Chris Harrison has said a lot ever since announcing his leave from The Bachelor and The Bachelorette.
But now it sounds like the host is set to let someone else do the talking.
And it may mean we’re in for a rather ugly situation moving forward.
…
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 potential 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.
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?!? Get to know them now…
The Bachelor and The Bachelorette are TV shows with a clear goal that you don’t need Bachelor spoilers to figure out:
Set up a man or woman with his or her soulmate.
Heck, nearly every season ends with a proposal, right? And yet, over time, almost no proposals end in actual marriage.
By the numbers, few couples from Bachelor Nation last months; let alone years; let alone an entire lifetime together.
Have there been exceptions to this rule?
Oh yeah, just look at Jason and Molly. Or Sean and Cat. Rachel and Bryan. Even Arie and Lauren … or JoJo and Jordan.
Nevertheless, it’s still an arduous, uphill battle.
See Hannah Brown and Jed Wyatt, or Peter Weber and Hannah Ann, or Peter Weber and Madison for that matter.
Their engagements lasted … days? Hours?
These are unique cases, and yet … not. Heck, Peter and Kelley Flanagan broke up too now. Dude was 0-for-3 in 2020!
The fact is that it’s hard out there for duos spawned by this franchise to make it work, as we saw repeatedly last year.
If you recall, Colton and Cassie broke up last summer. Followed by Becca and Garrett. Then even Ashley and J.P.
Such a brutal year, 2020.
Oh, and Clare and Dale split up as well. The other Bachelorette of 2020, Tayshia Adams, has fared better so far.
And then there’s the dumpster fire that was Matt James’ season of The Bachelor. Needless to say, it didn’t work out.
Looking back through the years, which duos are still living happily ever after after the final rose was bestowed?
Take a look at notable couples from The Bachelor and Bachelorette and see whether they’re still a romantic item now.
So much happened during Matt James’ After the Final Rose special on Monday that it can be easy to forget the episode ended with one of the biggest announcements in the history of the franchise.
For the first time in nearly 20 years of The Bachelor …
The Bachelorette will look very different in 2021.
First, as previously announced, Chris Harrison will not serve as host when the series returns with new episodes.
Late last week, ABC announced that Harrison will remain sidelined — due to some r…
Wow.
So much for a slap on Chris Harrison’s wrist.
About one month after the long-time host of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette announced that he would step away from the franchise — due to some racially-insensitive comments he made in response…
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:
Okay, so you may have noticed that there’s a little bit of a Bachelorette spoiler in that headline above.
It’s not the sort of thing we normally do, but this is news so big we want to shout it from the rooftops:
As The Hollywood Gossip reported l…
With so much controversy surrounding The Bachelor these days, it’s easy to forget about the more routine developments involving the franchise.
Chris Harrison has “stepped away,” and Bachelor Nation is in the midst of a racial reckoning that could f…
Rachel Lindsay is not on social media at the moment.
But this doesn’t mean the former Bachelorette is unable to speak her mind.
And, when it comes to the state of Bachelor Nation, amid an ongoing controversey regarding race in which she finds her…
Katie Thurston knows how to garner attention.
This much is certain.
The question now facing ABC executives, however, amid very strong speculation that Thurston will soon be named the next Bachelorette, is this:
Does the network really want …
They say you never get a second chance to make a first impression.
And if your number one goal is to be remembered, you might want to take a page from Katie Thurston’s book and show up to your next big social event with your favorite sex toy as you…
The Bachelor Nation is already wondering who could be the next Bachelorette.
Everyone has an opinion, but at the end of the day, it’s up to ABC and producers.
After the difficulties of Season 16, production hopes that 17 will be smoother sailing …
