Last week, during a commercial break for Bachelor in Paradise Season 7, we got a glimpse of The Bachelorette promo for Season 18, starring Michelle Young.
The set was stunning. The dress was stunning. She was stunning. Needless to say, Bachelor Nation is hyped. But it sparked some jokes about the disparity between Michelleâs promo and the promo for our most recent Bachelorette, Katie Thurston.
Many fans feel like Katieâs was pretty lackluster in comparison, and Katie even poked fun at the difference on Twitter. Check it out below!
Yâall - I wore a rubber purple skirt (backwards) which was a shoutout to my vibrator đ𼴠Regardless, I found love and I hope Michelle does too đ https://t.co/XtNPhUTSCA

After all this, I started to wonder how past seasons stacked up. Do I have any experience making commercials for primetime television? Nope, but I have lots of experience watching The Bachelor and The Bachelorette, and I know which trailers catch my attention and which donât.
Today, Iâm ranking every The Bachelorette promo I could find from worst to best. Donât forget to share your own thoughts in the comments!
9. The Bachelorette Season 17: Katie Thurston
No offense to Katie, but hers really is the worst. I feel like nobody involved knew exactly what they were going for.
Katieâs just posing on random props in a white room and not looking very comfortable doing it. The purple dress is pretty, but girlish in a way that doesnât fit her personality. The song is boring and awkwardly spliced with clips from The Bachelor Season 25. And the âBe a Katieâ shirt is a bit cringeworthy, but if their angle was to present Katie as a role model, they shouldâve run with it more. At least it would be a concept.
Overall, this promo feels cheap, confused, and low-effort. Iâm giving it a 2/10 because Katie does look beautiful and itâs not totally incompetent â but pretty close.
8. The Bachelorette Season 14: Becca Kufrin
Like Katieâs, Beccaâs Bachelorette promo is just sort of bland and awkward. It is better, though, because it concisely tells Beccaâs story with Arie Luyendyk, Jr., the song is catchier, and her rose-gold dress is fire. I just wish they couldâve given Becca more to do than shimmy and fake-laugh.
This gets a 3/10 for being a bit lame but a step above Katieâs.
JoJo's back and she is fierce! Get ready for this bombshell.

7. The Bachelorette Season 12: JoJo Fletcher
This trailer is pretty standard. It shows us JoJoâs heartbreak on The Bachelor Season 20 and foreshadows some juicy drama on her season of The Bachelorette. I do wish they had shown less of the men talking about how hot she is and focused more on, I donât know, her personality?
Still, JoJoâs promo is fine if not groundbreaking. Iâm giving it a 5/10.
