The Bachelorette Suitors: Who Has Clare Kept Around?

Clare Crawley is getting ready to meet her husband.

And she’ll have quite a few men from whom to choose.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, combined with The Bachelorette producers scrambling to find older men to compete for the 39-year old’s heart, there will be more suitors than ever before on Season 16.

According to Chris Harrrison, a total of 31 men will be housed in a giant California resort — but only one will be chosen as Clare’s potential soulmate.

“There are a lot of rumors flying around,” Chris Harrison has said of The Bachelorette spoilers that claim Crawley will be replaced by Tayshia Adams. “I just want to say right now:

“You may think you know everything but you don’t. It is a season you have to see to believe.”

(UPDATE: This gallery has been adjusted to reflect the men Clare has sent home… and to reveal more about each one she has kept around.)

1. This is Dale!!!!

This is dale
Dale Moss, 31, is from Brandon, South Dakota. He’s a former football player, and Harrison says, “It’s safe to say Dale really leaves his mark early on this season. It’s safe to say I’ve never seen someone leave a bigger impression.” Yes, this is allegedly the man Clare falls so hard for that she leaves before the season is over. He’s a former NFL wide receiver who is closely involved with the Special Olympics and lives in NYC.

2. This is Ben

This is ben
Ben Smith is 29 and is from Indianapolis, Indiana. He’s a big talker and a very long talker. He has over 5,000 Instagram followers and often shares photos on there of him working out.

3. This is Bennett

Bennett Jordan is 37 years old and from Atlanta. Chris Harrison says he’s “50 percent Wall Street, 50 percent Greenwich, CT.”

4. This is Blake Monar

This is blake monar
Blake Monar, 31, is from Rockport, Indiana. He’s a male grooming specialist and he has amazing hair, as you can see. He talks all about it on social media, too, promoting various hair products and often showing off his locks to his 4,000-plus followers.

5. This is Blake Moynes

This is blake moynes
Blake Moynes, 29, is from Burlington, Ontario, Canada. He’s a wildlife manager and owns a falcon. He makes some bold moves and “pushes the envelope,” Harrison says. According to Instagram, Moynes has a rescue dog — and his bio on that platform reads as follows: “Canadian, Wildlife Enthusiast, Lets stop living like we’re the only species on this [Earth] or in time we will be.”

6. This is Brandon

This is brendan
Brandon Goss, 28, is from Cleveland, Ohio. He’s a real estate agent and has over 14,000 followers as a result. Most of his Instagram feed, though, is dedicated to his modeling career. Lots of Blue Steel-like poses on there!

ABC Trailer Teases Suitor Rebellion: "Do We Get a New Bachelorette?"

We’ve reached the beginning of the end… of the hype.

And now we can finally settle in to watch the beginning of Clare Crawley’s actual journey.

At last, right?!?

For several weeks now, ABC has danced around The Bachelorette spoilers that have clearly previewed how Clare Crawley will leave the show after just 12 days of filming because she falls so darn hard for a suitor named Dale Moss.

We all know it’s about to happen.

But producers refuse to come right out and say it.

The latest trailer, however, which aired just 24 hours before Crawley’s debut, takes fans behind the scenes of the unprecedented drama that’s about to unfold.

“I’ve been looking for love my entire life. I’m 39. This might just be my last chance,” Clare says early on, adding of her ring-free left digit: “I promise you: this finger will be no bare no more.”

From there, executives drop a pretty huge hint by cutting right to Crawley meeting Moss for the first time.

“I definitely felt like I just met my husband,” Clare says in a voiceover after gazing into Dale’s gorgeous eyes.

But then things take a decidely more upsetting and dire turn.

We witness Clare saying, “Ahh! Sick, sick!” and crying in the arms of a woman before a contestant angrily criticizes her age.

“I expected way more from the oldest Bachelorette,” he screams.

To what is this guy referring?

We have no idea, but Clare stands up strongly for herself in response.

“I don’t care what I’ve done. To sit there and say you’re the oldest Bachelorette. Guess what, I’m the oldest Bachelorette that’s 39, that’s standing here, that’s single because I didn’t settle for men like that,” she tells the camera.

The trailer then gives us a glimpse at the contestants gathered together … as one says in a voiceover:

“It’s only a matter of time before Clare realizes the truth — that Dale’s maybe not who Clare thinks he is.

