Clare Crawley and Tayshia Adams' 'The Bachelorette' season was a dumpster fire, to say the least. Crawley left the show after she found love in Dale Moss, later Tayshia Adams was faced with the predicament of the century - which hot guy to go for?

In the finale, she was left with Ivan Hall, Zac Clark, Ben Smith, and Brendan Smith. Let's hope Katie Thurston's season is a bit better if not a whole lot? If promos are anything to go by, our season 17 queen bee is already feeling the pressure. However, she should be able to handle it given she is fresh out of 'The Bachelor' and knows the rules, somewhat. A source told US Weekly how Thurston was in complete control of the situation, which was why she made "sure the men she wanted were there and the men she wasn’t interested in, she sent packing.” Even so, there's a good chance she too ended up experiencing what Crawley did - she wrapped up a week ahead of schedule.

Plot

Every week, suitors are tasked to participate in challenges, which determine their fate on the show. It also helps them in scoring one-on-one dates with the bachelorette. Over days and numerous dates, she then decides whom she would say yes to and eventually and hopefully marry. Of course, all of this will come with oodles of drama and a heady dose of pot-stirring but who's complaining?

Cast

Leading the pack is Thurston, whom ABC calls "adventurous, daring and ready for a man with whom she can build a life." She is a "marketing manager with an innate social media savvy and humorous outlook on life, she is a witty storyteller who wants a man that will laugh along with her and is ready to step into the spotlight for her own love story to be told." A total of 29 men are thirsting for Thurston.
