Bachelorette 16 - Clare Crawley - Potential Lead -*Sleuthing Spoilers*

Discuss / sleuth potential contestants.

A Reddit poster said their fiance's brother made it to final casting weekend but just found out he didn't make the final cut and was told it's because they're going for an older cast this season (he's 26). Could've just been a lie/excuse they made up, but something to keep in mind.

@Hawaii Girl Ugh. i am all for an older group, but I can't help but remember that Ashley I dropped the Clare Crawly name the other day on Access. I am NOT ready for that.

@Doggoneit Yeahhh, don't worry, it will not be Clare Crawley  The same Clare/Kristina/Danielle M names are dropped every year. It's going to be Kelsey (this news about an older cast and Mills' comments about her on Bachelor Party make me lean this way even more) or Hannah B, IMO. I just don't see how in the last 20 minutes of a live ATFR discussing Peter's season and Peter's women, they could turn around and bring out someone on stage who hasn't been relevant for years

Kelsey has not given me potential lead vibes at all. But LZ mentioned her and asked for comments. So they are for sure testing the waters. I just hope HB is offered some great gig on TV before they push her to do it again. She has been ratings gold for them.

Here's her IG details. It would be interesting to keep an eye out on who she follows for example, Cary Fetman.  I see the second to last person she followed is a producer /casting director that doesn't appear to be bachelor related, but I didn't snoop around long.

Hey guys, Opal here. One year ago this week I sleuthed 3 potential contestants for season 15 of the Bachelorette. Two of which made it on the show (Tyler and Cam). I'm back with a possible contestant for season 16. I'll say this, sleuthing is a little tricky this year because of the Bachelor Live. The stage stage show casting is happening at the same time Bachelorette casting is going on. With that said, last year reddit and Instagram spoiler accounts didn't properly site this forum after I posted about Tyler and Cam. Please know if you lurk here and post info elsewhere, then just say where you got it from. Thanks.

Good find. He does seem to be part of final casting process because he followed Hannah B, Madi, Hannah Ann and Kelley (and Nick V) all recently.

@Opal so glad you are sleuthing this season! Thanks for the contestant so far! As always I add two ** to the title for those sleuthed by our forum.

I will create threads (during commercial of MAFS )
