The Bachelorette Recap, the 'Men Tell All' or Kaitlyn's face tells us nothing.

What do we actually know about Katie? If I told you to describe Katie and not use the phrase 'sex positive' what can you tell me about her? And, do we actually know she is sex positive or do we just know that she owns a vibrator? To be clear, I am not saying she is NOT sex positive I am saying our only proof of this is a vibrator and a lot of references to it but the biggest sex related moments so far this season has been her banning the men from pleasuring themselves THE THING SHE IS MOST KNOWN FOR when it comes to her own life!  

Some gave me grief at the start of this season for saying that Katie being the Bachelorette was a suspicious choice (since we knew so little about her) and one that felt like the producers just wanted the easy to shape narrative, well you have had almost a full season and I ask…what do you know? Unfortunately the things I now most associate with her is a traumatic experience and a vibrator, I hate that that is the dichotomy

Fantasy league wise, this is the last episode that could damage my path to victory, the next closest team has a SIGNIFICANT amount of ground to make up but this is literally the time of the Olympics, this is the season of comebacks that can haunt a front runner I will not claim early victory only to find out that I was second after all - https://sports.yahoo.com/olympics-cyclist-road-race-anna-kiesenhofer-van-vleuten-gold-medal-100741168.html.

On to the yelling – I bet these guys come in carrying some 'zingers' they already took shots at each other during the season so I gotta imagine they are going to turn the Men tell all into a rap beef.

Wait what is this? Actual show content before the 'men tell all' this week we start with Tayshia and Katie on a walk AGAIN THESE WOMEN ARE THE SAME AGE, but it feels like Tayshia is the mom talking to her middle school daughter about her first crush even while talking about grown folk stuff.

While the ladies are walking we get the show tugging on our heart string with Michael calling his son via a video call and telling his kid he is on a work trip and the plan is that once he gets home they will vacation for one week. Michael's son is confused why his dad is gone for such an extended period and the kid says "Maybe daddy left because he don’t want to see me." This causes Michael to break down and it even solicits a hug from a producer!

Can we be real though…producer hug aside, if this show REALLY CARED…they would let him go home to see his child and wait for Katie there since, they are going to Hometowns next anyway.

Michael goes off to knock on Katie's door and she giggles like a school girl at his appearance. Michael sits Katie down and starts to tell her how things are going and she goes from confused parakeet look to confused puppy look as Michael tells her he has been having a great time with her but his son is missing him. Michael tells Katie "I cannot focus on anything else" "you know my decision to leave hurts you too." Katie does not seem to care about the why of Michael's leaving "I did not see this coming…I saw us going to the end…this is confusing for me right now."

Katie does not express any emotions about the son missing his dad…"I had so many things I was going to tell you." It finally starts to dawn on Katie that she should support Michael going home…I am going to let the emotional moment play out and not delve into the revisionist history that Michael creates with the stop watch gift that he gave Katie at the start of the season and gives her again here.

Tayshia and Kaitlyn host the 'Men tell all' and a live studio audience – Michael made it to the show with a beard, Tre has had a bit of a glow up and Connor has learned how to button his shirt. The brief season recap reminds us that some of the guys are sociopaths. Aaron vents about Cody having "reckless social media posts" and claims Cody's goal was to be famous.

Karl has a kernel of truth in his disjointed attempt to defend Cody pointing out that the guys all gang up on a new person each week. Karl claims he was always talking about Thomas when he told Katie that someone was there for the wrong reason, Quartney calls him out immediately as a fraud.

Karl tries to be his motivational speaker self and stands up and asks for call and response from the audience. The bro-sterone kicks in and Brendan stands up then Tre but Karl walks around Tre to confront Brendan.

Tre just because you might be a simp does not mean all the guys thought the same way coming into the show.

Hunter owns up to "some dishonesty on the part of the top 4." Hunter says there is a difference between "falling in love" and "being in love." Kaitlyn's face seems incapable of reacting to all the fighting between the men.

Connor gets the hot seat (and my opponents get some points) –

We get to relive the fact that Connor is apparently a bad kisser: we get the audience plant that interrupts to come on stage and bust them gums with Connor.

Kaitlyn hides her face while the makeout is happening because it cannot register proper emotion? Connor says that he was checking out the attack kisser whose name is Tara while he was sitting with the rest of the guys. Please tell me that whole audience was vaccinated and tested because that feels like such a bloody risky kiss.

Andrew S is next on the hot seat – we get to relive his horrible fake British accent and the goodbye with Katie.

