We watched Brad Womack say goodbye to Ashley Hebert in South Africa and cheered when she was named the next Bachelorette. We’ve all speculated about what kind of guy will get Ashley’s final rose, and we’re excited to review the 25 bachelors on her season and make some early picks!
But before we speculate about Ashley’s Mr. Right, here’s a refresher on what this fourth year dental student is looking for in a man. She told People magazine that she was hoping to find a guy that “makes me feel comfortable, somebody with a positive outlook on life, who’s going to be supportive and loyal.”
With that said, here’s who we think may have what it takes to be rewarded with Ashley’s final rose:
Blake, a 27-year-old dentist from Colorado seems like a natural pick for Ashley. They’re both passionate about dental health and close in age. Given that Blake’s most romantic date was at a natural hot springs, we feel confident he’ll know how to bring romance into his relationship with Ashley!
However, West, a 30-year-old lawyer, also seems compatible with Ashley. West says he’s equally comfortable in the country and in the city, and we saw Ashley question where she wanted to eventually settle down last season, as she grew up in rural Maine but now calls Philadelphia home. West was also asked what he would bring to a deserted island and he provided an extremely practical and wise answer: a boat!
We also think William, a 29-year-old sales consultant, is a strong contender. Not only is he handsome, but humor is obviously important to him, as he sees himself doing stand-up comedy in five years! And since Ashley is a bubbly and fun woman (as well as a hardworking one), a man who can make her laugh could bring much to her life.
Here’s the full list of all season 7’s bachelors:
Ames, 31, a portfolio manager from New York, NY
Anthony, 28, a butcher from Wyckoff, NJ
Ben C., 28, a lawyer from New Orleans, LA
