Bachelor Nation stars Trista Sutter & Ali Fedotowsky have both jetted off and left their families behind. Rumor has it that the two popular former Bachelorettes are filming another reality show. Which one do fans think they could appear on next?
Trista Sutter & Ali Fedotowsky Are No Strangers To Reality TV
Trista Sutter and Ali Fedotowsky are most known from their respective stints as Bachelorette. Trista Sutter (then Rehn) was the first-ever lead on the popular spinoff back in 2003. She fell in love with and married her final rose winner, Ryan Sutter.
Ali Fedotowsky was named Bachelorette for Season 6. She was previously on Jake Pavelka’s season of The Bachelor but self-eliminated after an issue with her job interfering with the reality show. Ali got engaged to Roberto Martinez, but they broke up after less than two years of dating.

Photography converts the whole world into a cemetery. Photographers, connoisseurs of beauty, are also – wittingly or unwittingly – the recording-angels of death.
– Susan Sontag
Those words appear at the beginning of Disappear Completely (Desaparecer Por Completo), and seem perfectly appropriate as we see Santiago sitting in his car listening to the police radio. He’s a photographer, and he’s waiting to hear what he’ll be covering next. He doesn’t have long to wait before he’s busy shooting pictures of a cuffed suspect, sobbing victims in an ambulance, and, with the help of a bribe, a woman’s corpse.
Santiago works for a Mexican tabloid, one that very firmly believes the old adage, “If it bleeds, it leads”. And he’s excellent at capturing that bleeding on film, regardless of the cost.

If you are a fan of ABC‘s The Bachelor franchise, you probably have a long list of former leads that you love — and maybe an even longer list of those you love to hate.

"Could you do a spiritual cleansing on me?" "I can't help you." An official trailer is out for a Mexican indie horror film titled Disappear Completely, the latest film from filmmaker Luis Javier Henaine (of Happy Times and Ready to Mingle).

“The Golden Bachelor” Gerry Turner officially tied the knot with his final rose pick, Theresa Nist, Thursday, and the live broadcast of the couple’s nuptials certainly threw “Bachelor” Nation some curveballs.
The biggest shocker was certainly Brayden Bower’s surprise proposal to “The Bachelor” alum Christina Mandrell, days ahead of the pair moving in together and just over a month after they revealed their relationship to the world.
Wedding bells are also ringing for former “Bachelorette” Charity Lawson and her fiancé Dotun Olubeko, as the pair shared they plans to get married in fall 2025.
Still, as the women from the inaugural season of “The Golden Bachelor” showed up to celebrate the couple — including officiant Susan Noles, golden carpet correspondent Kathy Swarts, guests Faith Martin, Joan Vassos and Sandra Mason, among others — the ladies kept the shenanigans going, leading to several entertaining moments.

“Premiere Night” on “Dancing with the Stars” was eventful, with 14 new celebrities entering the ballroom for the first time and one exiting at the end of the night: comedian and actor Matt Walsh, who was eliminated after the judges’ scores were combined with viewer votes. I discussed week one of the competition with Gold Derby contributors Jeffrey Kare and Cordell Martin, and we also previewed the dances coming up for “Latin Night” in week two. Watch our video slugfest above.
“I was a little bummed for Matt, that he was the first one out,” says Martin, “especially with him being in solidarity with the WGA during the strike. I thought maybe he would have gotten a little leeway in terms of the fan votes, but it just didn’t work in his favor.” Kare adds, “It was such a shame that just when Matt rejoined the show after being on...

Exclusive: Itvx has recommissioned its first reality show since launching late last year: hybrid format Loaded in Paradise.
The 10-parter from The Reluctant Traveller indie Twofour follows a group of couples who race around Greece with €50,000 following the show’s mantra: ‘Live your best life, just don’t get caught’. Season two will remain in Greece but with a new route and new set of luxurious locations.
ITV said the show achieved a healthy share of young viewers – more than one-third were aged between 16 and 34 – when it aired last year on ITV2. In the overnight ratings, it performed in line with fellow ITV2 formats such as Ready to Mingle, but is a far cry from matching the channel’s best performer, Love Island.
Nonetheless, Loaded in Paradise has become new streamer Itvx’s first reality recommission since launch, as ITV seeks to buttress the platform with high-volume content. Premiere date has not yet been set.

