Kaitlyn’s Bachelorette Reunion | Joe Bailey: Ball Sacks & Backlash

#856. Joe Bailey is back with that Southern charm, unforgettable accent, and a whole lot to say! He shares how he got cast on The Bachelorette after a two-hour audition (and met Cupcake in the hallway), relives the infamous sumo wrestling date where his balls made a surprise appearance, and laughs with Kaitlyn about being the group date groupie who was constantly pushed out of his comfort zone!

But Joe also gets real—opening up about the dark aftermath of Bachelor in Paradise, the intense hate he received, and how it took a serious toll on his mental health. He’s still figuring out what’s next (stand-up comedy, maybe?), but one thing’s clear: there’s no one like Joe Bailey!!

Enjoy this honest, hilarious, and long-overdue reunion!
