Bachelorette | Season 16 Episodes 12 and 13 FINALE RHAPup with Shannon Guss

It’s the final rose and just like that, it’s the final podcast for season 16 of The Bachelorette. Wow, what a whirlwind season it’s been, or “world wind,” as Bennett would say. Two bachelorettes, a pandemic, no glamorous travel dates, some brilliant advertising for La Quinta, and a few broken hearts later, and we’ve made it to the finale. Ami and Haley hand out their final rose as they recap the absolute one-of-a-kind season this has been. This week, the final rose goes to special guest, host of Survivor Global, Shannon Guss (@ShannonGaitz). Load on the body paint and get ready to RHAPup episodes 12 and 13.

While we say goodbye to Tayshia, a new season of The Bachelor is just around the corner. With new contenders and new romance on the horizon, let’s see where love and this series takes us in 2021.

Did Tayshia make the right decision? Were you surprised to see Ben confess his love? Did Tayshia save the season? Share all of your Bachelorette thoughts with us on Twitter by tagging Reality TV RHAPups @rhapups and using the hashtag #RHAP!