Kaitlyn Bristowe paid a visit to Chris Harrison’s recently launched podcast to set a few things straight about her taking over his role on The Bachelor franchise following his high-profile exit.
Her two-episode visit to The Most Dramatic Podcast Ever … With Chris Harrison was prompted by the pair wanting to set the record straight about how their relationship changed when she took on co-hosting the franchise with Tayshia Adams following Harrison’s departure in 2021. During the conversation, Bristowe and Harrison agreed that she and Adams were “set up to fail.”
After stepping aside during the controversial 25th season of The Bachelor, Harrison — who hosted The Bachelor, The Bachelorette, Bachelor in Paradise and other spinoffs within the franchise since 2002 — exited his role upon reaching a confidential settlement. Adams and Bristowe then were tapped to lead both 2021 seasons of The Bachelorette.

There are few certainties with the passage of time, but one of them appears to be this: Every January, ABC will unveil a fresh new season of The Bachelor — with Zach Shallcross as this year’s pick to dole out the roses — and there will be no shortage of contestants accused of not being here for the “right reasons.”
The long-running dating franchise continues to generate plenty of conversation, which was true of the memorable but bumpy most recent season of The Bachelorette, following which neither of the two co-leads, Gabby Windey and Rachel Recchia, is currently dating their pick from the show. Shallcross, who left the show heartbroken following an unaired conversation with Recchia, begins his second chance at love with his season premiere Monday.

It’s going to be hard to beat the most exciting casting announcement of Season 19 of “The Bachelorette” — a.k.a., the fact that there are two female leads in the upcoming season — but 32 men will be vying for the hearts of two women.
Gabby Windey and Rachel Recchia will both co-star in “The Bachelorette” Season 19, marking a first for the long-running ABC dating franchise. And one month before their season kicks off, their suitors have been revealed.
Having two Bachelorettes is a result of the messy last season of “The Bachelor” where Windey and Recchia were both broken up with leading man Clayton Echard on national television. America yelled at their TVs, as hearts broke and tears were shed for Windey and Recchia, who were applauded for how they handled the drama and supported each other. Now, the ladies will have another shot at love.
Yes, both women will be dating the same men.

The Bachelor‘s latest season has come to a close, but it isn’t the end of hosting duties for former Bachelor himself, Jesse Palmer. After Season 26 of The Bachelor came to a close, it was revealed that the TV personality and former pro-footballer would continue his hosting duties for Season 19 of The Bachelorette. As fans of the franchise know, the past two seasons of The Bachelorette were helmed by cohosts and former Bachelorettes Tayshia Adams and Kaitlyn Bristowe, which means they’ll be bumped for Palmer. (Credit: ABC/Craig Sjodin) Prior to any of this host shuffling, the fan-favorite TV shows were emceed by original host Chris Harrison before he resigned amid controversy for supporting Rachael Kirkconnell, a contestant from Matt James‘ season who had “liked” racist social media posts and attended an Antebellum-themed party.

Spoiler Alert: Do not read ahead, if you are not up-to-date with Clayton Echard’s season of “The Bachelor.”
With only a few days left until the season finale, “The Bachelor” has a lot of explaining to do.
Last week’s “fantasy suite” episode — when the couples get to spend an overnight date together for the first time with no cameras around — ended with a bang.
With the final three women left vying for Clayton Echard’s heart, ABC’s leading man told each of the women that he was in love with them. Susie Evans, Gabby Windey and Rachel Recchia all expressed their love to Echard, who admitted he’d had sex with both Windey and Recchia. But when Evans gave him an unexpected ultimatum that she couldn’t stay if he had slept with another woman, Echard was caught completely off guard — Evans went home, and Twitter was up in arms.
With only a few days left until the season finale, “The Bachelor” has a lot of explaining to do.
Last week’s “fantasy suite” episode — when the couples get to spend an overnight date together for the first time with no cameras around — ended with a bang.
With the final three women left vying for Clayton Echard’s heart, ABC’s leading man told each of the women that he was in love with them. Susie Evans, Gabby Windey and Rachel Recchia all expressed their love to Echard, who admitted he’d had sex with both Windey and Recchia. But when Evans gave him an unexpected ultimatum that she couldn’t stay if he had slept with another woman, Echard was caught completely off guard — Evans went home, and Twitter was up in arms.

