Will You Accept This Podcast Leslie & Lara

In pretty epic fashion, Katie's season comes to a close. The major fallout from Greg's exit somehow seems to fade as she focuses on her future with Blake and Justin, only one of which ends up being a real option for her. There's the big I love you, ring shopping with Tayshia playing the role of Neil Lane and lots of uncertainty going into the big day. Kat O'Leary joins me to talk through this wild finale, what we think of the new couple and the season as a whole.

Diane Taha joins to co-host this week as we go into a very unusual hometown week which includes one guy who arrived late but made a splash, one who we hardly know and one who surprised us with a last minute farewell. We discuss what we think it all means for the season!

Kate Kaput joins me this week to discuss Michael A's sudden departure and the Men Tell All for a sing-a-long, totally unplanned audience kiss, phone-a-friend with Thomas and a segment highlighting Kaitlyn and Jason's engagement. We also discuss Michelle's upcoming season, who might be our next Bachelor and, of course, Paradise!

It's down to the final 7! Grace Seery joins this week as co-host as we discuss another big round of cuts as Katie lands on her final four going into hometowns. Note: there's a bit of audio issues in the earlier part of the episode. Stick with us though!

It's a bit of a roller coaster this week. Justin becomes more than just an endless list of facial expressions, as he goes on a 1:1 with Katie. The guys do a group date with “RuPaul’s Drag Race All-Stars” winners Shea Couleé and Monét X Change, where their roasts turn into a whine fest about Hunter. And we finally get a 1:1 date with Connor, which doesn't end the way I think most anticipated, with him back at the house picking up his luggage and for a tearful goodbye with the guys. We also talk a bit about Paradise because that beach time is getting mighty close!

This week, I'm joined by a hometown friend of mine and long-time Bachelor watcher Jennie Berg to discuss our first complete Bachelorette episode in a while! Blake finally joins the guys and they love it every bit as much as anticipated, especially as she welcomes him with open arms and a 1:1 date. Yikes! Most of the house goes on a massive 13 person group date where one of the guys takes the competition a little too seriously. And we end with Andrew S finally getting his 1:1 in a sweet late night date with Katie.
