Michelle's Final 3 bachelors are Brandon Jones, a 26-year-old traveling nurse recruiter from Portland, OR; Joe Coleman, a 28-year-old real estate developer from Minneapolis, MN; and Nayte Olukoya, a 27-year-old sales executive from Austin, TX.
Michelle is definitely falling in love with Nayte and Brandon, but she's been a little less vocal about her feelings for Joe.

Michelle, for instance, shared with Brandon, "It is very clear to me that I am falling for you," which served as "huge" words of affirmation for an ecstatic Brandon.
And Michelle told Nayte that she's "crazy about" him and could definitely picture her future as his fiancee and eventual wife.
However, Nayte's family left her with some concerns, that Nayte may not actually be ready for an engagement. After all, Nayte had never been in love with a woman before Michelle.
Nayte's stepfather Charles told Michelle, "I don't want him to emotionally hurt himself or you. You feel this great vibe but then at the end, suddenly he emotionally realizes he's not there yet."
The Bachelorette: The Men Tell All is going to air on Monday, December 6 at 9PM ET/PT on ABC.

When describing Michelle's season as a whole, The Bachelorette co-hosts Tayshia Adams and Kaitlyn Bristowe recently told Extra TV that it was like "a fairy tale," suggesting Michelle may have found true love.
And Michelle told People last week, "I feel like I made the right decision in the end. It takes me a minute... [but I'm] very happy."
Michelle added how she's "in a good spot right now."

So who did Michelle pick as her winner and which guy finished as her runner-up when the finale filmed? And what are the rest of The Bachelorette spoilers for Season 18?
According to Reality Steve spoiler blogger Steve Carbone, Joe goes home in third place after Michelle's Fantasy Suite dates.
And Carbone reported that Brandon Jones finished in second place.
It's therefore probably safe to assume Brandon had his heart broken at the end of Michelle's journey, most likely at the Final Rose Ceremony of Season 18.
"Her #2 is Brandon Jones," Carbone tweeted at the beginning of October.

Carbone said he previously received pictures of Michelle and her runner-up enjoying a date on September 7, just two days before The Bachelorette's Final Rose Ceremony filmed in Mexico on September 9.

Carbone wrote in his blog on October 6, "Until yesterday, I only had pics of who it was, but couldn't identify who it was."
"Thanks to ABC's preview of Michelle's season [that aired during Bachelor in Paradise's Season 7 finale], I've now been able to lock down who that final 2 guy was -- Brandon Jones," he claimed.
Carbone apparently matched the bachelor's outfit in the preview with what the man had been wearing in the photos someone had sent him.
Michelle and Brandon enjoyed a horseback riding date on Michelle's season as well as a fun day on the water riding jetskis.
Carbone also revealed the alleged winner of Michelle's The Bachelorette season on October 5.
"The main thing you want to know is what happened at the end, right?" Carbone wrote in his blog at the time.
"Well, I got that for you. Had heard rumblings since the season ended but got the confirmation I needed the end of last week."
The man Michelle reportedly gave her final rose to was Nayte Olukoya.
And Carbone reported that Nayte decided to propose marriage during the show's finale and so the pair got engaged!

So far on The Bachelorette season, Nayte has been consistent in his connection with Michelle and finds little ways to help Michelle let loose and have a good time.
Nayte received approval to date Michelle from two of her best friends in Minnesota, and Michelle pointed out numerous times how she and Nayte had "undeniable" and off-the-charts chemistry.
Michelle also won over Nayte's family, who were able to open up like never before and show their support of Nayte falling in love. However, as previously mentioned, Nayte's stepfather wasn't sure Nayte would be ready to pop the question by the end of Season 18.
According to his ABC bio, Nayte is a 6'8" and originally from Winnipeg, Canada. He attended college at Eastern Washington University and most recently worked for Indeed.com.
Nayte told ABC that his dream woman is outgoing, spontaneous and has enough swagger to keep up with him. He has been looking for a hot connection with a passionate woman as well as a teammate for life.
It sounds like Nayte and Michelle could be a great match considering ABC recently shared, "Michelle has big dreams for the future and says she wants a man by her side that is supportive and driven to make the world a better place."
"She is looking for the Superman to her Superwoman and is ready to find a love with whom she can start a family of her own."
Michelle finished The Bachelor's 25th season starring Matt James, which filmed last year and wrapped on TV in March, in second place and left the show devastated.
Michelle was announced on After the Final Rose in March as one of two The Bachelorette stars -- along with Katie Thurston -- for back-to-back seasons in 2021.
