    Michael A.'s exit and the Men Tell All || The Bachelorette 17 || Petals & Thorns

    This week we saw Michael A's exit from the show. After struggling with the thought of not being with his son for so long, much to Katie's disappointment. We wonder about the likelihood of Michael becoming the Bachelor and what the consequences might be moving forward, as we're suddenly left with just 3 men before Hometowns even begin. We then take a brief detour to discuss the pointless mess that was the Men Tell All, while also somehow entering a Pro Choice v Pro Life discussion, in light of a contestant for Michelle's season seemingly voting for a Pro Life bill. The episode wasn't much, but we did find much to unpack in the pockets of it. Help us out by Reviewing and Subscribing on your Platform of Choice!

    Hometowns are set and WOW. || The Bachelorette 17 Week 7 || Petals & Thorns

    And we're back! And with good reason, as this week 7 was probably the best episode of the Season so far, with great storylines quickly developing as we head into Hometowns week. But for this one, we'd like to hone in on Michael's situation and how it might go down, and some thoughts on how this season even ends. There's a lot of drama being previewed and we can only let our imaginations run wild as we don our producing caps and predict the end of Katie's season of The Bachelorette.

    Group Dates are (mostly) pointless and dangerous. | The Bachelorette 17 Week 5 || Petals & Thorns

    Another week, another unnecessarily risky group date as we saw Michael A. suffer a disturbing injury on another ridiculous group date. Something needs to be done about these date ideas already. Also, turns out Hunter's Villain Preview was much ado about nothing. Shocker. We talk about this and more in Week 5 of The Bachelorette Season 17 with Katie.

    White Knighting never works. | The Bachelorette 17 Week 4 || Petals & Thorns

    Thomas is gone, but was it worth it for the guys to dedicate so much energy to getting him out of the house? Meanwhile, Owl decides to rant way too much about his gripes with the editing of the show. We talk about this and more in Week 4 of The Bachelorette Season 17 with Katie.

    Thomas is Problematic. Here's why. | The Bachelorette 17 Week 3 || Petals & Thorns

    Obviously, Michael A. is an incredible human being. But he never ceases to charm as we learn more about his story. On the complete opposite end, however, Thomas is pretty problematic-- just not for the reasons the show would have you believe.

    The Dates Begin! But it's the Greg Show already. -- The Bachelorette 17 Week 2 || Petals & Thorns

    We had mud wrestling. We had dirty talk. We had poop buckets? Katie's season of The Bachelorette continues onto Week 2 with the first group dates and the first one on one. We also saw Aaron and Cody take their still confusing beef to a seeming conclusion. So what happened? We get into it in this latest episode of The Bachelorette Season 17 Episode 2!

    Taylor Nolan Yikes it up, plus The Bachelor has a NEW HOST -The Bachelor 25 Week 8 || Petals & Thorns

    We took a while with this one but honestly, for the better because while the Hometowns episode was a certified snoozer, Bachelor Nation was given a LOT to talk about. In this episode, we talk about Taylor Nolan's problematic tweets, Emmanuel Acho being announced as host of After The Final Rose and where the Franchise could go from there and, of course, we break down Hometowns. Where we saw Michelle's students, Rachael plummeting from the sky, Bri's offroading revenge on Matt, and Serena's Canadian...ness. Hometowns was aggresively meh, but this podcast episode is definitely not. Enjoy. HEY! SUBSCRIBE. FOLLOW. WHATEVER YOUR APP CALLS IT.
