‘The Bachelorette Men Tell All’: 5 things you need to know about Monday’s ‘MTA’
By Ruby Maxwell
The Bachelorette finale is just two weeks away. But first, Rachel’s guys will throw shade at each other during the Men Tell All special.
The Bachelorette star Rachel Lindsay hands out her final rose on August 7. Before she wraps up her overnight dates and heads to the final rose ceremony, Rachel will come face-to-face with most of the guys from her season during the Men Tell All.
The MTA was taped last weekend and, yes, things got a little heated. And Dean tugged at our heartstrings. Oh, and Rachel’s third runner-up didn’t show up. Wait! There’s more. Here’s what you need to know before the Men Tell All airs on July 31.
DeMario stayed silent
Host Chris Harrison brought DeMario Jackson up on stage for a little hot-seat time. If you’re expecting a tell-all about Bachelor in Paradise, forget about it.
According to Reality Steve, DeMario talked about the situation with his fake girlfriend and didn’t say a word about Paradise. Of course, producers are saving that conversation for the BiP reunion show. Yawn.
Lee showed up
If you follow Rachel’s guys on social media, you probably spotted Lee at the Men Tell All after-party. That’s because this season’s villain showed up to face the guys. In particular, Kenny King.
Get ready for the Lee-Kenny show on Monday night. Apparently, a good portion of the show was dedicated to the fact that they aren’t in a bromance.
Producers put Lee’s nasty tweets (he’s since deleted them) up on a big screen and Lee basically shrugged them off and promised to be less of a douchebag. Or something like that.
Whatever, Lee. At least DeMario seems to like you.
Who was in the hot seat?
In addition to Lee, 3 other guys got called up to the hot seat to talk to Chris Harrison and/or Rachel Lindsay. Dean, Kenny, and Adam all got a chance to talk about their time on the show.
Chris stuck his nose in Dean’s business and asked about his father. Dean revealed that he hasn’t spoken to him since he filmed the hometown dates segment. Leave the poor kid alone. He has enough going on with his Bachelor in Paradise love triangle.
It’s still a mystery how Adam made it to the final six. Did he even kiss Rachel? Fans will apparently see some footage of Rachel and Adam that wasn’t exciting enough to air on the show. At least he got a free ticket to Paradise.
Kenny’s daughter will make an appearance on the show. Of course, he cried. He’s such a teddy bear. We’re #TeamKenny.
No one talked about Paradise

No new preview for the upcoming season.
And no chit-chat with some of the Bachelor in Paradise contestants who were in the Bachelorette Men Tell All audience.
Raven, Jasmine, Kristina, Amanda, Ben Z., and Alexis attended the taping but they didn’t speak.
Of course, they all went to the after-party because the Bachelor franchise is one, big, happy family.
Ahem — spoiler ahead….
Rachel’s third runner-up was there. Sort of.
Wait, what? That’s right. Eric Bigger was at the after-party but wasn’t on the Men Tell All. That’s because producers changed things up this season.
Eric will get eliminated on the final episode (August 7) so he couldn’t come face-to-face with Rachel. ABC hasn’t confirmed this, but we fully expect to see Eric on the After the Final Rose special hugging it out with Rachel and her final two guys.
Watch the Bachelorette Men Tell All on Monday, July 31 at 8 pm ET.