Cut to a shirtless Dale is seen cuddling with Clare in a bed. Whoa there!

“I don’t know how you can be so sure so quick,” another suitor says, likely referencing Clare’s feelings for Moss.

“How about the 15 of us walk out?” says another wannabe husband.

As he’s been doing in interviews, Chris Harrison then talks to the men and emphasizes the historic nature of what’s happening this season.

“In the 18 years I’ve been doing this show, we’ve never dealt with anything like this,” the host tells the men.

“There’s also not going to be a rose ceremony tonight. I can’t even fathom how you guys are going to try and process this.”

“I don’t know what that means, like, okay, do we get a new Bachelorette in here?” a contestant asks.

“What the f–k just happened?” says another.

Viewers will soon find out, but Harrison issues a dangerous warning for Crawley at one point.

“The path we’re on right now, it doesn’t end well,” he tells a tearful Clare, “for you, for the guys, for anybody.”

The Bachelorette premieres Tuesday at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.

You guys ready for it?!?

The bachelorette trailer teases suitor rebellion do we get a new

Clare Crawley Meets Dale Moss: Wow, That Dude is My Husband!

In a word?

Hubba. Hubba.

Okay, fine, true: Those are two words.

But they still paint a very clear picture of how Clare Crawley reacts on her very first night of The Bachelorette upon locking eyes with Dale Moss, the suitor numerous reports have confirmed will end up stealing Clare’s heart.

Not just stealing her heart, either.

But blowing up this entire season of the franchise.

As you must have read by now, via any number of The Bachelor spoilers out there, Crawley will become so smitten with Moss in such a short period of time that she and producers will agree that there’s no point in Clare continuing on.

She’ll peace out of the Quinta Resort in California after just 12 days of filming because she knows deep down that Moss is The One — so why pretend otherwise?

On Tuesday night’s premiere, viewers will get to see Crawley meet her numerous contestants … including Moss, a former NFL player from Brandon, South Dakota.

“How are you?” Dale asks, emerging from the limo.

“I’m a hugger, so I’ve got a big hug for you,” he says as wraps her in his arms and lifts her off her feet, way up into the air.

“I needed this,” Clare says in response. “I needed this so bad, you have no idea.”

Moss, who allegedly delved deeply into Clare’s social media posts prior to making her acquaintance, then tells The Bachelorette:

“I really do feel this is going to be special. I can’t wait to see you inside.”

“I agree,” Clare responds. “I can’t wait either. Thank you for the great hug! That was amazing. You’re a good hugger.”

After Moss walks away, the camera lingers on Clare’s face for a bit — and she’s practically drooling, you guys.

“I definitely feel like I just met my husband,” Crawley says via voiceover, in a line clearly dubbed and added in after the scene took place. “I’m shaking!”

ABC has not yet confirmed that Crawley and Moss fall for each other right away, prompting the unprecedented move of actually replacing Crawley with Tayshia Adams just two weeks into the season.

Chris Harrison has, however, teased that this season will be absolutely bonkers.

And not just because filming was delayed due to COVID-19.

Speaking to People Magazine recently, Clare said the postponed schedule was “stressful,” but there was a silver lining.

“There were also honestly so many pros to it getting shut down,” she explained.

“Producers were able to recast some of the guys and get some that were more appropriate for what I was looking for. I wanted a guy who was genuinely there for me. There was a lot of talk about, ‘Oh, I’m the older Bachelorette, are these guys too young?’

“But it was also about: Am I too old for them? It went both ways. So we were able to hone in on what everybody was looking for.”

When opening night at last arrived, it was even more special, Clare told this outlet;

“To see the men standing in a room and know that most of them have the same interests and goals as I do, it really was magical.

“They were all amazing. I could feel it in my bones!”

Check out the sneak peek here see the instant chemistry between Moss and Crawley.

You can almost see the sparks fly!

The Bachelorette Men Threaten to "Walk Out" in Stunning New Promo

In the a new trailer for Clare Crawley’s upcoming season of The Bachelorette, Chris Harrison says what we’re witnessing is “historic.”

But here’s the thing:

He may not be referring to what everyone out there assumes.

By now, through a number of The Bachelorette spoilers that have been confirmed by a number of reliable sources, we know that Crawley only sticks around for 12 days of filming this fall.

Why?

