Who is missing from the reunion?
Two former Bachelorette’s were missing from the show. They are Meredith Phillips from season two and Jen Schefft from season three. Chris Harrison spoke with Entertainment Tonight explaining the two were not left out intentionally. He said it came down to scheduling and those two just couldn’t be there.
Saying he is grateful they had as many participate as they did, he went on to say, “Unfortunately Jen and Meredith couldn’t be there because we had to settle on a date. At the end of the day, we had to shoot this thing. So, we just picked a day where we could get as many as we possibly could, but unfortunately schedules, vacations, was one of them, just couldn’t be changed. And we just had to pull the trigger and do this thing.”
