“The largest group of eligible virgins ever assembled” have arrived.

Hulu just revealed the cast for “Are You My First?,” a new dating reality show from the producers of “Love Island USA.”

Per the official logline, the singles are “arriving in a tropical paradise with their hearts open and their V-cards intact” where they are “free to explore their connections without judgment.”

The press release adds, “these sexy young singles embark on a heated yet heartfelt journey, packed with romantic dates, revealing challenges, and new love interests eager to find ‘the one.’ Find out who’s ready to go all the way.”

The cast includes Mike Planeta, who competed on Season 17 of “The Bachelorette,” vying for Katie Thurston. He was eliminated in week six and, during his time on the show, shared with the cast that he’s a virgin.

Hulu’s controversial new dating show for virgins has revealed the 21 singles asking the question, “Are You My First?”

The reality TV series will follow the hopeful singles without judgment. Per the show’s official logline, “Are You My First?” will follow the daters as they “embark on a heated yet heartfelt journey packed with romantic dates, revealing challenges and new love interests eager to find ‘the one.’ Who will find that special someone? And who will go home hot, bothered and heartbroken?”

Bachelor Nation stars Kaitlyn Bristowe and Colton Underwood will host the upcoming Hulu dating show.

He later came out as gay, documenting his journey in the docuseries “Coming Out Colton.” Bristowe co-hosted “The Bachelorette” after leading Season 11, but this will be Underwood’s first hosting gig.

Josh Seiter, formerly on The Bachelorette and a pursuer of TLC stars, allegedly died in Mexico according to a February 18 post on social media. Now, some weird rumors are starting up, with conflicting reports from those who claimed to have seen him or had been with him at the time of his suspected death.

No Confirmation Of Death

It’s not the first time the briefly famous ABC star was believed to have died. Previously, reports of his death emerged on his Instagram, and people felt sad. With a tragic voice, Access Hollywood even did a tribute report about him. At the time, he allegedly died by suicide. But, he later claimed he was “hacked.”

Skepticism is high right now. The latest reports indicated that he died from a “cardiac arrest” in Mexico. Further news was promised via his Instagram account. But so far, nothing emerged. Many Bachelorette fans are skeptical of the death report.

Josh Seiter, formerly on The Bachelorette, passed away, according to new reports on social media. Apparently, he was found “unresponsive” in a swimming pool in Mexico. However, the validity of that might be suspicious as the ABC star already faked his death in the past. Read on for more details.

Rumors of Josh’s Death Emerge

Eight hours ago, a post arrived on Instagram on the Bachelorette contestant’s official account. Previously a similar post was also shared on platform X. The February 18 post on X stated that the former pursuer of Amy Slaton from 1000-Lb Sisters was declared dead by “hospital staff.“

On X, the message which came with no identification of who wrote it, added, “Josh was discovered unresponsive in his hotel room in Mexico early this morning.”

Katie Thurston formerly on Matt James‘ The Bachelor, Bachelor In Paradise, and The Bachelorette shared the scary news that she has breast cancer.

Candidly, she updated her followers on her health diagnosis which threw her into emotional turmoil. The ABC star’s news arrived months after her engagement to Jeff Arcuri.

The Cancer News Comes 5 Months After Engagement

Bachelorette fans felt very happy for the former flame of Blake Moynes when she became engaged to Jeff Arcuri in September last year. After all, she seemed unlucky in love with conservationist Blake, and her former boyfriend, John Hersey who she split from in 2022.

The news that Katie Thurston posted about her breast cancer arrived via TMZ on February 15. The outlet shared a screenshot of her text where she delivered the bad news. 2025 has not been a good year for Reality TV stars, as Teddi Mellencamp recently underwent surgery to remove brain tumors.

The Bachelorette alumna Katie Thurston took to Instagram today to share that she has been diagnosed with breast cancer. In a lengthy and emotional post, the Season 17 star said she is “ready to fight” and thanked her husband, comedian Jeff Arcuri, for his support.

Thurston, who began her Bachelor Nation career as a contestant on Season 25 of ABC’s reality fixture The Bachelor, said she spent her Valentine’s Day holiday figuring out next steps, including accommodations as she relocates to Los Angeles for testing and treatment amid a flurry of appointments with biopsy, fertility and mental health specialists, among other medical professionals.

“I experienced a range of emotions over the past two weeks. Despair. Anger. Sadness. Denial. And then strength. Purposeful. Ready. I cried a lot. I tried to even make a video instead of this post and couldn’t,” she said, adding that she will require chemotherapy.

Former Bachelorette star Ali Fedotowsky recently opened up about a less-than-ideal experience during a guest appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show in 2010. While Ellen DeGeneres was known for her lighthearted humor and positive energy, Fedotowsky’s recollection paints a different picture of the encounter.

Speaking on Kaitlyn Bristowe’s podcast, Off the Vine, Fedotowsky shared that while DeGeneres wasn’t overtly mean, her behavior made her feel “stupid.” Fedotowsky, then a 24-year-old reality TV star, believes her attempt to match DeGeneres’ signature energetic style backfired. She described feeling like DeGeneres might have been weary of interviewing a string of scripted personalities, and that Fedotowsky, as a newcomer to fame, didn’t quite fit the mold.

