The Bachelorette 2020 start time, channel

The Bachelorette season 16 episode 12 airs Monday, Dec. 21at 8 p.m. ET. 

The drama never stops when you watch The Bachelorette 2020 online. This has already been the most dramatic season ever (for real this time). The Bachelorette season 16 started by following Clare Crawley's journey to find love — and she found it with fiancee Dale Moss. Now, the show is following Tayshia Adams on her journey to find love. Will she also wind up engaged? Only time (and maybe Reality Steve) will tell.

In The Bachelorette season 16 episode 12, Tayshia and the three remaining suitors — Brendan, Ivan and Zac — are going on overnight dates (in the infamous fantasy suite). That will be followed tomorrow by the season finale.

This edition of The Bachelorette is very different from seasons past, due to the coronavirus pandemic. But a few things haven't changed: The Bachelorette has a cast of men, is handing out roses and some of her suitors are there for the wrong reasons.

The Bachelorette 2020 was initially scheduled to debut in May and air over the summer, but filming on Clare's season was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In July, production resumed within a bubble at a resort in California. 

The intervening months saw an unusual occurrence: One of Clare's initial cast members was promoted! Matt James was chosen to be The Bachelor 2021, and he'll be the first Black Bachelor lead in franchise history.

Here is everything to know about how to watch The Bachelorette 2020 online, even if you don't have cable.

Over the summer, the rumor mill began churning that Clare had quite the show because she quickly found love with one of the contestants, Dale Moss. These rumors were confirmed by multiple media outlets and Bachelor spoiler king, Reality Steve. 

The reports that Tayshia Adams was brought in to replace Clare as the lead turned out to be true. Tayshia was on Colton Underwood's season of The Bachelor, as well as Bachelor in Paradise. Get more Bachelorette 2020 spoilers.
