The Bachelor Is Cancelled & Laura Turns 40

Hey Lifers!!

Welcome to Laura’s 40th birthday party! She’s got another party coming but her friends have taken over party planning and it’s becoming an extravaganza! Britt’s been tasked with finding a magician and we’re all on the hunt for Laura’s birth time for her birth chart.

We have a nice sentimental moment when we get to share some of the ways that Laura has impacted your lives. Some are heartfelt and beautiful, some are absolutely hilarious.

Laura also gets a personalised surprise performance by the incredible Hannah Conda 

We need to talk about Taylor Frankie Paul and the cancellation of the bachelorette in the US.
ABC pulled the season three days before it was supposed to air. They pulled the season after WE saw the violent video, not because they became aware of the past behaviour of the person they chose to cast!
We speak about:

• Whether Taylor was cast because of controversy or in spite of it?
• The courts vs the court of public opinion
• How far the ‘line’ is being pushed by casting someone with criminal charges
• ABC's culpability
• Britt and Laura’s lived experience with the bachelor and why certain people are cast
• The background checks that they do
