Roses & Rejections: The Bachelorette S19 Premiere!

Welcome back to another episode of our podcast all about the ABC reality series The Bachelor and it's many spin-offs. ThePopBreak.com's Michelle Coraci, who has been recapping all things Bachelor for The Pop Break for years, and cohost DJ Chapman, of Mostly Nitpicking, are back for the Season 19 of The Bachelorette…sort of! Michelle and DJ will both be back soon, but while they are on baby leave, Pop Break Podcasts Editor Alex Marcus and Live Laugh And Lovey host Lovey McPherson are holding down the fort. This week Alex & Lovey confess about their own Bachelor Nation origins before giving their impressions of the big twist of this season: two Bachelorettes! They speculate over just how happy Rachel and Gabby are to have to share the spotlight, breakdown which of the 32 men made strong first impressions and who flopped, which gimmicks they can respect, and whether any of them deserved to be kissed on the first date. They also consider whether Rachel and Gabby made the right choices for themselves for their first impression roses, what the producers were thinking about the those twins, and why no one gave Jacob a sweater!
