#These ‘Bachelorette’ 2020 Contestants Have Already Been Sent Home

“#These ‘Bachelorette’ 2020 Contestants Have Already Been Sent Home”

After being postponed for months due to the coronavirus pandemic, Clare Crawley’s season of The Bachelorette began filming earlier this month at a resort in California.

While the new season is sure to be very different than seasons past (for more reasons than one), it looks like a few contestants who’ve been sent home are already speaking out about their experience.

According to the Instagram account @Bachelornation.Scoop — who rounded up these posts from a handful of Clare’s men — contestants Tien Yang, Collins Youngblood, Josh Elledge, Ellis Matthews, and Alex Brusiloff have all been sent packing.

Tien shared a photo of a sunset and included the caption, “Found a slightly more diverse hangout.” Tien, who is Asian, seemed to be alluding to the fact The Bachelor franchise has been called out for their lack of diversity over the years.

When an Instagram commenter wrote, “Really disappointed that you’re not going to be on Clare’s season. It would’ve been nice to see Asian representation in the bachelor pool,” Tien said back, “Agreed, I’m rooting for Joe [Park]. I guess 1 of 32 slots is progress lol.”

Collins also shared a post, writing, “First and foremost, I want to thank @bacheloretteabc for this amazing experience. For those who do not know, I was recently cut from the show and I respect their decision.”

He continued, “Please do not ask me on why I was cut. Most importantly, I want to thank all of my friends, colleagues, and family for their advice and support through this process. Love you guys and this is only the beginning.”

Not to mention, Alex seemed to imply he had been diagnosed with COVID-19 — which led to him being sent home — but that’s not the case.

“Covid -2, Alex -0,” he wrote on Instagram before clarifying he doesn’t have the virus and adding, “Also, no I didn’t make it to the rose ceremony. It’s all a mystery.”
