If you woke up with extreme anxiety the morning of June 11, wondering, DID I JUST MISS AN EPISODE OF BACH?! then you should a) stop screaming, b) try a CBD gummy maybs? and c) read on for the ~facts~.

Because of the NBA Finals, ABC was forced to move this week's episode of The Bachelorette to Tuesday, June 11. In case you haven't checked your Twitter feed in the last 24 hours, Drake's beloved Toronto Raptors are in a wildly exciting face-off with the Golden State Warriors, and what should have been Drake's, um, the Raptors' series-ending win on Monday night turned into a Warriors win that extends the series through this week.

Rude! But not to worry: Hannah and the Lukes and the guy who broke his arm and also Jed and the rest are back tonight, June 11 at 8 p.m. Just a few more hours until the players you're focusing on are the ones you know.

Original post continues below:

It’s season 15 of The Bachelorette, and I can hardly believe it! It seems like just yesterday that Trista crawled so these women could run. It’s beautiful. And now, we’ve got our latest tribute, I mean, contestant: Hannah B.! Our girl brought the drama in Colton’s season of The Bachelor, so I’m expecting nothing less than stupendous from her in May.

The Lady

Hannah Brown, aka Hannah B., definitely added a much-needed element of excitement to Colton Underwood’s season. She warred with Caelynn, another former pageant queen and then was dumped on her butt after a visit to meet Colton’s family in Colorado. She gave a heartfelt good-bye to Colton/the show, talking about being chosen, and it was nice. All in all, she’s good TV.

Demi, her BFF from the season, says Hannah will be a very different kind of Bachelorette and will be tossing out men like there’s no tomorrow.

“The cool thing about Hannah is that she’s so real. She’s not gonna keep around anyone she doesn’t feel it with. Like I just feel like she’s gonna be eliminating them left and right,” said Demi. Fun! I like this already!

As for the type of man she’s looking for, Demi says he should be big and strong and religious...also, a fellow goofball. “I don’t think she’d put up with somebody trying to ground her more,” said Demi. “I think she needs somebody who’s gonna be right by her side egging her on.”

The Men

A whole bunch of bros named Matt, Matt, and Matteo. Like, for real, they all have the same name, and Twitter is NOT impressed. Related: Twitter mean as hell. I mean, whatever; they seem fine. Typical Bachelorette fare here. There’s one contestant who stands out as the potential first rose awardee, but I’m saving that for spoilers because I don’t want to get murdered by one of you. (Hi!)

The Drama, So Far

There’s already drama-bless you, Hannah B.! Well, actually, this probably has nothing to do with her, but I will say this: Her aura is intense, so I’m blaming/thanking her. According to Reality Steve, who honestly might be some sort of omniscient god who uses his powers for delightful garbage (which honestly would explain a lot about what’s happening in the world), The Bachelorette Facebook page initially posted 33 guys who might be on Hannah’s season. However, not all of them actually made it on TV. Steve thinks ABC released the dudes early so any negative press could come out and they’d have time to boot them before filming. He says this affected two guys in particular, Matt Dione and Joe Romeo.

The Spoilers, So Far

Stop reading all ye Bachelorette purists!

According to our oracle Reality Steve, Luke Parker from Georgia got the first-impression rose. Luke met Hannah B. early after her announcement, and apparently, they majorly connected, so, yeah. And I’m not gonna say he wins, but the first-impression-rose dude has historically cleaned up.

When to Watch

Hannah B.’s adventure of a lifetime (???) premieres Monday, May 13, on ABC.
