Welcome back to another episode of our podcast all about the ABC reality series The Bachelor and it’s many spinoffs.
ThePopBreak.com’s Michelle Coraci, who has been recapping all things Bachelor for The Pop Break for years, and cohost DJ Chapman, of Mostly Nitpicking, are back covering The Bachelorette’s 17th Season!
If you were worried about the team being MIA lately, you are in luck. Michelle & DJ will be reviewing the last three episodes of Bachelorette as part of Pop Break TV’s Rose & Rejections Week.
Today, they are covering The Bachelorette Season 17 Episode 3, which starts during the cocktail party and rose ceremony. Karl tries to start drama with Katie, but gets called out by Mike during the rose ceremony and inevitably gets sent home. The group date is co-hosted by Nick Vial, who ends up playing a very serious role. The group digs deep and gets really personal during this date, except for Thomas who makes claims about how personal he could get. Katie asks for clarification but doesn’t receive it, and the men start to distrust Thomas. Michael goes on a one-on-one date with Katie and opens up about his wife who passed away from breast cancer. Before the second group date, Hunter calls out Thomas who admits that he thought about being the next Bachelor.
Check back This Weekend for their discussion of Episode 4!
