Get ready folks, it's that time of year: The Bachelorette is back for its fourteenth season!
I will be celebrating as always, by grabbing my favorite iridescent wine glass, getting in my favorite sweats and pulling out my phone for nonstop live-tweeting when the drama gets to be too much to handle.
How to watch Becca's Bachelorette season
ABC airs all the Bachelor Nation (that is, The Bachelor and The Bachelorette) shows, specials and features on a pretty screwy timeline. Seriously, the Bachelorette airing schedule is pure chaos. You can catch it live on television, in the ABC streaming app or online, and on Hulu.
This season you can catch the premiere on Monday, May 28, at 8 p.m. (check your local listings just in case!). Most seasons are 12 episodes over a three-month period. Things change a lot due to sports though, especially this time of year, so plan to get invested accordingly.
To help you plan, keep in mind the episode lengths and types:
- Mondays, 2-hour episodes: The one where we find out how much drama to expect. Typically the ep where we find out what the date situation is and who is mad after the last rose ceremony.
- Tuesdays, 2-hour episodes (sometimes): Solo date nights, rose ceremony
- Wednesdays, 2-hour episodes (sometimes): Historically, Wednesdays are when the end-of-season reunion show will air. Well, that or if a sporting event gets in the way of a Tuesday or Monday episode.
Following along on Twitter is really easy since everyone in Bachelor nation uses the hashtag #TheBachelorette. Throughout the season more will likely pop up, and when we get a villain, their name will be everywhere (and a hashtag of some sort).
