Who's Hunter Montgomery on Katie Thurston's 'Bachelorette' Season?
Things I didn't expect to see on my TV this year: A bunch of dudes sprinting around in wrestling outfits with cut-outs on their butts. Truly a haunting image, but also exactly what's going down on The Bachelorette in an episode that is perhaps the most! dramatic! ever! due to one Hunter Montgomery. At least that's what ABC wants us to think, since they gave Hunter a mini "villain edit" in a recent preview. Based on said preview (watch it below), Hunter gets into some drama with Blake Moynes during Monday's episode, and we see him say "I don't wanna sound cocky, but you may see some aggressiveness." The preview also makes it seem like Hunter rams into Blake and inadvertently injures him, which isn't greatespecially since medics showed up and everything. But as YouTube channel Bachelor Fan Take points out, if you watch the preview carefully, you'll see Hunter wearing a rose in his lapelindicating he actually won the group date! So yeah, there's clearly more to his narrative than meets the eye. Either way, Hunter seems like a super nice and sweet person off-screen, and the time has come to get to know him better! Starting.
