Reality show crossover! Two Bachelor Nation stars audition on Season 24 of The Voice. Keep reading to find out who and how to watch!

The Voice Navigates First Season Without Blake Shelton

Country crooner Blake Shelton has been a staple of NBC’s hit singing competition, The Voice.  His pretend rivalry with fellow coach Adam Levine in early seasons kept fans in stitches. The Maroon 5 singer abruptly left the show after Season 16.

It’s also where Shelton met his now-wife, singer Gwen Stefani. The pair met when she joined the show in Season 7. They went public with their romance in 2015 and married in 2021.

So, fans were devastated when Blake Shelton announced Season 23 would be his last on The Voice. But NBC brought in the big guns to replace him. The legendary country singer Reba McEntire will take over Shelton’s famous red chair, though she doesn’t think she can fill his cowboy boots.

She joins returning coaches Niall Horan, John Legend, and Gwen Stefani.

Season 24 of The Voice begins on Monday, Sept. 25, on NBC and Peacock streaming.

Bachelor Nation Takes Over ABC’s Thursday Fall TV Line-up

With no end in sight for the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, networks are turning to reality shows to fill their fall schedules. ABC is relying heavily on game shows, especially now that the Dancing With The Stars premiere is in jeopardy.

Thursday nights will belong to Bachelor Nation shows. The first-ever senior citizen version of The Bachelor will start the night at 8 PM Eastern. Fans can watch Gerry Turner look for a second chance at love on The Golden Bachelor.

Bachelor In Paradise returns for Season 9 in the 9 PM to 10 PM Eastern time slot. That’s right! Fans are treated to two hours of beach romance and drama.

Both shows premiere on ABC on Thursday, Sept. 28.

Two Bachelor Nation Stars Auditioning On Season 24 of The Voice

Once you appear on any of the Bachelor Nation shows, you’ve got fans for life. Fans of the show love to keep tabs on former contestants.

These contestants often pop up on other reality shows. That’s the case for two Bachelor Nation alums who will take their chances at the blind auditions on The Voice this season.

First up is Claire Heilig from Clayton Echard‘s season of The Bachelor. Viewers may not remember the single mom, as she was sent home during the first episode before the rose ceremony even happened.

However, she still has connections with other alums from the show. She took to her Instagram earlier this week to share the news that – SPOILER – she will be among the hopefuls auditioning for The Voice this season.

Susie Evans, who briefly dated Echard, wrote, “STOP!! I am unwell!!!” in the comments.

The Bachelor Nation blog reports that Heilig won’t be the only alum from the franchise on The Voice.

In 2020, ABC premiered a music spin-off of The Bachelor called Listen To Your Heart. Season 1 alum Rudi Gutierrez, who quit the show in Week 6, is giving music another chance on Season 24 of The Voice.

“I did a thing! I auditioned for @nbcthevoice!” she wrote on her Instagram.

The blind audition portion of the competition is typically six episodes, airing over the course of three weeks. However, they aren’t aired in the order of the auditions, meaning the Bachelor Nation alums could appear in any of the episodes featuring blind auditions.

Best of luck to Rudi Gutierrez and Claire Heilig!
