It is with honor and sadness that I introduce myself as yourBacheloretterecapper for this week.
Just kidding; theyformed a union to kick out Karl.
Katie then calls off the rest of the cocktail party and jumps straight into the rose ceremony.
This isnt something we want to do right now, Mike P. tells her.
Weve come together in solidarity that we think that unfortunately what Karl said wasnt the truth.
And as a unit, we feel thats what we need to do.
My feelings about this aresomixed.
On the one hand, a union drive!
We love to see it!
What if they unionized against stupid group dates?!
On the other hand, it does put Katie in a truly tough position.
And now, theres a precedent.
(Spoiler: That happens immediately.
Its never great when the series heads in this direction.
Hunter cries about how he messed up his first marriage.
There is more than a little echo of Bachelorette Emily Maynard Johnsons Tragic Race Car Fiance, happening here.
It suggests Michael A. could go a long, long way.
Things are much iffier for Tom.
He dodges every specific question, and Katie leaves looking pretty unimpressed by him.
Lets see how Reaction King Justin feels about Tom telling Kate that hes falling in love with her.
He admits that he originally came on the show because he wanted to be the next Bachelor.
Yes, okay, hes gross.
Also … this is just how the franchise works?
Theyre mad at him because hes just doing what the franchise asks of people.
The problem isnt that he wanted to be the next Bachelor.
The problem is that he was very bad at pretending that wasnt his goal.
You should be so much better at pretending, Tom!
Will the Union ofBacheloretteGuys kick you out?
Will Katie decide youre too much of a snake to be here?
Will anyone inBachelorworld offer a meaningful responseto this incredible essay by Rachel Lindsay?
It has been corrected.
