Greetings from the Bachelor Nation dead zone, where we anxiously await the next season premiere, brace ourselves for the inevitable off-season breakups, and try to come to terms with the fact that Bachelor in Paradise is almost certainly not happening this year. If you’ve been checked out since Joey’s season ended – here’s what you’ve missed.

Jenn’s Season Promises to Be Unprecedented
Starting with the fact that not a single minute of it takes place in the Bachelor Mansion. After finding out she was The Bachelorette literally the day before filming started, Jenn Tran kicked off filming for her season at The Hummingbird Ranch, before immediately heading overseas. The first promo video for her season was released last week – with a vibe that is decidedly different than promos past.
Our First Ever Golden Bachelorette Has Been Announced
Since Golden Bachelor ended, the ‘Golden Women’ have been seemingly everywhere. So when it was announced that Joan, who has been relatively out of the spotlight, is going to be the first Golden Bachelorette, it was a surprising and much-needed breath of fresh air. Joan’s season will air this Fall on Wednesdays, at 8 pm ET – with 90-minute episodes instead of the standard 2 hours.
Can We Steal You for a Sec?
- An update as short as their marriage. After saying ‘I do’ in a televised wedding in January, Gerry & Theresa have officially filed for divorce. There are many theories as to what ultimately caused the split, but the couple’s inability to choose a state to live in seems to be a key factor. Probably something you want to figure out before getting married? Just a thought.
- In our last Rose Rundown, we highlighted Victoria Fuller’s 1st anniversary with the ‘love of her life’ Greg Grippo, but as Taylor Swift recently taught us, the first ‘l’ in ‘loml’ can go from ‘love’ to ‘loss’ real quick. The couple officially called it quits in April. Seems like there was minimal drama, and they wish each other nothing but the best.
- Susan, an early front-runner for the Golden Bachelorette role, took herself out of the running – when she started dating a man after he asked her for a selfie at Marshall’s.
