It was a different Thanksgiving for former Bachelor star Arie Luyendyk Jr. The day marked his revelation on Instagram that he has caught Covid-19 and is dealing with the disease.
“Many of you have been wondering why we haven’t done Bachelor Brunch, why we’ve been so absent on social media and why I’m sitting like 25 feet away from the girls. It’s cause I actually tested positive for Covid.”
He continued, “It’s been rough. I gotta say it’s not been easy being separated. I’ve been on the other side of the house; Lauren (wife Burnham) has been really sweet, she’s keeping me fed. She just slides some food outside and then I go get it.”
On Friday, Luyendyk related his visit to a testing center.
“Still waiting… rapid tests are really hard to come by here (everyone is out of them) Had to...

Spoiler Alert: Do not read if you have not yet watched the Nov. 17 episode of “The Bachelorette.”
New Bachelorette Tayshia Adams had help searching for love this week, as several special guests joined ABC’s isolation bubble to host dates.
First, Bachelor franchise couple Ashley Iaconetti and Jared Haibon hosted the “Grown Man Challenge” group date, during which seven men attempted to prove their manhood by solving basic equations, demonstrating physical ability and preparing breakfast in bed. The attention quickly shifted to Bennett Jordan, the Harvard graduate who struggled with basic math and spelling challenges.
Bennett faced obstacles in the early round and was forced to forfeit the physical challenge due to an old football injury, but was ultimately crowned the champion after excelling in the breakfast in bed challenge.
Ed Waisbrot, who has been deprived of screen time for most of the season, was named the “Man Child,” and...

Tayshia Adams has been ushered in as ABC’s new Bachelorette. After replacing Clare Crawley during last week’s episode, Tayshia started her journey as the new Season 16 lead.
During a season of unconventional paths, her first night started traditionally as she took the time to meet each of the men. She started making quick connections before host Chris Harrison pulled her aside to introduce her to new contestants. Four more men joined the group with their own limo entrances: Spencer Robertson, Montel Hill, Peter Giannikopoulos and Noah Erb.
While Spencer’s first impression with the other men was less than impressive, he immediately charmed the Bachelorette and she rewarded him with the first impression rose. It gave him immunity for the impending rose ceremony, but she canceled that in order to give...
