A new kind of season! Katie Thurston is Looking for The 1 on season 17 of The Bachelorette.

Making her debut on Matt James’ season of The Bachelor, the Washington native turned heads when she came in the Nemacolin Resort using a vibrator in hand. While she didn’t find lasting love in James, she is excited to kick off the next journey.

I don’t understand what they look like. I don’t know how many guys there are here.”
