She unpacks the absolute implosion of the recent “Bachelorette” season with “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” star Taylor Frankie Paul, dives into all her “Mormon Wives” highlights (Miranda and Layla) and low lights (DadTok), and theorizes on what the connection is between these broken franchises and America’s larger cultural shift.
