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.
