Biographies have been published for all 26 of the contestants on the upcoming season of The Bachelorette, starring JoJo Fletcher as the Bachelorette. In these detailed accounts of 26 lives, portraits are painted of 26 different people who would love to marry JoJo.
Early frontrunners are Brandon, age 28, whose occupation is listed as "hipster," and Will, 26, who says he would enjoy trading places with John Mayer for a day. Evan, 33, is an "erectile dysfunction expert," and considers chipped nail polish a "dealbreaker." Another gentleman refers to himself as a "lambo" in one answer, and then to his genitalia as a "lambo" in a later answer. One white contestant regrets a period of his life in which he dressed "thuggish." These isolated facts give us a very poor idea of the group as a whole (I hope).
the bachelorette is a show about a hot group of people, not individuals
Of course the best way to learn about someone is to ask about their favorite movies. Each of The Bachelorette contestants provided three of their top films, with the exception of Daniel, who could only think of one movie he likes. I don't especially care to know what each of these men's individual choices say about their personalities, as The Bachelorette is a show about sexy excess, not people. I would rather know what their choices say about them as a group. Here comes some data science!
The Bachelorette premieres May 23rd on ABC. You can watch The Bachelorette contestants' favorite film, Gladiator, for a mere $2.99 on virtually any video-streaming service, if you're interested in getting a gist for their collective personality before the show airs.
