While Spencer’s first impression with the other men was less than impressive, he immediately charmed the Bachelorette and she rewarded him with the first impression rose. (She was replaced by Adams.) It’s also unclear who will emerge as this season’s villain, though there was unspecified beef between Aaron, an insurance agent, and Cody, a zipper sales manager.

Adams and Bristowe are not “hosts,” exactly - they’re “special guests.” While the pair were initially announced as hosts of this edition of “The Bachelorette,” they functioned in the premiere mostly as a support team for Thurston and were identified as “special guests” in the end credits. ![]() Harrison, who has been the face and voice of the franchise since its debut in 2002, was not mentioned during the two-hour episode, nor were there any references to last season’s turmoil, including Thurston’s crucial role in calling out bullying among some of the contestants.Ģ.
