What to Expect From The Bachelorette Season 16 Episode 1?

In the season premiere, Clare Crawley will begin her journey to find her true love from thirty-one charming, successful, and loving men from different walks of life and hailing from all over the nation. The episode might begin with the introduction of the drop-dead gorgeous hairdresser from Sacramento, California. Following that, one-by-one, all the bachelors might make an entrance, pulling out all stops to stand out from the rest and make a lasting impression on the lovely lady.

Some might try the age-old trick by complimenting Clare’s outfit, hair, and other attributes. At the same time, a few men will use their wit and try out unique approaches like sporting a baby belly as a tribute to Clare’s entry on Juan Pablo’s season or wearing a banner that says, “Your Future Husband.” It will be interesting to see which 23 cast members manage to sweep her off her feet and earn the first impression rose, and who all are asked to get inside the limousine and head back home.

If reports are to be believed, Clare might leave the show mid-way after finding her soulmate. In the months when the production on the show was halted, Clare reportedly developed a liking towards one of the contestants, Dale Moss. Once the filming resumed, Clare and Dale’s affection for each other turned into love, and the couple is apparently engaged. Following Clare’s sudden exit, Tayshia Adams will be replacing her as the season’s bachelorette.

Talking more about the season, host Chris Harrison told E!, “I wish I could say a lot more but what I can tell you is you always think you’ve seen it all and done it all—and I’ve been doing this for 19 years—inevitably something happens that just blows your mind. This is an explosive season, it is a wild explosive season and it starts quickly with Clare. She is emotional and wears her heart on her sleeve and I think she was just bound and determined to come in here and find the love of her life. And that’s what she was set to do.” Check out the promo below!