Michael gets the hot seat and I get some points – Kaitlyn wipes away a tear at watching the recap, Tayshia looks like she is watching a Disney movie in her head 

and Hunter looks distraught.

To lighten the mood we are shown how bad the guys are at trash talking.

The stupid WOWO challenge is brought back up - Michael proves to be smarter than the other men.

So because Katie is not interesting enough we get Kaitlyn and Jason's engagement video?

 The guys stand up on the stage to applaud the engagement and it is a collection of exposed ankles and socks.

I am not a fan of Katie's dress as she comes out (though I fear some of this might be the contrast of her dress up against Tayhia's and Kaitlyn's). When Katie is told that Michael would still be willing to give it a shot she says that she has moved on. In the least shocking moment Tre rambles on but still has no chemistry with Katie – Tre accuses Thomas a lot about trying to get shine but does everything in his power to constantly be featured.

Then proving me right that black men are just a prop to Katie's journey she listens glassy eyed to Aaron telling her he "will always be in your corner" and says " Aw, thanks Thomas…oh sorry Aaron."

Of course Connor plays a ukulele and sings "the guys on this season have got me believing in bromance" and all the guys join in.

Thomas comes in via video chat looking smooth! Thomas asked why Katie had such a sudden switch when she sent him home – Katie says she went with her intuition but that doesn’t explain why she had to grandstand the moment, oh well.

Bloopers:

As always there is an insect infestation. We also learn that Katie might not be coordinated and Michael A was conceived in a dune buggy. The entire cast loved dancing.

 

 

Bachelorette Recap or please don't go, okay you gotta go!

 I am starting to get that sense that we are at that part of the season where I think white leads are going to winnow the group down to the 'passable minority' and a bunch of basic white guys. It was not helped by how Katie was with Thomas while welcoming in Blake with open arms when Blake seems like more of a fame chaser than Thomas (third straight Bachelorette season for Blake). Do we think Blake is DM'ing Michelle currently from the resort or does he wait till he gets back home?

And if you think I am overreacting that a white lead could still harbor racial indifference/racially troubling attitudes by pointing to white leads picking a minority for their winner (which by the way, good luck finding many) I submit Sean Lowe to you who despite being married to an ethnic woman thought he needed to publicly announce that he is boycotting the franchise that made him famous because OMCH was booted. And if you want even more "Of course these are the ones who support him" look at the difference in what many of the white leads said about OMCH's departure and how it was viewed by the ethnic participants (since the show conspicuously has so few POC leads) - https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/pictures/chris-harrisons-franchise-exit-bachelor-nation-reacts/tanner-tolbert-14/ .

Katie on a podcast could not name FOUR countries in Africa (https://youtu.be/DuD_DZ-Pmt8?t=4224 it is cued up for you so you do not have to watch the whole podcast, see how nice I am?)…just saying…see above. But seriously FOUR, JUST FOUR!! 

On to the show!

Hey did you know that they are at the Hyatt Regency Tamaya Resort and Spa? If you didn't that means you do not keep your eyes open at the start of every show.

Blake is on the couch of destiny freaking out the guys "you need a one on one, otherwise you are behind." Justin reads a date card while I try to figure out how Mike the virgin is still here. 

The one on one date goes to Greg.

One on one:

Katie jumps into Greg's arms while we cut back to the hotel and Michael is raising good questions – can he go into hometowns with so many questions about he and Katie when he has to consider his kid and his in-laws.

Back to Katie and Greg trying to reenact a cheesy romance made-for-TV film.

Because the show cannot travel they go back to the move of recreating someone's hometown on set…so instead of Pike Place Market we get Katie Place Market and of course they throw fish at each other and Greg squeals and squirms at the incoming thrown 'fish' turns out it was a fake fish but he was still afraid. Greg is NOT the most athletic man on his throw he destroys some lights.

To make sure the audience likes Michael even more the show shows him doing a video call with his son.

Evening portion:

Katie tells Greg she is worried he is going to leave – Greg does not give the most convincing answer until he slips in that he cannot wait to do hometown and show his "family the girl that I am falling in love with." Katie says Greg telling her he is falling in love with her is all she needed to hear.

As I said above they want to recreate movies and so because it cannot be a "Seattle date without rain" they make out in the rain like it is 'The Notebook'

yes A(deleted) I paid attention when we dated and you put that movie on (okay that is cap I just know it is a big part of the movie but I basically napped while you watched).

