A new woman kicks off her quest for love on the season premiere of “The Bachelorette” on Monday night, and Season 12 stars JoJo Fletcher, a name “Bachelor” fans will remember from last season. “Why would a former D-I quarterback need to go on a reality TV show to meet a girl?” you might ask yourself. “But I like to say it’s a real unicorn”.

Fletcher, 25, left “The Bachelor” heartbroken last season after Ben Higgins told her that while he loved her, his feelings for Lauren Bushnell were stronger.
When we chatted with Andi by phone – about her bombshell of a book that we still haven’t fully recovered from – she said she had already talked to JoJo “a little” before her journey began.
In that, she echoes previous Bachelorette Kaitlyn Bristowe, who called the process “very hard and very exhausting” in an interview. This was a very wide spectrum of guys in their walks of life to the way they look. Or the man who showed up as a surprise at the end of the episode?
We have absolutely no idea what possessed one guy to arrive at the mansion dressed as Santa Claus tonight, but we thank him for doing so. “But I value those opinions and I want to know what they think”. “It was a lot more than I think I expected, in every sense you can think of”, The Hollywood Reporter quoted.
She still speaks highly of Ben, calling him “a phenomenal and unbelievable man”, so she did use him as a bit of the standard for what she was looking for. “I am going to have a few chats with them before the season starts”, she explained. Maybe. Anyone who feels like tuning in for the 2016 season can watch what happens, then hope JoJo is still happy with her Chosen One this time next year.
And if you thought Farrar was taking pot-shots from a safe distance, think again: Farrar is besties with Olivia Munn (whom she also trains).
A guy made a “Damn Daniel”, joke and it totally went over attractive little Jojo’s head. I know the president and the executives are talking about more diversity not just on The Bachelor but throughout the industry, and that’s a wonderful thing, and it’s a debate and a conversation that will continue and it should continue.
– Wells, a radio DJ, was accompanied by the R&B group All-4-One, who sang their hit “I Swear”.
