Summary

Rachel Lindsay talks about what it's like to go from being a lawyer, to Bachelor contestant, to the first Black woman to be the Bachelorette. Can you actually find love on these shows? Can you ever trust that it's real? And what role to do fireball shots play in the process?

And Lovett does ask about the fantasy suites, but from a place of concern and confusion, mostly.
