UPDATE 8/6/20 11:38 A.M. PST: It appears Hannah Ann and Becca are filming The Bachelorette as featured “friends” and will only appear in one episode, per Us Weekly! Wells Adams was also spotted on location filming — so perhaps they’re taking a page from the Bachelor in Paradise playbook! Either way, we’re excited to see this season play out. It can’t come to our televisions soon enough!

Is there another last-minute change coming to The Bachelorette?
Amid reports that Clare Crawley, 39, has been replaced by Tayshia Adams, 29, for the lead gig, a new plot twist has emerged involving Bachelor alum, Hannah Ann Sluss! Photos obtained by Us Weekly place the 24-year-old brunette at the reality TV show’s filming location on Tuesday and now, we have so many questions!

The outlet spotted the model at the La Quinta Resort & Club in Palm Springs with a large suitcase in one hand and her purse in the other. The location was reportedly closed off to the public during filming, so this can’t just be a coincidence! In two photos (HERE), Sluss can also be seen talking to producer Julie LaPlaca, while wearing a face mask.
Fans will likely recall the Tennessee native who rose to fame after getting engaged to playboy pilot Peter Weber on season 24 — however, the pair split shortly after the show. The last time we checked in with Sluss back in April, she was said to be enjoying a quarantine romance with NFL quarterback Mason Rudolph, but it’s unclear if the two are still involved with each other.
Is the starlet really single and ready to mingle again??
It’s totally a possibility! According to insiders working on the ABC hit dating series, after Crawley “blindsided” producers and quit the gig on a whim, they truly believe that anything can happen at this point:
“This season is so off the wall that absolutely anything and everything is on the table. Producers continue to reach out to women from the franchise in an attempt to salvage a season that just might be the most dramatic ever.”
Hmm, that’s interesting. We were under the impression that Tayshia was finally getting her shot in the driver’s seat and fans have already made it pretty clear they’re excited to see another woman of color lead the franchise. There truly are no rules to this process, though, so, we wouldn’t rule out another surprising turn of events.
Speaking of surprises, Hannah Ann wasn’t the only Bachelor Nation star spotted at the resort! Eagle-eyed social media users noticed a few clues that suggest season 14 lead Becca Kufrin is also currently at the La Quinta. Yes, the same Becca who’s fiancé Garrett Yriogyen courted controversy by sharing the “Thin Blue Line” symbol supporting law enforcement amid the Black Lives Matter movement. The two have sparked split rumors ever since the drama went down, but could she really be considering another stint on reality TV?!?

A fan page called @BachDetective gathered all of the evidence you need to see (below), including a theory that a green bracelet Kufrin was spotted with matches the same tag resort guests and producers are required to wear. It’s kind of a stretch, but totally worth checking out!
Crazzzzzy!
As we mentioned at the top, Sluss’ on-set sighting and Kufrin’s possible appearance comes after reports that Miz Crawley fell in love with contestant Dale Moss and threatened to quit the show. An insider has since revealed that Moss “contacted her before the show and they really hit it off” since production was stalled due to the pandemic. A group of backup suitors have been called in to try and get things back on track with Adams, or any of the aforementioned women who are now in the mix.
It’s interesting to point out that the latest Bachelorette promo does not feature any woman in particular, but instead, an ominous silhouette:
