[The Bachelorette Spoilers Warning: This report includes spoilers that reveal what happens on Katie Thurston's season of The Bachelorette, including if she ended up engaged to her final winner pick and her Final 4 bachelors.]

Guided by former The Bachelorette stars Kaitlyn Bristowe and Tayshia Adams, Katie had a whirlwind first evening as The Bachelorette's Season 17 star.

The 30-year-old bank marketing manager from Lynnwood, WA, was introduced to 30 handsome guys, most of whom she called "tens" on Night 1 of the process, which filmed at the Hyatt Regency Tamaya Resort & Spa in New Mexico.

On The Bachelorette's June 7 premiere, Katie seemed most intrigued by the men who were funny during their introduction -- including Connor Brennan, who dressed up like a cat, and Tre Cooper, who popped out of a ball pit in the back of a pickup truck.

Andrew Spencer did his best attempt at faking a British accent, and James Bonsall surprised Katie by waiting in a gift box during the cocktail party until she found a moment to open the box and meet him.

But Katie ultimately gave her First Impression Rose to the shy and seemingly sincere Greg Grippo, a 27-year-old marketing sales rep from Edison, NJ, who came across extremely nervous in his first conversation with Katie and gifted the Bachelorette a macaroni necklace his niece had made back at home.

"I appreciate you opening up... I do feel something is there, and once we can get past those nerves, I feel like a great guy is under there!" Katie explained, hoping to give Greg some validation and confidence.

Greg kissed Katie after receiving the rose, and he said he couldn't wait to spend more time with her.

Not only did Katie kiss Greg, but she also shared passionate kisses with "Connor the Cat" and Justin Glaze during the evening.

But at the first Rose Ceremony of the season, Katie chose to eliminate Jeff Caravello, a 31-year-old surgical skin salesman from Jersey City, NJ; Gabriel Everett, a 35-year-old entrepreneur from Charlotte, NC; and Austin Tinsley, a 25-year-old real estate investor from Mission Viejo, CA.

She also cut Brandon Torres, a 26-year-old auto parts manager from Queens, NY; Landon Goesling, a 25-year-old basketball coach from Dallas, TX; Marcus Lathan, a 30-year-old real estate broker from Portland, OR; and Marty Hargrove, a 25-year-old dancer from Reno, NV.

Katie narrowed down her 30 bachelors to 23 suitors by the end of Night 1.

"I don't have a Top 2 right now -- I have a Top 22," Katie said with excitement following Rose Ceremony No. 1. "I'm excited for what's to come."

According to ABC, The Bachelorette's upcoming second episode will be "jam-packed" and Katie's suitors will receive "a literal wake-up call."

Katie and one lucky man will go on a charming camping date, and it appears a group date will help the Bachelorette determine, "Who is the greatest lover of all time?"

Katie recently told Us Weekly that she's "happy" and believes "everything happens for a reason." So is she happy because she found love and is engaged or is she just happy on her own as an independent woman?

What happened on Katie's The Bachelorette journey and was she able to rise above the drama? Did Katie leave the show brokenhearted, as recent previews of the season have suggested?

Tayshia Adams and Kaitlyn Bristowe will continue to host The Bachelorette season 

Katie's entire season will be co-hosted by former The Bachelorette stars Tayshia Adams and Kaitlyn Bristowe.

The former The Bachelorette stars are replacing Chris Harrison, who announced in February he'd be "stepping aside" from his hosting duties "for a period of time" to educate himself on a "profound" level after he'd publicly defended racially-ignorant and insensitive actions that had surfaced in The Bachelor contestant Rachael Kirkconnell's past.

Then, the day after Katie's The Bachelorette season premiered on ABC, the network announced Chris' departure would become permanent and he would not be returning to The Bachelor franchise.

"Tayshia and Kaitlyn can relate to Katie's journey in a lot of different ways, which you'll see play out, so it was nice to have them there to help out with whatever situation came up," a source told Us Weekly in late April.

"Tayshia had fun and loved doing it. She and Kaitlyn made a great team."

"They act professional, they're on time and are helping the franchise as much as they can in this funky situation," the insider revealed, although there was reportedly a learning curve.

Unlike Chris  -- who had hosted the franchise ever since The Bachelor premiered nearly 20 years ago -- Kaitlyn and Tayshia reportedly had "to do a lot of retakes" during filming.

