Welcome back to another episode of our podcast all about the ABC reality series The Bachelor and its many spin-offs.
ThePopBreak.com’s Michelle Coraci, who has been recapping all things Bachelor for The Pop Break for years, and co-host DJ Chapman, of Mostly Nitpicking, are back talking about the latest season of The Bachelorette!
This week The Bachelorette goes to Auckland, New Zealand! Michelle and DJ cover the continuing feud between Sam M and Devin as they go on their respective one-on-ones. They also talk about Sam N.’s (salmon’s) interesting choice of attire on the group date. Then they cover with the cliffhanger of someone from Jen’s past, what they think this means and if he’ll stay around. They wrap up with their thoughts on Season 2 of The Mole on Netflix and what improvement, they think, can be made to the show.
