Just when you think this show has done so surprises us: For the first time in Bachelorverse history, Chris Harrison will be replaced as host. On August 11, Harrison’s son, a big boy he’s very proud of, dropped out of Texas Christian University, and now the host has to leave filming season 16 of The Bachelorette while he is quarantined for 14 days. Former Bachelorette JoJo Fletcher will fill in as host. A source told Us weekly, “The moment he returned, Chris was told he could not put his foot back until he went through another 14-day quarantine,” he added, “The show’s participants and crew all had to quarantine the property for 14 days. after rolling the camera. But it did not occur to Chris that he would have to do it all over again if he just went away to take his kids to college. “Silly Chris, production at La Quinta Resort & Club in La Quinta, California, will not stop so you can give your boy a very brave farewell.
Fletcher first appeared as a participant in season 20 of The bachelor in 2016, and then starred on season 12 of The Bachelorette that same year, where they accepted a proposal from competitor Jordan Rodgers. Earlier this year, Fletcher and Rodgers had to postpone their marriage until 2021 due to the coronavirus pandemic. Us weekly reports that Fletcher will complete 14 days of shooting, and that Harrison will be out of quarantine in time to film the final few episodes.
