It's been the worst kept secret in Hollywood for months now:
Clare Crawley falls deeply in love with Dale Moss within two weeks of shooting the latest season of The Bachelorette and ABC replaces her with Tayshia Adams.
This is a done deal. It's already happened, producers just won't come right out and admit it.
The stunning development forces Bachelorette viewers to therefore ponder a new and different question:
We know who Crawley chooses as her potential husband. But what about Adams?!?
Based on a number of The Bachelorette spoilers and scoops released by Reality Steve, we can at least narrow down Tayshia's contestants to a select few. And here they are...
[UPDATE: We've learned the identities of Tayshia's final four contestants, and we may have narrowed it down to the top two! Keep scrolling for the latest spoillers!]
[UPDATE #2: We've learned even more about Adams and whether or not she ends up with a fiance when the season ends. Those spoilers await!]
1. Let's Start Here:
Crawley reportedly lasts for about four rose ceremonies as The Bachelorette. She and producers then agree that there's no point in her continuing on as the lead when she's so dead set on selecting Moss as her eventual winner.
2. Enter Tayshia!
Yup! The long-time Bachelor Nation favorite will get brought on and placed at the forefront of the reality show, which will make a sudden shift to focus on her romantic journey.
3. Quick Question: Who is Tayshia Adams?!?
The California native first appeared on Colton Underwood's season of The Bachelor, which premiered in January 2019 -- and was one of the final three contestants alongside Hannah Godwin and Cassie Randolph. From there, Adams appeared on season six of Bachelor in Paradise and started a relationship with John Paul Jones (from Hannah Brown's season of The Bachelorette).
4. Next Question: From What Pool Will Adams Select Her Soulmate?
Due to Clare's sudden departure, as well as the COVID-19 pandemic making it impossible to just fly new suitors in, Adams will mostly be stuck with Crawley's leftovers.
5. That's Not Fair, Though
Not really. But the hands of executives were very tied. After Clare eliminated seven men on her premiere, these are the ones we believe were left forr Tayshia to flirt with as The Bachelorette: Chasen Nick, Joe Park, Ivan Hall, Blake Moynes, Ed Waisbrot, Demar Jackson, Brendan Morais, Kenny Braasch, Jason Foster, Tyler Cottrill, Ben Smith, Jay Smith, Eazy, Zac Clark, Riley Christian and Bennett Jordan.
6. Okay, Go On...
The show will then bring on four brand new men who did NOT take part in anything Clare-related: Spencer Robertson, Montel Hill, Peter Giannikopoulos and Noah Erb.
