E455 Bachelorette Recap w/ Elizabeth Wag...

Nick Viall
About this episode

Welcome back to The Viall Files: Bachelorette Recap Edition! Today we are back with another episode, joined by journalist and Bachelor Fan, Elizabeth Wagmeister! On this episode we kick things off by diving into some Bachelor Nation drama and news. We talk about the status of Tyler Cameron’s friendship with Matt James and how there may have been drama with Rachel K, a possibility of missing a book release, how much love is in a love hate situation, and pressures of being single when your friend is in a steady relationship. We also dive into breaking down this action packed episode of The Bachelorette, with moments of heartbreak, honesty, and nicknames. We talk about Jacob and Hayden apologizing in reaction to last week’s episode, Hayden saying disrespectful things while still mic’d up on the show, and how the format has led to more realistic depiction of modern dating that has resulted in a lot more rejection. We also talk about the best types of dates on the show, Rachel and Gabby genuinely having fun in a private conversation, potential proposals in Paris, and how Logan switching sides may lead to heartbreak but may also lead to everyone being more honest about their emotions. 

“The road to hell is paved with good intentions. The road to the villain edit is made the same way.”