Spoiler Alert: Do not read if you have not yet watched the October 19 premiere episode of “The Bachelorette.”
“The Bachelorette” began its 18th season with leading lady Michelle Young at its helm. The fifth-grade teacher from Minneapolis, Minn. returned to the reality dating franchise after appearing on Matt James’ historic season of “The Bachelor.”
Michelle, who is biracial, agreed to be the Bachelorette in hopes of finding love like her own parents. After pep talks from her mom, dad and hosts (and former Bachelorettes), Tayshia Adams and Kaitlyn Bristowe, she prepared to meet her men.
Several suitors were given intro packages: Chris Sutton, a Los Angeles transplant from the South; Joe Coleman – who, like Michelle, is a biracial Minneapolis resident and loves basketball; Clayton Echard, a former collegiate athlete (and likely next season’s Bachelor); and Nayte Olukoya, who loves road trips with his dog.

The Bachelorette is handing out more roses to its dynamic hosting duo: Kaitlyn Bristowe and Tayshia Adams will return to host the ABC reality hit next season, our sister site Variety reports.
Bristowe and Adams, both former Bachelorettes themselves, took over hosting duties this season from ousted host Chris Harrison; he left the franchise in June after he sparked controversy by defending Bachelor contestant Rachael Kirkconnell after photos surfaced of her attending an Antebellum party. Bristowe and Adams made their hosting debut in June and have helped guide current Bachelorette Katie Thurston through her journey, which wraps up next week.

Tayshia Adams and Kaitlyn Bristowe were named temporary replacement co-hosts for Chris Harrison on the current season of “The Bachelorette,” as the longtime host stepped aside amid controversy in March. Harrison’s full departure from the franchise became official shortly after the new season premiered.
Now, the door is wide open for a new face of the ABC series. Bristowe tells Variety that they haven’t had any official meetings about future hosting opportunities, but both former “Bachelorettes” are interested in continuing hosting duties with the franchise.
“They haven’t, like, sat us down,” Bristowe says. “I think everyone wants to see how does this season go? What is going to happen next? I think we’re all just going day by day, at this point.”

There's one mom in Bachelor Nation who deserves a lot more than just a rose this Mother's Day. Before Tayshia Adams became one of ABC's most beloved Bachelorettes, the Click Bait podcast co-host remembers growing up in sunny Orange County, Calif., with one consistent cheerleader by her side. Yes, we're talking about her mom, Rosario Adams. "There were so many times she took us to sports or tried to be there for every event at school," Tayshia exclusively recalled to E! News.

For the first time in The Bachelorette's 18-year history, Chris Harrison won't be hosting the show when it airs this summer. He stepped down in February after defending controversial contestant Rachael Kirkconnell, and ABC asked former Bachelorettes Kaitlyn Bristowe and Tayshia Adams to take the reins. Although Chris won't appear onscreen during Katie Thurston's upcoming search for true love, his presence—or lack thereof—continued to impact the cast of the 17th season of The Bachelorette, which has wrapped filming.

Katie Thurston has made her debut as “The Bachelorette” in the first promo for her season, which premieres June 7.
The promo begins with a clip of Thurston’s elimination from Matt James’ season of “The Bachelor,” during which Thurston says: “I don’t regret being myself. I know what I deserve.”
Thurston then appears wearing a lavender dress and, of course, holding the show’s signature rose. Another flashback from James’ season then appears, showing Thurston standing up against the “mean girls” in the house. “I’m not going to sit here and let mean girls be mean girls,” Thurston says.
Though Thurston was eliminated from “The Bachelor” fairly early, she became a fan-favorite for her sex-positive mindset — Thurston showed up on night one with a vibrator — and was an advocate for supporting other women during the drama-filled season.

All3Media-backed Story Films is making four-part series The Thief, His Wife and the Canoe, which is based on an unpublished manuscript written by journalist David Leigh.
The series tells the true story of how debt-laden Darwin and his wife, Anne Darwin, came up with an elaborate scheme to defraud insurance companies by faking his death in a canoeing accident in 2002.
Anne told the world that her husband had gone missing off the coast of Cleveland, England, weaving a web of deceit that included lying to her sons about their own father’s death.

Matt James' journey on The Bachelor is just beginning, but fans have already fallen in love with one of his contestants: Abigail Heringer. The client financial manager opened up about her decision to go on the show during the Jan. 5th episode of the Bachelor Happy Hour podcast. According to Abigail, her love life was "nonexistent" before stepping out of the limo. "I think a lot of people can just kind of relate to being in my shoes," she told hosts and former Bachelorettes Rachel Lindsay and Becca Kufrin. "Being in your 20s, you are on the dating apps and you're trying to date around. But I think what I just really struggled with is it's so superficial. And you know, just kind...

