Getting the final rose, that is the ultimate goal of The Bachelorette. One female will go into a huge mansion with 31 single boys, and only one girl. The men better make a good first impression walking in, because that might be all they get. The Bachelorette has to find the strongest connection throughout their stay, because at the end of the season she will have to pick her husband. Not everybody gets to stay the whole time, throughout the season there will be rose ceremonies. The Bachelorette will have a certain amount of roses to give out and whatever men does not receive one, their time on The Bachelorette will be over.

The season 16 Bachelorette is Clare Crawley. She is the oldest Bachelorette at 39 years old. Clare was the runner up on the 18th season of The Bachelor and also on season one and two of Bachelor in Paradise. This season has been much different due to Covid restrictions. They were supposed to start filming on March 13th 2020, but unfortunately that is when the United States had an outbreak of the Coronavirus.

The producers plan to start filming the show on March 13th 2020 was not successful because that’s when we went into lockdown. After waiting several months there was still  no talk to move forward with the show and start filming. Products wanted to start the show in Italy because they already had their outbreak and there weren’t as many cases. But after an executive decision by everyone, they decided it was not smart to go to Italy because they did not want to cause another outbreak. After months of waiting they were finally able to get started. All of the boys and Clare had to stay in separate rooms at a hotel and quarantine until all of their results came back negative. Then they were allowed to go to the huge Bachelorette mansion and possibly meet their future partner. This season is going to be extremely different due to the Coronavirus, but all of the producers are eager to give Clare the best chance she can for finding her partner.

The Bachelorette isn’t everyone’s personal favorite, some fans may prefer The Bachelor over The Bachelorette. Callie a Timberlane Junior, states she would rather watch The Bachelor. She stated it was because,¨ there is more drama amongst the girls and it makes the show more interesting¨. There are also many criticisms floating around the internet whether or not Clare is a good Bachelorette, or is there someone more deserving? Callie thinks, ¨ Clare is a bad Bachelorette because she is only in it for one person and it makes it unenjoyable to watch¨. This season is going to be way out of the normal, but what about dates? That is how everyone makes their strongest connections with the other person. Callie thinks ¨they will be more restricted because going out in public and traveling out of the country is much harder.¨ Callie is eager to see how this season pans out and hopes it can be somewhat normal.

Maddie is a new fan of this TV series but fell in love right away. She started watching The Bachelor while the state was at a stay at home order and binged watched a whole season in three days. She just started watching The Bachelorette a couple days ago but would prefer to watch that over The Bachelor. ¨Girls are already more dramatic than men and with there only being one girl, there are going to have to be a lot of tough decisions made which will lead to being one very dramatic season.¨ Agreeing with the rumors, Maddie also feels that Clare should not have a fourth shot at love from this TV series. She states, ¨she has been on The Bachelor, and The Bachelor In Paradise twice and every season that she has been on has ended with her walking out in tears. The Bachelorette should have gone to someone on Peters season last year because he was extremely indecisive and ended up sending someone home that he is dating now.¨

Lastly,  this season is going to be crazy different because of the Coronavirus. Normally they all start at the mansion in LA but then they travel all across the country. When they are in different states they go on either group dates or one on ones. If you get a one on one that is how you can tell if you are growing a deeper connection with the other person or not. They might have to keep the season only in LA and when they are on their dates always wearing a mask and socially distancing as much as they can from everybody else. Maddie is excited to see what this season holds because from the previews it looks like it is going to be very drama filled.

This new season of The Bachelorette will be filled with fights, drama, friendships, and hopefully everybody’s ultimate goal that can only happen to one boy which is finding your soulmate for hopefully life. Stay up to date on what Clare choices do to every Tuesday night. Who will get the final rose?
