The Bachelorette premiere 2021 LIVE: Tayshia and Kaitlyn set to host Katie’s season after Chris Harrison’s dramatic exit

BACHELORETTE Katie Thurston finally gets to meet the eligible bachelors trying to win her heart this season.

In true Bachelor Nation fashion, this season features plenty of passionate make-out sessions and of course lots of explosive drama.

Katie, who appeared on Matt James’ season of The Bachelor, is a marketing manager from Washington and a viral TikTok star.

Bachelorette spoilers are already all over the internet and blogger Reality Steve believes he knows who the final four men on her season will be.

Katie became a fan favorite on the show after greeting Matt with a vibrator during her limo entrance during his season.

In spite of their connection, Matt ended up choosing Rachael Kirkconnell. They’ve had a rocky relationship since The Bachelor finale, however the two appear to be back together and stronger than ever.

Kirkconnell was involved in a racist scandal after a photo resurfaced of her wearing an Antebellum-style dress at a controversial Antebellum plantation themed party.

The scandal led to Chris Harrison’s firing after he publicly defended Kirkconnell during a very tense and uncomfortable interview with former Bachelorette Rachel Lindsay.
