Warning! Potential SPOILERS ahead for Michelle Young's season of The Bachelorette!
Michelle Young's season of The Bachelorette will begin filming soon, and a few spoilers have already made it onto the internet. The fans met the teacher in January 2021 after she was added onto Matt James' cast on The Bachelor a few episodes into the season. Even though Michelle was a late addition, Matt fell for her quite fast and knew she had the potential to be his better half. The couple had an adventurous first one-on-one together that cemented their relationship throughout the season.
After narrowing his final two down to Rachael Kirkconnell and Michelle Young, Matt James chose to send Michelle home before the final rose ceremony. Matt told her that she wasn't the one toward the end of their last one-on-one date, leaving Michelle completely heartbroken. However, during the After The Final Rose special hosted by Emmanuel Acho, Michelle and Katie Thurston were announced as the leads of two new seasons of The Bachelorette airing in 2021. Katie's season premiered in June, while Michelle's season is set to air in September.
According to spoilers reported by Reality Steve, Michelle Young's season of The Bachelorette will begin filming toward the end of July. Similar to the recent cycle with leads Clare Crawley and Tayshia Adams, Michelle's season will also be filmed in Palm Springs. Alas, Steve told his readers that he does not believe her season will be filmed at the La Quinta Resort & Club, and that producers will likely choose a different resort. However, it doesn't seem like Michelle and her suitors will be staying in Palm Springs for long. After their stay in the desert city for a few days, they will be headed to Michelle's home state of Minnesota. Over there, Michelle and the guys will be staying at the Marquette Hotel in Minneapolis. According to the hotel's website, they are currently booked out from August 5 to 29, and Steve has been told that this is for filming The Bachelorette.
After Minnesota, the cast and production team behind The Bachelorette season 18 will have another couple of weeks of filming. However, Reality Steve has yet to find out where they will be heading to. Filming will reportedly last until the second week of September, which is two weeks longer than Clare and Tayshias Bachelorette cycle in 2020. Season 18 will also start filming a little later, with Michelle planning to start her time as the lead seven to ten days later than last year's Bachelorette. However, Michelle's season will be bringing back regular hometown dates, so they will, in fact, be traveling to the suitor's hometowns. As for who will be hosting the season, Tayshia and Kaitlyn Bristowe will reportedly returning as co-hosts of The Bachelorette. With that said, Michelle's season will likely be the last season with Tayshia and Kaitlyn as co-hosts given that ABC should have a permanent host in place for The Bachelor season 26 in 2022.
With less than two weeks until Michelle Young's season of The Bachelorette begins filming, viewers are excited to see how her season will unfold. Will Michelle find her prince charming or will she end up with no one in the end? Hopefully, this journey works out for the elementary school teacher and she is able to bring her future husband home to Minnesota.
The Bachelorette airs Mondays at 8 PM ET/PT on ABC.
