‘The Bachelorette’ Premiere Spoilers & Live Recap

Rejoice, Bachelor Nation! The Bachelorette is finally premiering after the COVID-19 pandemic sent TV production scrambling. Because of that, the show was filmed in a contained location — we are excited to see how production got creative with the dates. All the fun starts Tuesday, October 13 at 8 p.m. ET/PT with a two-hour premiere on ABC. Follow along here with our live recap but be warned of spoilers.

All times Eastern.

8:00 — Y’all, we did not know how badly we were missing some Bachelor/ette content on our TV until we were so for tonight. Also, Clare Crawley is one of our fave ladies in franchise history. Her “Dr. Doolittle” schtick Bachelor in Paradise still makes us giggle. And this season looks like it is going to be EPIC.

8:05 — Um, do you HEAR that one guy disparagingly call her the oldest bachelorette?! This 39-year-old Bachelorette fan would like a word with that man-child.

8:10 — Things kick off with a video package of Clare’s journey to becoming the bachelorette. It’s very emotional, though watching her snub Juan Pablo Galavis was sweet. He was the WORST. But she says she’s proud of who she is and she wouldn’t be who she is without all those bad experiences along the way. It sounds cliched, but that “Broken Road” song by Rascal Flatts is so true.

Oh my goodness, I did NOT know that her mom has Alzheimer’s .And she lost her dad really young to brain cancer, if I recall from her season of The Bachelor. Oh, that is just heartbreaking.

8:20 — Bring on the men! The initial footage is of them in quarantine. Hey, now they know what it’s like to be on Big Brother! There’s a guy named Yosef and it’s going to be REAL hard not to call him “Brosef.”

8:40 — Forty minutes in we finally get to watch the men’s arrivals! You’d think this was a three-hour premiere what with how much they’re dragging this out, but it is not. Just two hours tonight. Anyway, highlights from the limo arrivals include Jordan, a very, very tall man whose pants are very, very short. As a tall woman who has trouble finding pants, I sympathize, but in a suit, that looks ridiculous.

The Bachelorette now airs on Tuesdays because Dancing With the Stars is in its usual Monday night slot, so tune in every Tuesday at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC.
