The Bachelorette Spoilers: Meet Katie’s Hot Suitors!

The Bachelorette will be doubling up in 2021.

As previously detailed, two women will take center stage on this franchise over the coming months: Katie Thurston in the summer and Michelle Young in the fall.

Mere days after ABC dropped this bombshell on fans, the network has gone ahead and revealed the identity of all 31 suitors from whom Thurston will choose.

To be clear, it doesn’t sound like all of the men listed below will appear on Season 17 … we’ve certainly seen the show pull a fast one or two in this regard.

But most of them probably will. Upon revealing these photos and mini biographies on Facebook, ABC wrote:

“We are giving you an early look at the men who may be on this season of The Bachelorette!”

Which will actually show up on front of the camera when episodes air frrom New Mexico later this year? We can’t say for certain.

But one of these hunks will almost definitely propose to Thurston before all is said and done. How exciting, right?!?

Right. Check ’em out!

Katie Thurston is the Next Bachelorette … But She’ll Share the Honor With Another Matt James Runner-Up!

About midway through Matt James’ season, Katie Thurston was surprisingly sent home following what appeared to be a successful one-on-one date.

Katie’s dismissal came as a shock to viewers, not only because Matt had seemed to enjoy himself on their date, but also because Thurston had become a major fan favorite in recent weeks.

After distinguishing herself as “Vibrator Girl” on night one, Katie set herself apart for her willingness to stand up to the “mean girls” in this season’s contestant pool.

And while she may not have been Matt’s cup of tea, it looks as though all the goodwill she built up among viewers has served Katie well – and proved The Bachelorette spoilers correct.

Reality Steve is reporting that she’s the next Bachelorette.

It’s unclear when this will be announced, but it looks like a done deal – and not one that everybody in Bachelor Nation is happy with.

Perhaps as a result of the mixed response, producers have also selected another runner-up from Matt James’ season, and this second lucky lady will soon be filming her own season of The Bachelorette!

Here’s a rundown of what this unprecdented move means for the future of the franchise:

1. It’s Katie’s Turn!

She may not be the most conventional choice, but it looks as though Katie Thurston will be the next Bachelorette.

2. A Divisive Decision

While her fans are ecstatic, many citizens of Bachelor Nation are not taking the news well at all …

3. Good Vibes

Katie may have offered some comic relief by bringing her vibrator with her on her first night at Nemacolin, but many fans thought she would be one of the first contestants to leave the resort.

4. The Silent Type

After all, Matt is a quiet, religious fella. Some folks have called him boring, but that’s a conversation for another time.

5. Conflicting Values?

Let’s not forget — soon after Katie arrived with her little friend, Matt became the first Bachelor in franchise history to kick off his tenure on the show with a group prayer. Awkward!

6. Katie Thirstin’

But it’s not her ribald sense of humor or her candid discussion of her sexuality that’s caused Katie’s popularity to decline in recent weeks.
