A Full Timeline Of Clare's Bachelorette Drama

By now, we know a few things about Clare's Bachelorette season: she falls in love with Dale Moss (reportedly!), she quits the show after only two weeks to be with him (reportedly!), and Tayshia Adams replaces her as the show's lead (reportedly!). What we don't know is exactly when all of this happened. Here's everything we've culled from an internet deep dive about how all the drama plays out.

March 2: ABC announces Clare is the new Bachelorette

The network made the big reveal on the March 2 episode of Good Morning America. "The most important thing is I want a man that will take off his armor," Clare said on the show. "I want a man who is strong, but is willing to take off the body armor, open himself up and be vulnerable, and I think that is some serious strength right there."

March 13: Production officially shuts down

A Warner Bros.

June: Chris Harrison informs Clare that production is resuming

"We're going to start shooting your season of The Bachelorette in just a few days, and guys are already on their way," the host told Clare on a phone call that happened sometime in June, according to the Bachelorette premiere. The catch? Instead of the Bachelor mansion, Clare and her guys were headed to the La Quinta Resort & Spa near Palm Springs, California, where they'd all have to quarantine as they awaited the results of their coronavirus tests.
