 5. Kat’s Thoughts

Next up on the hot seat was Kat, who had several things to talk about after watching her journey on The Bachelor. She teared up and shook her head when they aired for dismissal from the show. Interestingly, this is at least the second woman who said Zach didn’t fight for them.

She said it was hard watching it back and seeing how happy she was where it ended. Kat thought that after their one-on-one date, they were each other’s person. Getting sent home right before hometowns made her feel unwanted. She is still looking for an answer from Zach and didn’t feel she got a straight answer during the show.

All was not lost from her journey as she noted that she had repaired her relationship with her mother, and her family had come together because of her comments on the show. She seemed to be in a much better place now, and it’s refreshing to hear that some good came out of this show.

6. Charity’s Case for The Bachelorette?

Charity was next up on the hot seat, but before that, Jesse asked the audience who thought Zach would end up with Charity by raising hands. Almost everyone raised their hand and any other available appendage. She also received the loudest and most enthusiastic ovation as she walked to center stage.

Here she watched her journey back with Jesse and the audience. She was left in tears seeing how it all unfolded. Jesse said she doesn’t give her heart to anyone, but Zach was someone special. Charity said he was a standup guy who checked all her boxes but felt blindsided when she was sent home. She admitted that she was heartbroken after being sent home, but after reflecting on the experience, she is all in on finding her person.

They leaned into this a little too much, talking about her journey, how she is ready to find her person, and how she enjoyed this process and navigated it well. Rumors have been circling that Charity will be named the next leading woman of the upcoming season of The Bachelorette. However, we had to wait a little longer to see if this was the news Jesse teased at the beginning of this episode.
