Teddi Wright is one of the standout contestants who will be vying for Clayton Echard's love over the course of The Bachelor season 26 on ABC. In 2022, Clayton will be introduced to as many as 31 women on the show who have different ages, careers, and backgrounds. Producers have tried to frame Clayton as an "underdog" who deserves a second chance in the Bachelor Nation franchise, but certain fans aren't buying into that storyline so far.
During his stint on The Bachelorette season 18, Clayton was mostly perceived as a cast member that didn't have a lot of chemistry with Michelle Young. Once they finally got a one-on-one date for the two of them, their overall lack of chemistry became even clearer. However, despite being sent home in eighth place during Michelle's season, Clayton was still chosen by producers to become the next Bachelor. Now, fans are very curious to see how his journey as a lead will play out in season 26.
Coming all the way from Highland, California, Teddi Wright will be looking for love during Clayton's season. She is only 24 years old, which makes her one of the youngest cast members featured in season 26. Teddi works as a surgical unit nurse. Given that Clayton is a medical sales representative, he might bond with Teddi over working in the healthcare industry. Per ABC, Teddi is a hopeless romantic who loves eating pasta and getting massages. Despite being raised in a religious household, Teddi seems to live life on her own terms. She also isn't scared of asking a few tough questions during a first date.
Teddi only has 2,000 Instagram followers on her profile @teddiwright, so she is a pretty anonymous contestant going into The Bachelor. On social media, Teddi has shared plenty of pictures hanging out with her friends and family members. There is no doubt that she lives life to the fullest and enjoys each moment as it comes. Teddi's fun-loving personality might be a good match for Clayton, but considering that he didn't reveal too much during Michelle's season, it's unclear if he prefers a certain type of woman and what that type actually is. In the meantime, Bachelor Nation can get to know Teddi on social media and prepare for her debut on The Bachelor season 26. Hopefully, this will be a positive experience for her.
Judging by the various previews shared online, Clayton's season will be filled with drama, twists, and heartbreak. Alas, there are hopefully also going to be romantic and hilarious storylines for viewers to follow along. After Matt James' season was hurt by so many problematic contestants, Bachelor Nation is looking forward to better casting choices from the producers.
The Bachelor season 26 premieres Monday, January 3, 2022 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC.
