It’s her time to shine… sooner than expected! Bachelorette Rachel Lindsay received the surprise of a lifetime when she met with Bachelor Nation’s Chris Harrison on the After the Final Rose special on Monday, March 13.

For the first time in Bachelor history, Harrison revealed that Rachel’s Bachelorette season would start immediately. The season 13 lead was visibly stunned when she learned that she’d be moving into the mansion right away, and that several of her contestants were ready to meet her on-stage.

Meet the First Batch of Suitors

Demario

The handsome suitor showed up with plane tickets to Las Vegas and an engagement ring.

Blake

The adorably awkward contender, who was clearly nervous, told Rachel that she smells lovely.

Dean

Another contestant named Dean said: “I just want you to know that I’m ready to go black, and I’m never going back,” which made Rachel burst out in genuine laughter.

Eric

Yet another contender danced with Rachel in front of a cheering audience.

“There’s potential,” Rachel told Harrison after meeting her men.

Rachel’s Bachelorette season premieres in May on ABC. Watch above!
