The Bachelorette S15: Unleash the (Hannah) Beast

Chelsea Allyn

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THE NEWEST CAST OF THE BACHELORETTE HAS…been sort of revealed. Not, like, their official bios with all of their information, but merely a slew of hilariously awkward photos of them posing in front of a green screen, and the barest minimum of details possible. Which seems fitting because 1) these fucking yokels all seem so pathetic they don’t even warrant a bio, and 2) the Producers already know this season is going to be a fucking train wreck, so why not just go right ahead and embrace it from the get-go?

Among a sad pile of others, here we have:

  • 2 Connors 

  • 2 Joes and a Joey

  • a John Paul and a Jonathan

  • 2 Lukes

  • 2 Matt Ds and a Matt S and a Matteo

  • 2 Tylers

I can’t wait to forget each and every one of them.  

I can only surmise that the casting call consisted of the Producers realizing they needed a gaggle of contestants the day before Hannah was announced on air, so they ran to the nearest Sig Ep house and just wrangled in the first 32 brothers they found gathered around the nearest keg.

When we actually get their bios I’ll do an update, but for now, let’s judge these fucking losers based solely on their faces and body posture!

  • FYI: He was the boring Luke (or the non-oral-sex-joke making Luke, depending on how you look at it) on The Bachelor finale.

  • Snap Judgement: Wears a fake Rolex and tells everyone he’s the COO of a technology company

  • What I Think He Does for a Living: Started a website ranking women by looks with two of his closest friends (the CEO and CTO, respectively) but doesn’t realize he’s competing in a completely oversaturated field and they’ll lose the $5K loan their parents collectively gave them within the month
