2. No Holding Back: Clare isn't one to beat around the bush. Expect her to be honest, direct, and unafraid to speak her mind. She's already promised to "keep it real," and we can't wait to see what that means!

Behind the Scenes: What We Know So Far
Production on Bachelor Season 26 kicked off in late July, with Clare and her cast of men quarantining together before filming began. Here's what we know so far:

- The Host: Chris Harrison will, of course, be back to host the season. And with his signature charm and insight, we can't wait to see what hilarious and heartwarming moments he helps create.
