Hello, everyone. It was a heavy night. Dear listener, I've been writing Bachelor recaps for a long,

long time, and I believe this episode resulted in the fewest notes taken in the history of my

random career, even back in the day when Firestone escorted a PYT out to the jacuzzi to sit in tepid,

unmoving water. I scribbled down more notes on an old, discarded chick-fil-a napkin

than I did in Katie's third week on her journey

to find someone who's here for the right reasons.

The episode was a lot.

So in taking a page from the sharing circle we witnessed on Monday night,

some guy and Austin and I take this time

to discuss the big picture questions surrounding the epic episode.

For example, is Thomas a chotch? Or is he playing the game in the most genuine way possible?

Is he just being honest and saying what everyone else is hiding? Will Carl show up at the resort demanding a second chance?

Is Michael ready for the inevitable heartbreak that is coming his way?

Is Nick Vile a skater boy now?

And last but not least, some guy has figured out the mysterious tattoos on the Canadian man's chest.

You'll have to listen to find out.

And the answer may surprise you.

Hey everyone, I'm Lindsay and welcome to the I Hate Green Beans podcast. During each episode, I'll be

discussing television, movies, music, and books with friends who love pop culture as much as I do.

For those of you wondering, yes, we will be talking about the Bachelor franchise.

And no, I do not want to try your grandmother's famous green bean cassero recipe.

But thanks for offering.
