Bill, 68A retired videographer who says, I am Latin; romance is in my blood!

He dreams of owning a coffee shop, which he would call (drumroll kindly) Billy Beans.

His bio specifies that he loves to in-line skate, but ONLY on quads.

Hes a man who knows what he likes, we see.

Charles L., 66A retired financial analyst who moved to the U.S. with only $20 in his pocket.

He would love to see Britney Spears perform one day.

Chock, 60An insurance executive who loves rooting for the Kansas City Chiefs.

Could Joan be the Taylor to his Trav?

Christopher, 64A contractor who owns a construction company and loves Earth, Wind & Fire.

We bet hes looking forward to September.
