The Bachelor Season 26 recently premiered its first episode with Clayton Echard in the lead. A total of 31 suitresses participated in the dating series and now only 22 women remain.
In the premiere episode, suitresses Salley and Claire left the show before the rose ceremony, while Echard sent four ladies home at the end.
Episode 2 of The Bachelor will see this season’s first group and one-on-one dates. It will premiere next Monday, January 10, on ABC at 8.00 pm ET. Viewers can also stream the episode over at Hulu on-demand.
Hilary Duff is the celebrity guest
The first episode of The Bachelor Season 26 will welcome some celebrity guests. At the top of the list is singer and actress Hilary Duff. She will appear during the ladies’ group date with Echard.
Duff will assign a task to the suitresses, which is to throw a big Beverly Hills birthday party. But of course, it will not be “drama-less”. One of the suitresses will be seen more interested in spending time with Echard than planning a party.
On a one-on-one date, one lucky suitress will get a chance to spend alone time with Echard. Their evening will be made by country singer Amanda Jordan who will give a surprise performance for the couple.
Lastly, comedian Ziwe will help the show’s lead in his second group date to find any red flags among the women.
