List of episodes

The fifteenth season of The Bachelorette premiered on May 13, 2019. The season featured Hannah Brown, a 24-year-old interior designer from Northport, Alabama. Brown was crowned Miss Alabama USA 2018 and represented Alabama at Miss USA 2018.

Brown finished in seventh place on season 23 of The Bachelor featuring Colton Underwood. She was the first Bachelorette lead not to have placed in the top four of a season of The Bachelor, and is the youngest bachelorette in the show's history.[1]

The season concluded on July 30, 2019, with Brown accepting a proposal from 25-year-old singer/songwriter Jed Wyatt. However, during the After The Final Rose special, it was revealed that they called off their engagement in June 2019 after Brown discovered that Wyatt had a girlfriend at home.

During the second half of the game, Luke P. picks up Luke S, slams him to the ground, and knees him in the head. Blue wins the game 7-10. Later, Luke P. tells Hannah that Luke S. swung at him and he acted in self-defense. He says that when Hannah is gone, Luke S. only speaks about his liquor company.

Back at the estate, Mike has left the room, so Luke P. receives the date card. Jed receives the group date rose.

The next morning, as Luke P. leaves for his one-on-one date, he attempts and fails to make small talk with the other men. Hannah and Luke start their date in a field of flowers. They talk on the side of Urquhart Castle overlooking Loch Ness about why the other contestants don't like Luke P. He admits that he "screwed up" but still thinks that Luke S. was there for the wrong reasons, that the other men "blow it up way out of proportion", and that "everybody loves him." Hannah calls him arrogant and tries to ask how the conflict makes him feel. He says it is unfair but it does not affect him emotionally. Hannah walks off in frustration, speaks to the crew, and tells Luke P. that she "needs more." She asks to know "the real stuff" and not what makes him look good. Hannah pauses the conversation and they go to view a castle. During an interview, Hannah states that she wants to send Luke P. home, but that she can't do it, even though she can't make excuses for him anymore. At dinner, Luke P. admits that he is trying to be perfect and that it is hard for him to let loose. He says he loves "every single thing" about Hannah, and she says that she is not perfect.

Mike says “It’s still the Luke P. show, homie. And it’s hella annoying.” The morning of the cocktail party, Luke P. goes to a church to pray.

At the cocktail party, Garrett grabs Hannah to ask if Luke P. brought up any other men during their date. Hannah says he did, but only because she asked. Connor S. walks in and steals Hannah away. Garrett confronts Luke P. about his conversation with Hannah. Luke P. tries to defend himself but is constantly interrupted by the other men.

Hannah expresses that although she does not want to be intimate with him, she would like to take the time in the fantasy suite to develop their emotional connection. Tyler accepts, and they spend the night in a houseboat.

Jed meets with Hannah in the town of Vrachasi in Lasithi to celebrate and dance with a Greek family. During the night portion, Jed expresses his concern to Hannah about Luke's behavior. Hannah becomes frustrated and tells Jed that her and Luke's relationship is wholly separate from theirs. At the end of the night, Hannah invites him to the fantasy suite, and Jed accepts.

Luke's date with Hannah is in Santorini, where they explore via a helicopter. During dinner, Luke discusses his concerns about Hannah's potential intimacy with the other men, stating that it would cause him to leave. Furious with the way Luke conveyed his thoughts and feeling that he has shamed her for her actions, Hannah sends him home, and the episode ends with no rose ceremony.

The episode begins with the conclusion of the rose ceremony from the previous episode. Tyler, Jed, and Peter arrive before it is revealed that Luke P. has returned in a last attempt to woo Hannah. She refuses to talk to him and sends him home for the final time. The show then cuts to the Men Tell All, where Luke P. begins without the other men present. Luke P. states that he has no regrets and would not change his behavior, but then clarifies that he has made mistakes and wishes to learn from them. John Paul Jones has a hot seat next, where he gives out chicken nuggets to the audience and a fan cuts off a lock of his hair. Mike also receives a hot seat, where he goes through his break up with Hannah. Finally, Hannah takes the stage and confronts Luke P. about his behavior, before addressing the other men.

Continuing from the rose ceremony in Greece after Hannah sends Luke home, Hannah gives Jed and Tyler roses, sending Peter home heartbroken. During the live show, Peter reunites with Hannah as they reminisce about their relationship, saying that a piece of his heart will always love her. Back in Greece, Tyler is the first to meet with Hannah's family, where he opens up about the fantasy suites and his intentions with Hannah's parents. Both give Hannah their approval of Tyler, and Hannah reveals to Tyler that she is falling in love with him. The next day, Jed meets with the family where Hannah's parents voice their concerns about the stability of Jed's music career, frustrating Hannah. She then meets with Tyler for their final date, which involves horseback riding in Fourni, where Tyler reassures Hannah that he is ready to propose. Jed's final date with Hannah is on the water, where Hannah feels seasick. The show ends with Chris Harrison and Hannah both promising to put the rumors to an end on After the Final Rose.

Hannah feels unwell about her decision and asks to exit the limo on her way to the proposal ceremony. She slips and falls, and a producer asks if she can go through with the proposal. She says yes. Tyler exits the limo first, indicating that he will not receive the final rose. He begins to propose, but Hannah cuts him off to let him know he has not won. Tyler says he will always support her and departs. Jed shows up, and plays a song for his proposal, and she accepts. They share footage of their time being engaged. The day after their engagement, we learn that Jed warned Hannah that he had a casual fling before the show. This upset Hannah, but she accepted it.

A few weeks after filming ended, Hannah and Jed reunited in a safe house in Los Angeles, as news broke on Jed's serious relationship prior to the show. Jed tries to explain his side of the story, claiming that his relationship prior to the show "wasn't serious" despite telling her he loved her. Hannah removes her ring and tells Jed that this was not the engagement she accepted.

In the live show, Hannah announces that she ended their engagement after a People magazine report about Jed's relationship was released. Jed meets Hannah on stage and apologizes, saying he still loves her, but she tells him she no longer feels the same way. Jed leaves the stage. Tyler is brought to the stage, where Chris Harrison pushes Hannah to say what she is feeling. She admits that she still has feelings for Tyler, and she asks Tyler out on a date to grab a drink. Tyler accepts. Hannah confesses this was not the ending she had hoped for, but that she is excited for the future as she does not "need" a husband or the validation she once craved, she only wants a husband.

Controversy

[edit]

On June 18, 2019, People released a story that contestant Jed Wyatt was in a relationship with Nashville musician Haley Stevens before and during filming of the season. Stevens stated that Wyatt promised her he was going on the show purely to further his music career, that he did not intend to begin a relationship with Brown, and any appearance of him pursuing Hannah Brown was simply "acting". She photographed an alleged note from Wyatt saying "someday we will be thankful for all of this".[62] Brown ended her relationship with Wyatt following this news.[2]

Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ a b Prior to the start of episode 3, Gwozdz was disqualified from the show by producers after accusations regarding inappropriate behavior in past relationships emerged online.[40]
  2. ^ After being unable to decide whom to send home in Episode 8, Brown decided to not give out a final rose and instead take all four men to the fantasy suite dates.
  3. ^ The episode was intended to air on June 10, 2019 and it was moved to June 11, due to the game 5 of the 2019 NBA Finals.
