#858. Fan favorite Jared Haibon joins Kaitlyn for this week’s Bachelorette rewatch, and they cover it all. He gets called out for voting for Britt (yep, still regrets it), relives the group date that left him with a black eye, and breaks down their most iconic moments — including a live Cranberries performance in a castle.

They dive into sleep deprivation, fashion fails, and a whole lot of movie quotes. Jared also opens up about being a late bloomer, his rollercoaster with Ashley Iaconetti, and how a floaty and a Titanic-level move finally sealed the deal on their real-life love story.

It’s funny, nostalgic, and a must-listen. Full episode out now!

#857. He Drove Up in a Cupcake and Drove Off with Our Hearts! Kaitlyn is joined by the one and only Chris “Cupcake” Strandburg for a trip down memory lane through her entire season of The Bachelorette. From being the first kiss on night one to reminiscing on group dates in Ireland, Chris shares the wildest behind-the-scenes stories — including how he landed the iconic cupcake-mobile (yes, it involves Burning Man), hilarious moments from the Aladdin group date, and how Kaitlyn rode off into the sunset in two helicopters… while he took a three-hour bus ride back. He spills on Amy Schumer, almost being cast on Andi Dorfman’s season, and even shows up with actual Bachelor memorabilia!! Nostalgic, hilarious, and unexpectedly sweet — this reunion is one for the books.

#856. Joe Bailey is back with that Southern charm, unforgettable accent, and a whole lot to say! He shares how he got cast on The Bachelorette after a two-hour audition (and met Cupcake in the hallway), relives the infamous sumo wrestling date where his balls made a surprise appearance, and laughs with Kaitlyn about being the group date groupie who was constantly pushed out of his comfort zone!

But Joe also gets real—opening up about the dark aftermath of Bachelor in Paradise, the intense hate he received, and how it took a serious toll on his mental health. He’s still figuring out what’s next (stand-up comedy, maybe?), but one thing’s clear: there’s no one like Joe Bailey!!

Enjoy this honest, hilarious, and long-overdue reunion!
