Katie Thurston<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0has already appeared on\u00a0The Bachelor<\/em><\/a>\u00a0and starred as the lead on season 17 of\u00a0The Bachelorette<\/a><\/em>. She\u2019s giving reality TV a third try when it comes to finding romance, but will she be popping up on the beach for season 9 of\u00a0Bachelor in Paradise<\/em><\/a>? Fans want to know all about where to watch Katie look for love again.<\/p>\n Although it would seem to be the perfect place for Katie to try her hand at another reality TV relationship, Katie will not be appearing on season 9 of BiP<\/em>.<\/p>\n Yes! Katie will be appearing as one of the stars of season 3 on the CW\u2019s show that features 13 \u201cnice guys\u201d who are looking for love, and 13 self-proclaimed \u201cfboys,\u201d who are there to compete for the cash prize. Katie will have to figure out which men are there to have a romance and hopefully not choose one who is there to play her.<\/p>\n \u201cThis time around is very different because I\u2019ve had my experience<\/a>, which also means not only can people be on the show for their own experience, but then maybe they could be going after me for \u2014 dare I say, the wrong reasons \u2014 because I have a platform now,\u201d Katie told Us Weekly<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n The reality TV vet added that \u201cmore insecurities were present\u201d this time around \u201cbecause I have gone through it and I don\u2019t know who\u2019s trying to use me to get to the end and experience that five minutes of fame or whatever.\u201d<\/p>\n The Washington native competed for Matt James<\/strong><\/a>\u2018 heart on Season 25 of The Bachelor<\/em>, although she was sent home in week 6.<\/p>\n Viewers fell in love with Katie while she was on Matt\u2019s season, earning her the lead on season 17 of The Bachelorette<\/em>. She gave her final rose to Blake Moynes<\/strong><\/a> and accepted his marriage proposal, but the pair split<\/a> two months after the finale aired in August 2021.<\/p>\n \u201cWe lived in different countries during the pandemic. I think we were just already up against a lot,\u201d Katie told\u00a0Us<\/em> about their failed engagement, as Blake is from Canada. \u201cSo, you just got to find someone who\u2019s willing to put in the work. And that\u2019s not even to him or myself. It\u2019s just in general, long-distance is hard and maybe not the right choice for someone like me who really wants a hands-on, in-person relationship.\u201d<\/p>\n Less than a month after confirming her split from Blake, Katie revealed she was dating<\/a>\u00a0John Hersey<\/strong><\/a>, a contestant from her season whom she sent home in week two. Their relationship managed to last longer than Katie and Blake\u2019s, although they split in June 2022<\/a>.<\/p>\n Like Katie, Blake is looking for love again on reality TV, appearing on season 9<\/a> of Bachelor in Paradis<\/em>e.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\nIs Katie Thurston on \u2018Bachelor in Paradise\u2019?<\/h2>\n
