We’re less than a month away from the premiere of Michelle Young’s highly anticipated season of “The Bachelorette.” If the promos are any indication of what’s to come, this fall will be full of romance and drama as Michelle goes from the classroom to handing out roses.

She really said it best in her own post, writing, “This is one class you won’t want to skip!”

A sneak peek at night one shows Michelle’s men doing their best to impress their Bachelorette with some grand entrances — including one suitor coming in on a miniature fire truck and another coming through with basketballs, saying, “Looks like you’ve already got me by the balls.”

While Michelle seemed to enjoy the fun gestures, the Bachelorette is serious about finding love. In the preview clip, she is seen saying, “I’m not going to settle” as co-hosts Tayshia Adams and Kaitlyn Bristowe note that the 30 guys are all “here for you.”

Michelle’s journey as the Bachelorette begins Tuesday, October 19, and now it’s finally time to meet the men competing for her heart.

From a Pizzapreneur to a Yoga Guru to an NFL Player, get to know the group of guys vying for Michelle’s final rose below!
