The Bachelorette premiered on ABC on January 8, 2003, with lead Trista Rehn (now Sutter), the runner-up on The Bachelor season 1. Since then, there have been more than 18 Bachelorettes, including fan-favorites like season 12’s Kaitlyn Bristowe, season 13’s Rachel Lindsay, and season 15’s Hannah Brown.

The Bachelorette follows the same format as The Bachelor, which sees dozens of contestants compete for one single lead. Each week, the Bachelor or Bachelorette goes on dates with his or her contestants—either one-on-one or in groups—and decides which contestants to give roses to (which allows them to move on to the next week) and which to eliminate.

The Bachelor and The Bachelorette follow this format until the final Rose Ceremony with the final two contestants, where the lead chooses one contestant to give their Final Rose to and one to send home. The Final Rose Ceremony also often sees the lead get engaged to his winner. A special titled “After the Final Rose” also airs after the finale, which sees the lead recap their season and update viewers on their relationship with their winner.

Since The Bachelor franchise’s premiere in 2002, Bachelor Nation has seen dozens of Bachelors and contestants find love with each other.

Who is The Bachelorette 2024 host?

The Bachelorette Season 21 host is Jesse Palmer, who was the season 5 Bachelor in 2004 and was the youngest Bachelor in Bachelor Nation history at 24 years old. Jesse hosted his first Bachelor franchise show in 2022 with The Bachelor season 26 with Clayton Echard. During The Bachelor season 5 finale, Jesse gave his Final Rose to Jessica Bowlin, but didn’t propose to her. Jesse and Jessica continued to date, but ended their relationship a few weeks after the finale of their Bachelor season aired. In June 2020, Jesse and his girlfriend, Emely Fardo, married in an intimate wedding in New York City. Jesse told Us Weekly in November 2021 that he and Emely planned to marry in Provence, France, before the current health crisis cancelled their wedding date. “We had originally planned a wedding in Provence, France, for summer 2020, which was postponed until summer of 2021 due to the pandemic, but we didn’t want to wait any longer,” he said at the time. “So, we had a small, private and intimate ceremony with close friends who lived in New York City.”

Jesse was announced as The Bachelor season 26 host in September 2021. “For more than 20 years, The Bachelor has brought the world dozens of unforgettable love stories, including at one time, my own,” he said at the time. “Falling in love is one of life’s greatest gifts, and I am humbled by the opportunity to return to the show as host this season to offer the newest Bachelor advice gained from firsthand experience and I am grateful to play a small part in his journey.” The announcement came after Chris Harrison, the former host of Bachelor Nation, confirmed in June 2021 that he had retired as the franchise’s host after 19 years. “I’ve had a truly incredible run as host of The Bachelor franchise and now I’m excited to start a new chapter,” he wrote in an Instagram post at the time. “I’m so grateful to Bachelor Nation for all of the memories we’ve made together. While my two-decade journey is wrapping up, the friendships I’ve made will last a lifetime.”

The Bachelorette airs on Mondays at 8 p.m. on ABC and is available to stream on Hulu. Here’s how to watch it for free.
