'The Bachelorette' is coming to a semi-chaotic end, but the 'After the Final Rose' live particular will have to "help." Wait, did we say live? IS the particular live?

It's exhausting to imagine that anything else may top the dramatic conclusion of some other season of The Bachelorette — unless, after all, you add the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, a new variant on the free, and a live target market filled with unmasked folks. (Hey target market, will you accept this mask?) Obviously, we're invested in catching up with Michelle Young and the finalists in real-time to see how they're doing nowadays. But is the display in truth in real-time? Is After the Final Rose actually live?

Is 'After the Final Rose' live?

We get it, it's laborious to take a step back after you could have taken a step forward. Katie Thurston's After the Final Rose in August 2021 used to be in entrance of a live studio target audience with fully unmasked faces for so far as the eye could see. Of direction, August 2021 was a in some way simpler time. We have been simplest coping with the Delta variant at that point, which almost seems charming at this point. Sadly, with Omicron temporarily taking over as the dominant COVID-19 pressure, a live studio target market seems like a bad concept. But guess what — it's nonetheless taking place!

That's precisely why social media freaked out when folks noticed the studio audience for Michelle Young's After the Final Rose, totally sans mask. Earlier on in the night time, Kaitlyn Bristowe shared the unfortunate news that Tayshia Adams wouldn't be joining her as co-host (extra in this in a bit). That's when other people got a excellent have a look at the live studio target market, whose noses and mouths have been absolutely visible. The energy of social media used to be obviously felt, because the next shot showed a completely masked target market.

Recall, if you'll, that Tayshia's own After the Final Rose particular did not even happen in December 2020. In a now deleted tweet, former Bachelor and Bachelorette host Chris Harrison said, "Due to being pushed into the holidays and the difficulty of bringing people safely together during this time, it just wasn’t possible. But hopefully, we’ll be back for #TheBachelor." No one is suggesting that Michelle's ATFR be canceled, but possibly let the target market off the hook.

Why is not Tayshia co-hosting?

Well, we hate to make this virtually completely about COVID-19, but Tayshia had to pull out of the special because of the incontrovertible fact that she was just lately exposed to it. Earlier on the day of the special, Tayshia shared by way of an Instagram story that, "Just as an abundance of caution, for Michelle to have her night, as well as Kaitlyn and all the crew to produce this live finale tonight, I will not be there in person. But that does not mean I will not be turning in, popping my popcorn, and enjoying it all."

In a May 2021 interview with Cosmopolitan, Tayshia was once speaking about her folks in the end meeting the oldsters of her then-fiancé Zac Clark. She mentioned vaccinations being carried out on both ends of her family, which means that it's protected to mention Tayshia is vaxxed. Hopefully her publicity to COVID-19 will go nowhere. Regardless, she was overlooked at the After the Final Rose particular, but we all know the rose display must go on!

After the Final Rose airs at 10:00 p.m. EST on ABC.
