Summer Mode

Welcome to Bachademia! On Monday, the Bachelorette premiered with Katie as the lead! We are excited for a wild season. We do not have a guest with us today, just Danielle and Bill here. It is summer. We are in summer mode-- which means we don’t have our shit together. But we are delightful and promise mildly witty commentary and a few academic-y facts for your listening pleasure.
Question of the week? what is your go to ice cream flavor?
Like a summer’s day, the episode begins hot. Not really, I just thought that seemed like a clever transition. The episode begins with Katie talking about being chosen to be the Bachelorette and she explains what she is looking for. Bill, did any of this stand out to you?
They show a quick sneak peak of the guys and then we cut to Katie waiting for the men to pull up in the limo. Nothing happens and then Tashia and Kaitlyn sneak up on her. There are a few things to note here:
Thomas is the first out of the limo. The show really shows more tame entrances first. We have Thomas, Aaron, Andrew, and David. All a bit blah.
Then we get a little bit silly with Miachel who pretends to give Katie a family heirloom and then Tre who has balls in the back of his truck.
Greg is next. They have what I think is a pretty awkward interaction, she says that he looks like one of her exes. Eeeeeeh?
Then a bunch of boring entries: John, Garett, Austin, Marty, Landon, Karl, Josh,
Andrew came in an old car and then faked an accent that he claims is his alter ego.
Brandon came in on a moped. I can’t get over his entire vibe. That hair is a mood.
So the entrances start getting weird here: Kyle pulls out his underwear or something, Hunter appropriately given his name has a fish. Jeff has his camper. Marcus boring. Cody brings in a blow up doll.
Justin and Christian come in with the sex puns.. Justin being a painter talks about strokin it, Christian wants her to rub one out or something about a genie. Quartney has a whole speech memorized with sex puns.
Cat boy. Connor is dressed as a cat. The other men throw him shade.
So after all the limo entrances (btw- we still have the dude in a box/present. I still don’t get this) Katie goes in and welcomes the men. I felt like her speech compared to others, namely Matt’s was very different. In fact, it made me realize how not compatible her and Matt were.
She mentions that the Bachelor process is a weird one (she believes in it; but it is weird). Is the Bachelor process super weird?
Who stood out to you during the after party? We have Thomas who was super serious. Greg who was a bit bumbling but seems genuine. Tre is awesome but do they have a romantic connection? Justin, the painter, goes in for a kiss. Jeff, who totally has an Owen Wilson vibe, skeezes her out with his dirty camper.
DRAMA. What happened between Arron and Connor? I did not get any of that but it left me not trusting Aaron.
James is the box. Seriously what did he hope to accomplish with this. Also, I know people find him handsome but I think he looks suspicious.
Who went home: Austin, Brandon, Gabriel (he had weird vibes man; he was the long hugger), Jeff, Landon, Marcus, and Marty. Were any of these surprises for you?
It seems like this season will get inten
