We’ve seen some surprise debuts on The Bachelorette franchise, but none quite compare to Rick Leach’s first encounter with season 18’s bachelorette Michelle Young.
Let’s learn more about him through this Rick Leach Wiki.
Rick Leach on The Bachelorette
ABC’s The Bachelorette season 18 premiered on October 19, 2021, and after a few contestants, Rick Leach showed up in the resort’s driveway, hidden under a covered silver plate on a food cart. Apparently! Michelle was surprised when she opened the lid.
According to Rick, he was the “main course” and chose to stay in the food truck for most of the night. Some viewers were scared by the stunt, but many appreciated his dedication to making a strong first impression.
Rick may have stood out from the crowd with his memorable debut, but he failed to make a lasting first impression on Michelle.
In case you didn’t know, Nayte Olukoya was the first person to steal Michelle’s first impression rose. He was also one of two contestants who got to go on a one-on-one date with Michelle in Minnesota.
This season, Rick joins 29 other contestants including Alec Thompson, Brandon Jones, Casey Woods, Clayton Echard, Joe Coleman, Mollique Johnson, Nayte Olukoya, Rodney Matthews, Bryan Witzmann, Jack Russell, JoMarri Gable, Ryan Fox and many other handsome guys.
After being on The Bachelorette, Rick took to his IG on September 29, 2021 to write, “So I went on this show called Bachelorette and met this amazing woman @michelleyoung. She could be the one.”
There were a lot of contestants this season who had ulterior motives, but Rick wasn’t one of them. While he may not have won the heart of the bachelorette, he certainly won over a lot of fans with his on-set performances and comedic personality.
Rick Leach Ideal Partner
ABC describes Rick Leach as “a self-proclaimed hopeless romantic who has been thinking about his future wife for as long as he can remember.” They also add that he’s the type of guy who would send his partner flowers at work for no reason other than to say “I love you.”
So for a guy who is always showing his emotions, Rick’s ideal partner would be someone who loves him the way he loves or at least appreciates his efforts. He wants someone who “can make the world a better place” and is truly worthy of his heart.