"It's a lot of memorizing lines," the insider continued. "They didn't have years of experience before hopping on. Scenes that could be done in one take with Chris can now take, like, two hours."

Chris initially came under fire when he called for "grace" and "compassion" for Rachael and also criticized the "woke police" and the "unbelievably alarming" response of anger and frustration to the young woman's offensive actions during an early-February Extra interview with The Bachelorette's first Black leading lady, Rachel Lindsay.

Chris' greatest offense seemed to be his dismissive attitude towards photos of Rachael that resurfaced from an antebellum-plantation themed "Old South" fraternity party at Georgia College & State University in 2018.

Chris apologized multiple times and told Michael Strahan on a March appearance on Good Morning America, "I plan to be back and I want to be back."

But Bachelor Nation seems conflicted over whether his reinstatement would send the right message considering viewers have been pleading for more diversity and racial equality in the franchise for years.

Katie's The Bachelorette season was filmed at one location

Like last year's The Bachelorette season and this year's The Bachelor season, Katie's entire The Bachelorette season was filmed at a single location. In this case, it was the Hyatt Regency Tamaya in Santa Ana Pueblo, New Mexico.

During taping, cast and crew were required to quarantine before filming began and then follow coronavirus safety measures throughout their time at the resort, according to Reality Steve spoiler blogger Steve Carbone.

Tayshia teased during a recent appearance on the Going to Bed with Garcelle podcast that the world will see something "fresh and new" with Katie's season.

"I think that people are looking for change in the franchise," Tayshia said following the Chris and Rachael racism controversy.

"And I really think that this is something that they're going to be really excited about."

Katie's season includes a returning The Bachelorette bachelor who joins after Night 1

As shown in a preview ABC released on May 26, Blake Moynes, a 29-year-old wildlife manager from Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, shows up on Katie's season.

Katie -- being a Bachelor super fan -- appeared to recognize Blake right away.

"Oh my God, it's Blake!" Katie said in the promo, as Blake was shown appearing to recreate the memorable Say Anything movie scene and attempt to woo Katie with a boombox outside her bedroom window.

Katie subsequently shared some information about the extent of her pre-show relationship with Blake in an interview with Us Weekly.

Blake previously competed on Clare Crawley and Tayshia's season of The Bachelorette last year.

After Clare quit The Bachelorette's sixteenth season early because she had fallen in love with her immediate frontrunner, Dale Moss, Tayshia took over the reins and then eliminated Blake in the process of determining her Final 4 suitors.

Blake was sent packing around the same time Tayshia had chosen to eliminate Bennett Jordan, Noah Erb and Riley Christian as well.

Thomas Jacobs emerges as an early-season villain reportedly

Thomas Jacobs, a 28-year-old real estate broker from Poway, CA, will stand out to viewers and becomes a villain early into the season, Carbone reported.

Thomas reportedly ruffled some feathers and rubbed some of the guys the wrong way early on.

"I believe he gets an early rose," Carbone wrote in a May 13 blog posting, "thus making him look like an early favorite."

Katie apparently didn't want to deal with the drama because Carbone says she will be shown eliminating Thomas in the third or fourth episode.

There's also The Bachelorette drama with Aaron Clancy and Cody Menk

Aaron Clancy, a 26-year-old insurance agent from San Diego, CA, and Cody Menk, a 27-year-old zipper sales manager from San Diego, CA, reportedly found themselves entangled in tension.

Given they are both from the same city, Carbone claims Aaron and Cody "definitely at least knew of each other and ran in the same friend circle," if they never met face to face.

Carbone reported that early in the process, Aaron went to Katie and told her Cody was "a party guy" who didn't sign up for the show with the right intentions of finding love with Katie.

Cody supposedly found out about this and confronted Aaron with frustration.

"I don't think it got physical, but, Cody ended up either getting eliminated in that moment or at the next Rose ceremony. Aaron went home a couple -- one or two -- episodes later," Carbone wrote in his May 13 blog posting.

Katie's The Bachelorette season wrapped filming early

The Bachelorette season reportedly wrapped production sooner than producers anticipated because Katie's journey to find love ended unexpectedly early.

According to a source, The Bachelorette "went great and it wrapped a week ahead of schedule," Us Weekly reported.

Katie was reportedly a decisive Bachelorette who meant business and so production ended on April 24, which was earlier than producers had planned.

"Katie was in control and made sure the men she wanted were there and the men she wasn't interested in, she sent packing," the source told the magazine.

