Bring on the drama! Katie Thurston's season of The Bachelorette is filled with silly moments, makeouts and lots of tears, as per usual.
In a new clip that dropped on Monday, May 10, fans were introduced to some of the guys, who will make their grand entrance on night one.
In the video, two men push a huge box, which looks like a present, to Thurston. "I am looking for the Bachelorette," one person says.
Thurston is then seen rubbing a sponge on one of the men's chests during a group date — and it looks like she smooches someone pretty quickly!
One of the men even wore a cat costume when meeting the reality star. "I think it's purrfect," she says. "You stole my pun, oh my God!" he replies.
Then, one man arrives with a blow-up doll. "Cheers to not being that guy," one contestant, who is wearing a pink suit, says.
Of course, tears are shed. "If you're not here for the right reasons, there's the door," Thurston states.
The ABC personality became a fan-favorite while competing on Matt James' season of The Bachelor, which aired in January. However, after Thurston told James about some of the bullying that was going on in the house, the girls quickly turned their back on her.
While James was happy Thurston spoke up, he ultimately didn't feel a connection with the Washington native.
But things turned out for the best when it was announced that Thurston would be season 17's lead, and Michelle Young — who was a runner-up on James' season — would get a chance at finding love during season 18 of the show.
So, will Thurston find her happily ever after? Apparently, the leading lady wrapped filming one week early!
“Katie was in control and made sure the men she wanted were there and the men she wasn’t interested in, she sent packing,” a source told Us Weekly, adding that it “went great.”
We can hardly wait to see what happens!
The Bachelorette premieres on ABC Monday, June 7, at 8 p.m. ET.
