Meet 'The Bachelorette's' Suitors
Pro athletes, teachers vie for DeAnna Pappas' heart
A trio of professional athletes, a pair of teachers and an oyster farmer have won the right to compete for a woman's heart on the coming season of "The Bachelorette."ABC unveiled the 25 guys who will woo recent "Bachelor" finalist DeAnna Pappas on the fourth installment of "The Bachelorette," which debuts Monday, May 19. Pappas became known to viewers last fall when Bachelor Brad Womack picked her as his final woman -- but then opted not to propose or continue their relationship.
The viewer response led the network to resurrect "The Bachelorette" for the first time since 2005 -- when, coincidentally, Jen Schefft opted to stay single rather than pick one of her two final guys.
Among the 25 men who will meet Pappas in the May 19 premiere are three who are described as professional athletes: snowboarder Jesse, basketball player Graham and football player Ryan. Because the network has released only the first names of the contestants, it's tough to check just where and how well the three ply their trades.
The other contestants include a single father, a personal trainer, a barber-shop owner, a chef and two guys named Brian W, who will have their home states appended to their names for as long as they're on the show. In a slight twist on the show, DeAnna will invite three guys at a time to live with her in the mansion rented for this season. The rest of the guys will have to make do with an "unspectacular bunkhouse" nearby.
