Who Katie Thurston gives her first impression rose to on The Bachelorette [SPOILERS]

We fell in love with Katie Thurston because of her ability to see people as they are and her strong-mindedness, and it’s nice to see that she’s still as determined to find love as she was when we first met her on The Bachelor season 25.

With the news of Katie Thurston wrapping up her season of The Bachelorette at lightning speed, it’s clear that the new star of the franchise already knew exactly what she wanted in the love of her life, and with her giving out the first impression rose to this man, we wonder if this is the same man who receives the final rose.

*Spoilers for The Bachelorette season 17 below.*

Katie’s first impression rose on The Bachelorette

According to Reality Steve’s Twitter, it looks like Thurston gave the first impression rose to The Bachelorette contestant Greg Grippo, a 27-year-old from Edison, New Jersey. Check out Grippo in the tweet down below.

He’s well-dressed, has a nice smile, has adorable doe eyes, and all-around looks like a pretty great guy, which shows that Thurston definitely has some good taste and knows how to pick ’em.

While we have to wait a little longer until the first episode of The Bachelorette season 17 airs to see what made Katie Thurston pick Greg Grippo as a first choice, it is pretty nice to see that the season seems to be moving along swiftly and she’s taking this very seriously.

Now the question becomes if Grippo received the second rose, securing his spot in Thurston’s heart, or if he was beaten out by the other handsome contestants from season 17.

We’ll definitely know soon enough as The Bachelorette season 17 debuts on June 7, 2021. Be sure to visit our site Accept This Rose for all the latest on The Bachelor franchise and follow our podcast Can I Steal You For A Second? for all the spilled tea when the season begins next month.
