Bachelorette: Katie Shares ‘Nightmare’ Moment With John & Michael

Katie Thurston, the lead on The Bachelorette season 17, jokingly called her outing with both her boyfriend, John Hersey, and former love interest, Michael Allio, a “nightmare.” Katie’s journey within Bachelor Nation has not been an easy one, facing a number of criticisms and drama throughout her time on the show. With backlash from her ex, Blake Moynes, and a number of other Bachelor Nation figures, the reality star was one of the most infamous Bachelorettes in recent memory. Katie may have surpassed her questionable reputation as The Bachelor contestant who brought vibrator on set, yet her journey has been anything but perfect.

While it took Katie a great deal of time to find her way on the series, she appears happier than ever with her boyfriend, John. Despite Katie choosing Blake by the end of the series, she has found a true love connection, unconventionally of course. Rewriting her past mistakes and choosing to give John another chance, Katie and John appear to be in love, despite the drama surrounding their relationship.

As shared by Us Weekly, Katie, John, and Michael talked about their paths all crossing in a fun Bachelorette reunion. While Katie teased that the experience was “a nightmare,” the reality stars seemed to think otherwise. Captured having fun altogether, Katie calling their time together “a group date.” While dining in Mexico could have turned out to be a fiasco, the three appear to have put the past behind themselves, choosing to focus on friendship and fun during their time out of the country. Despite Katie’s immaturity in the past, she seems to have learned from her mistakes, handling the situation with humor and grace, something well-needed in Bachelor Nation.

Katie, Michael, and John may have gotten along just fine as of recent, yet Michael still appears to have feelings for Katie. While Michael has moved on since the series, he and Katie seem to have chemistry, the reality star explaining he had “an insanely strong connection” with the former Bachelorette. The two don’t seem to be implying any romantic connections in the future, yet both have admitted that there was something special between them when they began falling for one another on The Bachelorette. Katie now happily dating John and Michael possibly seeing Amanda Kloots, both appear to be right where they should be, still friends and still aware of their feelings, yet choosing relationships that best fit their lives and needs.

While Katie may not be well-liked by Bachelor Nation, she appears to be thriving after being on the series, focusing on her own needs, rather than the speculation from her exes from The Bachelorette. Despite a failed engagement on The Bachelorette, Katie has not given up on finding her soul mate. Consistently strong in her convictions and her decisions, Katie continues to be a bold, light-hearted addition to Bachelor Nation. With the strength to reconnect with her ex, alongside her current boyfriend, Katie has grown significantly since The Bachelorette season 17, redeeming herself in the eyes of the cast and fans.
