Season chronology | |
The sixteenth season of The Bachelorette features Clare Crawley, a 39-year-old hairstylist from Sacramento, California, and Tayshia Adams, a 29-year-old phlebotomist from Corona del Mar, California.[1][2] The season was originally set to premiere on May 18, 2020, but was postponed to October 13, 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[3][4] The season also aired on Tuesday nights instead of its regular Monday night timeslot.[5]
Crawley was the runner-up on the 18th season of The Bachelor featuring Juan Pablo Galavis. She also made appearances on seasons one and two of Bachelor in Paradise, and on Bachelor Winter Games. At 39, Crawley is the oldest Bachelorette in the show's history, taking over from Rachel Lindsay who was 32 on her season.[6] Due to the pandemic, the entire season was filmed at La Quinta Resort & Club in La Quinta, California. Crawley departed the show on episode 4 after choosing Dale Moss as her fiancé. Moss became the first African American winner in the franchise's history. The couple broke up on January 19, 2021, but reunited soon after before ending their relationship for a second time on September 27, 2021.[7][8]
Adams finished in third place on the 23rd season of The Bachelor featuring Colton Underwood. She also made an appearance on season six of Bachelor in Paradise. It concluded on December 22, 2020, when Adams chose Zac Clark on the season finale, who won the competition over runner-up Ben Smith. They later broke up on November 22, 2021.[9]
This was the first American Bachelorette season to have two leads; the first New Zealand season and the sixth Australian season were the first two versions to do so, although the Australian version was filmed after this season but aired a week before the season premiere.
Production
Casting and contestants
Clare Crawley was named as the Bachelorette on Good Morning America on March 2, 2020.[1] Some of the other women who were considered for the role include season 22's Tia Booth and Kendall Long, season 23's Tayshia Adams and Katie Morton, previous Bachelorette Hannah Brown, and season 24's Kelsey Weier. Adams would eventually take the role after Crawley's dismissal from the show (see below).[10]
Notable contestants for this season include football players Dale Moss, Jason Foster and Uzoma Nwachukwu; and Tyler Smith, who is the brother of country music singer Granger Smith.
Filming and development
For the first time since the second season of The Bachelorette in 2004, the dates and travel would have to take place entirely within the United States because of growing concerns about the COVID-19 due to the ongoing pandemic. Filming was scheduled to begin on March 13, 2020 at the traditional Villa de La Vina mansion in Agoura Hills, California, but with the aforementioned pandemic growing rapidly, the season was forced to suspend production and filming was postponed to a later date. The initial destinations for the season including visits to Chattanooga (Tennessee), Reykjavík (Iceland), Rome (Italy) and Hvar (Croatia), but were called off by the production crew due to factors of the worsening outbreak, omitting international travel. Iceland and Croatia would eventually be revisited in the twenty-sixth season of The Bachelor.[11][12][13]
On June 17, 2020, it was announced that the season was scheduled to premiere in fall 2020 as COVID viral transmission cases had gradually started to decline.[5] The following day, it was announced that production was rescheduled to July, with the show becoming the first non-scripted American television program to begin production since the start of the pandemic. Production decided to change into an alternative single location to a lockdown-styled theme at La Quinta Resort & Club in La Quinta, California began in early July with a two-week quarantine for the contestants and crew before filming with regular COVID-19 testing is required and having their temperature checked, being resulted all of the contestants and crew were tested negative. Contestants were to have tested positive that is either a subject of not being permitted on the show or having to wait an indefinite delay to join the cast. Due to enforced quarantine restrictions, all of the dates would be taking place entirely at the resort limits to reduce public interactions. This was for the first time since season eight being not filmed at Villa de La Vina mansion normally in the first few weeks of the competition.[14]
During filming in August 2020, host Chris Harrison had to go into a two-week quarantine after taking time to help his son move into his dorm at Texas Christian University. Season twelve Bachelorette JoJo Fletcher temporarily took over hosting duties during that period.[15]
Due to the concerns surrounding in the current pandemic, the typical Men Tell All took place virtually across the United States where Chris Harrison conducted via video chatting from Nemacolin Woodlands Resort in Farmington, Pennsylvania, and the typical After the Final Rose special did not take place.[16]
Lead replacement
Crawley left the show in the fourth episode after she became engaged to Dale Moss. Tayshia Adams replaced Crawley as the Bachelorette, and the season proceeded. Given the unique parameters of this season due to the pandemic, Adams' season did not "restart" upon her arrival. Rather, all of the remaining contestants from Crawley's season plus an additional four men stayed to win over Adams' heart.[17]
Contestants
32 potential contestants were revealed on March 11, 2020.[18] Host Chris Harrison later revealed that they would likely be recasting the season due to the filming delay.[19]
An updated cast list containing 42 potential contestants was released on July 15, 2020, including 17 from the original potential cast list of March 2020.[20]
Three of the intended 32 original contestants, Matt James, was instead recast as the lead for season 25 of The Bachelor – becoming the first male African American lead and the second African American in the history of the franchise, following Rachel Lindsay from season 13 of The Bachelorette before Adams was named as the Bachelorette. Greg Grippo and Karl Smith were then recast for the following season the following year.[21][22]
The final cast list of 31 men was announced on September 29, 2020.[23] Four new contestants arrived in the fifth episode when Adams became the Bachelorette, making a total of 35.[24][25]

Controversy and criticism
During a group date on Week 2, 10 of the men played a game of strip dodgeball and during each round, the contestants were asked to remove a layer of clothing. This date was met with widespread controversy and criticism from fans and alumni alike citing a "double standard".[70]
J.P. Rosenbaum, winner of season 7 of The Bachelorette, wrote on Twitter, "I realize this 'date' is gonna have a lot of critics, but can you imagine the flak the show would get if this was [The Bachelor] and the girls were stripping down to their underwear?" Bachelor franchise podcast host Juliet Litman stated, "If it was women in that position, it would be completely unacceptable, absolutely scandalous and there would be this huge outcry. The double standard of objectifying men's' bodies like that and asking men to be in that position really bothered me because I would not accept it for women." Former Bachelor Ben Higgins stated that, "If this was a Bachelor season, no way this happens, no way they get away with it, no way it's appropriate, no way this just becomes a weekly topic. I think the show is super smart. They knew this wouldn't shut down the show, but it's pushing the envelope a little bit here." Contestant Yosef Aborady admitted that if he was invited to the group date, he would not have played the dodgeball game, stating, "Number one value is to have respect for myself and my daughter. I don't want her turning on the TV and seeing dad's ass." Aborady ended up being sent home by Crawley later that week due to an argument with her concerning the appropriateness of that date. Many fans expressed disgust with the date on social media.[70]
