The Wildest Revelations From the ‘Bachelorette’ Season 16 Bios
Season 16 of The Bachelorette is less than two weeks away — and ABC is finally giving Us a closer look at Clare Crawley’s (and Tayshia Adams) suitors.
Chris Harrison introduced the 31 men competing for Clare’s heart on the reality TV series on Tuesday, September 29. While some of the contestants were part of the original lineup, released in March before the coronavirus pandemic forced the network to postpone production, other suitors were introduced for the first time on Tuesday.
Us Weekly confirmed in August that Clare, 39, stopped filming season 16 at the La Quinta resort in Palm Springs early because she was in love with one of her suitors. ABC subsequently called in Tayshia, 30, to pick up where she left off.
“We saw a lot of people on set. Becca [Kufrin] and JoJo [Fletcher] and Wells [Adams] was on set,” the host told Entertainment Tonight on Tuesday, playing coy. “We brought a lot of friends in to help us out this season.”
While Wells was spotted bartending on set of the show, Us broke the news that JoJo filled in for Harrison for a series of episodes.
“I was there helping out Chris, who had to take a little bit of time off to go be with his son going to college,” the season 12 Bachelorette, 29, told Us exclusively on our “Here for the Right Reasons” podcast. “I jumped right into a mix of a whole bunch of things going on without really knowing anything that had gone on. So, it was definitely crazy.”
JoJo added, “The episodes that I was a part of, I can tell you, are going to be very good. This whole season is going to be very crazy and dramatic. I’m sure everyone’s heard of it before, but it really will be! And it was fun.”
In addition to drama, it’s possible both women may find love as Tayshia previously declared she wanted older contestants if she was ever to be named the lead — and Clare is the oldest Bachelorette in the show’s history.
“I require a little bit more life experience, someone who really knows who they are and still aren’t trying to figure themselves out,” Tayshia told Vulture in 2019. “Show up, or get out. No bulls—t, let’s go, I’m trying to find a husband!”

Hopefully Clare (or Tayshia) like to work out because the one “non-negotiable in Demar’s life is his passion for spin.”

ABC notes that Jeremy is the “oldest contestant ever to come on The Bachelorette at 40. That’s not the only thing he has in common with Clare, however, as he loves that “she talks to raccoons and he can’t wait to get in on the conversation,” referring to the hairdresser confiding in a raccoon on season 1 of Bachelor in Paradise.

“Anyone who says glasses aren’t sexy clearly hasn’t met Jordan C.,” the New York City resident’s bio reads, before quickly pivoting to a serious matter. “When Jordan C. was 8 years old, his father suddenly passed away and Jordan became the man of the house, a responsibility he took very seriously at the time and still does to this day.”

ABC may need to hire Kenny to help book talent for future seasons as he “creates and manages boy band cover bands.”
His bio reads, “This handsome man about town is ready to say ‘Bye Bye Bye’ to the single life. … He’s waited this long to find the right woman and isn’t about to just settle for anyone, ‘This I Promise You!’”
ABC/Craig Sjodin
It’s a good thing there aren’t any museums at La Quinta in Palm Springs because “the ability to carry a good conversation means a lot to Riley, but please don’t ask him to go to a museum with you because that’s not going to happen.”
ABC/Craig Sjodin
“Tyler C. is a badass lawyer who says he is a businessman by day and cowboy by night,” his bio reads. “Now, he just needs a cowgirl to ride off into the sunset with.”
ABC/Craig Sjodin
The second Tyler on the cast has a Hollywood connection, as Tyler S. is the brother of country singer Granger Smith.
“He says he is single because it’s hard to date while touring and he’s not attracted to fangirls or groupies,” his bio reads. “His personal rule is that if he can’t show his mama a girl’s Instagram, then he can’t date her … and Mama’s approval is everything to Tyle
