Katie Thurston

The filming has ended.

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

Katie Thurston would like your attention.

She'd like to say something important.

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.

We have more than a month to go before Katie Thurston's season of The Bachelorette premieres.

But with filming having wrapped, news from production is leaking all over the place.

The Bachelorette star Katie Thurston has returned to Instagram and made one thing abundantly clear:

She really hates this whole coronavirus business and she wants to see it wiped away forever.

As we all know by now, Katie Thurston is looking for love.

The popular ex-Bachelor suitor will kick off her run as The Bachelorette in fewer than two months.

As of this writing, we do not know whether or not Katie Thurston will bring her vibrator along for her run as the next Bachelorette.

We do now know, however, when the beautiful brunette will debut in this role.

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 and The Bachelorette, the show's next two stars were revealed at the same time.

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.

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:

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 forever alter its future, but clearly, producers feel that the show must go on regardless.

The Bachelor went back in time a bit on Monday night.

A week before Matt James and his trio of finalists looked toward the future and the former really started to decide with whom he wanted to spend it, James gathered with a bunch of his exes to revisit the past.

Earlier this month, several outlets (including this one) reported that fan favorite Katie Thurston had been chosen as the next Bachelorette.

Now, it seems that Katie no longer has the job.

Katie Thurston knows how to garner attention.

This much is certain.

Katie Thurston has made it clear once again:

She is not here for anyone's rudeness, negativity, or, to be blunt, bull$hit.

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 your date.

Katie Thurston did not win the coveted First Impression Rose on the Season 25 premiere of The Bachelor.

But that didn't mean this suitor didn't make an impression on Matt James this past Monday night.
