I am trying to get excited for Katie's season but it isn't happening I really can't explain it but I just have a hard time picturing her as a Bachelorette. I think she seems like a fun person to have as a friend, but watching her as the Bachelorette just doesn't sound appealing. She's missing... something. Michelle, on the other hand, I can't wait for her season. And I also want to be friends with her. I'm definitely more excited for Michelle's season than Katie's.

We all know Katie wouldn't have been the bachelorette if Michelle was available right away. She's basically filler.

Yes she is missing that wow factor that makes me want to watch her

There are some good-looking guys in that group. I do wish they would get away from some of the fratty-looking guys but at least there are fewer than usual.

Thanks for this! I think they may be saving the best for Michelle (not upset by that), half these guys look like they would be super alpha male, drama creating d!cks. Not what Katie needs....but it seems like she must have specified “works out” as a requirement! I think she would be best with someone sweet and lighthearted - I like 5, 11, 12, 32 for that vibe, plus they look good. I would go with 5 for first impression, him being a decade older than half the guys may give him the maturity that Katie is looking for.

I guess it’s a UO that I really like Katie. I hope she has a good season. I wonder where they will film?

She definitely got pigeon-holed on Matt's season but I imagine she'll have a chance to shine when she doesn't have to share space and the spotlight with other women. The good news is that even if her season is a stinker there's another one right around the corner!

I would absolutely hang with her, which is a real possibility since she's from the same area as me. I just feel like she's missing something. That "it" or wow factor or whatever. I'll still watch her season though. Gotta support the locals!

I’ll still watch, but I hope CH isn’t back for Michelle’s season or BIP. I think I’m going to like having two former bachelorette’s host.

IG Bachelor accounts are saying that Matt only broke up with Rachael because he couldn’t see a way to stay with her and not get dragged horribly. She was blindsided by the dumping because he assured her they could work through it, but, then he realized there was no way to stay with her without looking horrible. That’s why she hopes for a reconciliation - he had reassured her until recently that they would make it.
I don’t know if that’s true or not, but it’s what some accounts are reporting. I can’t remember if I read it on RS account or not. They all run together.

I am hoping I am wrong about Katie and she actually will make a great bachelorette, but she came in strong this past season and was every bit as much a part of the toxicity at first until she called it out so I while I am glad she did there is something about her I don't like. not to mention that I know everyone says i am wrong but when she said to the group of girls that it was karma the hate they were getting online for being mean when the black women in that group were getting death threats was cringy to me. Also like jubilantsquirrel, she was missing that it factor that thing that I feel carries a season

I follow Katie on social media. She’s pretty funny. I’m actually surprised they picked her based on some of her social media. She regularly talks about orgasms, sex, and she curses a lot. None of that bothers me, but I’m a little surprised given that it’s a show that’s supposed to be about “finding love.”
She also really, really loves her cat.

I mean she walked in night one with a vibrator so I am not surprised. Also before it is asked no that didn't bother me because I don't care about all that but I did feel she came in strong

angelashly, she came in waaaaay too hot, and I didn't like her at first, and I did think she was in the mix of mean girl shit for a while, but once she saw the damage it was doing, she course corrected. Whether because of optics or actual enlightenment, who knows, but I'd forgotten about that karma remark.

angelashly , she came in waaaaay too hot, and I didn't like her at first, and I did think she was in the mix of mean girl shit for a while, but once she saw the damage it was doing, she course corrected. Whether because of optics or actual enlightenment, who knows, but I'd forgotten about that karma remark. It was at the women tell all. It rubbed me the wrong way and I already was on the fence with her and it pushed me over I think they knew they liked her and gave her an edit that looked good because those women came hard for her and made it seem she was much deeper in than showed.

Not the first time or the last the show has or will pull these shenanigans. Someone, sometime needs to actually tell all on the WTA.

He is not doing much press at all but did a show with Bill Simmons that was really thoughtful. He was an idiot and didn't have race conversations with the white women and seemed genuinely surprised that she had no idea this was an issue. He was a very terrible pick as the first black Bachelor but I sense he has evolved quite a bit.

I was here too. I liked that she eventually called stuff out and made Matt aware of it, but she was never able to explain herself in a way that didn't drag her down too. Her arguments with the other girls about it during the season were kind of childish and defensive, and the karma comment at the WTA was really inappropriate and hurtful.

This is also why me as a white woman will work closely with my husband to make sure that DD always knows to have those uncomfortable conversations with people she is looking to date.

This is so important. Matt, not every white woman is as cool as your mom and oh by the way, your mom could be a total idiot on race too! It's strange because his brother seems to be the complete opposite of him, though they are close. The brother did an interview on the Higher Learning podcast with Rachel Lindsay and Van Lathan that was really good. As a black mom, I have to have the same convos with my boys too.

I need to listen to that. I was surprised he didn’t ask those questions unless they wouldn’t let him or didn’t show them. I think you’re right without his dad there his mom may not have forced those conversations. She seems stunted in that time in her life anyway and seems to want to keep her kids close

I'm not looking forward to intro night with Katie. I'm visualizing a bunch of guys with sex toys coming out of the limos.
