‘The Bachelorette’ 2016 Begins Filming; JoJo Fletcher’s Contestants Arrive
JoJo Fletcher is not wasting any time as the new star of “The Bachelorette”! Less than a week after being named the 2016 lead, filming for Season 12 of the hit ABC reality show is underway.
Robert Mills, senior vice president of alternative series, specials and late-night programming at ABC, took to Twitter Wednesday to reveal that production on the upcoming season has started. Behind-the-scenes photos tease contestant limo arrivals, which will deliver the usual dose of sweet and wacky introductions.
Mike Fleiss, creator of “The Bachelor” franchise, also took to Twitter to reveal some night one highlights. Viewers can look forward to one of JoJo’s suitors greeting her with a unicorn mask, which is how she exited the limo for Ben Higgins’ season. And of course, someone will be lucky enough to land the first kiss with the 24-year-old real estate developer. Fleiss also reassured fans that JoJo is “doing great” and is “fun and full of personality.”
JoJo won fans over while pursuing Ben on Season 20 of “The Bachelor.” Easygoing from the start of the competition, JoJo connected with Ben on multiple levels. The Dallas native even told Ben she was in love with him. But unfortunately that wasn’t enough to win his final rose. Despite Ben admitting he was in love with her as well, he realized he had a stronger connection with Lauren Bushnell. In an emotional ending, Ben dumped JoJo during the final rose ceremony.
JoJo may have had her heart broken by Ben, but she ended her time on the show on a high note.
“It’s crazy,” she said when host Chris Harrison announced she would be the “Bachelorette” star during the “After the Final Rose” special following the conclusion of “The Bachelor.” “I’m so excited.”
“The Bachelorette” Season 12 will premiere on ABC on Monday, May 23.
