When ABC’s The Bachelorette kicked off last month, we thought that we wouldn’t be sharing weekly updates etc with Clare Crawley. With our insider info and as many people found out in weeks leading up to the first episode, we knew that she would not be The Bachelorette for the whole season. Each week we watched and last week, we finally saw her onscreen; however, the guys didn’t meet her, thus we held off from a recap. So tonight with one of our faves firmly in the seat, Tayshia Adams, we’re excited to go back to our scheduled posts on what took place, who we’re thinking will get down on the knee and more!
We meet Tayshia after Dale Moss proposes to Clare and they make an immediate exit after a long day of one on one time with one another. Meanwhile, the remaining guys who have no idea what’s going on except for the fact that Clare is not interested in them as she found love, believe that they will pack up the next day to return home after spending all the time quarantining to find their love journey. Chris pops in to let them know that should they choose, they can stay as they have another Bachelorette coming and they have until later tonight to decide if they will stay or not. The remaining 16 guys debate, take time etc and they all decide to stay. They meet Tayshia and are cautiously optimistic, although we know that Jason is having a hard time along with a few others. But smooth sailing in 2020 is not exactly something that stays around, Tayshia is pulled to get her limo moment with 4 additional guys who join the house. Their icy reception by the other men reminds us that it will be a bumpy road. We take a bit of a break to do a catch up with Dale and Clare. We hoped that there wouldn’t be an hour+ segment with these two. Thankfully they literally got their 15 mins and we were in the midst of Tayshia’s first dates which every guy was guaranteed that they would have one whether it was a group date (water basketball with some of the new guys thrown in) and a one on one. We also loved that on her first night, although first impression roses were given, she cleared the air quickly by saying that she wasn’t going to send anyone home so that she got time with everyone. This night also brought Jason’s feelings up when he let her know that he would be unable to stay due to falling in love with Clare. We’re still absorbing everything that happened, but we’re glad that the fun is back in the show and we have our eye on a few that we will be interested to see how things go!
Each night, we’ll tweet The Bachelorette and you can chat along with us (@AthleisureMag + with our Co-Founder/Creative + Style Director, Kimmie Smith @ShesKimmie) to see what’s taking place!
Each week we will let you know who our faves were last episode and if we’ve changed up since then as it pertains to who we think should go to Hometowns (it will be interesting to see how Hometowns will take place - we’re assuming families will be quarantined) if we were choosing right now! We will also say who we think should take it all.
We also suggest a podcast that we’re newly obsessed with, Wondery’s Bachelor Happy Hour which is hosted by Rachel Lindsay (contestant on The Bachelor Season 21; The Bachelorette Season 13) and co-hosted by Becca Kufrin (contestant on The Bachelor Season 22; The Bachelorette Season 14) to get their feedback!
LAST EPISODE
We know that we liked these guys even though Clare was Team Dale all day - but we’re loving Kenny, Joe, Eazy and Zac. Kenny’s proposal will be accepted.
WEEK 5 (TAYSHIA’s 1st)
It’s too soon so we’re going to roll over most of last week’s picks. But we’re going to swap Zac for one of the new guys, Spencer (we’re not fans, but there is no denying that she is intrigued by him). Kenny, Eazy and Joe are still in the Hometown picks. We still think that Kenny will propose.
