The Bachelorette Season 17: Early Front-Runners/Top Contenders

#1: Aaron, 26

Hometown: San Diego, California

Profession: Insurance Agent

He may be the tallest guy of the bunch, sitting tall at 6’4″, and also a former swimmer at UC San Diego! He looks like somebody Katie would vibe with on the show. He’s a dog lover, so for me, he’s already winning the game right there. He seems like a chill dude who’s ready to find love and win Katie’s heart, love, attention, and affection.

#2: Andrew S., 26

Hometown: Waukegan, Illinois

Profession: Pro Football Player

He’s actually a Waukegan/Chicagoland area native, being that he’s former franchise contestant, Clay Harbor’s, cousin. He currently resides in Austria, playing football for the Dacia Vienna Vikings; he formerly played for Winona State University. He seems like a nice guy, and if he’s anything like his cousin Clay, then he’s probably gonna be a quiet one and may creep his way onto the Under-the-Radar list as well (we shall see and only time will tell).

#3: Christian, 26

Hometown: Boston, Massachusetts

Profession: Real Estate Agent

Among the tons of men on The Bachelorette Season 17 that have some sort of profession to do with the world of real estate, Christian calls himself a “professional optimist”, according to his Instagram. In all honesty, when guys label themselves as something, it doesn’t always work out too well for them. At least according to the show’s history, am I right? He seems fun, and he’s (kinda) cute.

#4: Garrett, 29

Hometown: Salinas, California

Profession: Software Marketing Manager

He’s a former baseball player over at Sonoma State University, and now works for Adobe. He was almost on the Under-the-Radar list, but he ultimately ended up here, although I’m not sure why…

#5: Marcus, 30

Hometown: Portland, Oregon

Profession: Real Estate Broker

Besides being yet another one of Katie’s suitors being a real estate professional, he’s also a DJ and a model (can we ever trust the models?). I’m willing to give Marcus a chance, but even though I think he could be an early contender, I’m not on his bandwagon quite yet (maybe mid-show).
