After Andi Dorfman rejected Venezuelan stud Juan Pablo Galavis, she became the new Bachelorette and has been give a couple dozen new men to chose from. It's the usual collection of 20 and 30 year old good looking, well built, successful young guys with brawny shoulders and six-pack abs and personalities that range from "aw shucks" to aggressive romeos. Already handicappers are picking five that stand out and have the best shot at going the distance with Andi.
Interestingly enough, there was almost a sixth in the person of Chris Bukowski. Fans of the show will remember Bukowski as the sexy hothead that almost won the heart of Bachelorette Emily Maynard and then went on to scorch "Bachelor Pad" by using his undeniable masculinity to hook up with -- and then dump -- three gorgeous women to get to the finals. A smoldering "badboy" who rumbled with the other guys and romanced all the women, Bukowski became an internet sensation. Attempting to get on the show, he crashed the premier and almost mixed it up with Security until Andi sent word that he should go. Too bad -- this popular stud would have made a serious play for Andi while keeping the other guys on their toes.
First of the five is Chris Soules, a young farmer from Iowa. At 32, he's a clean cut, boy-next-door type with a football lineman's build and a million dollar smile. Andi took him to the racetrack and, since he showed up in shorts and a tee shirt, she needed to dress him properly. Watching him strip to his underwear and change into a designer suit complete with sexy purple socks, it was easy to see how this corn-fed adonis got his first rose.
Marquel Martin is a 25-year old African-American from Vegas who specializes in making Andi laugh -- when he's not showing off his sculpted body for her viewing pleasure. A former college football standout, Marcus stands out not only physically, but with his wit and humor. It's not all laughs though, as the brother can't help discussing his strength and ability to "dominate" the competition. With that impressive body and winning personality, Marquel may be the first black stud to go all the way in what has been so far a "white guys only" show.
Marcus Grodd, 24, practices sports medicine when he's not looking hot in a speedo. Even in a shirt and jeans, with his sexy chest hair spilling out from an open collar, you can see this guy is "all man." Andi thinks so too and already has awarded him a rose for his "Top Gun" performance in Navy Whites.
Josh Murray says his favorite movie is "Gladiator" and it's easy to see why. This modern day warrior battled on both professional baseball fields and in semi-pro football. As result, the 6'2" jock has the well-muscled body of a champion athlete which he shows off in skin tight shirts every chance he gets. Even the other guys have commented on his physical presence, calling him a "stud," which doesn't bother him one bit. He knows he's hot and, at a male strip routine for charity, had an evil grin when he said "I'm going to get naked for Andi." He came very close to doing just that and Andi loved it.
Finally, Cody Sattler, 28, finishes out the front runners. Cody is a personal trainer and his physique proves it. With the look of a true muscleman, Cody is no stranger to using his body to get what he wants. At the same strip routine, Cody promised to "bare everything" and when the time came, he posed and strutted in just a g-string and coat of oil. Flexing his massive arms in front of Andi, he made it clear that he was the guy to beat and if she doesn't chose him, there's already talk that this prime physical specimen may wind up being the next Bachelor.
As the show progresses, it's possible that other guys may emerge as top contenders for Andi's affections, but right now these five -- and maybe even Mr. Bukowski -- are the ones to watch.
