Season 17

Katie Thurston sets off on her journey to find love with the help of former Bachelorettes and mentors Kaitlyn Bristowe and Tayshia Adams by her side.

This jam-packed week will give the suitors a literal wake-up call, take Katie and one man on a camping date, and even beg the question “who is the greatest lover of all time?”

Picking up during a heated cocktail party, Katie reminds the men that anyone not here for the right reasons can see themselves out. On the group date, former Bachelor Nick Viall helps the men share some of their personal stories. Moved by their honesty, Katie courageously opens up about her own story in a heart-wrenching moment. Later, Katie literally flips head over heels for her one-on-one date with Michael A., who opens up with a deeply heartfelt story of how he decided to follow his heart to New Mexico, and drama begins to boil over in the house. Is someone still here for the wrong reasons?

A group date of Truth or Dare seems to be all fun and games until the night takes a serious turn and the men find themselves contemplating telling Katie a slimy secret they’ve uncovered. Later, Tayshia surprises Katie with a revelation about someone from her past and the men band together to tell the truth, leaving one suitor to fend for and defend himself. Tired of questioning who is here for the right reasons, our strong-willed Bachelorette takes a stand like we’ve never seen before to ensure the house is filled with good vibes only.

Katie and Andrew S. have an important conversation about their future. One guy gets greedy with Katie's time. A rose ceremony brings Katie one step closer to hopefully finding her match.

After narrowing down her suitors to the remaining dirty dozen, Katie hopes to find out who has the willpower to keep it clean with a new – and hard – challenge.

Hometown dates loom, and the men feel the pressure of getting solo time. Plus, Katie embarks on a four-person date, and she is later faced with her hardest rose ceremony yet.