A date card arrives and Blake reads it so slowly that if the producers didn't tell him to read it that slowly I would think English is his second language. Mike the virgin gets the solo date by virtue of not hearing his name on the group date card. But Brendan says out loud what the entire audience has been thinking "Why am I still here?"

then "a group of great guys went home." Brendan decides to go and knock on Katie's door, I am very suspicious of the editing here I feel like there are some timeline shenanigans. Katie tells him "I like that you are bold and coming here and checking on me…but what I will say that is hard for me is, because of hometowns being next week I don't know that we can get there in time…because of you coming here and talking to me I don't know that it would be right making you go through that [the group date tomorrow]" Brendan goes and knocks on Blake's door as he is rolling his [designed for drama because no way he was on a show for 6 weeks with just a small carry on] suitcase out and as usual Blake is shirtless as he answers the door and groggy (it is clearly late at night) they hug good bye. To say Brendan's BOLD plan backfired would be an understatement, Katie just needed to keep a tall white guy past the previous rose ceremony because this is what the show is.

Morning after - instead of the couch of destiny it is the breakfast table of shocking revelations as Blake tells the guys that Brendan went home the night before.

Group Date:

The guys walk in to a courtyard and there are art pieces all over - some of the pieces are by Jacqueline Secor "some of these pieces are her very own" and the guys are afraid to say that the flower pictures look like vaginas. 

When Blake is asked to comment on a painting he calls it "messy" and "aggressive" and Jacqueline says "it is a self-portrait" and Andrew S jokingly says "botched that."

Michael has to present his artwork first and he sculpted what he termed "rear view" and it is a sculpture of a butt that someone terms "a very muscular butt." Andrew and Justin do passable paintings with Andrew's about sushi and he says Katie loves sushi and "I am looking to eat my way to her heart" with a laugh that was not needed but reinforced the double entendre,

Blake's turn "this is a physical visual representation of one of the most amazing things that humans are able to do on a daily basis" after telling us that you cannot play it safe…try to remember that on Tayshia's date he sculpted a penis for the craft project here we do not know what he painted because the whole thing has a black box. Katie and Blake are bloody similar.

Evening Portion:

Blake grabs Katie first. "My mom is going to love you" "oh so you think there is a next week for you." But then Blake tells Katie that he is not in love with her yet, but the thinks he can get there.

Justin breaks out a proper painting in his alone time with Katie and it is a painting of butterflies and roses and it looks good. Katie eats his face.

Michael tells Katie "no one can love you like I can." Katie eats his face.

Andrew has played football for "20 straight years" but he is "willing to be done" if Katie wants him to stop. Katie tells him to keep doing what he loves and they will work it out, a very nice answer but the cynic in me thinks Katie is planning to let him go so she can say anything comforting here because it will not harm her. Katie eats his face. 

Andrew recreates their one on one by hanging fairy lights and hoisting Katie to pick up an envelope in which he has written "I am falling for you."

Michael gets the group date rose after Katie tells all the other guys why they are special. 2 out of 3 of my fantasy league roster now have hometown dates, if I lose this season it will be an epic collapse.

Morning after and this means one on one with Mike P:

"I thought I would never date a virgin." The pair traipse into the woods to meet "Cuddle Queen Jean." Mike and Katie are told to change into some gear and come out in all white looking like they have joined a cult. Jean teaches them a hug she is calling the oxytocin hug and Mike and Katie are nervous. Jean tells us "what I noticed at first is a lot of nervous laughter…and typically that is not because things are funny, it is because things are awkward" oh Jean you cuddle queen sage. Mike brings up his mom a lot and in an awkward way especially when this is coupled with talking about Katie cuddling him.

But when I think he will only say this to us in confessional while his arms are wrapped around Katie lying in the woods "you remind me of my mom."

At the hotel the guys are speculating that Mike is going home. Back to the date and Mike is telling us that he cannot wait to introduce Katie to his family and have a great "dinner tonight" oh bro you are in for a kill shot – Katie comes back crying and requests a hug from Mike, she does this often; she requests comfort from the person she is sending home. On his departure "I know what kind of wife you are going to be, I know what type of mother you are going to be" just leave bro do not be putting your 'values' on her, what if she does not want to be a mother has she failed?

Back in the hotel the guys see the suitcase getting rolled out and they feign pain for Mike but these guys can do math, they now know the chances of getting a rose just improved dramatically. Actually hold on, that one is on me I should not assume they can do math.

