Who will be our next Bachelorette? Here are the top contenders!

We’ll know who our Bachelorette is sooner than expected–the reveal will take place live on Good Morning America this Monday. The early announcement likely leaves Peter’s women out of the running–so, who might be handing out next season’s roses?

Good things come to those who have no patience–our Bachelorette will be announced in just three days! She’ll be revealed this Monday on Good Morning America, which means we’ll have our next lead prior to ‘Women Tell All’ (aka the typical ‘Ette audition). As such, it’s safe to say we probably won’t see one of Peter’s women land the role.

Rumors were circulating of a potential throwback lead; this announcement all but confirms that hunch. Our sleuthing experts at Bachsleuthers have been running a ‘Bachelorette Madness‘ tournament bracket on Instagram, with several retro picks, and the results thus far seem to align with the rumored top contenders.

Reality Steve reported the following women had formal interviews with production in LA: Kelsey Weier, Tayshia Adams, and Tia Booth. It’s true that the role could still go to Kelsey, but it’s hard to reconcile this early announcement prior to WTA with that pick. The race, accordingly, is likely between Tia and Tayshia. A third name has been recently thrown into the mix as well–Clare Crawley. With that, here’s a case for each woman as the next lead.
