LA's Most Eligible Bachelors To Compete For Michelle's Heart

LOS ANGELES, CA — Michelle Young's season is already gearing up to be ... the most dramatic season in "Bachelorette" history.

ABC announced the men of Season 18 Monday, and Los Angeles will be represented by four locals: models, athletes, "hopeless romantics" and, of course, actors.

Chris Sutton, 28, West Hollywood

Chris, a commodities broker, is a "Southern gentleman-turned-Califonia beach boy," originally from New Orleans. From his social media presence, Sutton seems like a family man and is no stranger to the camera: There are gorgeous model shots all over his account.

"When Chris S. falls, he falls hard," ABC said in Chris's bio. Watch out Michelle.

Edward Naranjo, 27, Los Angeles

Naranjo is a wellness coach, model and — Oh, no! — an actor. Careful, Edward: that title didn't fare too well for Katie Thurston's second-runner-up, Greg Grippo, last season. He was accused of using the show as a Hollywood audition.

Naranjo has built a pretty significant social media following for himself, which you can only imagine will bring his intentions into question. Keep your eye on Edward.

Rick Leach, 32, Los Angeles

Originally from Ohio, Rick is a medical sales representative for Bioventus, a company that develops products for orthopedic healing. Rick said in his ABC bio that he loves his dog, Nana. He, like many of the others, also seems like no stranger to the camera, with some model shots on his Instagram.

Rick said in his ABC bio that he learned everything he knows about life from the movie "Hitch."

Rodney Mathews, 29, Los Angeles

Rodney is from Rancho Cucamonga but now lives in Los Angeles, where he is a sales representative for Cintas, a corporate uniform and supply company. But this wasn't always the dream. Rodney was an NFL hopeful whose career got cut short by an injury. It's clear Rodney still takes his physique seriously: He said in his bio that he does intermittent fasting on the weekdays.

It seems like Rodney is religious, as he has a Bible verse in his Instagram bio.

Producers appear to think Michelle will like Cali guys. Season 18 will also feature men from Fresno, San Jose, Rocklin and San Diego.

On Matt James' season, Michelle was known for her maturity and how genuine she — and her connection with Matt — was. She became a front-runner the moment she came onto the show and made it to the very end, finishing as runner-up to the controversial Rachel Kirkconnell.

A racist post from Kirkconnell circulated on social media while the show was still airing, an incident that ultimately led to the resignation of the face of the "Bachelor" franchise, Chris Harrison.

Michelle's season will not be without drama. In a classic "Bachelor" nation tease, People released a video of hosts Taysha Adams and Kaitlyn Bristowe telling Michelle one of her men planned out his every move on the show, bringing notebooks full of pictures and plans with him. All this seems to happen on the first night.

Even with petty drama, Michelle is sure to engage in thoughtful conversation as she did on Matt's season about race and her career as an elementary school teacher.
