Abc Bachelorette Time Tonight

“The Bachelorette” airs on ABC at 8 p.m. This season will be different for many reasons, not just because the cast won’t be traveling to romantic locales around the world. (They’re marooned at.

The Monday time slot is taken by Dancing With The Stars. Former star of both The Bachelor and The Bachelorette, Kaitlyn Bristowe, is the only DWTS celebrity announcement so far. A new show from super producer, David E. Kelley, will air after The Bachelorette. Kelley will serve as a writer and head honcho of Big Sky, starring Ryan.

That Americans have a long, rough week ahead is an understatement. It’s not even Election Day yet, and already, America is seeing record voter turnout. Very few elections have felt as important as this one, so ABC is not looking to distract anyone from this monumental moment by airing a new episode of The Bachelorette in its usual Tuesday time slot. But for those of us who need a momentary two-hour break from reality, especially during the chaos of the election that is sure to drag on after November 3, The Bachelorette will still air on ABC this week in a special time slot.

The newest episode of The Bachelorette will hit your TV and laptop screens this Thursday, November 5 at 8 p.m. EST, and the episode will last two hours. It’s also only fitting that this week’s episode is an unusual one: promos for the show have finally admitted that the rumors are true and that Clare Crawley will abruptly exit the series partway through the episode, making way for former Bachelor and Bachelor in Paradise contestant Tayshia Adams to take over the season.

This will only be Clare’s fourth episode, but she’s already found her frontrunner — last week, she even offhandedly referred to Dale Moss as her fiancé. “You guys got a little cheated. You didn’t really have an honest chance to find love,” Chris Harrison tells the season’s lineup of guys in a new preview. “So your new Bachelorette is on her way here right now. The big question: who is she?” The promo cuts before panning to Tayshia, but ABC confirmed her role as the Bachelorette at the end of last week’s episode.

This season has already undergone many scheduling changes. Usually, The Bachelorette airs in the spring — and, like The Bachelor, always on Mondays. But because the COVID-19 pandemic delayed filming, this season premiered in the fall for the first time. In a livestream, Harrison explained that Dancing With the Stars was already scheduled to air Mondays at 8 p.m., hence the switch. But he made sure to promise that Tuesdays can be just as dramatic.

The drama won’t really start, though, until Thursday.

Sorry in advance, but Clare Crawley's season of The Bachelorette is shaping up to truly be one of the most dramatic seasons ever. The only thing that rivals it in terms of drama is all the news coming out about this year's election. As most fans have figured out by this point, Election Day 2020 falls on The Bachelorette's night, so viewers are wondering: Will The Bachelorette air on Election Day 2020? The show is getting bumped from Nov. 3 to Nov. 5.

The Bachelorette's schedule has been full of changes this season. Usually, the Bachelor franchise shows air on Monday nights on ABC. But since Season 16 of The Bachelorette was delayed due to the coronavirus pandemic, it's airing at the same time as another ABC fan-favorite: Dancing With the Stars. Since DWTS is currently in that Monday night slot, this season of The Bachelorette has been airing on Tuesdays.

However, Tuesday, Nov. 3 is Election Day, and this is one of the biggest elections U.S. history. All eyes (and TV news channels) will be on the election returns, so The Bachelorette is giving up its Tuesday night spot. Instead, the next episode of The Bachelorette will air a couple nights later, on Thursday, Nov. 5.

But don't worry; after that, the show will return to its normal time slot Tuesday nights.

It looks like Thursday's episode is going to be a big one, and not just because of the schedule change. There have been many reports that Clare will leave halfway through her season, and it seems like the show is building to that exit in the next episode. Tayshia Adams will reportedly replace Clare as the Bachelorette, and it seems like even Clare could be on board for that change. She told Entertainment Tonight, 'I wanted Tayshia as the Bachelorette... like, I support her. I think she's beautiful, I think she's a very grounded woman, a woman who knows what she wants. I completely support that, I supported her....I've wanted her to be the Bachelorette forever. I always was for that.'

Season 16 of The Bachelorette continues on Thursday, Nov. 5, at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.
