Taylor Frankie Paul Teases Wild Bachelorette Season

Taylor Frankie Paul isn’t holding back in her season of The Bachelorette. Just hours into filming, the 31-year-old warned contestants that eliminations won’t always wait for rose ceremonies.

Taylor called her cast “amazing,” but made it clear she values authenticity and comfort over tradition. “If I want to wear Crocs tonight, I’m wearing my Crocs,” she said, emphasizing a relaxed, genuine environment.

She confirmed she had already sent someone home outside of a formal ceremony after a contestant directly challenged her. “Absolutely not,” she said. “I’m not here to waste your time, please don’t waste mine.”

The star admitted the hardest part isn’t removing troublemakers—it’s cutting good contestants. Away from her children and familiar routine, the experience has been emotionally taxing, but also full of memorable moments, including chaotic group dates and surprise guest appearances from her Secret Lives of Mormon Wives castmates.

Taylor believes her future husband is somewhere in the house and teased a season filled with fun, chaos, and unexpected eliminations. The Bachelorette premieres March 22, 2026, at 8 p.m.
