Below is an introduction to the 25 men that will be vying for Jojo’s heart beginning May 23rd! Who do you think Jojo will fall for?

1. Alex

Jojo Compatibility Rating: 7/10

Alex is a 25 year old, 5’7” U.S. Marine. He considers himself to be self-motivated, loyal, and intuitive. The most outrageous thing he has ever done is “ripped the door off a totaled, burning car and pulled the unconscious driver out to safety.” No big deal. He considers himself a romantic, and states “I love being in love and enjoy having someone look into my eyes and be able to just be themselves.”

From his interview at http://abc.go.com/shows/the-bachelorette/cast/alex it seems clear that he could be a good match for Jojo!

 

2. Ali

Jojo Compatibility Rating: 7/10

Ali is a 27 year old Bartender whose favorite movies are Midnight in Paris, Dumb and Dumber, and Her. He loves it when his date “dresses sexy.” To him, being married means “partnership in life, with limitless love and passion.” Sounds like something Jojo could be looking for.

There wasn’t as much information listed in his interview at http://abc.go.com/shows/the-bachelorette/cast/ali , so it looks like we will be learning more about Ali on the 23rd!

3. Brandon

Jojo Compatibility Rating: 5/10

Brandon is 28 years old, 6’4”, with no tattoos. His occupation is “Hipster,” so he is guaranteed to be an interesting addition to this season. His ideal mate’s personality is “Adventurous, smart, cultural, great sense of humor. Someone who makes people around them better.”

Not quite sure what to think of Brandon yet. Check out Brandon’s interview at http://abc.go.com/shows/the-bachelorette/cast/brandonfor more info!

4. Chad

Jojo Compatibility Rating: 3/10

Chad is a 28 year old, 6’2” Luxury Real Estate Agent with no tattoos. His all-time favorite movies include The Notebook, Runner Runner and Forgetting Sarah Marshall. He seems like a pretty great option for Jojo until he states that his greatest achievement to date is “being born good looking.”

Let’s hope he was joking, otherwise he’s probably not going to be a great match for Jojo. Check out his interview at http://abc.go.com/shows/the-bachelorette/cast/chad!

5. Chase

Jojo Compatibility Rating: 7/10

Chase is 27 years old, 6’3” and a Medical Sales Representative. He has a lion tattoo and his definition of married is “one girl, one commitment – for the rest of forever. Your best friend.” He’s got the “aww” factor already.

Could Chase be the one for Jojo? Read more at http://abc.go.com/shows/the-bachelorette/cast/chase!

6. Christian

Jojo Compatibility Rating: 7/10

Christian is 26, 5’11” and loves it when his date is “adventurous and open to new things.” He is a Telecom Consultant who describes his best friend (of the opposite sex) as “My mother is my best friend. She is my ultimate supporter and has been there every step of the way.” Again with the “aw” factor! Christian could be a good match for Jojo, but we will have to see on the 23rd. Check out more about him at http://abc.go.com/shows/the-bachelorette/cast/christian!

7. Coley

Jojo Compatibility Rating: 6/10

Coley is 27 years old, 6’2” and a Real Estate Consultant! His three best attributes are his honesty, loyalty, and ambition. His favorite movies are Gladiator, The Godfather, and Dazed and Confused. His all-time favorite book is the Harry Potter series, so he already has my vote.

We don’t learn enough at http://abc.go.com/shows/the-bachelorette/cast/coley to really know if he is going to be the one for Jojo, but we will find out next week!

8. Derek

Jojo Compatibility Rating: 8/10

Derek is 29, 6’3” and a Commercial Banker with no tattoos. When asked what marriage means to him, Derek states, “I’ve seen my parents work through life’s challenges and successes for 33 years, so I’m looking for someone ready to give as much as I will to make life fun and fulfilled.” So far, so good Derek!

We know that Jojo likes the tall, dark, and handsome thing, but maybe she’ll go for his “baby blues.” Check out more about him at http://abc.go.com/shows/the-bachelorette/cast/derek!

9. Daniel

Jojo Compatibility Rating: -5/10

Daniel is 6’1”, 31 years old, and works as a Male Model. He doesn’t have any tattoos for the “same reason you don’t put stickers on a lambo.” So right away, we know that Daniel is very humble and only going on the Bachelorette for Jojo. Daniel’s biggest dates fear is “that she doesn’t look like she does in pictures. Or when on a date, she embarrasses me in a restaurant.” So we know he’s pretty much all about himself, especially when he says “I can have good manners and do little things which a girl would love.” Not getting very good vibes, Daniel.  But the cherry on top of his perfect first impression is when he states that he is more than comfortable wearing swimwear in public, because “why have a lambo if you park it in the garage?”

Check out more, if you dare, at http://abc.go.com/shows/the-bachelorette/cast/daniel.

10. Evan

Jojo Compatibility Rating: 0/10

Evan is 33 years old, 5’11” and an Erectile Dysfunction Expert – so he’s going to have a lot to talk about at cocktail parties. If he could be anyone else for a day, he would select Donald Trump “just to see what the heck is in that guy’s head.” His deal breakers when it comes to relationships are girls with chipped nail polish and “girls who talk too much.” He also doesn’t like “narcissists, clingers” or “girls who have serious food allergies” (because that’s totally their fault). With all this being said, Evan considers himself a romantic, stating “I believe I’m in touch with my sexual energy and it’s very powerful and beautiful.”

Evan is going to be very interesting this season if he doesn’t go home on the first night. Check out more about him at http://abc.go.com/shows/the-bachelorette/cast/evan!

11. Grant

Jojo Compatibility Rating: 7/10

Grant is a 6’2”, 27 year old Firefighter with tattoos all over his upper body. His three best attributes are that he his thoughtful, good at making people smile, and that he makes people feel appreciated. His greatest achievement to date is “saving a life” (no big deal).

He seems like a pretty good catch, but we will have to see once Jojo meets him! Check out more at http://abc.go.com/shows/the-bachelorette/cast/grant!

11. Jake

Jojo Compatibility Rating: 7/10

Jake is 27 years old, 6’1” and a Landscape Architect. He’s confident, seeing himself “married to the Bachelorette with our first child” in five years. He has no serious fears of any animals, and no tattoos. His three bets attributes are his humility, intellect, and courage.

13. James S.

Jojo Compatibility Rating: 6/10

James S. is 27 years old, 6’1” and his occupation is Bachelor Superfan. So we could either take that as he is in between jobs, or he could be a CIA Agent that cannot disclose his true place of employment. Anyways, his three best attributes are his loyalty, sense of humor and wit, and intelligence. His favorite movies are Good Will Hunting, The Notebook and Top Gun. He considers himself a romantic, stating “I’ve been intimate with very few women because I think sex is very important and not to be taken lightly. Never had a one-night stand or any intimacy with anyone I haven’t gotten to know for a while.”

16. Jordan

Jojo Compatibility Rating: 9.5/10

Jordan is 27 years old, 6’2” and a Former Pro Quarterback who slightly resembles Shawn Booth. Jordan loves it when his date “wants to do something spontaneous” and hates it when she “doesn’t want to eat in front of [him].” His three best attributes are his humor, energy, and empathy. Jordan admires his grandparents most in the world (aww) because they “are the most loving people and best example of love and selflessness.”

It looks like Jordan has a strong chance at Jojo’s heart! Check out more about him at http://abc.go.com/shows/the-bachelorette/cast/jordan!

17. Luke

Jojo Compatibility Rating: 7/10

Luke is a 6’1”, 31 year old War Veteran with no tattoos. His three best attributes are his competence, patience, and empathy for others.
