It’s Week 3 of being the Bachelorette for Rachel Lindsay, and this. episode. has. everything. Rejection. Bananas. Multiple references to stripping. Mud pits. Armchair psychology. Good ol’ fashioned racism. Horse cupcakes. Sit back and enjoy as I stumble through my thoughts, feelings, comments, and concerns.

Some notes on this week’s episode:
– Danielle Maltby (from Nick’s season and the upcoming season of Bachelor in Paradise) did, in fact, have a fiancé who passed away. Tragic backstory? Check.
– I can do a better Russian accent than the horrifying one I do here, I promise! I am so sorry.
– I was correct, The Ellen DeGeneres Show is an NBCUniversal production.
– Around the 22 minute mark, I briefly say that Peter has an “open book face” – I actually meant to say this about Fred. Fred’s emotions were written all over his face during this episode.
– I just want to point out that I mentioned both the Spice Girls and the Backstreet Boys this week.
– In this episode, I use the Zac Brown Band as an example of a C-list country group, when they are actually very successful Grammy winners. My bad! I should’ve used someone like Chris Lane (who?) as an example instead. He performed on the show last season.
– Around the 36 minute mark, I yell into the mic while imitating Lee. I’m sorry, I got carried away.
– Whaboom and Blake were much better examples of contestants “sinking their own ship,” “showing their asses,” etc. Contestants: let the weirdos be weirdos and the attention-seekers be attention-seekers. The Bachelor/Bachelorette will eventually figure it out themselves and send them home. Rachel did it week 3! No need to tattle.
