'Bachelorette' Sneak Peek: What to Expect From the New Season

— -- "The Bachelorette" is back!

Well, almost.

In a preview for the new season, which premieres on May 18, Britt Nilsson and Kaitlyn Bristowe can be seen greeting their suitors at the mansion.

"There are two bachelorettes," Chris Harrison can be heard saying. "That's about to change. There's going to be a vote."

In between the friendly greetings, it's clear that this season, like all the others, will be packed with drama.

And yes, tears.

Bristowe, for one, appears to cry in the premiere.

"I just don't feel like this is how I should have to do it," she said.

For all that, and what caused one man to say, "Things could get ugly," watch the promo above.