Bachelorette’s Ali Fedotowsky Recalls Ellen DeGeneres Being Mean & Nasty: “She Was Laughing At Me. I Felt Really Stupid”

The awkwardness culminated in an on-air exchange where DeGeneres even questioned if Fedotowsky was intoxicated. Fedotowsky concluded by saying,...

Ellen DeGeneres always made sure to tell her audience, “Be kind to one another” before ending each episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show, which is better than her usual address to her reality TV star guests of, “Are you a drunk idiot?”

TV personality Ali Fedotowsky began her career in entertainment as a contestant on The Bachelor and, later, the star of The Bachelorette, which is a pretty par-for-the-course background for the average Ellen guest. As such, when Fedotowsky made her obligatory appearance on Ellen following her Bachelor breakout in 2010, she assumed that the host would bring her “be kind,” soft-lighting, everybody-gets-a-puppy on-screen personality to the interview and treat Fedotowsky gently. But, like so many interns during DeGeneres’ 20-year reign of daytime TV terror, Fedotowsky found the experience of actually speaking to the talk show megastar and feeling her piercing blue eyes pick her apart intimidating and slightly demoralizing.

When Bristowe pressed Furlan about Lee’s showering habits, Furlan responded, “[He’s] not big on the showers… I feel like that’s European, though, ’cause Europeans… My husband was born in Greece. He was born in Athens, and his mother was Miss Greece, like so beautiful. And he said growing up,...

Unfortunately for Dancing with the Stars fans, there have been some headlines about the pro dancer Artem Chigvintsev that nobody can enjoy. Since those headlines are so off-putting, many Dancing with the Stars don't know that Artem claims he lost $100,000 due to "false" allegations.

With the newest season of The Bachelor rapidly approaching, all eyes are on leading man, Grant Ellis. The New Jersey native debuted on Jenn Tran’s season of The Bachelorette but was eliminated before the hometown dates. While he and Jenn weren’t the perfect match, his charismatic and positive attitude led producers to invite him back for his own season. Grant seems like the perfect bachelor to lead The Bachelor season 29.

This fan favorite will undoubtedly make an entertaining season, but some may worry that the experience won't be positive.

Star of The Bachelorette, Jenn Tran, made waves as the first woman to propose to the winner during her season’s finale. Jenn made for an entertaining season, with her enthusiastic outlook encouraging all 25 contestants to put their best foot forward. While they all vied for the Jersey native, there could only be one winner. Unfortunately, the season’s ultimate winner ended up being a bad match.

Jenn was initially introduced as a competitor on season 28 of The Bachelor. While she and lead Joey Graziadei were not compatible, she was brought back for The Bachelorette season 21. Several suitors remained in contention late in her season including Jonathon Johnson, runner-up Marcus Shoberg, and winner Devin Strader. While her proposal to Devin was sensational, their romance was short-lived. Now, it’s worth checking in on Jenn following the disastrous conclusion to her season.

Jenn’s and Devin Stader’s Drama What Happened...

The competition on Dancing With The Stars was especially fierce this year. Fans felt incredibly passionate about their favorite contestants and campaigned for them online. But as always, only one competing couple could win.

This year, The Bachelor star Joey Graziadei and his partner Jenna Johnson took home the Mirrorball Trophy. The pair had high scores from the start and consistently maintained them throughout the competition.

But even so, many DWTS viewers felt angry that another member of Bachelor Nation won the competition.

DWTS Fans Are Tired Of Bachelor Nation Contestants Winning

Over the course of 33 seasons, several members of Bachelor Nation competed for the Mirrorball Trophy.

And now, Joey Graziadei has won Season 33.

It’s always disappointing when a favorite contestant doesn’t win,...

After a season of shocking eliminations, the final five took to the ballroom one last time on the Dancing With the Stars Season 33 finale.

But only one of them emerged with the coveted Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy.

Going into the episode, it was difficult to predict who would win because every competitor brought their A-game in these final weeks.

Unfortunately, the overstuffed three-hour finale dragged due to the return of various former stars, including Anna Delvey.

Of course, more sparks flew between Brooks Nader and Gleb Savchenko, who seemed determined to make viewers question their relationship status forever at this point.

Sadly, some performances probably didn’t deserve a spot in the finale.

“Dancing with the Stars” premiered in 2005 with a focus on teaching celebrities some fancy footwork. But along the way the professional dancers who teach and partner with those celebrity amateurs became stars in their own right. Many of them returned to the show year after year, and over a dozen have won the coveted Mirror Ball Trophy over the course of the series. Scroll down to see every single “DWTS” pro champion, listed by their number of victories.

It’s fitting that the “DWTS” pros have become fan-favorites because they’re not just dancers. They’re also trainers, choreographers and storytellers, and their chemistry with the stars fuels the show’s best routines, so they’re truly the lifeblood of the competition, especially when they bring talent and charisma out of unexpected places, from child stars to race car drivers to one male model, Nyle Dimarco, who won the Mirror...