After taping The Bachelorette, Katie returned to Instagram on April 28 and hinted at how she had started "a healthy relationship."

"Can't start a healthy relationship without being healthy," Katie captioned a video of herself getting the coronavirus vaccine, hinting that she may have found love on The Bachelorette this year.

Reality Steve initially reported some of Katie's Final 4 bachelors in May

Several of the men who introduced Katie to their families leaked nearly three weeks after production wrapped on Season 17 of The Bachelorette.

Carbone initially reported three of Katie's Final 4 bachelors were Blake Moynes, Greg Grippo, and John Hersey, a 27-year-old from Santa Cruz, CA.

"Those 3 I know," Carbone wrote in a May 13 blog posting.

"I'm not sure who the 4th guy is in the Final 4 yet. I've heard names but nothing I'm confident about. Those three I am."

But he then clarified he was wrong about one of the Final 4 bachelors

Carbone changed Katie's Final 4 bachelors and revealed he made a big error in a June 3 blog posting.

"I've learned that I was wrong about John making Final 4. He didn't," Carbone wrote.

"He didn't even make Top 8. So all the people who emailed me telling me there's a ton of people convinced Katie's with John, sorry, but that's not the case. He's not in her Top 4, let alone her Top 8."

Carbone explained he was initially convinced John had made Katie's Top 4 -- and maybe even won her heart -- because Katie recently spent a weekend in San Diego with some of her Bachelor Nation friends.

"I started receiving emails that one of the places she tagged she visited, Duke's in La Jolla, was where John Hersey worked as a bartender. This led to even more people telling me that they were 100 percent convinced that John is who Katie chose, they're engaged, and that's why she went to that restaurant," Carbone shared.

"I never mentioned it until now because that story wasn't based in anything other than speculation and it never made sense to me. Well, I can report now there's nothing to it."

Carbone believes Katie is also social-media savvy enough to know better than to show up at the place where her winner works when ABC wants her to keep the season's final-rose recipient a mystery.

Two of Katie's Final 4 bachelors therefore remain a secret, however, the spoiler blogger seems convinced Blake and Greg definitely made Katie's Final 4.

He later revealed the rest of Katie's alleged Final 4 bachelors

Carbone believes he has figured out Katie's remaining two Final 4 bachelors.

Carbone reported on June 6 he has discovered who allegedly joined Blake and Greg in Katie's Final 4 bachelors.

According to the spoiler blogger, Katie's Final 4 suitors is also comprised of Andrew Spencer, a 26-year-old pro football player who splits his time between from Vienna, Austria, and Chicago, IL, as well as Justin Glaze, a 26-year-old investment sales consultant from Baltimore, MD.

Andrew S. is reportedly the cousin of The Bachelorette alum Clay Harbor, who has also appeared on Bachelor in Paradise.

Carbone posted images of Katie's four alleged hometown-date recipients in an Instagram post on June 6 and also followed it with a tweet.

Carbone captioned the men's photos, "(SPOILER) Katie's final 4."

Katie's Final 4 bachelors are therefore reportedly returning bachelor Blake, Greg -- who received Katie's First Impression Rose -- Andrew S., and Justin.

Carbone did not mention, however, how confident he is in his sources and latest findings, and he has yet to report Katie's Final 3 bachelors or Final 2 suitors.

So who did Katie end up picking as her winner? Did Katie end up engaged?

The Bachelorette promo ABC released on May 26 showed Katie crying and yelling at a camera, "I'm done! Someone book my flight home!"

But according to Carbone, Katie left the show happy and in a relationship.

And not only is Katie in a relationship, but she is reportedly engaged!

"I guess the biggest 'spoiler' I have for you is this: Katie is engaged. However, I don't know to who," Carbone wrote on May 13.

Carbone has yet to learn the identity of Katie's The Bachelorette winner.

"I know you may ask, 'How can you know she's engaged but not know who to?'" Carbone continued. "Trust me, it's possible. I'm just not gonna give up sources on that, so yeah, it's possible to know one and not the other."

The spoiler blogger, however, apparently has no doubts that Katie accepted a marriage proposal at the end of her journey to find love on The Bachelorette's seventeenth season.

"Katie definitely got engaged at the end of this," Carbone insisted in his blog.

"And unless she breaks up before the finale, which I guess anything can happen, but she's happy and engaged as we speak, so I'd expect that to last."
