published 6 November 2020

If you're here, you'll know that the 2020 season of The Bachelorette (opens in new tab), much like everything else in 2020, did not go to plan. Clare Crawley, the original Bachelorette, left her own season to be with one of her contestants, the extremely handsome Dale Moss (opens in new tab). That's when Tayshia Adams, (opens in new tab) a fan favorite from previous seasons of The Bachelor and Bachelor In Paradise, stepped in to take over from Crawley. When she left, Crawley was down to 16 men—you can see her full cast list here (opens in new tab)—and producers added four more men for Adams specifically. This list is the 20 men that are competing for Adams' heart, down from the original 42 that producers cast for this season, and the 31 that ultimately appeared on Crawley's season. Whew. Are you ready?