Because she falls so hard for a contestant named Dale Moss that she sees no reason to continue shooting and continue pretending as if any other guy on set has a shot at her heart.

According to a bombshell report, producers even helped convinced Clare to go home early.

Tayshia Adams will be brought in to take over for Crawley and, yes, Harrison has already talked about how crazy and wild the season will be as a result.

(“It is unlike anything we have ever seen on this show before,” the popular host recently teased.

“I know I say that sometimes, but I truly think we have outdone ourselves this time. I think it definitely goes up on the Mount Rushmore of wild seasons of Bachelor and Bachelorette.”)

However, based on this footage depicted here, it appears as if something ELSE unprecedented is about to go down.

Early on, the trailer comes across like every other trailer in The Bachelorette history, with Clare talking excitedly about her journey — and also with Clare kissing a lot of men.

Including one in a blindfold.

But then it takes a turn.

There’s a shot of one of contestants crying and saying “it’s just scary” after Crawley asks someone if everyone there is lying to her.

And then?!?

Another guy can be heard saying, “How about the 15 of us walk out?”

Whoa there, right??? This would be quite the development.

It would also be an understandable development if the other men just found out about Moss and Clare’s feelings for him, you know?

ABC, of course, has remained mum about Clare and Dale — and the related stunner that Adams gets brought in to take over as The Bachelorette.

But it remains an accepted fact at this point, with the only real question centering on whether or not Crawley is actually engaged to Moss right now.

We don’t have that information for fans just yet.

We do know, however, that Clare concludes this trailer in a puddlle of tears, making us think her time as The Bachelorette — as brief as it may end up being — isn’t exactly smooth sailing.

Look for the adventure to begin on Tuesday, October 13 at 8/7c on ABC.

And look at this preview for an emotional, intense andd mysterious glimpse at what’s ahead!

The Bachelorette Promo Preps Viewers for Most Shocking Season EVER

Get ready, Bachelor Nation.

Get set.

And prepare to go totally bananas over the latest promo for Clare Crawley’s upcoming season of The Bachelorette.

As you may or may not have heard by now… okay, let’s be honest, OF COURSE you’ve heard by now if you’re here reading this… Clare is about to embark on a run of epiosdes unlike any in franchise history.

Because she’ll be secluded at a resort in California with her 30 potential husbands, as a result of the coronavirus? Yes.

But also because Crawley will reportedly fall in love with a suitor named Dale Moss almost immediately upon meeting him.

Where will things go from there?

According to Reality Steve, many outlets and all The Bachelorette spoilers we’ve combed through, Crawley and producers will agree that there’s no point in Clare continuing on with the season.

Not once she’s already so smitten, you know?

As a result, Clare will leave and Tayshia Adams will swoop in to take over as The Bachelorette.

But this won’t happen before plenty of emotion is spilled on screen.

In this new preview, for example, Crawley berates one of her contestants.

“Do not talk to me like that!” she screams.

Elsewhere, at least one of the men breaks down in tears.

And still elsewhere, Crawley thanks the Lord for giving her such “fine” men from which to choose a soulmate, and also remarks that she’s in “the perfect place to fall in love.”

Toward the end of the video, Chris Harrison shows up and says the following to Clare:

“Congratulations, you’ve just blown up The Bachelorette.”

No one associated with the show has confirrmed all of these Clare-leaves-and-Tayshia-jumps-in rumors… but they’re not even rumors at this point.

ABC is just dancing around the subject as a way to hype what’s on tap.

And what is on tap?

Only “the most shocking season ever,” this trailer also promises.

Might that actually be true for a change, however? We’ll see!

And you can see what we mean now via the video featured here. Enjoy!

The Bachelorette Spoilers: Did Clare Crawley Really Quit?

By now, you must have read all The Bachelorette spoilers and rumors out there, right?

Heading into the October 13 premiere of Clare Crawley’s season, we’ve heard everything:

Clare falls for Dale Moss! And refuses to leave her hotel room! And quits the show entirely!  And now she’s engaged to Moss! And Tayshia Adams had to swoop in and save the season after producers panicked and got desperate!

Which of these rumors are true?

Which are complete BS?

The man who knows all, Reality Steve, has done his best to answer these questions, providing a primer for the episodes to come and letting fans know what they can expect.

Ready for the ultimate tease? Scroll down now!