No cocktails just a rose ceremony:

Tayshia looks absolutely bored as Katie tries to tell her and Kaitlyn about how important her decision making tonight will be. You could convince me that Tay Tay's edible hit just before that meeting and she realized "whoops that was the sleep gummy not the chill gummy" she has her head planted firmly on her hand and her elbow firmly on the top of the couch and they do not budge.

I assume you have been paying attention – of course Blake gets the first rose and just before she says it I look at the group look at the shading and say "Justin" which means Andrew is going home. As is the move, Andrew comforts Katie on his way out. Andrew cries in the 'limo' "obviously she knows what husband she is looking for and who that is going to be and it is not me." Katie tells her producer that she was not fully confident about her choice. 

Now I have 3 of the 4 remaining guys and remember from the start I told y'all I wanted Blake and was willing to wait for him for my team - can you imagine if I had ALL FOUR?!? There is a chance I could double the next closest team (again barring someone reappearing or a men tell all mega incident). 

Morning after:

Justin says he was stressed out and emotional with the decision coming down to him and Andrew. My DVR's close captioned knows this show's tricks and labels the music "apprehensive music" as we see Katie sitting on her couch while a voice over tells us that she is sad about letting Andrew go. There is a knock on Katie's door and voila there is Andrew, he says he is here to make sure there goodbye ends with a smile on her face.

As Katie walks him out we see a focus on Andrew pulling an envelope out of his pocket and he tells Katie "when I am gone read that" the card makes Katie break down "If you change your mind I'll be waiting." Katie runs out of her room to look for Andrew and Andrew is weirdly taking the stairs instead of the elevators because drama? Katie catches up to him "Andrew, I just want to give you a hug" and leaps into his arms (bad romance movie).

"If there is a way to stay longer would you want to…you can no, you can say yes." Andrew says no "I want my future wife to choose me and she didn't choose me so I had to say no." Katie walks him to the car and says "one last kiss?" Katie eats his face.

Bloopers?

Greg tells a dad joke.

Bachelorette Recap or let me do something cruel, but I look like a kid playing dress up so it is okay?

All those keyboard warriors 

who claimed the season would "suck without Chris" or "I am not watching if Chris is not there" look extra foolish when you see that Tayshia and Kaitlyn are in the show the same amount that Chris was, AKA not a lot. The pretense that the show NEEDED OMCH is so devoid of logic as to be laughable.

Now if we are having a discussion about the need for a permanent host for the comfort of consistency that is one I think we should have. I suggest, we do a female host for the Bachelorette, because I like the idea of the Lead having someone to confide in: imagine the conversation where Katie revealed her past trauma to Chris Harrison? That would have been gauche. For the Bachelor let's have a male host so the Lead has someone to confide in BUT…I fear that we then slide into separate is not equal, and we will be pitting hosts against each other unfavorably. If we do go back to a permanent male host I think I would like to see the mentor role (that apparently the show initially claimed for Kaitlyn and Tayshia rather than calling them hosts) because now that OMCH wasn't there and I could see it more clearly: IT IS BLOODY WEIRD FOR A YOUNG WOMAN TO BE SURROUNDED BY 30+ MALES ACTIVELY DRINKING ON HER VERY FIRST NIGHT, AND THEN TURNING TO ANOTHER MALE FOR COMFORT/PROTECTION/GUIDANCE the dynamic is in a word icky!

For completeness…ratings are down, but I think that has more to do with fatigue/the current viewing landscape and the Lead rather than a host or lack thereof…after all ratings have been going down steadily for years and this is just the first season without OMCH, so what happened those last few years with him on it?

Let's get into the show with this…Greg was originally supposed to be on Clare's season and was pulled from the cast, this worked out in his favor. 

We start with Katie and her 'mentors' giggling over the guys…"Tayshia thank you for introducing me to Blake."

I think one of my problems with Katie is that it’s weird to me that the bachelorette dresses worse than my mom. I say this as a son who just had to go and pick up a few tops for his mom because she is flying in and wants to travel light, and yes I know this is an indulgence, yes I know she is spoiled, and yes I know the fault lies with Aaron. But mom’s casual outfits (she gave me a guideline then I had to execute) absolutely look better than Katie’s. As I said to my friend Katie dresses like a 12 year old with no mirror (shout out to K-tina the Atl connect).

Katie tells Tayshia and Kaitlyn that she wants to give the guys a challenge that requires them to go without touching themselves for as long as possible…Katie the sex positive woman who BROUGHT A VIBRATOR FOR SELF CARE, is telling the men to not have self-care.

