E353 Bachelorette Recap With Emma Gray
We're breaking down all the Bachelorette drama with Emma Gray, Editor at Huffpost and Co-Host of the #LoveToSeeIt Podcast. On this Recap, we start off by diving back into the Hot Goss that's circulating around Bach Nation. We first talk about whether or not Katie's recent posts are inconsiderate and how self-aware she is if she's feeding into the drama. We then dive into the "Men Tell All" where we break down who of the contestants are acting or if this level of emotion actually came out. After, we talk about how many of these men knew that there wasn't a connection with Michelle, so they have been going all out to potentially get a spot on Paradise. Speaking of future endeavors, we reflect on Tayshia's walk-off after breaking her silence on Zac, and how playing into the drama may hurt her future chances of being a host. Lastly, we close out by discussing the BIZARRE teaser for Clayton, where he reveals that he's had sex with both women at a rose ceremony. "Michelle is an educator. She can tell when someone doesn't understand the assignment."

E347 Bachelorette Recap With Ali and Amanda
We're breaking down all the Bachelorette drama with The Viall Files Team, Ali and Amanda. We kick things off by getting some of the Bach hot goss from the rumor mill with Ali. After that, we dive into how Martin undermines others when he feels threatened, how Clayton crying while reading the note was probably staged, and how sometimes the slow-burn contestants can have lasting impact later in the show. We then ask about Michelle being turned on by Joe playing basketball, how Rick looks like he's fragile, and how anything can be a metaphor- including churning butter. "Martin seems like the type of guy that won't go down on you unless you've showered" Please make sure to subscribe so you don't miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to asknick@kastmedia.com to be a part of our Monday episodes.
