On Thursday, in response to the show’s announcement, formerBiPstar Clay HarbortweetedthatBachelorettealum Andrew Spencer should “get ready.”
One person that likely will not appear on the show isTayshia Adams, who revealed last month that she has put a “pause” on a return to theBachelorfranchise after separating from fiancé Zac Clark.
“Truthfully, that’s the million-dollar question,” Adams said onThe Drew Barrymore Showin March. “I have to say at least that that time for me really served me. So, it’s taken up a lot of me time for the last four years. I’m ready to just, do the next thing.”
