Following the drama of this season’s finale, The Bachelorette’s Jed Wyatt is returning to his pre-show job at a male burlesque club in Nashville.
Even if you didn't watch the latest season of ABC's reality dating show, you might've seen a story or two about the drama that went down between show "winner" Jed Wyatt and lead Hannah Brown post-finale. It was one season that truly lived up to host Chris Harrison describing it as "the most dramatic season ever." The abridged story of what went down was that Brown came down to her final two choices: Tyler Cameron and Jed Wyatt. Brown chose Wyatt, Wyatt proposed, and the pair were engaged. Except what Wyatt failed to mention was that he had a girlfriend before coming on the show that he never broke up with. Viewers were suspicious of Wyatt when in the first few weeks of the season he admitted to Brown that he initially applied for the show in order to promote his music career - which seemed evident considering he took every opportunity to show off his guitar playing skills - but once the news of his girl back home surfaced, fans were shocked that Brown still chose him to get engaged to. After the finale aired, the former pageant queen revealed that she had ended her engagement to Wyatt after the bombshell news about his girlfriend. Since the finale, Brown has gone through a few more relationship ups and downs with runner-up Cameron and has since moved on from both Cameron and Wyatt. Cameron has moved on to a relationship with Gigi Hadid, but what about Wyatt?
In addition to the news about his pre-show relationship, it was revealed during the airing of the show that Wyatt had previously worked in a male burlesque club in Nashville while trying to start his singer/songwriter career. Video footage, as well as photos, were released as proof of this, which fans used as yet another strike against him; and, according to Us Weekly, he'll be returning to Music City Male Revue in Nashville yet again. The venue, according to their website, puts on "PG" hourlong shows tailored towards bachelorette parties that are a "fully choreographed entertainment experience." One key stipulation is that the club considers their dancers to be performers, not strippers. The venue posted a picture of Wyatt to their Instagram page ahead of the long weekend, writing "Our Labor Day Weekend show just got even hotter" and they referred to Wyatt as their "very special guest," so it seems that Wyatt is returning to winning the hearts of bachelorette parties, rather than the heart of The Bachelorette.
Following her season of The Bachelorette featuring one of the most infamous reality TV villains, Luke P., as well as the whirlwind of stories surrounding Wyatt, the former Miss Alabama said that she was struggling to find happiness, but that she was working on it. It was also recently announced that Brown will be a contestant on this season of Dancing With the Stars, so fans aren't done seeing the Southern Belle on their television screens just yet.
ABC has still not confirmed who the upcoming season of The Bachelor will star, though it seems fairly certain that Wyatt won't be stepping into the role. With fan-favorite Cameron still going strong with Gigi Hadid, fans are pushing for Peter Weber or Mike Johnson to be cast in the role.
