Unfortunate update on the new and seemingly not improved Bachelor Mansion: It appears to be occupied by several rats, who were very much *not* into their home being rudely invaded by a production team + several dozen horny/deranged men trying to win Jenn Tran's heart.

In case you missed it, fans caught two rats scuttling through the background (and stealing the scene) in a moment from the season premiere. Behold:

And turns out, the Bachelorette Powers That Be™️ are well aware that their set was being occupied by some furry friends. When Entertainment Weekly asked about the rats, un-named producers mused, "You'll notice there were two of them. Everyone deserves to find love!"

A perfect answer. Also perfect? The art Entertainment Weekly used for their tweet:

As a reminder, The Bachelor and The Bachelorette are usually filmed at the historical landmark known as Bachelor Mansion. But this season was filmed at Hummingbird Nest Ranch, which Jenn confirmed during an interview with Entertainment Tonight back in March, when she said, "This is gorgeous, and I think what I've been trying to tell myself, you know, like first Asian Bachelorette, first PA student, like, we're really breaking the mold this season. And I feel like a new mansion is the perfect way to break the mold."

She also joked that the old mansion needed sage, which, yes, absolutely. Anyway, the rats did not return my request for comment, but stay tuned!
