Reality Steve wrote on his blog this week, “I’m hearing this season they have way more guys flown out there than will eventually end up on the show, and that’s to have other guys ready to go if any test positive for COVID upon arrival. But in typical Bachelor fashion, it’s not like they’re telling any of the ‘extra’ guys they flew out that they’re basically just a standby person.”

However, no one knows just how many extras will be waiting in the wings at the La Quinta Resort & Club in Palm Springs, California and just how long they will be there before giving up hope on getting their chance to be on the show.
