Chris Harrison Mirrors ‘Married At First Sight’ Groom In ‘Bachelorette’ Promo
Chris Harrison, the host of Bachelorette shared a promo and reminder for the premiere next week. The ABC show finally arrives on Tuesday, October 13. With few words, but a telling photo of himself, Chris looks rather like one of those nervous grooms in Lifetime’s Married At First Sight.
Chris Harrison shows subtle humor in Bachelorette promo
Taking to his Instagram on October 8, Chris shared a photo of himself. He captioned it with, “Ladies find yourself a man that looks at you the way I’m looking at this season of #TheBachelorette.” Then he reminded fans that it premiers in five days’ time on “Tues Oct 13th.” But that expression on his face told a story. Standing in a suit, looking smart, as you do on a wedding day, he grinned.
The grin looks forced, hopeful, nervous, and stoic. Straightway, it brings to mind the grooms on Lifetime. In Married At First Sight, they all seem totally nervous. Like, scared, excited, looking for a way out, and determined. It’s the grin often seen which reveals a brave soul questioning he made the right decision. As one fan Bachelorette fan wrote, he looks a bit like he’s “grinning and bearing it.” Actually, it’s the fixed grin on grandma’s face in the 1950s when she discovered the cute baby was born out of wedlock.

Fans talk about the grin on Chris Harrison’s face
Naturally, people commented on that grin. One of them wrote, “This is the human version of dogs waiting patiently to be fed.” And another one said, “You always look ah-mazing! …. but this particular photo says “you’re not that Claire-voyant” 😜😜.” That rather clever play on words probably refers to Clare Crawley refusing to film. And, it’s a tag line from the teasers. Recall, she started out as the lead but fell in love with Dale Moss, so she walked away.
Scrambling a lot, The Bachelorette production team brought in Tayshia Adams. The twist at least sounds like interesting viewing. While it generated a lot of interest, actually, it’s likely the production team struggled with the timeline for her. Fox News reported that “Clare reportedly refused to come out of her room to film with the other remaining contestants after giving Moss the first impression rose.” So, no wonder Chris Harrison looks a bit apprehensive about the new season.

Those fans who expected the premiere on a Monday complained it messed up their viewing schedule. Well, it’s been a very chaotic season, what with coronavirus and what not. So, Tuesday it is. No doubt, a lot of meetings get put off or rescheduled right now.
