Should we get a Season 17 thread? Filming location has been revealed - in Canada! They're slowly easing their way into international bubbles by the looks of it.

Quote

The mystery surrounding a 65-day booking at an iconic hotel in Jasper, Alta., has been solved — and the Rocky Mountain resort will need to stock up on some lush, long-stemmed roses.

The Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge will serve as a romantic backdrop for the upcoming season of The Bachelorette, a source familiar with the production, speaking on condition of anonymity, confirmed with CBC News.

The cast and crew of the American reality series, which is entering its 17th season, will be on location at the resort between Feb. 23 and April 29.

I’m not ruling out Becca K at this point. 

I really hope not. She was dull the first time around, and if I never hear "let's do the damn thing!" again, it will be too soon.

So does this mean the Bachelorette could be a Canadian?

Serena P. is Canadian. But she's only 22, so that would be a hard sell for me.

I have the sinking feeling that we'll end up with an unpopular Bachelorette. There hasn't been anyone from the three most recent Bachelor seasons (including the current one) who I think would make a good Bachelorette, and I don't want to see a retread of any of the former Bachelorettes who are currently single (except maybe Ashley Hebert, but I doubt she'd do it so soon after her separation from JP).

I think it's going to be Abigail. She hasn't gotten a lot of airtime recently but from this preview it looks like they're ramping up her edit:

She's got the most followers of all the girls from Matt's season so she would be a popular choice. And ABC would love the positive press they'd get for having the first hearing impaired Bachelorette.

Though Katie is coming across as a sympathetic character and is reasonably attractive, I don’t think the guys would go crazy over her, but since finding a partner is secondary to this show now, I’m sure guys would sign up just for the exposure.  I can see her handling the show well and I like that she looks like a regular person. Hopefully her dildo won’t be a running theme if she’s selected.

If she is the next Bachelorette, I bet at least three of the men will bring her a sex toy as their out-of-the-limo gift. With a comment like "this is for you until I'm the last man standing, and then you won't need it anymore."

At least we don't have to worry about Carly being the Bachelorette.

From PEOPLE:

"Lots of people are asking me if I would do another Bachelor show," said Waddell, 35, who was originally a contestant on Chris Soules' season of The Bachelor, and appeared on two seasons of BiP, where she met Bass. 

"When I think about that I just start laughing," the mom of two added. "I can't even imagine walking up to Chris Harrison and being like, here I am again. I'd be so embarrassed."

Now you’re embarrassed? Asking for a friend

Asking her?    If so, not in the way she is implying.  More like, “you aren’t going to do it, right?   Please no!”

I don't watch The Bachelorette if Carly is on the lead. Time to pass.

Maybe she'd be another Jillian - not the most glamorous, but a ton of fun and someone who the guys enjoyed being around, whether romantically or as friends.

That is a much better selection process than whatever it is the show does. Come on Baby, pick us a good one!

Well, my sister turned on The Bachelor and watched it for a while, but Baby never came into the room to watch TV. So that shows 1) he's a cat with good taste and 2) none of these women are going to be the next Bachelorette.

Baby is a wise kitty. Probably a lot smarter than the rest of us. LOL

The resort they are at now is beautiful, but I am surprised they missed the opportunity to film where Dirty Dancing was filmed.  They could have have all sorts of DD themed dates like watermelon carrying and trying on wigs.   And when she was harassed, Matt could have stated “no one puts Brittany in a corner” and they could have had a big dance party afterwards.

I'm...torn. i really like her, so I want her to run from this franchise. She has a great edit, and I think she'd do great at whatever post-Bachelor opportunities that could come her way. 

Rarely do well-liked leads seem to emerge unscathed from being the lead. But I think she's going to handle the show well and may not be easily bossed around.

Bonus points if we get to see Victoria's reaction, lol.

  • Love 4

Interesting.   The won who told on the trouble makers was rewarded this time.   Wonder how that will impact upcoming seasons....

I am pretty torn on her.   Sometimes she is the voice of reason and sometimes it seems like she starts fires and then watches them burn.   One thing I do know, ABC had better not have a dildo theme, LOL.   

  • Love 3

It seems too early to even pick a bachelorette. I don’t feel like I know anything about her beyond the dildo. Yes, I think she’ll be like Jillian but Jillian had a great personality and after she did her season she got plastic surgery because people were calling her hot dog nose so it affects her a lot. I liked her old nose better. I wish Ed never would have come back.
She is also similar to Ashley because a lot of guys were disappointed it was her. 
I think she had a tendency to get friend zoned a lot but I can see her being a decent bachelorette out of the current cast members. 

  • Love 3

Besides DildoGate, I never saw enough personality from Katie to warrant her becoming the Bachelorette.  Plus, while I think she's somewhat attractive, I just don't see guys falling over her.  She's definitely no knockout.   I didn't think Becca was either.

Just like the Bachelor, I think the show has run out of leads with any kind of "sizzle."

I think she might work.  She is attractive and clearly has a sense of humor.  Also, if you think about how the best thing about Tayshia’s season was when they had actually conversations the fact that she is capable,of having them is a plus.  She also showed how to shut down Victoria without being rude.  None of the others have shown that capacity.

  • Love 10

I guess Katie is the best choice out of the current Bachelor season's contestant pool, and I'm glad that TPTB didn't pick a 24-year-old Bachelorette, but I just don't see anything special about her, and I agree she might end up like Ashley H. where the men are disappointed that she's the Bachelorette. I absolutely hated TPTB playing into Ashley's insecurities with the "roast" date and the Bentley situation, and have no interest in watching anything like that ever again.
