The Bachelorette ABC

It’s "Bachelorette" season! Get ready for tears, hot men, cheesy dates, and most of all, jacuzzi’s. After getting her heart broken by Lyin’ Ben, JoJo Fletcher is returning to the Bachelor mansion in search of a ring in "The Bachlorette."

After a day of stalking researching the 26 men vying for JoJo’s heart, here is everything you should know about them!

Alex, 25

Alex currently serves in the Marines and let’s be honest, that’s incredibly swoon-worthy. He’s an all-around guy who describes himself as being laid back, self-motivated, and even saved someone from a burning car. He also has a twin brother, which realistically is sort of a buy one, get one free deal for JoJo.

Ali, 27

Ali is a bartender from California who describes himself as a party-starter with a laid-back attitude. To him, marriage means a “partnership in life, with limitless love and passion.” Plus, he surfs, plays the piano, and owns the most adorable dog named Hudson! Swoon.

Brandon, 28

With an occupation like hipster, Brandon clearly isn’t going anywhere. He makes up for it by describing his mother as the person he loves most in the world and describing his biggest date fear as being so attracted to a girl, he can’t be himself. I relate. He may not be a stunner, but Brandon definitely has some redeeming qualities.

Chad, 28

Chad is a luxury real estate agent from Tulsa, Oklahoma. He was formerly in the Marines and is incredibly attractive. Unfortunately, he ruins it by being self-absorbed. When asked what his greatest achievement was, Chad answered with “being born good looking.” Yeah, I’ll pass.

Chase, 27

Chase is the literal embodiment of an All-American guy. He’s honest, ambitious, and looks up to his dad. He drives a truck, has an adorable little nephew, and a puppy named Hammer. He has a sense of humor and a serious love for lions. When asked what marriage means to him, he describes it as "One girl, one commitment-- for the rest of forever.” Chase…please take me away.

Coley, 27

Coley is a real estate agent from Chicago. There’s nothing really note worthy about him. His favorite holiday is the Fourth of July because ‘Merica. At least, he has that going for him.

Insta: CMKNUST

Daniel, 31

Daniel is a male model, which isn’t surprising since he sports an amazing bod. Unfortunately, Daniel also knows he has a great bod and as such, uses the Lamborghini as a reference when describing himself. When asked if he had any tattoos, he replied with “No – same reason you don’t put stickers on a lambo.” Yeah, no, thank you.

Derek, 29

Derek is a commercial banker. The most outrageous thing he’s done is drunkenly skinny-dip in the ocean when sharks were active. He has a fear of fluffy kittens and cucumbers, but we can overlook that due to his amazing singing voice!

Insta: dpayth

Evan, 33

Evan. Wow. I don’t know how to take this guy. He’s an erectile dysfunction expert who loves booty dancing and apparently is very in tune with his sexual energy. He also has relationship deal-breakers that include girls who talk too much, have serious food allergies, and have chipped nails. Pass.

Insta: theebass

Grant, 27

Grant is a firefighter by day and model by night from California. Honestly, this man could save me from a burning building any day. He describes his best attribute as being good at making people smile. He seems great until you scroll down his Instagram and realize he still has pictures up of his ex. What’s up with that, Grant?

Insta: grant_kemp

Jake, 27

Jake is a landscape architect from California. In five years, he sees himself married to JoJo with a kid. He seems nice but he will definitely fade into the background this season.

James F., 34

James is a boxing club owner. He views marriage as a huge life-long commitment and loves his sister’s kids. He's a great guy, but a bit of a snooze-fest.

James S., 27

James is a "Bachelor" Superfan. I’m not kidding, that’s his occupation. Seems like this nice guy is going to finish last. There's nothing really interesting about him, but best of luck, James!

James Taylor, 29

James is a singer-songwriter who serenades JoJo when he comes out of the limo. This country boy from Texas is great with a guitar, loves himself a good ol' cold beer, and is a huge sports fan. He’ll definitely make it past the first rose ceremony.

Jonathan, 29

Jon is a technical sales rep from Vancouver. He has a beautiful little niece who he adores and believes his best attributes include his sense of humor, calm demeanor, and hair. Like Grant, he also has pictures of his ex on Insta, but in his defense, he barely updates.

Jordan, 27

Jordan is probably the most known contestant so far. He was a former professional quarterback and is the brother of NFL star Aaron Rodgers. He definitely has a sense of humor and admires his grandparents. Keep an eye on this one, he'll go pretty far.

Robby, 27

First up. Robby is a FLORIDA STATE ALUMNI. That alone makes him my favorite thus far. He is a former competitive swimmer who values family and is a hopeless romantic. It also helps that he’s extremely easy on the eyes.

Sal, 28

Sal is an operations manager. He believes his best attributes include his humor, dependability, and honesty. In addition to fearing snakes, Sal dislikes the Kardashians: brownie points.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
