Two Bachelorettes is two too awkward.

Sorry for the delayed post - was playing in a charity golf tournament for work all morning. But I'm back, and there was a Bachelorette premiere last night. featuring not one, but TWO bachelorettes! Kaitlyn's joke oretty much summed it up:
Knock knock...
Who's there?
Two Bachelorettes.
Two Bachelorettes who?
That's the joke!
Annnnd cue crickets. At least in Britt's corner - she's there for LOVE, dammit! Not stand-up comedy!

But first, we have to meet the guys. All 25 of them. Lots of country guys (perhaps vying to be the next Chris Soules?). A "healer" (who arrived with a black eye that no one asked about. WTF kind of healing is this?). An "amateur sex coach." Really? Isn't that every guy? A guy who arrived in a hot tub car (aka "carPOOL" - get it?!). And the guy who wins, arriving in a cupcake car.

The guys must awkwardly approach either Kaitlyn or Britt first, kissing their hand, telling them how beautiful they are...and then turn and have nearly the same conversation with the other one. Loud enough for both to hear. Plus, some of the guys bring gifts for one girl but not the other...holy awkwardness! Wonder if the ladies were told to wear black (Kaitlyn) and white (Britt), to really solidify how different they are. Probably.

Although in the driveway it seems like more guys are here for Britt, once inside we see that Kaitlyn has a lot of fans as well. And the guys' votes decide WHO STAYS, WHO GOES. #mostdramaticroseceremonyever

So the ladies start working the room like it's their job - and it is. All the guys are on board - except Ryan, who gets out of control drunk, gropes Kaitlyn and goes swimming in a black Speedo. Thank goodness Chris Harrison bids him a fond farewell and sends him packing. Man down, guys - man down!

We're left hanging to see if Britt or Kaitlyn will be the next Bachelorette, and I'm left wondering if the guys who want the girl who doesn't get picked will secede in some rogue Bachelor gang out of protest. Holy cliffhanger...
