17x01 - Week 1: Season Premiere

[bunniefuu]

This season,

get ready for a Bachelorette

like we've never had before.

Howdy, boys!

All: Katie!

Whoo!

Oh, my God.

[whistle blows]

Line 'em up. all: Katie!

It's the beginning
of our journey!

This is about to get wild.

[cheering] Yeehaw!

Can someone just tell me

when Fantasy Suites are, please?

I feel so dirty. [both laughing]

I'm just a regular girl
looking for love.

I'm very confident
in myself as a woman.

[cork pops] Whoo!

But it's not just about sex.

I like that.

It's about
connection and intimacy

and vulnerability.

[balloon pops] [laughs]

Katie is beautiful.

She's funny. She's sex-positive.

Are you naked?
You are not gonna need this.

[all screaming]

I'm a smitten kitten.

Is he, like, a furry?
[laughs]

This is definitely
gonna be sexual.

[screams, laughs]
She did not.

She did not. [laughing]

You behave yourself,
little girl.

[dramatic music]

I didn't think
it would come this quick.

I was praying
the whole time I'm there,

'cause I'm a virgin.

Sex is not something
I take lightly.

She's trusting guys that
she shouldn't be trusting.

That was the dumbest thing
you could've possibly done.

You need to get
the [bleep] out of my way.

[grunting]

It's not fair to her, man.

It's not [bleep] fair to her.

[crying]

This is a real woman's life

that's in the balance.

My time with Katie
is more important than yours.

You're a terrible person.

What is happening is so wrong.

You say the things
exactly as I want to hear them.

[sighs]
This is a bad person.

I'm done with him.
I'm done with him.

I'm not afraid
of any of these guys.

He's some sort
of manipulative psychopath.

If you want to come at me,
come at me.

This is not my fault.

This is insane.

Everything he's done
is a charade.

He essentially lied
to my face.

He singlehandedly
made her doubt

her relationship
with each and every one of us.

Oh, my God. [sighs]

I think it's about time
she just learned the truth.

Are you serious?

This is [bleep] [bleep].

for marriage.

So I've never had sex.

Just chillin'.

there's anything wrong

with being sex-positive.

I personally want to share that
