Well, ladies and gentlemen, it’s that time of year again. We all gather around the TV, grab a box of wine and call our loved ones to tell them we will be unavailable for the next three hours. Is it the super bowl? The Oscars? NOPE, we are talking about The Bachelorette‘s “Men Tell All” special.

If you are anything like me, a good 70% of why you watch the show is so that you can get to know all the men and what has been going on for the sole purpose of understanding and living for all the drama at the Men Tell All.

The way that this show really hits its stride is by making fun of the ridiculousness that goes on. For the reunion, that included Adam Jr. making an appearance:

Putting the “tickle monster” in a chair shaped like a hand and never actually addressing that on TV because The Bachelorette is just full of jokes.

And of course, the men showcased their beautiful romance:

Buckle up, because we have lots to get through.

Wahboom was repeatedly dragged.

In what can only be described as insane hypocrisy, Wahboom got yelled at for all of the episodes he was in for just trying to be on TV. Sorry to break it to you men, but y’all were trying to be on TV, too, considering you are on TV “trying to find love” when you could just be on E-Harmony or Tinder like the rest of us.

They started it off by talking to Wahboom, who confirmed that he was there to have a good time on the show and see what happened with Rachel.

Chris Harrison then asked the question that America has been dying to know.

Someone nominate this man for a Nobel Peace Prize!!!

DeMario Jackson gave himself the worst defense ever.

Harrison asked DeMario about Lexi, the woman who showed up at the basketball date. DeMario thought that he would be honest, I guess, He said, “I text everyone.” ~Swooon~ amirite ladies? I could only dream of my future husband saying that on live TV. He later clarified that he did know Lexi but she was just a side chick.

And then in possibly the most random and worst defense in history, DeMario said, “Well, Bill had sex with Monica.” I mean yes, maybe don’t defend yourself by referencing the actions of a former president that culminated in his impeachment. Just a thought?

Byeeee, DeMario. See ya never!

Kenny vs. Lee, again.

Kenny talked about the fact that he started this drama with Lee because they had all decided to be stand up men and when Lee started being a jerk, Kenny was going to check him.

Dean then stepped in and stood up for Kenny, saying that he was the most liked person in the house and when all the men in the house are against one, it is pretty obvious who is in the wrong.

DeMario, in his campaign for most hated man in America, decided that the good idea in this moment would be to defend Lee and say that he was the one who was the most there for him after his BIP scandal.

Lee did apologize to Kenny and commended him for always taking the high road. Kenny also commented on the fact that he didn’t think that Lee was racist until he watched his interviews on screen.

Mackenzie stole our hearts.

Chris Harrison, that old softie, brought Kenny’s daughter onto the show so that they wouldn’t have to be separated for one more day and we all cried.

Not only did Harrison bring Mackenzie on the show, he sent them both to Disneyland for Kenny’s birthday.

Lee is a racist.

Dean started it off by pointing out that Lee was sitting in the hot seat apologizing but he was self-promoting the show on his Twitter and that he didn’t apologize for or explain any of his actions and it was just on TV that he was acting apologetic. Yaaas Dean, slay Dean. Remember that he was the one who first pointed out Lee’s racist tendencies? This guy knows what’s up.

Kenny then added that a real man needs to be accountable for his words and actions.

In a moment that actually made me cringe but also love Chris Harrison even more, he put some of Lee’s tweets onto the big screen and made Lee talk about them. “To make me read that aloud even made me uncomfortable,” Chris Harrison said, voicing the thoughts of every single journalist who has had to cover Lee’s ridiculous tweets.

Josiah asked the burning question about why Lee decided to come on the show and date an African-American woman while dissing the NAACP, which Josiah credited for allowing him to stand on the stage next to Lee.

Every single guy on the stage then rightfully roasted Lee for only feeling bad when he saw the tweets came out and not because of the content of the tweets.

DeMario, in one of his shining moments, put Lee in his place by saying “to compare the f*****g KKK who burned and hung crosses in people’s lawns to the NAACP, do you know what that is? For me I want to sit you down and give you f****g history 101 because that is stupid.”

Basically, we heard some great points from all the men but didn’t get any explanation or true legitimate apology for Lee’s actions. And the thing is, that is just the point. He doesn’t even have anything that he can truly apologize for because based on the actions that we saw from Lee, this sort of behavior and mentality is ingrained into him.

As much as I love Chris Harrison and will die trying to get Chris Harrison to be the final Bachelor, it makes me mad that he thanked Lee so many times for coming on the show and being “brave.” No, Chris, that’s not called being brave, that’s called being slightly accountable for your repeated actions.

Heartbroken Dean.

Dean is for sure one of the most loved contestants in Bachelor history and fans were shocked and heartbroken when he was sent home after the hometown dates.

With those piercing blue eyes, adorable smile and cute personality (I like Dean, okay?) it is hard to see why anyone would reject him.

Well, Rachel didn’t feel the same way evidently.

Dean questioned Rachel.

Dean asked the question that he obviously most wanted to know but unfortunately, it just gave me flashbacks to the time that Nick Viall cemented himself as the villain on the After the Final Rose.

Her Campus

Dean’s was obviously more justified, but these are just my feelings, Bachelor Nation!

Rachel slayed.

And last but not least, our girl Rachel completely killed it on the show.

First, she gave out the world’s best shade by responding “who?” when Chris Harrison brought up DeMario.

She then told Lee that she was disappointed that he didn’t take the time to learn from the different people and cultures he was around and then in the most iconic line of this franchise said, “I hope that in watching it back you realize that you were a part of something so great but in case you didn’t, you can exit stage left and meet me backstage and I would be more than happy to give you a black history lesson and a lesson on women’s rights, you know what I am saying?”

Damn, this girl never stops rocking it.

Considering the fact that there have been countless Men Tell All and Women Tell All specials in the past, this one touched on race and women’s issues, so of all the three hours that we have spent watching this show, this one was probably the most beneficial.

*Chris Harrison voice* coming up next post, let’s see who Rachel chooses. Will Peter finally decide to commit? Will Bryan be exposed as a snake? Check it out next Monday as Rachel gives out her final rose.

Cheers, everyone!
