In this episode, we chat about Katie “Vibratie” Thurston, her 30 new boyfriends, their bios, their socials, and our thoughts about the upcoming season… which we can’t believe is here already and we have to do again in the fall.

MENTIONS

• You don’t have to watch The Bachelor/ette to enjoy our spoiler-free recaps. Join us for the rest of the season at Patreon.com/popcast.
• We made you a Bachelorette Companion for the premiere! Visit knoxandjamie.com/bach for all the details (including our very own Bachelorette Bracket!)
• DO: follow along with the full cast bios as you listen.
• DO NOT: listen with little kids around.
• Katie Thurston- Instagram | TikTok | Twitter | Bach bio
• Reminders: Chris Harrison isn’t hosting. Tayshia Adams and Kaitlyn Bristowe aren’t hosts per se, but rather are “love sherpas” (as dubbed by Knox). Is Chris Harrison suing ABC? Tayshia is still with this guy; Kaitlyn got engaged to this guy (who is not this guy). 
• Individual bios & Instagram accounts: Aaron @aaronrclancy | Andrew M. @soymilc | Andrew S. @andrewzspencer | Austin @austinsley | Brandon @amadoseba | Brendan @thebrendanquinn | Christian @christian.smith17 | Cody @menkster_ | Connor B. @connorfalcon - Spotify | Conor C. @conorcostello4 | David @dscott530 | Gabriel @gabrielzeverett | Garrett @garrettschwartz_7 | Greg @greggrippo | Hunter @hmontgomery | Jeff @captainvolcano | John @johnalexhersey - John’s dog in a turtleneck| Josh @joshtylerbest | Justin @justinglaze | Karl @ksmithinspires | Kyle @kyle_howard1 | Landon @landongoesling | Marcus @marcus_lathan | Marty @marty__mar | Michael @michael_alliol4 | Mike @mikeyplaneta | Quartney @quartneymixon - 17 pound transformation | Thomas @thomasajacobs | Tre @_trecooper | Box 
• Bachelor Nation news: Matt and Rachael are evidently back together. Australia cast its first openly bisexual lead. Colton is gay and has a new Netflix series coming out (unintentional pun but I’m leaving it).
• Fact check: How many countries are there? 
• Side note: [email protected] isn’t real.