Kaitlyn goes to tell the guys and calls it a "WOWO" – "Week Off Whacking Off." Connor decides to tell us all the euphemisms for masturbation that he can get past the censor. Mike the virgin boasts that he has been preparing for this his whole life.

Tell me again that Katie doesn't come across as an immature kid this is the kind of giggly nonsense that a teenager does to their partner while not following through with it themselves.

 As I noted previously Katie has turned these guys into willful snitches as we get Tre speaking about policing the other guys if they break the no-self-love pact.

  Hunter is telling Greg he thinks he and Greg are in the top 4 for Katie…IDIOT!

  Justin gets the one on one date card:

Franco makes another appearance as we do the Bachelorette trope of making the couple do a wedding photo shoot. Franco raided a Joseph's Amazing Technicolor coat set for his outfit then had it hemmed to the moon. Show is keeping its budget tight by utilizing Franco for everything.

 Katie is doing the move of pretending this dress up event is illustrative of their real love.

Back to the hotel and some of the guys are discussing Hunter as a super fan who is calculating.

Back to the woods and the fake wedding as Justin and Katie pretend to sell this as legit. This is not the way I like to see Justin, I would much prefer if he were walking by and saw someone else doing this ludicrous exercise with Katie and giving us one of his amazing facial reactions!

Since Justin just had to go through the ritual of a wedding and reception does he get to go through a Honeymoon? Will this be an exemption since it would not be self-care?

Back to the hotel and the show plays some porn-esque music as the music bed while the guys discuss avoiding the touch…

Group date card arrives and Connor's name is not on it meaning he gets a one on one; Hunter curses since as a student of the show he understands that time is dwindling.

Evening portion of the date:

Katie says "the thing that makes weddings hard" is that her dad is no longer present so her dad will not be able to walk her down the aisle. But dear reader there is a twist, before her dad passed Katie found out that the man that was passing was not her biological dad. Further twist Katie's biological dad wants to be a part of her life and raise her (trauma and emotion aside, RAISE HER? Katie is 30, does he think she is 12 like I sometimes do?)

The musician that none of us know (NONE OF US KNOW) is Max…that's his full name, which makes me think he could have been a Bach contestant. I sometimes think the PAs are the ones who book these acts and the Producers do not want to show their ignorance so they sell it to the Executive Producers as "bro soon everyone will know who they are."

Group Date:

Katie says yesterday's date was wedding themed "today's will be more like a bachelorette party" uhmm sounds like you are doing your events in the wrong order. The date card said "This queen is looking for her king" and on the date 2 drag queens strut out; Monet X Change and Shea Coulee (from 'Drag Queen All Stars') "They are here to find out who is really here for me…and no one can spot a fake like a Queen…"

The men will have "to throw shade" and get on stage and insult each other while telling Katie why they are the best for her. The Queens start it off and take shots at Hunter...

During prep Hunter tells Shea Coulee that he is not ready to say he is in love with Katie and Tre overhears it.

Greg wrote a poem "12 Guys one rose" as he reads it the queens roll their eyes.

The feeling is that the guys are being too nice so they ask it to be switched to "who is least compatible for Katie." On stage Hunter tells everyone that he is falling in love with Katie and Tre calls him out saying that he said previously that he was not there yet…Hunter denies ever saying the negative. The guys all go in on Hunter, when Hunter has a chance to reply he says he has nothing mean to say.

After the group leaves Katie says "I was a little surprised…a lot of guys seem to have a problem with him in the house" take that with a grain of salt since in many ways on her season of the Bach many of the girls have revealed that she was basically their Hunter.

Back to the hotel, the date card arrives for Connor and as Justin goes for it we see nothing but Ankle.

Back to the date's evening portion:

Katie tells the guys that some of them need to step up because hometowns are coming up.

I am seriously resisting the urge to get a third bowl of ice cream, I blame this show, it makes me want calories maybe because the show itself is so empty?

 Greg tells Katie that he has a hard time reading her and Katie tells him "Ask me anything" so he does, he asks "how are you feeling" and Katie responds "I am falling for you."

Blake tells Katie that staying off his junk is "hard" and the punning is terrible and forced but it ends with a loud make out (all of Katie's make outs are loud, I should just assume you know they are loud and sloppy if I say Katie is kissing someone). Katie is starting to feel good about how the night is going soooo…

Guy after guy starts to tell Katie they are concerned about Hunter and Katie is worried that this is going to ruin her night. Katie takes Hunter aside and tells him she is worried about the phrases "being calculated" and "compared to Thomas."

