  • Dave Quinn on Jen Shah interview 👎🏻 Kate’s questions are ALWAYS 5 ⭐️

    Dave Quinn sounds like a VERY kind person. He mentioned his own struggles similar to Jen Shah’s and that he’s no longer on social media but didn’t go into detail. It sounds like he’s actually going through similar situations currently, so it’s hitting close to home for him. Maybe a different journalist would have been a better fit. He does sound like a very caring person.

    His comments re his time with Jen Shah were really hard to swallow. He sounded more like a “fan” of Jen Shah vs a true inve... more

  • Making of the Bachelor

    OK. I don’t really watch Bachelor/Bachelorette, the concept grosses me out and I can’t stomach the women CRYING about being in love with guys they barely know. But, I was interested in hearing the stories from a former producer. Welp, when he consistently referred to the women on the show as “chicks” everything made sense. The producers clearly strive to demean women on screen, behind the scenes, on podcasts. Not shocking and pretty gross.
