Reality Steve spoiler blogger Steve Carbone initially reported on February 7 that Katie was selected to star on the 2021 season of
The Bachelorette, but now he s saying ABC changed its mind.
The Bachelorette next season but filming has been delayed about one week.
Production is now expected to commence in the third week of March at a resort in the United States, according to Carbone, who had already previously reported that ABC s original plan to film Season 17 of
'The Bachelor' Season 25 'Women Tell All' promo trailer preview teases Serena Pitt and Matt James' reunion and the final three dates ahead of the finale.
The cold freeze has finally snapped. Birds are chirping. And here on
The Bachelor, most of the drama has dissipated as Matt has narrowed down his choices to the final four possibilities, which means that he meets all their parents during this “hometowns” episode. In normal times, Matt would be visiting places like Canada and Georgia to meet his girlfriends’ parents and other relatives on their home turfs. But instead, all the families head to the resort in Pennsylvania (does this mean that
everyone’s family had to be quarantining this whole time?).

Hometowns is a big week in the Bachelor scheme of things, because after living in the contestant bubble for so many weeks, for the contestants it’s the first time they get some actual outside validation about their unconventional relationship. Or not. For Serena, talking to her mom and her sister about her feelings for Matt is enough for her to realize that she’s not actually ready to get engaged at the end
NEW YORK It s hometown week on The Bachelor! Matt would get to meet the families of his final four women: Rachael, Bri, Serena, and Michelle. They traveled to the resort instead of Matt visiting their actual hometowns due to COVID restrictions with filming.
Michelle s Date
Matt met up with Michelle and they were matching in their lavender sweaters. Michelle surprised Matt with some bicycles where they rode through the resort and talked about what a future together would look like. They eventually ended up at an auditorium where Michelle s students were waiting on a zoom call. The kids were so cute and had a lot of questions for Matt aka Mr. James.

Bachelor history question, rose lovers: Have we ever had a season where three women self-eliminated? I can t recall it happening before then again, I can t remember what I ate for dinner last night, so I m not the best resource. Anyhow, I wonder how all this affected Matt s self-esteem.
