What to expect from Michelle Young’s season of ‘The Bachelorette’
Now, Bachelor Nation fans will have to wait and see how Michelle’s season of The Bachelorette ends. But the new lead has been hinting at what to expect from her journey over the next few weeks. When speaking with Ben Higgins and Ashley Iaconetti on the Almost Famous podcast, Michelle teased some “tough conversations” with her cast.
“We had some tough conversations,” Michelle said. “We had conversations about race, we had conversations about culture, we had so many conversations about so many different in-depth, solid conversations that I don’t think are normally had on this [show].”
She continued, “Those are important conversations that were important to me and also important to the men in my season. So to be able to tap into that a little bit, and have the world to be able to see that, is something that I think is going to be really special.”
It seems like we’re in for an extraordinary season of The Bachelorette. But whatever happens with Michelle, we already have The Bachelor Season 26 to look forward to at the start of next year. So will the ABC reality series return to Monday nights? At this point, only time will tell. Stay tuned.
The Bachelorette Season 18 airs on Tuesday nights on ABC.
