Find Out Which Former Bachelorettes Called Their Seasons ‘Boring’ and ‘Isolating’
Looking back.
Over the past 21 seasons, “The Bachelorette” has given us unforgettable love stories (and plenty of drama) with our amazing leading ladies.
The show is now switching things up with Taylor Frankie Paul stepping into the spotlight later this month.
And to help welcome her into the franchise, our Bachelorettes reunited to film a special preview called “The Bachelorette: Before the First Rose,” airing right after the live broadcast of the Oscars on Sunday, March 15, on ABC and Hulu.
To prepare for her one-of-a-kind season, the former Bachelorettes sat down with Taylor to give her heartfelt advice and look back on their various journeys to find love.
And while reuniting, several of the women used one word to describe their season of “The Bachelorette” in a new video online.
JoJo Fletcher started things off by describing her season as “emotional.” And Charity Lawson followed with “serendipitous” before Becca Kufrin chimed in laughing as she described her season as “boring.”
The Bachelorettes continued with words such as “one-of-a-kind,” “controversial,” “awkward,” and “iconic.”
Andi Dorfman then said that her season was “never ending because all my boys just kept coming back.”
Emily Maynard described hers as “West Virginia backwoods hood rat,” and Hannah Brown used her iconic phrase, “Jesus still loves me” for her season.
Katie Thurston said that her season was “isolating” due to the quarantine measures in place during her season in 2021.
The video finished with other Bachelorettes using descriptive words, such as Joan Vassos, who said her season was “life-changing,” Desiree Hartsock, who said, “roller coaster,” and Rachel Recchia, who simply said, “tears.”
We love seeing all of our Bachelorettes back together! Don’t forget to tune in to “The Bachelorette: Before the First Rose” right after the live broadcast of the Oscars on Sunday, March 15, on ABC and Hulu.
Plus, watch Taylor’s journey to find love unfold on the next season of “The Bachelorette,” premiering Sunday, March 22!
