Summary

It's a BIG day, Shandies! We've been wanting to pick the lovely Katie Thurston's brain since we first recapped her Bachelorette season 2.5 years ago, and at long last, that day is here. Plus, it's been awhile since we've had a Confessions episode and we're thrilled this former Bachelorette and current star of F-Boy Island could make the time to join us! Katie's had a very busy and very public last 3 years, so today we talk the ins and outs of watching yourself back on TV, whether contestants behave differently IRL versus on TV, what she's learned about human nature after being on the receiving end of MILLIONS of opinions. What has been the key difference between dating "civilians" versus celebrities, has her notoriety helped or hurt her love life, and has her time on TV changed her personal relationships? And for our longtime Shandies, don't worry, Andy also brings up THOMAS! Multiple times. (See time stamps!) Don't miss Katie on Season 3 of F-Boy Island, currently airing on Hulu and the CW!
