    "We were on a break!" The Bachelorette Finale

    Kate and Marcie break down (one of?) the most dramatic Bachelorette finales ever! First off, Kate admits her defeat - Marcie was right about Tino and Kate was wrong. Very wrong. But Rachel is not looking too great either... Listen in as we compare the Rachel/Tino breakup to the Becca/Arie breakup and discuss Rachel threatening to take her ring off, if one kiss is cheating - or could you work it out if you really wanted to? - and so much more! Plus, we dig into Gabby and Erich's relationship (will it last? why didn't ABC address certain things? where are they living now?) and the new Bachelor, Zach, who we certainly aren't thrilled with. What a mess of a season... Follow us on Instagram @BacheloretteBuds
