'The Bachelorette' 2021 Cast: Who Has Been Eliminated—And Who's Still in the Competition
The Bachelorette's 2021 season (or Season 17) is currently airing Mondays on ABC, with Katie Thurston beginning the competition with her choice of 30 men. Over the weeks and across many rose ceremonies, she will slowly bring these down to the one who could be her next husband.
During the first week, Thurston eliminated seven men, including Jeff Caravello, who received much social media attention after he took the bachelorette around the not-quite-clean RV that he lives in.
In the second episode, she tasked 10 contestants with proving they were the greatest lover of all time. She then put the men through their paces on a post-date cocktail party, before having her first one-on-one date with the men she gave her first-impression rose to, in the first episode.
After a classic Bachelorette mud-wrestling contest, Season 17 got its first major drama— and its first major accusation of someone not being there for the "right reasons."