1. Did Clare and Dale Really Meet Before Filming?

No, Steve insists. There was no contact of any kind between the star and the suitor prior to the pair meeting at La Quinta Resort & Spa in La Quinta, California.

2. How Did Clare and Dale Fall for Each Other So Quickly Then?

This is dale
Good question. Steve doesn’t have an exact answer. But he does confirm that Clare was drawn to Moss just based on his social media posts and photos. Similarly, Dale made it clear at the outset of the season that he has been a big fan of Crawley’s for years.

3. Okay. But are Clare and Dale Together Right Now?

Clare crawley kisses dale moss
Yes. They are 100% a couple.

4. Did Clare Quit to Be with Moss?

Clare crawley with a special rose
No. Steve says it’s closer to the opposite. Producers saw the sparks between Crawley and Moss and it was mostly their idea for her to stop filming because there was no point in pretending she hadn’t made up her mind.

5. Were Producers Really Left in a Panic?

Clare crawley is the bachelorette in 2020
Not especially. Executives actually feared early on that this would be a boring season due to the isolated location and all the ways the show had to be shot because of COVID-19. Therefore, they were excited to push Clare out the door and tease this huge “twist” as a way to garner attention.

6. Are Clare and Dale Engaged?

Clare on night 1
Not to Reality Steve’s knowledge. Clare remains on location in California, so she hasn’t even spent a ton of time with her chosen suitor.

Bachelor Nation: Which Couples Are Somehow Still a Thing??

The Bachelor and The Bachelorette are TV shows with a clear goal that you don’t need Bachelor spoilers to figure out:

Set up a man or woman with his or her soulmate.

Heck, nearly every season ends with a proposal, right? And yet, over time, almost no proposals end in actual marriage.

By the numbers, few couples from Bachelor Nation last months; let alone years; let alone an entire lifetime together.

Have there been exceptions to this rule?

Oh yeah, just look at Jason and Molly. Or Sean and Cat. Rachel and Bryan. Even Arie and Lauren … or JoJo and Jordan.

Nevertheless, it’s still an arduous, uphill battle.

See Hannah Brown and Jed Wyatt, or Peter Weber and Madison Prewett, whose engagements lasted … days? Hours?

These are unique cases, and yet … not.

The fact is that it’s hard out there for duos spawned by this franchise to make it work. As we saw again this weekend.

Yes, you probably saw that Colton and Cassie broke up too this summer. And now Becca and Garrett are done as well. 

Some people are just meant to be friends.

Will Clare Crawley (or Tayshia Adams) fare any better in 2020, assuming filming resumes and there even is a season?

We hope so. But we doubt it. Anyway …

So looking back through the years, who is still living happily ever after after the final rose was handed out?

Take a look at notable duos from The Bachelor and Bachelorette and see whether they’re still a romantic item now.

1. Colton Underwood and Cassie Randolph

Colton cassie
Colton Underwood and Cassie Randolph, as we mentioned and you probably heard if you’re reading this, broke up in late May 2020. By all accounts, Cassie was The One for Colton from the start, and it appeared that she was along for the ride long after he busted the inaugural nut. Whether they actually make it to the altar was always suspect, however, given the hesitation we’d seen on the show … and some of the bombshells he dropped in his recent memoir … and just the overall odds of reality TV relationships actually lasting. Not good. But hey. They made it over a year and as they said in their joint statement, some people are just meant to be friends instead. No shame in that truth. Of course, given her recent accusations and the restraining order she filed, there may be plenty of shame we’ve yet to learn about.

2. Peter Weber and Madison Prewett

Madison prewett and peter weber
Peter Weber was an iconic disaster on The Bachelor. So much so that it’s hard to decide which of his relationships to even include here. He began his season needing “closure” with Hannah Brown, who returned to the show for multiple episodes … then got engaged to Hannah Ann Sluss on the finale and dumped her a month later (long before the finale actually made it to air). Then Chris Harrison flew to Alabama to set Peter up with runner-up Madison Prewett, who he went public with on the After the Final Rose special. They broke up two days after. Then he got together with Kelley Flanagan, another contestant on his season who didn’t even make it to hometown dates. Good luck to her.

