Will the ‘Bachelorette’ settle in Fresno? Valley man vying for reality TV show rose
Season 20 of “The Bachelorette” premiered on Monday and already reality TV trackers are sizing up the 25 men in competition for the attention of protagonist Charity Lawson (with some major spoilers if you want them).
Included on the list is a 6-foot-7 Clovis West High School graduate named Dotun Olubeko, whom Lawson called a ”charmer” on first sight: “I’ve gotta keep my eye on him.”
According to his official “Bachorlette” bio, the 30-year-old was born in Nigeria and lives in Brooklyn, New York, though several sources (and a Linkedin profile) say he’s from Fresno, where he was a health coach and fitness trainer and owned the company DPT Fitness. The site GossipNextDoor tracked his mother and father, whom it says is a retired Fresno County Sheriff’s deputy (even more spoilers).
Before transferring to Chico State, Olubeko attended Fresno State, where he was a member of the local Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity chapter.
The national fraternity gave Olubeko a shout-out on its Facebook page Tuesday.
Olubeko was one of 19 contestants to receive a rose during the season premier.
Episode 2 airs 9 p.m. July 3 on ABC and streams following on Hulu.
