The Betchelor

Then they dive into last night’s Women Tell All, starting with Victoria trying to defend her behavior on the show (with some surprising allies) and everyone coming for Katie. They discuss the showdown between Brittany and Anna over the escort drama, all the dates we didn’t get to see, and speculate about whether or not they cut an announcement of Katie as the next Bachelorette. Then it’s time for this week’s Betchelor Categories, including some Would You Rather questions, Jared’s Minute, and their picks for who they want to win this season. Learn more about your ad choices.
