The Bachelorette’s Men Tell All episode airs on Dec. 14. However, only nine men from Clare and Tayshia’s season were invited leaving all others mysteriously uninvited.

While The Bachelorette season 16 hasn’t quite been the most traditional season of ABC’s long-running fan-favorite, there have been several consistencies for viewers to latch on to including the promise of hometown dates and the Men Tell All special.

Always a favorite, this year’s Men Tell All special once again promises to bring the drama as the men of the season come together to rehash old grievances as they confront one another and the season’s bachelorette, Tayshia Adams.

The episode is sure to bring with it quite a lot of drama; however, as teased by ABC’s new promo and confirmed by Reality Steve the special will feature only a select number of men with many fan-favorites from the season mysteriously uninvited to the event. In fact, only nine men seem to have been invited to the Men Tell All special and the attending men are quite puzzling.

**WARNING: The Bachelorette Men Tell All SPOILERS ahead. 

**If you want to be surprised when watching the episode, don’t read ahead.**

Which Bachelorette contestants will be at the Men Tell All?

As revealed by Reality Steve and seemingly confirmed by ABC in its new promo, only nine men will appear on the Men Tell All special and by the looks of it it seems a large majority of Tayshia’s frontrunners won’t be appearing in this year’s special.

So far, it has been confirmed that Bennett Jordan, Blake Moynes, Demar Jackson, Ed Waisbrot, Jason Foster, Kenny Braasch, Noah Erb, and Yosef Aborady will all be participating in the episode. This leaves just one unknown vacancy on the guestlist which leads us to believe the final man could be yet another contestant still competing — our money being on Riley Christian.

Which of Tayshia’s men won’t be at the Men Tell All?

Heading into the episode, it has been confirmed that Ben Smith, Brendan Morais, Ivan Hall, and Zac Clark will all be MIA with no planned appearance on the Men Tell All special.

It is also unlikely that fans will be seeing Chasen Nick, Eazy Uzoma Nwachukwu, Jay Smith, Joe Park, Montel Hill, Peter Giannikopoulos, or Spencer Robertson during the special when it airs next week.

Why didn’t ABC invite all of the contestants to the Men Tell All?

Although it’s uncertain the exact reason ABC only invited a limited number of men to the Men Tell All special, the most likely explanation is the limited guest list is connected to the ongoing pandemic. With travel restrictions and needs for quarantining before filming, it’s likely that the eliminated men who did not appear were unable to attend due to either an inability to quarantine in enough time, over travel concerns, or other personal reasons.

Will Clare and Dale be at the Men Tell All?

As far as we can tell, neither Clare Crawley nor Dale Moss will appear during the Men Tell All special; however, there is always a chance ABC might surprise fans.
