Bachelorette 15 - Jed Wyatt - **Sleuthing Spoilers**

I don't think he has a chance in he** to be Bach (it's clearly going to be Peter or Mike), but it does seem like people are creating some kind of Tyler vs. Jed narrative to prop the former up. Which is bizarre because they're best friends. It reminds me of Jef vs. Arie. Both were exactly the same, that's why they were best friends. But each fan base pretended that their guy was so much better. It's just strange to me. 

IMO.

What bothers me is that why did Jed got no intro versus Tyler, Peter, and Luke? Peter is understandable. IMO prods want him to be the next bachelor and pushing in this direction. Luke, we know why. But Jed? There is no reason. It looks hidden to me.

I read an article that Hannah did not have Tyler on her radar before their 1-1 on episode 4. That means to me that she did not fell for his words during the picnic at the meet and greet. I saw the same vibe as Mike 1-1, friend zone and nice in the eyes and good kissers with banters and fun. I do see a friend turning into boyfriend turning into lover turning into a fiancé. I see the potential of this but on the other hand, Hannah said that she had to force herself to give a chance to the others. So I do not think about ep5 she was there yet. She was almost done with Luke but not yet.

Versus Jed, I felt it was a real date. They did nothing but walking, visiting, had fun in a photo booth, danced in the street. And Hannah was just happy, no drama background, just enjoying herself. I think she even pictures herself so much that she asked him where would she stand in the real world after the show.... that is a MAJOR question for me. She is projecting. She is thinking about the future.

for me, he enjoyed kissing them and I have to admit that this year I do see a lot of very handsome men versus other seasons. Her top 4 are truly handsome but the other guys too. So I think the round of kissing we saw on episode 5 was hannah enjoying the moment being woe by handsome guys and trying to let go of the drama behind.

Right now I think Jed was close #2 with Luke still in her system but Tyler was growing on her. She is a lucky girl because I do not see any of them fake. She has this South Belle vibe that all guys want to protect and love. But the one who will truly understand her will win.

I wonder what will be the hassle for the F1? we always admit that they must struggle at FD. For Jed it is easy, his father will be the struggle. For Tyler? I wonder.

It's almost time for the latest season of "The Bachelorette," and a Knoxville native will soon take a chance at winning the love of Hannah Brown.

Knoxville's Jed Wyatt, 25, is one of 30 contestants vying for Brown's affection on the reality show, which will kick off with a two-hour premiere at 8 p.m. Monday on ABC.

Here are five things to know about Wyatt.
1. He grew up in the Smoky Mountains

It turns out Wyatt and country icon Dolly Parton have something in common.

In Wyatt's online ABC bio, it says he grew up in the Smoky Mountains and mentions it's also the birthplace of Parton.

Wyatt's Facebook profile lists his hometown as Knoxville, but he doesn't live there anymore. Both ABC and his Facebook confirm that Wyatt calls Nashville home now.

It seems like Wyatt has strong family bonds, too. His little sister is his biggest fan, according to his ABC bio, and she thinks he and Brown are a perfect match.

2. Jed Wyatt is a singer/songwriter

Perhaps Wyatt's move to Nashville was influenced by his career as a singer/songwriter.

Wyatt has a Facebook page and website dedicated to his music career. He's released three singles on Spotify: "Misery," "Vacation" and "Let Me Dream."

His style features pop and acoustic sounds; he plays acoustic guitar, and it turns out he can rap, too.

Wyatt can rap Nicki Minaj's verse in Trey Songz's "Bottoms Up" flawlessly, according to his ABC bio, which also says he can shoot rubber bands with incredible accuracy.

3. He's a male burlesque dancer

Based on an Instagram post from Nashville-based account @thingsofstone, Wyatt danced at Nashville's Music City Male Revue, a male burlesque club.

The account tagged Wyatt's Instagram account in the post and photo, which features a shirtless Wyatt and promotes the venue.

Music City Male Revue features hour-long PG-13 choreographed burlesque shows with male performers, according to its website.

4. His last relationship ended badly

Wyatt's ABC bio gives some insight into his personality and also highlights a past heartbreak.

The bio said Wyatt is adventurous and seeks "a forever type of love."

"Jed finds it easiest to express his feelings and be vulnerable through his music," the bio said.

Wyatt's last relationship caused him a great deal of heartache, according to the bio.

"But after his last relationship ended terribly, Jed (Wyatt) stopped making music and said it was one of the hardest times in his life. Will Hannah (Brown) be able to help this songbird sing again?" the bio said.

5. Spoiler alert ...

You won't find these details in Wyatt's ABC bio.

Just a few weeks ago, Brown and Wyatt were spotted in Knoxville's Market Square together while filming for "The Bachelorette."

In past seasons of the show, the final four contestants return to their hometown for a segment, so that could be why Wyatt and Brown were seen in Knoxville.

"The Bachelorette" is known for taking its contestants on travel dates, so that could be another reason.

The real life friends I have who watch this (faaaaaaar less invested - smart women ) are all unspoiled. Tyler is just now on their list of people they think are contenders, but it took until his date last week for them to even notice him. All of them still think Jed is F1. They aren’t that smart with this show though, and none of them have put in the extensive “research” like I have through the years. #imsad

Except in this case the Tyler fan base is like the peter (Rachel) base... huge.  And Jed like Bryan... we know who was the real F1 all along.

But I get the same feeling except Bryan and peter hated each other.

I see what you are saying and understand it.  However, to say that the female fans are always the ones that are touchy-feely with the male contestants feels a little like putting the blame on the fans rather than acknowledging that Jed (or whoever) might like the female attention and what may come with that.  I have found that from following this franchise that several contestants may profess to wanting a serious relationship, but after being on the show and having so many women praise them that a serious relationship ceases to be as important as "playing the field" for a little while.  Words and actions have to line up for me to take a person seriously.   JMO.
