where they are shocked to find that they are posing with professional models-who are adorable animals. The curious Bachelorette once again employs Demi to share with her what the men do when she is not around, reminiscent of the new Illumination Entertainment film from the creators of "Despicable Me," "The Secret Life of Pets 2." Will the guys pass Demi's test? And later, will one man spin out of control and out of Hannah's life? The men battle to get a rose, whatever it takes, on "The Bachelorette," MONDAY, MAY 27 (8:00-10:01 p.m. EDT), on The ABC Television Network. (ABC/John Fleenor)PETER, HANNAH BROWN /

3. Mike

Mike! We love Mike!

And we’re not alone. Twitter has been all over the guy. There have even been a few small campaigns to see him named the next Bachelor if he doesn’t outright win The Bachelorette.

It’s easy to understand all of the support for Mike. He comes off as a very genuine, very nice guy. This good nature seems to be paying off with Hannah, too, who gave him a group date rose this week.

The validation came for Mike after he chose this week to open up about an extremely difficult time in his life. He spoke about getting his ex pregnant and how they lost the child during the second trimester. He was extremely vulnerable and the moment felt very raw and real.

This was a risk that paid off. If the Bachelorette had been anyone else, there was always the possibility that they’d hear about Mike’s extremely intimate connection with an ex and then written him off completely. But as Hannah Brown has already spent some on-screen time talking about how she’s comfortable with sex and won’t judge anyone for their relationships, it feels like Mike had the perfect women to connect with over his moving story.
