We are just under a month until The Bachelorette Season 17 commences, and needless to say, we’re super excited about it.

The Bachelorette Season 17 will give us catty fights from the men, the accusations of girlfriends back at home, the yelling and screaming–and we love it all. And most importantly, we love Katie Thurston!

Let’s dive into the world of The Bachelorette, Season 17, and see which of Katie’s men will be early contenders and/or front-runners, which men will be the craziest of the group, which men will potentially be the ones to go under-the-radar, and which guys seem like they’re just simply too good and strong and buff and “manly” to be there (A.K.A. the b*****s of the group).

Personally, I think that Katie is going to make a great Bachelorette. Her wit, her humor, and her take-no-s*** attitude that we all saw in Matt James‘ season will really carry her throughout. Not to mention, she’ll let all of the men know not to mess around and to only be there for her and to also respect the process/journey alike.

Be sure to drop us some comments down below on your thoughts on who you think will be early contenders. Will Katie make a great Bachelorette? Will her season flop? Will there be some dramatic drama with all of the men (well duh–of course there will be)? Will someone have a girlfriend (or wife) back at home? Will someone bring their dog with them? Who will have the greatest entrance and limo exit all at the same time?

If you have seen the cast thus far and also have some early predictions, let us know down in the comments for some fun debating! Let’s meet The Bachelorette Season 17 guys!