3. Hannah Brown and Jed Wyatt

Jed wyatt photo
This one didn’t come close to working out. Hannah accepted Jed’s proposal… only to find out TWO WHOLE DAYS later that Wyatt had never told her about a quasi girlfriend back at home. She then dumped him. A year later, she said she had doubts even during the proposal itself. Maybe she shouldn’t have put herself through that, but what can you do. The heart wants what it wants and sometimes that’s douchelords.

4. Becca Kufrin and Garrett Yrigoyen

Becca kufrin and garrett yrigoyen engagement pic
Becca Kufrin and Garrett Yrigoyen hit it off from the very start, and after a fairly conventional season of The Bachelorette, they got engaged on the finale. Perhaps the most notable obstacle for this duo came prior to the season, when his Instagram “double-tapping” of some seriously offensive posts and memes came to light. It appeared they were destined to stay on cloud nine, until the spring and summer of 2020, when it appears his support of Blue Lives Matter and their different world views were just too much to overcome. They split August 6.

5. JoJo Fletcher and Jordan Rodgers

Jordan rodgers and jojo fletcher after the final rose
JoJo Fletcher and Jordan Rodgers have been an interesting case, both seemingly over the moon in love and behind the proverbial eight ball since day one. They certainly seem to have weathered whatever storms have been in their path thus far, and enough time has passed that they’re no longer in the “honeymoon” phase that they’ve proven us wrong, for sure. Whether or not they make it to the altar is still an open question, but there’s zero signs of trouble right now, at least publicly. It’s been FOUR YEARS at this point so we have to give them credit. Hey, they even got engaged, again. For whatever that’s worth.

6. Rachel Lindsay and Bryan Abasolo

Rachel lindsay engagement ring
Rachel Lindsay and Bryan Abasolo are a match made in heaven. Bachelor Nation seemed to prefer runner-up Peter Kraus, but Rachel went with the smooth (too smooth for some fans’ liking) doctor from Miami at the last minute. And it worked out for them! These two got married in August 2019!

Clare Crawley Blows Up The Bachelorette in Dramatic New Promo

Clare Crawley is about to go boom.

Actually, to be more precise, Clare Crawley is about to go KA-BOOM!

ABC has released a new trailer for the new season of The Bachelorette — and it makes the following more clear than ever before:

We’re in for an unprecedented run of episodes from this long-running franchise.

“Drama this soon is a little bit crazy,” the 39-year old hairstylist says earlier in the teaser that dropped on Monday, September 14 during the season 29 premiere of Dancing With the Stars.

The network then treats us to a number fo strained puns, talking about CLARE-ity, mentioning a need for producers to CLARE-ify what the heck is going on and ciiting a desire for CLARE-ification.

The video also cites how viewers need “top-secret Clare-ance” before finding out exactly what will unfold this season.

These are all not-so-subtle references, of course, to Crawley allegedly falling so hard for a suitor named Dale Moss that she figures there’s no point in continuing on with filming.

According to dozens of outlets and all The Bachelorette spoilers we can find, Clare therefore leaves the California set of the show and Tayshia Adams gets brought in to finish out the season.

Crazy, right?!?

At one point in this new promo, Crawley says, “I’m so falling in love with you” before telling another man to “get out of here!”

This Bachelorette previews also features one contestant breaking down in tears, Crawley crying and a contestant getting kissed while wearing a blindfold.

KINKY!

In the first true glimpse at Clare leaving the series long before the season is over, meanwhile, we see her sitting down across from Chris Harrison.

“Congratulations, you’ve just blown up The Bachelorette,” the beloved host says cryptically.

At this point, however, we all know what he means, right?

Ahead of the program’s October 13 premiere, Crawley opened up about her season, which was filmed at La Quinta Resort & Club in Palm Springs, California, amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

“It’s different in the best way possible,” the Bachelor in Paradise alum told Harrison during an appearance on the September 7 installment of The Bachelor: The Greatest Seasons — Ever!

She then said that this season’s isolated location actually worked out very well for her in terms of what she’s looking for in a soulmate.

“I want somebody who is not excited about traveling to the wonderful locations, which is great and awesome to be able to go do those things, which I’ve done before,” explained Clare.

“But this is more of what I’m looking for — just one-one-one connection or multiple connections.

“And just having the time to get to know each other way better and not having to focus on anything greater than that. It’s the most important thing.”

Season 16 of The Bachelorette premieres on ABC on Tuesday, October 13 at 8/7c.
