From Women's Health

• Tayshia Adams and her journey as The Bachelorette is winding down with only the Finale episode left.

• Tayshia shared an emotional update on Instagram, calling the end "bittersweet," "challenging," and a "rollercoaster."

• Here are all the spoilers from Reality Steve you need to get ahead of The Bachelorette and learn who Tayshia chooses and if they're still together.

The Bachelorette season 16 finale is this tonight, and I can hardly contain my excitement. Meanwhile, Tayshia Adams is mulling over her toughest choices yet. The end of her journey to find love is supposed to be messy, and there are brand-new spoilers to back that up. (Grab that hand sanitizer, folks.)

Tayshia's season has had plenty of controversy and refreshingly sweet moments during her speedy journey. Reality Steve, who is a spoiler legend, just switched up his finale prediction and shared which suitors reappear and what happens after the cameras stopped rolling. No special Clare-ence needed, but "brace yourselves" for what's to come.

ICYDK, Reality Steve has spoiled the ending of The Bachelor, The Bachelorette, and its various spinoffs for years. His spoilers are spot-on basically every. single. time. (Noteworthy exception: He didn't pinpoint Bachelor Peter Weber's chosen co-pilot until the end of the season, but the pilot didn't either.)

So, what exactly is going down now that Tayshia has taken the reins? And did she find love—or not? Allow me to fill in the blanks RN.

WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD. Do not keep reading if you don’t want to know what happens during Tayshia's journey to find love on Season 16 of The Bachelorette before it airs on ABC!

Tayshia's The Bachelorette finale is tonight.

Reality Steve says she will whittle her remaining three suitors to one tonight Dec. 22. "Clearly the format is being thrown completely out of whack this season, so I gotta believe it’ll be sped along a bit faster," he wrote in a recent blog post.

Tune in tonight, Dec. 22 at 8 p.m. Eastern for the finale. But, don't expect an update from After The Final Rose. Reality Steve says that's not happening tonight.

"I don’t even know if they’ll have a taped update on how things are going. You’ll know if they do if her final rose ceremony happens to end at 90 mins or 105 mins into the finale, since then they’ll have time on the back end to show filmed footage of what’s been going on since. If the end of the episode and the final rose ceremony happens at the end of the episode like it normally would, then know we’re not getting any taped update. Unless it’s really, really short."

Does Ben Smith return?

If you were screaming at your TV when Tayshia told Ben Smith farewell, there is real hope. Ben finally shared those three, er five, words: "I've never felt this feeling, but I'm in love with you." Then, Tayshia promptly freaked out.

And, Ben does get to meet Tayshia's parents in the finale. In a totally unexpected twist, Tayshia gives roses to Ben and Zac, eliminating Ivan Hall.

Reality Steve tweeted multiple new finale spoilers: "Tayshia sends Ivan home at the final 3 rose ceremony tonight, making Ben and Zac her final 2"

"Had a hard time believing she’d keep Ben over Ivan, only to eliminate him just days later, but that’s what she did. Ben and Zac both meet her family. She eliminates Ben after the family meeting. Zac is the only one who is there final rose ceremony day."

And Tayshia says the ending is "bittersweet" and "challenging."

Tayshia reflected on her final weeks as The Bachelorette in a lengthy Instagram post. "I’ll have to be the first one to admit that this whole reality tv thing isn’t easy. Being only human, sometimes all of this is taxing. The last couple weeks have been a rollercoaster to say the least!," Tayshia wrote in the caption of a new post.

She continued: "Watching the last few episodes, I’ve been reliving so much of what made this experience challenging... It's crazy to think the end is near, but I am excited for you to see where my heart leads me. While bittersweet, I know this is just the end of one chapter, and I can't wait to see where life takes me next."

Tayshia's dad is none-too happy with one of her choices.

Tayshia's dad also makes an appearance. In the teasers, he appears hesitant at best about her selection. "Why him?" he asks his daughter. "As your father, it’s my job to protect you from making possibly the biggest mistake of your life."

Thanks to Reality Steve's spoilers, fans know his questions are directed at either Ben or Zac.

Does Tayshia's ex-husband Josh Bourelle drop by?

Josh may have appeared on Reality Steve's podcast, but he's not paying Tayshia a visit this season. Repeat after me: no more surprise pop-ins.

Chris Harrison, Tayshia, and Reality Steve squashed the closed caption-fueled TikTok rumor. The spoiler king explained: "her ex-husband has nothing to do with this season. "

And Chris backed it up with proof: "We have a transcript that goes along. But our transcripts, I looked at it. I actually did the research. I’m like, 'What is this?' And I don’t know where it came from. It wasn’t us," Chris told Us Weekly. "It’s not on our transcript. Every local cable company can do their own and implement their own transcript. So clearly, it came from somewhere out in the world, but it had zero to do with us. …His name was never uttered by us. We didn’t talk about them. I don’t know anything about this.”

FYI: Josh Bourelle filed for divorce in October 2017 after less than 2 years of marriage and spoke out about it recently. He owns a commercial roofing business, which has a public Instagram account.

Still, the rest of Tayshia's journey is "messy."

The details are still fuzzy, but Reality Steve is certain that the rest of The Bachelorette is oh so dramatic per a new blog post. "I think we’re in for a wild ride with Tayshia... But “messy” was the word I heard from the beginning, and I think it’s definitely headed towards that."

