Who Are the 2020 Bachelorette Contestants? Meet the Men Vying for Clare Crawley and Tayshia Adams

I'm so ready.

November 6, 2020

After the Bachelorette contestants began arriving at Waldorf Astoria’s La Quinta Resort & Club to film Clare Crawley's season, ABC released a sneak peek at the list of men for her season.

Per Reality Steve, the group no longer included some men who were originally cast. Most notable on that list is Matt James, for obvious reasons, but there were 15 others: Aaron Goodwin, Anthony Witchek, Austin Bouzigard, Bennett Murphy, Bret Engemann, Cameron Duffy, James Clarke, Jake Mills, Matt Grosso, Miles Gully, Nick Eccher, Grant Lewis, Greg Grippo, JP Caruso, and Tyler Cottrill.

Although the reasons for their departures have not been made public, remember that the original group was cast before Crawley was announced as The Bachelorette. Therefore, many of the cast members were 10+ years younger than the 39-year-old lead. Although COVID-19 halted production for months, it did allow the producers time to recast.

That wasn't the only shakeup this season: After Crawley fell for contestant Dale Moss, which was documented in episode four, Bachelor alum Tayshia Adams was brought in to finish her journey.
