[Bachelorette Spoilers Warning: This report includes spoilers for Tayshia Adams' The Bachelorette journey and will spoil The Bachelorette's 2020 season.]

Tayshia's elimination decisions left 12 men in the running for her heart on Season 16.

The remaining men include Bennett Jordan, a 36-year-old wealth management consultant from New York City, NY; Ben Smith, a 29-year-old Army Ranger veteran from Venice, CA; Blake Moynes, a 29-year-old wildlife manager from Hamilton, Ontario, Canada; and Brendan Morais, a 30-year-old commercial roofer from Milford, MA.


Demar Jackson, a 26-year-old spin cycling instructor from Scottsdale, AZ; Ed Waisbrot, a 36-year-old health care salesman from Miami, FL; Ivan Hall, a 28-year-old aeronautical engineer from Dallas, TX; and Noah Erb, a 25-year-old registered travel nurse from Tulsa, OK, will also continue dating Tayshia.

And the rest of the guys left are Riley Christian, a 30-year-old attorney from Long Island City, NY; Spencer Robertson, a 30-year-old from La Jolla, CA; Uzoma "Eazy" Nwachukwu, a 29-year-old sports marketing agent from Newport Beach, CA; and Zac Clark, a 36-year-old addiction specialist from Haddonfield, NJ.

Several men are making big and lasting impressions on Tayshia.

Ivan, for example, received a group-date rose after serenading Tayshia with the best love song and opening up about his family and growing up biracial.

"We could have a really beautiful relationship. I'm excited about him," Tayshia gushed of Ivan.


And Tayshia also gave a group-date rose to Zac after the pair discussed marriage and how hard they'd have to work at it for a long-term happy relationship.

Tayshia shared how she definitely felt "chemistry" with Zac and viewed him as "intriguing."

"I want to get to know more about him. It also feels very comfortable, like we've known each other for a while," Tayshia shared.

In addition, Tayshia produced a spark with Ben, who won major points by sneaking into Tayshia's room late at night for an intimate chat. (Ed tried the same thing but ended up in Chris Harrison's suite).


"[Ben] says all the right things," Tayshia told the cameras. "He looks at me like I'm the only person in the world. Like, I don't want to be anywhere else than with Ben when I'm with Ben."

Meanwhile, Noah made himself Public Enemy No. 1 by throwing his competition under the bus.

"Noah is juvenile and ridiculous for a woman of Tayshia's stature, beauty and prowess to end up with a guy like Noah," Bennett Jordan vented to the cameras.

Since the passive-aggressive comments and "little jabs" were starting to get to Noah, he told Tayshia that some of the guys had implied Tayshia was just trying to "shake things up" by giving him a rose, which ultimately questioned her integrity and intentions -- and infuriated Tayshia.

So which bachelor won Tayshia's heart and received her final rose? Did Tayshia find true love and maybe even get engaged? Keep reading to find out The Bachelorette spoilers.

The Bachelorette Episode 8 spoilers

The Bachelorette's next episode airs Tuesday, December 1 at 8PM ET/PT on ABC.

The journey is getting real for Tayshia, who finds herself developing feelings for multiple suitors, which left her feeling anxious and a little overwhelmed.

The episode will kick off with Tayshia going on a one-on-one date with Zac.

Zac receives the chance to pose for a wedding photo shoot with Tayshia and get some intimate time with her.

Given Tayshia was previously married and divorced, however, the photo shoot brings back memories that flood Tayshia with emotion.

"In an all too real scenario, dressing in wedding attire floods Tayshia's heart and mind with past memories, but Zac C. is there to be supportive," ABC teased.

According to Reality Steve spoiler blogger Steve Carbone, Zac opens up about his previous marriage as well as overcoming his previous struggles with substance abuse and addiction.

Tayshia is surprised at the revelation but views the bachelor in a different light after he shares his triumphant story.

ABC revealed Zac shows "incredible strength of character" through sharing his own traumatic history, and Carbone reported that Zac earns himself a rose on the date.

For the week's group date, ten men attend an art class in which they must paint nude models in a class as well as creative self portraits.


Tayshia reportedly puts the following men's creative talents to the test: Ben, Bennett, Blake, Brendan, Demar, Ed, Ivan, Noah, Riley, and Spencer.

One man's work of art apparently brings Tayshia to tears, and Ben ends up receiving the date's rose.

Eazy then accompanies Tayshia on a one-on-one date in which they must face his fears and go ghost hunting on the property -- which is rumored to be haunted.

During the dinner portion of Tayshia and Eazy's date, Eazy tells the Bachelorette about the strong feelings he developed for her thus far.