Katie tells Hunter she needs some time to think and goes and throws up (from stress/emotions?) which we get to hear. Back to the guys "I had a really good time today, tonight was a mix of emotions…there will not be a rose handed out tonight." These guys really should follow the Andrew S playbook, bringing drama to the night doesn't help your chances. Brendan expresses frustration that he did not get any time with Katie, you are a tall white guy bro, I think you will be alright. 

One on one:

Connor is wearing a polo and of course it is a deep V version of a polo! Uh oh Connor rolls his suitcase out and exaggeratedly pats it with the cocky confidence of a man who does not think it will be rolled away…but…Katie tells us that she feels like she is in the friend zone with Connor and she might need one last kiss to make up her mind…nothing says getting out of a friend zone like having a double date with Kaitlyn and her beau Jason and [checks notes] PLAYING GAMES? Jason tells us that "Connor is the nicest guy I have ever met" probably not what Katie wants. Kaitlyn and Jason seem to like Connor more than Katie does, as they spy in on Connor and Katie they try to observe a kiss that they cannot see but we have to endure another Katie make-out.

Evening Portion:

And the show deliberately lets us see Connor and his exaggerated preparation method to make sure that his shirt is as unbuttoned as safely will be allowed and still claim to be wearing a suit. Connor is telling us how good he feels coming off the day portion and we get the foreboding because Katie is still in her lounge gear, she goes and knocks on Connor's door and you can see the light die in his eyes as he sees her outfit. Katie starts to tell him it's over and as she struggles to tell him he is trying to comfort her "it is okay, I know what is coming" BUT Katie decides that the knife must be fully twisted and tells him that she knew it was not going to work "because when we kiss something is missing." Say what you might want to about Matt but his breakups were smoother and much kinder. Connor in his ITM says "God how bad of a kisser am I?"

Katie shattered that man in a way that was not necessary, but juveniles often do not care about the feelings of others as they are breaking up.

To the shock of the guys,

Connor walks in to tell the guys goodbye and Tre breaks down; Aaron is surprisingly kind "I admire you and I want to be a person like you" while giving Connor a big hug, many others hug Connor.

Clearly the guys liked Connor 

As we go to Katie's room and she is crying, we hear some music on the outside and it is Blake holding up a speaker playing some country music outside Katie's window

and Katie goes from crying to beaming in no time…she tells Blake to come up, meets him in the hotel hallway and a Katie make-out ensues. Because Connor clearly meant very little to her in contrast with Blake, Katie is orders of magnitude happier to see Blake than she is sad to see Connor go. Blake is as calculating as the guys accuse Hunter of being!

Blake tells us that he believes Katie will be his fiancé and "I am just ready to enjoy my happy ending" as he puts on a do not disturb sing on his door and the show cuts to a sprinkler head popping up out of the grass and shooting water – subtle.

Cocktail Party (or lack thereof):

And it is a heavy makeup night for Katie. Katie tells the guys that time with them will not help to change her mind so she is cancelling the cocktail party. 

This bomb wrecks the guys.

As they line up the guys start to freak out realizing there are only 6 roses and whispering "4 going home."

Katie picks up a rose, calls Hunter forward then says "can we go outside to talk" while keeping the rose in her hand…this leaves the remaining guys on the podium just as nervous as before.

Katie and Hunter are having a heart to heart that feels like a mini cocktail party. Hunter returns to the group with no rose on his chest and Katie walks back with a rose in her hand. Katie "I don't have time to allow anyone to play catch-up I am just ready to find my person."

Blake gets the first rose, then Andrew, Greg, (Cut to Tre now nervous "I am definitely nervous about not getting a rose, I kind of spoke out about Hunter and that did take up 98% of our time looking back I could have talked about me instead of talking about Hunter and now going home is a real danger."

Michael A gets the next rose (while Aaron tells us that "I was trying to help Katie but now maybe she thinks I am part of drama), Mike P and his huge cross gets the next rose. As she holds the final rose Katie makes an exaggerated sigh and then says Brendan. 

Told you, you would be fine.

Tre "I made a couple mistakes…[then] I have no regrets in what I did" uhmm bro maybe have some regrets. 

TELL ME WHY KATIE HAD HUNTER RETURN TO THE GROUP TO THEN SEND HIM HOME? Petty juvenile. 

Bloopers?:

Katie is having tea with the Queens (and tequila) and she admits that she has made out with everyone and Greg is the best kisser.
