The Bachelorette

The Bachelorette is about to get blown up.

Courtesy of a very familiar name.

Over the course of her run as a contestant on The Bachelor now as the lead on The Bachelorette, Katie Thurston has proven that she can dish it out.

Now it must be asked, however:

At last, Bachelor Nation.

It's taken a bit longer than it has in the past, but venerable blogger and podcaster and sometime creep Reality Steve has finally come through with The Bachelorette spoilers we've all been waiting for.

Grimly, the conspicuously lower ratings during Rachel Lindsay's season of The Bachelorette were just a portent of things to come.

In the past few years, Rachel has been insulted, targeted by hate campaigns, and blamed for all that is wrong with the world.

Katie Thurston got especially candid and especially personal on The Bachelorette this week.

First, however, she sent some potential husbands home.

The Bachelorette may have set a record this week.

For perhaps the first time in franchise history, it took this show just two episodes for its lead to accuse a suitor of showing up for the dreaded WRONG REASONS.

Katie Thurston is not here to waste time.

And she certainly isn't here to serve as anyone else's springboard to fame, fortune and/or an increase in one's influence on social media.

This week, it was finally confirmed that Chris Harrison is leaving the The Bachelor franchise.

What began as a temporary hiatus following his baffling defense of a star's racist actions is now permanent.

Tanner Tolbert is very concerned, you guys.

The former Bachelorette suitor has been paying attention to all the controversies surrounding this franchise of late and he's here to rant about them.

Rachel Lindsay is not about to do any victory laps.

She knows better than that.

Chris Harrison is moving in.

A few hours after Deadline reported that Harrison and ABC had decided to part ways for good, the polarizing host has confirmed the somewhat surprising news.

Chris Harrison has handed out his final rose.

According to Deadline, the embattled Bachelor, Bachelorette and Bachelor in Paradise host will NOT return to emcee any of these programs ever again.

If you caught the premiere of Katie Thurston's season of The Bachelorette, then you know that she's not lacking in the quirky dudes department.

There was the cat man, box boy, and the guy who gave her an antique family watch that turned out to be a chintzy knick-knack from an airport gift store.

Katie Thurston touched down in the Hyatt Regency Tamaya Resort & Spa in New Mexico on Monday night.

And so did 30 men angling to be the brand new Bachelorette's lover, husband and/or soulmate.

The journey for Katie Thurston is about to begin.

But here's the thing:

Based on what we're now hearing about Chris Harrison, the previously-unthinkable may soon prove to be a reality.

A very harsh reality for a handful of ABC viewers.

Peter Weber did not earn a reputation as the most decisive Bachelor in the franchise's history.

After his season ended, he dated multiple contestants ... most notably, Kelley Flanagan.

Katie Thurston's season of The Bachelor is nearly upon us!

If you've been following The Bachelorette Spoilers, you already know a lot about this upcoming season.

Rachel Lindsay is at it again.

The former Bachelorette, who was the first Black woman to lead this franchise back in 2017, appeared on comedian Ziwe Fumudoh's new variety show on Monday.

Well, a new season of The Bachelorette is almost upon us, and you know what that means ...

More spoilers courtesy of Reality Steve!

The filming has ended, Bachelor Nation.

Which can mean only one thing when it comes to this upcoming season of The Bachelorette:

Katie Thurston is ready for her journey to begin.

The next Bachelorette -- whose run on the most recent season of The Bachelor included lots of talk about vibrators and bullies before she got sent home by Matt James -- will debut in the lead role on June 7.