"I’ve just been told repeatedly the ending of her season was 'messy' and full of drama," Reality Steve says. "So do with that what you will."

So, who does The Bachelorette choose? And who wins Tayshia's final rose?

Last night, fans saw Tayshia declare her love for more than one suitor. Reality Steve says Tayshia picks Zac Clark after eliminating everyone else. "I was told Zac C. was the one who opened up to her the most and professed his love... so ultimately she picked Zac," Steve wrote in a blog post.

He has no doubts that Zac is the winner, per a new blog post: "I think after watching last night’s episode a few things are pretty clear: 1) it’s definitely Zac and 2) I’d be really shocked if she didn’t get engaged at the end of this thing. So that bit info was probably wrong. Tayshia has said the word husband and engaged so many times the last few episodes, it really makes no sense to get to the end and NOT have that. Hell, that’s only happened twice in the last almost 30 or so seasons – Juan Pablo and Colton’s. I just don’t see that happening here."

Reality Steve shared more of his evidence to back it up: "As for the info I presented last week where I told you I was told by two different people that Tayshia had ended things with Zac and was talking to Brendan post show. Good thing I didn’t report that as fact. Was always leery about that info and it’s why I said last week I have no idea if it was true or not. Well, now we know it’s not true since Brendan went on Rachel and Becca’s podcast today and specifically said he has not spoken to Tayshia since the season ended filming because he respects her too much. So now that that rumor has been proven to be false, it all points to Zac and Tayshia in the end and they are still together."

FWIW, he shared her front-runners, Ben Smith, Zac Clark, Brendan Morais, and Ivan Hall early on and that was spot on. "I’d be shocked if Ben meets her parents and gets to final 2, but who knows? And I know she doesn’t pick Ivan," per Reality Steve.

Tayshia says she's "fkn THRIVING."

She celebrated her big 3-o with a cute photo on the 'gram. "I am 30, I am definitely flirty, And I’m fkn THRIVING!!!"

That caught Bachelor Nation's attention, big time. Lauren Zima (Chris Harrison's GF) commented: "Can’t wait to watch you thrive babe! ❤️👏 Happy birthday 🔥."

Former Bachelor contestant Mykenna Dorn wrote: "Oh you’ll be thriving that’s for sure !!! Can’t wait to see you shine and find your person 💛✨👏🏻 happy birthday babe !!!"

Are Tayshia and Zac still together?

Reality Steve just spilled new Tayshia and Zac tea. It's piping hot, just like their post-show 'ship. "So she definitely picked Zac and good chance they’re engaged. And if that’s the case, I highly doubt they’ve called off their engagement some time in the last 3 months. So if you’re asking me what I think happens tonight, there’s your answer. Picked Zac, engaged, and still engaged to this day. Just wish I could’ve been more confident all season to have been telling you that."

He previously shared multiple theories in a blog post: "Some people have told me they aren’t together, some have told me they still are but it’s not that solid, and some have said it’s never gonna last. She’s a SoCal girl who wants to be an influencer. He runs a sober living facility in NY. So that’s where we stand at this point. I know people will scour their IG pages for any clue they can find, but I wouldn’t count on anything being spoiled there."

Is Tayshia engaged now?

Reality Steve is now on board with fans who've been sharing theories to prove Tayshia is engaged. Rumors are swirling that the Bachelorette is currently engaged after she posted a couple pics to her Instagram Stories on Dec. 1. In the photos, the Click Bait With Bachelor Nation podcast host wears what *appears* to be a diamond ring on her left hand, according to ET. It sure is sparkly.

Reality Steve addressed the engagement ring rumors: "I don’t know if it is or isn’t, or if it’s a ruse or what. I can’t imagine she’d be that stupid to take a pic with her ring on if she’s engaged, but, we’ve seen people spoil it in the past, so I guess it can’t be that unbelievable. So we’ll see going forward exactly what that’s all about."

He does add that leads get their engagement rings back for Happy Couple weekends, but they don't get them while the show is airing.

Speaking of Bachelor in Paradise, it's on for 2021 (for now).

This comes from the ABC execs via Reality Steve. "We’ve already been told by Rob Mills that Paradise will be back on schedule filming June 2021 and airing in its regular slot after “Bachelorette” late July/early August 2021, and they will be picking from Peter’s women, Clare/Tayshia’s men, Matt’s women, and the next “Bachelorette’s” men. So they will have plenty to choose from."

Chris shared a BIP update as well. "And I mean, I hate to say this, but there’s going to be people left on the bench that we love just because you can only have so many people on that beach. And right now, the plan is we’re moving forward. Clearly, we are like the rest of the world. This vaccine is on the horizon, there is hope on the horizon and where there’s hope, there’s roses and there’s The Bachelor. We’re always right there."

Chris says he's hoping for a normal schedule in 2021. "In all seriousness, our dream scenario is Bachelorette is next. That’s our normal schedule. You know, we shot The Bachelor in the normal timeframe, we’re going to shoot Bachelorette in the normal timeframe — this winter/spring — and then that’ll lead us into hopefully the Bachelor in Paradise that we normally have in June. … I’m not Anthony Fauci here, but my dream is that the vaccine is working by then and we’re right back to normal."
