It’s that special time of the Bachelorette season when the men from the season get to take center stage and tell their side of the story. That’s right, it’s “Men Tell All” week on The Bachelorette. Instead of airing in the usual Tuesday night spot that Michelle Young’s season has been in all season, “Men Tell All” aired on the night of Monday, Dec. 6, leaving fans wondering if they’re getting another, regular Bachelorette episode on Tuesday, Dec. 7. It turns out, Bachelor Nation will have to wait a little bit longer to see Michelle’s journey continue.

Usually, the Bachelor franchise airs Monday nights on ABC, but Season 18 of The Bachelorette has been in the Tuesday night slot each week. However, the “Men Tell All” episode aired on Monday, and there won’t be any Bachelorette episode on Tuesday, Dec. 7. Instead, ABC will air Live in Front of a Studio Audience: The Facts of Life and Diff’rent Strokes during that Tuesday slot.

Michelle’s season of The Bachelorette will return to Tuesday nights, though, before the season is over. The Fantasy Suites episode will air in its usual slot on Tuesday, Dec. 14. That will be followed by the Season 18 Bachelorette finale on Tuesday, Dec. 21, which will be a whopping three hours long.

Michelle has narrowed down her search for love to her final three men: Nayte Olukoya, Joe Coleman, and Brandon Jones. Michelle has three strong prospects with these guys, but she has teased that there are some unexpected moments to come in these final episodes. “I had no idea I would be in the position that I was at the end of the season. [The ending is] something that I didn’t necessarily expect, something that I didn’t think was possible for me,” she told Us Weekly. Fans will have to tune in next week and the week after to find out what that surprising ending entails.

Season 18 of The Bachelorette continues on Tuesday, Dec. 14, at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.
