After the MTA reunion show, Tayshia Adams and Kaitlyn Bristowe, along with star Katie Thurston and her contestants, spoke about the shift they've seen on TheBachelorette following controversy
“I definitely have seen them make the changes that I would encourage, which is a diverse cast and and more screen time for the contestants that are BIPOC,” Thurston toldtaping. “Those changes are happening. Obviously, there’s always room for improvement, but I feel like I’ve seen that with my season and these men getting to share their stories and having that screen time.”
One such story was a conversation between fan-favorite Andrew Spencer and Thurston about their potential future as an interracial couple and the challenges they would likely face going forward, a rare moment of real-world issues that has seldom been seen on the franchise. “Regardless if [next season’s lead] Michelle [Young] was our Bachelorette or Katie, I was still going to bring uncomfortable conversations. We were going through something in the real world that we haven’t seen for a while, and I’m tired of it being uncomfortable conversation and just not regular conversation,” Spencer said, also speaking toat the taping.
Fellow contestant Tre Cooper said watching that conversation back “was huge. As a Black man, I’m so appreciative of him having that conversation because growing up in rural Georgia, it’s something that I’ve had to deal with too. Interracial relationships, even in ’21, are something that is not respected and well-received by everyone.”
Cooper continued, “That was an important conversation for everyone to see. wWe’re making progress as a nation and as a show, but there’s still room to grow. Definitely that we’re having these hard conversations is a good step.”