"[Eazy] tells her at dinner he's falling in love with her, she isn't reciprocating, so she doesn't give him the rose. Eazy is eliminated," Carbone reported.

The Bachelorette alum JoJo Fletcher then pays Tayshia a visit and attempts to help Tayshia rationalize her unsettling emotions.


JoJo also steps in for The Bachelorette host Chris Harrison, who briefly left the resort to drop his son off at college.

JoJo reportedly informs the group of men there will be a cocktail party but Tayshia first needs to figure things out between Noah and Bennett.

JoJo therefore sets up an impromptu two-on-one date for Tayshia, Noah and Bennett and the episode ends on a cliffhanger.

However, Tayshia ends up giving Noah the rose and sending Bennett home for those fans who don't want to wait for the outcome on next week's episode, according to Carbone.
 

Tayshia didn't follow Clare's lead and google her bachelors

Tayshia insists she did not google her cast of bachelors prior to meeting them on Night 1 of Season 16.

"I did not [cyber stalk]. I did not," Tayshia confirmed during a recent interview with Us Weekly.


"When I was in quarantine, I didn't think that this phone call [to be the Bachelorette] was ever going to come. At that point, The Bachelorette had started [filming]. I did look at the guys once they were first announced for Clare, but that was, like, months and months ago."

ABC released an initial cast of 32 potential bachelors for Clare all the way back in March, and Clare previously admitted she had researched some of those guys and checked out their social media accounts.

A revised list of 42 men was later released in July, and then after quarantine and COVID-19 testing, 31 guys actually appeared on Clare's season and got to date her.

Once Tayshia began her stint on the show, she had 20 men to choose from, including the four newcomers who never got to date Clare.

"I didn't really have the chance to look at them before [I met them], and I'm glad I didn't, to be honest," Tayshia said.


Tayshia expressed relief and satisfaction over beginning The Bachelorette process with no expectations or preconceived notions about any of the men.

"I just went into it just honestly giving it my all and leaning into the process and honestly being me," Tayshia shared.

"And I loved that I didn't know anything about them and they knew nothing about me. They didn't know who was coming through those doors. I loved it all. I thought it was amazing."

Tayshia admitted she was hesitant to sign on for The Bachelorette only because the cast of guys had initially signed up for Clare, but it apparently all worked out in the end.

"I couldn't have asked for, like, a better group of men. I've always said that I want an older, more mature man that has depth, and all of these guys have exactly that," Tayshia gushed to Us. "It was, like, perfect."

Tayshia fell in love with more than one The Bachelorette bachelor

Tayshia revealed in a November interview she fell in love with multiple men while filming the show's 2020 season.


When Entertainment Tonight asked how many times Tayshia said "I love you" on her season, Tayshia replied, "I say it multiple times."

Tayshia admitted she fell for "way more" guys than she thought she would, but she dodged questions about whether she professed her love to more than just one guy.

"I didn't know it was possible to fall in love with multiple people, but when you just really lean into the journey and really be vulnerable, you never know what can happen. And it happened to me," Tayshia shared.

Tayshia also revealed she's "happy" after filming the show with the right intentions and an open heart and she's "possibly" engaged and in love right now.

Tayshia confirmed in the interview her time on the show "lasted a few more weeks" than Clare's journey to find love.


"You just really see the men... And the guys are incredible," Tayshia teased of what's to come. "But they did make me cry and there are a lot of fun dates and a lot of twists and turns. It's a really good season."

Tayshia said her time on the show was much harder than she had ever imagined and the process was "really intense."

The Bachelorette Final 4 bachelors spoilers

Tayshia's Final 4 bachelors were Ben Smith, Zac Clark, Brendan Morais, and Ivan Hall, according to Reality Steve spoiler blogger Steve Carbone.

Tayshia has been shown bonding with Zac C. and being impressed with their conversation, and Ben has been making strides to get to know Tayshia better and stand out from the pack.

Ivan has yet to receive much airtime, but he seemed smitten with the Bachelorette from the moment they first met.


However, Carbone reported it wasn't smooth sailing for Tayshia after she picked her Final 4 suitors and started to fall in love.

Brendan left The Bachelorette after making Tayshia's Final 4 bachelors!

Carbone reported that Brendan chose to leave the show on his own, which may come as a surprise to viewers since he gushed about possibly spending the rest of his life with Tayshia on their first one-on-one date.

"His family was the only one that didn't show up for hometown dates... Brendan's divorce was finalized just over a year ago, and apparently that played a big role in why he left," Carbone wrote November 4 on his blog.

