Bachelorette: Why Kaitlyn & Tayshia Should Host & Not Jesse Palmer
After the shocking reveal of The Bachelorette, viewers think Kaitlyn Bristowe and Tayhsia Adams should be hosting, not Jesse Palmer. In September 2021, Jesse was announced as the new host of The Bachelor franchise following Chris Harrison's exit in the summer. While Chris was on hiatus, Kaitlyn and Tayshia took over hosting duties for Katie Thurston and Michelle Young's seasons of The Bachelorette. Despite being an amazing support system for both Michelle and Katie, Kaitlyn and Tayhsia were ousted as hosts for Clayton Echard's season of The Bachelor.
While viewers knew their tenure as the host would come to an end, they didn't realize how much they would miss these former Bachelorettes. Kaitlyn and Tayshia were not only able to offer the ladies sound advice, but they were both speaking from experience. While Jesse has the same experience as Kaitlyn and Tayshia, it seems the women might offer a better support system for dual Bachelorette's Rachel Recchia and Gabby Windey.
There are many valid reasons as to why Kaitlyn and Tayshia deserve to be the hosts of The Bachelorette season 19. Firstly, season 19 will include two leading ladies, which Kaitlyn has some experience in. Back in 2015, when the Alberta native was The Bachelorette, she was competing for the role alongside Britt Nilsson. She and Kaitlyn were both announced as the leads for season 11, but there was a twist. On night one, after the limo entrances, the men had to vote if they wanted Britt or Kaitlyn as The Bachelorette. A majority of the men voted for Kaitlyn as the lead, and Britt was sent home. Even though Kaitlyn, who's getting married in October 2022, wasn't a dual Bachelorette for very long, she would understand what it is like to be in their position.
As for Tayhsia, while she never competed side-by-side with another Bachelorette, she was brought in as a replacement. When Clare Crawley left the show to pursue a relationship with then-fiancé Dale Moss, Tayshia stepped in as The Bachelorette. The California native understands what it is like to have to date several men who already dated someone else in the franchise on this type of platform. Tayshia had to prove to the guys that she was just as much of a catch as Clare was. While some of them were too hung up on Clare to pursue Tayshia, she was still able to find love with Zac Clark, who Tayshia broke up with a few months ago. What's better than two former Bachelorette's helping the current ones through their journey?
All in all, Kaitlyn and Tayshia should be the hosts for Rachel and Gabby's season of The Bachelorette. Not only are they experienced Bachelorette's, but they too had to date men who also dated a fellow lead during their season. There is still time before season 19 starts filming!
