Kaitlyn Bristowe has conflicting feelings about getting replaced as host of The Bachelorette! The latest episode of Bristowe's podcast Off the Vine saw her address the reality show's decision to switch things up, with Jesse Palmer taking over from her and Tayshia Adams.
Bristowe expresses desire to help new "Bachelorettes"
Bristowe and Adams were co-hosts of The Bachelorette for its last two seasons, joining Katie Thurston and Michelle Young on their journeys to find love. Bristowe said she feels that Palmer is "amazing" and will be "a great host" for season 19. However, while Bristowe has faith in the season 26 Bachelor host, a part of her wishes she was still involved.
She expressed how she wishes she had the chance to help new co-lead "Bachelorettes" Gabby Windey and Rachel Recchia "so bad," especially to give them support from a woman. Bristowe acknowledged that her own priorities have shifted though. Not only is she planning her wedding with fiancé Jason Tartick, she's been busy on two different tours.
