Summary
Amid rumors that aBacheloralum will be the new host ofThe Golden Bachelorette, Jesse Palmer set the record straight in his latest Instagram post. Jesse has been hostingBachelorNation shows for several seasons now, after Chris Harrison left the franchise in 2021 following a racism scandal involving Rachael Kirkconnell. Before Jesse became the permanent host, Tayshia Adams and Kaitlyn Bristowe co-hostedThe Bachelorettefor two seasons.Lately, there has beenspeculation that Kaitlyn would be replacing Jesseas the host ofThe Golden Bachelorette, which is currently filming and will air in fall 2024.
Bachelorfranchise host Jesse Palmer ended speculation over who is hostingThe Golden Bacheloretteby sharing a photo of himself with Joan Vassos.
Jessetook to Instagram to put the rumors to rest, as he shared a photo of himself posing withThe Golden Bachelorettelead Joan Vassos outside theBachelorMansion. He added the caption, “It’s been a busy summer,” with a rose emoji and hashtags forThe Golden BacheloretteandBachelorNation. Jesse also tagged multipleBachelorfranchise Instagram accounts on the photo, along with Joan.
In the comments section,Travelling_couple69thanked Jesse for “dispelling the rumors” about the hosting role, a comment that he liked. TheBachelorhost replied to other Instagram users who left comments, including from someone who joked that they would riot ifThe Bachelorseason 28 winner Kelsey Anderson’s dad Mark isn’t aGolden Bachelorettecontestant, with Jesse leaving cry-laughing face emojis. TheBachelorNation Instagram account said that fans aren’t ready forThe Golden Bachelorette, which prompted Jesse to reply, “No. They. Are. Not.”
Jesse Palmer Provides Consistency In Bachelor Nation
Jesse has become a fan-favorite inBachelorNation, first as a lead duringThe Bachelorseason 5 and then as the host (and providing consistency following the scandal) after Tayshia and Kaitlyn stepped in temporarily for two seasons ofThe Bachelorettefollowing Chris' exit.It was great to see Tayshia and Kaitlyn co-hosting together on aBachelorspin-offthat stars a woman in the lead role. Both know what it’s like to be a contestant and a lead, whereas Jesse only had experience as a lead before hosting.
Rumors that Kaitlyn might beThe Golden Bacheloretteseason 1host began when she posted a cryptic update on Instagram about being hired for a role after going in for an audition. She left her message very vague, possibly on purpose. What got the rumor mill spinning was the fact thatthe photo in that post featured Kaitlyn wearing the same dress she reportedly wore while filming an appearance forThe Golden Bachelorette. Putting two and two together, it seemed like the speculation might actually ring true.
20 Best Reality TV Shows Right Now
Reality TV is more popular than ever. With so many to choose from, here are some of the best reality TV shows to stream or watch right now.
However, Kaitlyn is probably just giving advice to Joan or helping out with a particular game or event that the contestants have to take part in. After all, it’s not uncommon to see alums appear on otherBachelorNation shows in a guest capacity. So while Kaitlyn won’t be hostingThe Golden Bachelorette, she should be considered for the role if ABC decides to shake things up. The two permanent hosts (Chris and Jesse) have been men;there’s no reason not to hire Kaitlynor another woman to lead the franchise at some point in the future.
The Golden Bachelorettepremieres September 18 at 8 p.m. EDT on ABC.
