‘The Bachelorette’ spoilers find that the reality series seemed to forget its roots on Monday, instead of turning into the game of Survivor as the men of the house unionized and ‘voted Karl off the island’.
Ultimately, of course, it was lead- Katie Thurston’s decision, how to dole out the roses (which was how episode three opened…yes, sigh, we are back to the infuriating format of no rose ceremony at the end of the episode, rather having it bleed over to the next week’s show).

However, with Karl causing such a ruckus directly before the rose ceremony- giving Katie a very vague yet soul-crushing tease that ‘there are some men not here for the right reasons’, the others decided that Karl, a motivational speaker (who seems excellent as his job- he spoke and the men were motivated to sharpen their pitchforks) has ‘gotsta get gone’.
Katie decided to end the cocktail party abruptly, leaving the men to gang up on Karl who still couldn’t give names or examples of the supposed villain. So of course, he became such.
Then came the funnest rose ceremony to watch since a random drunk chick fell off her podium.
After gym owner Mike P. stepped forward to take his rose from Katie, he decided she needed to know that Karl was a complete asshat with zero foundation to his claims, who really liked the sound of his own, booming voice and was liable to practice shadow boxing in a suit at any given moment.
Okay, he may not have gotten through all that, but did let the leading lady know that, “We feel as a unit it’s our job to protect your heart, and we’ve come together in solidarity and we think that, unfortunately, what Karl said wasn’t the truth. As a unit, we really feel that’s what you need to hear.”
Sure, we’ve all had guys with personal vendettas against each other, which this could have easily become. But, in a “Captain, my Captain” style coup, each man then took their turn to back up Mike’s claims. Cue the selling opus!
Katie took a pause to regroup, reprimp and readjust her rose designations, leaving Karl roseless and friendless by the end of the ceremony. As all the guys rallied around John who was robbed of a rose, also, Karl stood like a puppy with his tail between his legs, awkwardly waiting to see if anyone would say “Byeeeeee, see ya never” to him, but they didn’t even bother.
Even Katie stood emotionless in a “you’re still here?” way until producers gave Karl the green light to skedaddle. Honestly, the only thing missing was new hosts, Kaitlyn Bristowe and Tayshia Adams snuffing out Karl’s torch!
BTW, turns out Karl was right, and Thomas is running around telling the house AND Katie that he absolutely came to the show for the wrong reasons. He just does it so charmingly that Katie is still giving him a chance…for now. We will not be surprised if the men ‘Norma Rae’ Thomas from the show, too!