The hunk then slipped a 3.25-carat diamond ring designed by Neil Lane on her finger as they got their happily ever after, ABC style. The ring features an emerald cut diamond surrounded by a halo of 27 round diamonds, plus 67 more diamonds around the edge and band.

Typically, at this point in a season of “The Bachelorette,” viewers have a fairly strong idea of who the leading lady will pick as her future fiancé. But with Tayshia Adams’ two-part finale beginning tonight, a winner isn’t quite as obvious as it has been in past seasons.
Adams stepped into “The Bachelorette” as a replacement original star Clare Crawley, who found love early with contestant Dale Moss, therefore departing the season just a few weeks in. This was an unprecedented turn of events for the dating show. But host Chris Harrison says that the switch-up isn’t necessarily the reason why a clear winner hasn’t emerged.
“At the end of the day, she got pretty much the same exact amount of time that all the other Bachelorettes get,” Harrison says of Adams’ time dating on TV.

Bachelor Nation, rejoice! “The Bachelorette” will premiere on Tuesday, Oct. 13 at 8/7c with a two-hour episode, ABC announced Thursday.
As previously announced, the show will air on Tuesdays instead of its usual Mondays because the latter is “Dancing with the Stars'” fall slot. Season 16, which was delayed due to Covid-19, stars Clare Crawley as one of two Bachelorettes. The former “Bachelor” finalist departed the show shortly into production after falling for one suitor and has since been replaced by Tayshia Adams, who competed on Season 23 of “The Bachelor.” ABC has not confirmed the switch-up, focusing only Crawley and her “journey to find true love” in its press release, but it did tease an “explosive turn of events that will have all of Bachelor Nation talking,” as if it already isn’t.

For the first time in “The Bachelor” franchise history, Chris Harrison is stepping aside as host — but only for a handful of episodes, as Harrison is heading into quarantine as a safety precaution, after briefly leaving the set of the upcoming season of “The Bachelorette.”
Former “Bachelorette” star JoJo Fletcher, who starred on Season 12 of the ABC dating show in 2016, will fill in for Harrison during the days of shooting when he is under quarantine, Variety has confirmed with sources close to production.
ABC and Warner Bros. TV were not immediately available for comment, though the network and studio typically do not comment on casting rumors related to “The Bachelor” franchise when shows are in production.

Oh, boy, this really is going to be the most dramatic season yet of “The Bachelorette.” Just two weeks into filming Season 16 — after a four-month delay due to Covid-19 — Clare Crawley is no longer the lead and has been replaced by “Bachelor” Season 23 alum Tayshia Adams. And in a franchise first, both of them will be part of the season when it premieres in the fall. Guess after all this waiting we deserve two Bachelorettes?
ABC has not announced the shakeup — and it’s not expected to before the premiere — but multiple reports have confirmed the twist, and there’s lots of evidence backing it up. And then there was ABC’s purposely vague promo on Monday night that literally kept the Bachelorette’s face in the dark.

Clare Crawley is not like other Bachelorettes. She's the oldest woman to ever get the gig, she's had the job the longest without actually ever filming anything, and it's been five or six years since most of the public has really seen her. That means there's a lot to learn about the Bachelor franchise's newest leading lady, and she opened up about some of it during an interview on the Bachelor Happy Hour podcast, which came out on Tuesday. Clare revealed that after Juan Pablo's season, she met about becoming the next Bachelorette, but couldn't have been happier that the job went to Andi Dorfman, partially because Clare herself wasn't ready. Even before going on The Bachelor,...

Kaitlyn Bristowe waited five years for her “Dancing with the Stars” dream to come true, a turn of events that she says “feels like a wrong has been made right.”
Chris Harrison shocked the Season 11 “Bachelorette” star on Monday’s “The Bachelor: Greatest Seasons — Ever!” when he told Bristowe that she’d be on “Dancing” Season 29 — three years after she claimed that “Bachelor” creator Mike Fleiss blocked her from going on the show in 2015 following her rose-giving stint.
“I just think it goes to show if you’re resilient and you always are strong with what you believe in and fight for what you want — and as long as you are a good person doing those things — even if it takes five years, something good will come from it,” Bristowe told “Entertainment Tonight” (watch below).
