“Bachelorette” Jenn – thoughts on the overnight date, her analysis of the “Golden Bachelorette” Final 4, the latest on the drama surrounding Kaitlyn/Tayshia and her daily roundup from August 27th.

Don’t forget to send out your “reader emails” tomorrow, so email me your questions/requests/comments now at [email protected]. You can also reach me via Twitter DM or IG. We have “Men Tell All” to discuss tomorrow, but I’m sure it will mostly be about what Sam M says on stage. Let’s hope he shows even a little bit of remorse and doesn’t get defensive again.

The Kaitlyn/Tayshia story is still dominating the headlines as everyone has been talking about it for the past few days. In case you missed the main part of what everyone is focusing on, here are the most important 90 seconds from their interview on the “U Up?” podcast:

I shared almost all of my thoughts in yesterday’s and today’s Daily Roundup, but here’s the most important thing people need to understand. Just because I feel Kaitlyn shouldn’t have said that on a podcast doesn’t mean I’m anti-Kaitlyn. It also doesn’t mean I’m Team Jason or Team Tayshia. I don’t even know Jason, never had anything to do with him. And Tayshia hates me, so I really have no reason to defend her in any way. And I’m not here. I’m not judging her for anything either. She’s basically distanced herself from the entire Bachelor Nation for a few years now, like I said before. Heck, she’s had a boyfriend for over a year now and still hasn’t let him go hard, which is pretty impressive in this day and age. So don’t make it a “hate” toward Kaitlyn or anything. My opinion is she just shouldn’t have said that on a podcast. She should have been a little more discreet about what she wanted to share about that part of her relationship with Zac. Period. That’s it. I’ve had barely any contact with Kaitlyn in my life. I wrote her a few emails a few years ago and saw her for about 30 seconds a few years ago when she did a Spade and Sparrows appearance at a Target 5 minutes from my house. That’s it. It’s the biggest story in Bachelor Nation right now. I’m not unfollowing her. I’m not bashing her. I’m not canceling her. I’m just giving my opinion on what she said on the podcast and I just thought it was a bad visual and she probably regrets how it came across. I understand she wanted to make a joke. It just wasn’t a good one and didn’t need to be told.

There were contradictions on the podcast as well. Kaitlyn made it clear that she doesn’t want to go hard on a boyfriend in the future. She even said on THIS podcast that she felt like she and Jason were basically doing too much with their social media activity to please their followers and that they were getting carried away, which is why she doesn’t want to do that with anyone else in the future. She’s been with Zac for a while now, never posted with him, never mentioned him by name, and stuck to what she preached a while ago. But then she came on this podcast and basically said things about their relationship that she would never do. Because of that, I don’t understand why she said all that – and I’m not even talking about the cocksucking joke. Just rehashing a private conversation she had with Tayshia didn’t seem necessary. Plus, we know Kaitlyn struggles with daily trolls on the internet and the hate she gets from them. She’s always told people to be nicer, behave better, etc., but then in this podcast she talks in a joke about behavior that makes her seem petty and mean. She has to know people are going to react. But there’s a difference between constructive criticism, which I think I’m giving here, and hate, which I’m sure she’s getting a lot of from online trolls. Let’s put all of this behind us. If she bothers you that much, unfollow her. Don’t DM her, don’t leave captions on her IG, etc. Just let it go. My advice to her would be to step away from social media for a few days while she’s with her family. She won’t lose her brand by doing this. She won’t get canceled. She might lose a few followers, but in the long run she’ll be fine. She just needs to be more conscious of what she says in a public forum. particularly if it has something to do with their relationships.