"Guess he just wasn't ready to jump into another relationship."

RELATED LINK: 'THE BACHELOR' COUPLES NOW: WHO DID 'THE BACHELOR' STARS AND THEIR BACHELORETTE PICKS ACTUALLY END UP MARRYING? (PHOTOS)

Carbone, however, is unsure of whether Brendan left the show at Final 4 or Final 3.


"Seemingly you'd think that if [Brendan]'s family didn't show up for hometowns (all other 3 had family and/or friends show up at La Quinta to meet Tayshia), then she would've eliminated him at that point, leaving Ivan, Zac C., and Ben as your Final 3," Carbone explained in his blog.

"But I don't know exactly when Brendan eliminated himself."

It therefore remains unclear as to whether Brendan or Ivan finished in third or fourth place.

The Bachelorette Final 2 bachelors spoilers

Although Carbone reported in late September that he had heard Brendan and Ivan were Tayshia's frontrunners, the spoiler blogger claims Ben Smith and Zac Clark finished the season as Tayshia's Final 2 bachelors.

Carbone heard around the time filming wrapped in late August that Ben's sister Madalynn was bragging to people about how her brother had finished in Tayshia's Final 2.

"I know that Ben and Zac C. are Tayshia's Final 2," Carbone wrote on Instagram.


However, Tayshia was reportedly trying to nurse a broken heart from Brendan leaving once she had two men left in the competition.

"From what I've heard, Brendan is who Tayshia wanted. And when he left, she was pretty distraught but still ended up picking somebody," Carbone reported.

The situation sounds similar to what unfolded on The Bachelorette's ninth season, which starred Desiree Hartsock.

Desiree appeared to fall in love with Brooks Forester on her season, but Brooks suddenly decided to leave the show and walk out on Desiree during the last week of filming.

Desiree apparently got her heart broken and wasn't sure whether she'd be able to continue with the process, but she ended up getting engaged to Chris Siegfried in the finale. Many fans then criticized Desiree for ending up with her second choice.


When Variety asked ABC executive Robert Mills in a recent interview to tease Tayshia's time on the show, he said, "It's just as emotional as Clare's, but in a totally different way."

"Tayshia really allowed herself to fall in love with multiple guys. It's always such a roller coaster," Rob shared.

"At the end, there are a lot of heartbreaking, devastating moments. There's not really a villain. It's more like, 'I want her to end up with him. Wait no, I want her to be with this guy!'"

The Bachelorette star Tayshia's winner pick spoilers

Carbone has recently updated his spoilers and revealed Tayshia's winner in his blog.

According to Carbone's November 4 post, Tayshia's final rose went to Zac Clark!

RELATED LINK: 'THE BACHELOR' FRANCHISE COUPLES NOW: WHO IS STILL TOGETHER?? (PHOTOS)


"When filming wrapped at the end of August, Tayshia had chosen Zac C. over Ben," Carbone reported.

But does that necessarily mean Tayshia found her happy ending?

Tayshia and Zac Clark reportedly did not get engaged!

Although Tayshia picked Zac in the end, the couple reportedly did not get engaged.

Carbone reported in late September the conclusion of Tayshia's time on The Bachelorette may be surprising and unexpected.

"I do not think we had a normal ending with Tayshia's season," Carbone wrote in his blog.

The spoiler blogger did not provide specific details at the time, but the shocking ending could possibly be Carbone's early-November revelation that Brendan decided to quit and so Tayshia had to pick up the pieces after that with the two men left.


"I was told Zac was the one who opened up to her the most and professed his love, whereas it was much tougher for Ben, so ultimately she picked Zac," Carbone claimed.

Tayshia has said she didn't want to get engaged

The Bachelorette star Tayshia Adams reportedly told her cast of bachelors while filming Season 16 she didn't want to get engaged at the end of her journey.

Tayshia felt the need to tell her suitors she wouldn't be ready for a marriage proposal by the The Bachelorette finale, according to Us Weekly.

"I told them, 'I don't think I'm gonna get engaged at the end of this, I think I might just leave with a boyfriend or whatever,' and they [understood] and said, 'We're not gonna pressure you to do anything,'" Tayshia, 30, told the magazine's Bachelor Happy Hour podcast on Tuesday.

"You do what your heart wants, so I didn't ever really feel that pressure of, 'Oh my God, I need to find a husband right now.' So I just kind of lived my journey how I wanted to."


Although Tayshia's journey on the show didn't begin until a couple of weeks in due to Clare Crawley's initial stint on The Bachelorette, Tayshia assured Us that she had "enough" time with her group of guys.

