Men Tell All. Or at least, some.

This may be the most controversial Bachelorette ever, but I found this Men Tell All to be a bit lackluster. We never heard from yogi Tony or Cupcake, the Clint/JJ bromance was briefly addressed and just as quickly put to bed (ha), Ben Z and Ben H are clearly the crowd favorites, Jared is still hung up on Kaitlyn and Corey likes to give his two cents on everything, although no one remembers who Corey is.

The only semi-significant thing that happened was Ian's weird, yet heartfelt, apology. He literally got down on one knee to beg forgiveness, but when one of the guys asked if he was proposing, he got down on both knees. He sincerely apologized to the guys, to America, to Kaitlyn and to Kaitlyn's mother. (And probably to the producers, in case they DO want him to be the next Bachelor...)

Kaitlyn came out in this glittery dress - and did anyone else see butt cheek?


That spot right there, with no sequin coverage. Where's Jillian's black bar when you really need it?? (On Bachelor in Paradise, apparently)

But I digress. Chris Harrison addressed the controversy, and read some of the mean tweets Kait has received. She got a standing ovation from the crowd and from the guys, and even I felt a little sorry for her. She wiped away a tear with yet another statement ringed-hand and addressed questions from Jared and Ben H. She even accepted a rose from Bryan (the dude who got "horned up" on the very first episode and didn't even make it to the rose ceremony) and an apology card (and more kneeling, until a leg cramp forced him to stand) from Ian. The topic of Nick got the guys a little heated - why not date him off the show? Why tell us your husband was in the room before Nick even arrived? Etc. Some valid points, especially by Tanner, but Kait shot down Jonathan's complaints beautifully: "Didn't you vote for Britt??" BURN.

Speaking of, I half expected Britt and Brady to appear, but maybe that's After the Final Rose?

The blooper reel closed the show, with lots of footage of Kaitlyn being terrified of birds. Especially pigeons. Cue Kentucky Joe donning a creepy bird mask and rushing the stage. Good times, everyone. Good times.
