Hometown Heroes

These guys are definitely making it to hometowns. I’m not sure how hometowns are going to work during The Bachelorette Season 16. Maybe a PowerPoint about the town with family calling in via Zoom? Regardless, these guys are the odds-on favorites to take home the final rose.

4. Zach J. (9-1)

Zach J. is obsessed with gum and Chapstick. I have a feeling that Clare is going to like that about him. He’s also a member of the Grammar Police, as he states that he “doesn’t understand why people have so much trouble knowing when to use there vs. they’re vs. their. It drives him crazy!”

3. Jason (6-1)

Jason says that “if he could, he would open his home to every dog on the planet that needs one.” Say no more. See you in the finals.

2. Bennett (4-1)

I honestly can’t stand this guy already. I don’t want to be mean, so I’m just going to move on. Actually, no I’m not. He just really reminds me of the Harvard guy from the bar in Good Will Hunting. I need Matt Damon to make a cameo and say “How do you like them apples?” once Bennett finally gets the boot, which, I unfortunately think may be late in the game.

1. Dale (-125)

The odds on favorite to win it all. In his bio, Dale tells us that he loves Oprah. That’s reason enough to take home the #1 slot in my books.

And that’s all she wrote–the preseason power rankings for The Bachelorette Season 16.

Who do you think has the best shot to make the final four for Clare? How do you think this changes if someone else, Tayshia Adams, perhaps, steps in as The Bachelorette? Share your comments below and be sure to tune in for The Bachelorette Season 16 premiere on Tuesday, Oct. 13!
