ABC has unveiled 29 of the 30 men competing for the affections of Katie, the woman who famously arrived to Matt James’ season armed with a vibrator.
While the identity of the 30th man remains shrouded in mystery, the individual in question appears to be Blake Moynes, the contestant who vied for the hearts of Clare Crawley and Tayshia Adams last season on The Bachelorette.