"I don't really think I had too short of a time. That was a fear that I had," Tayshia said.

She continued, "I feel like if I had too much time, I might've done what Clare would've done, like, looked up all these guys on Instagram, kind of had an idea on who I wanted to talk to... And I loved that I didn't know anything about them and they knew nothing about me."

Tayshia said the guys "really showed who they are and what they had to offer" in the time they had together.

"[And] I did the same. When you know you know, I think," Tayshia shared. "Either you have an attraction to someone or you don't, and I feel like that's what I kept leaning into."

What about spoilers on if Tayshia and Zac are still together now?

Carbone said he's not sure where Tayshia and Zac's relationship stands now and anyone's guess is as good as his own.


"Some people have told me they aren't together, some have told me they still are but it's not that solid, and some have said it's never gonna last," Carbone wrote.

"She's a SoCal girl who wants to be an influencer. He runs a sober living facility in NY. So that's where we are right now."

Considering Tayshia and Zac reportedly didn't get engaged, they don't have much of a commitment to uphold to one another when times get tough.

When did ABC know they would have to have Tayshia replace Clare?

Rob Mills told Variety that after filming Episode 3 of The Bachelorette's sixteenth season, it was pretty obvious Clare wouldn't be able to fake it with the other guys since her mind was so focused on Dale.

Rob and the other producers were thinking to themselves, "How do we make this a horse race?"


"We have to keep people invested for 10 weeks, and they're just going to see her wanting to be with Dale. She made other connections with other guys -- she was okay kissing them and there was definitely a lot of great drama and all of the typical things that you like on The Bachelor," Rob explained.

"But our one big worry was that we wanted to make sure that she really wanted to be with Dale and wouldn't make another connection with someone else. But by Week 3, she was really emotional over it and she was crying and there were real feelings there."

Rob also said "the guys had checked out" by that point and were "just sort of done."

"They're stuck in this one place -- it's not like we could travel and have that to look forward to -- so the bubble was starting to close in on itself... The guys felt a little spurned that they're going all in for Clare," Rob said.

"They've left their jobs to be there, they've quarantined there, it's insanely hot in Palm Springs, and they never really had a chance because Clare only had eyes for one guy. You just go with instinct at that point."

By the end of filming Episode 3, Rob recalled, "The producers started discussing like, 'What would happen if she wants to leave with Dale?' And that's when the producers thought that maybe we should reach out to Tayshia."

The producers had previously met with Tayshia because she was in consideration to star on The Bachelorette's sixteenth season.

"We had met with her earlier and told her that this time, it's going to be Clare," Rob told Variety in his recent interview.

"So since [Clare and Dale] was so unexpected, she came in and basically said, 'You never know when things are going to shake up in your life.' And we are so lucky that we ended up getting two all-time Bachelorettes."

Rob clarified of producers' decision to switch the lead, "There really wasn't the luxury of time, so it was really instinctual."

Rob also insisted replacing Clare with Tayshia was a "roll of the dice" and never a pre-meditated situation, which Carbone had previously claimed. (Carbone said producers knew all along Tayshia would take over for Clare at some point).


Rob said the fact people are questioning the validity of Clare and Tayshia's storyline is "insane."

"You just think, 'Oh my gosh, I swear we didn't plan this,'" Rob insisted.

Tayshia was almost The Bachelorette's star last year!

Tayshia was widely reported to be a frontrunner for The Bachelorette's Season 15 leading lady, but the position ultimately went to Hannah Brown.

Tayshia therefore appeared on last year's edition of Bachelor in Paradise, where she fell in love with John Paul Jones but dumped him before the season concluded.

While the couple briefly reconciled and began dating in the real world after leaving Paradise, Tayshia and John Paul ultimately split in October 2019.


Just days before Clare was announced as The Bachelorette star earlier this year, Tayshia admitted to ET that she would be "ready" for the gig.

"I have to say, anything that comes my way, I am ready for," Tayshia shared in late February. "I am ready for love!"

The Bachelorette's new season was originally supposed to have filmed in March and premiered on May 18, but global health restrictions in light of coronavirus had shut down nearly all Hollywood productions.

Clare began filming her portion of The Bachelorette in mid-July.

News of Tayshia's participation first shocked the world on July 31 when a spoiler about her replacing Clare was posted on Reddit and then Carbone tweeted there was "some serious validity" to the posting.

Entertainment Tonight subsequently confirmed on August 3 that Tayshia became the new star of The Bachelorette but Clare's short journey to find love would also be featured on the show this fall.
