Tensions Run High at The Golden Bachelor's Women Tell All Reunion
The highly anticipated reunion episode of The Golden Bachelor Season 2 was finally here, and it did not disappoint. In front of 15 women who were eliminated from Mel Owens' season, Nicolle Kate took to the stage to share her side of the story and address some of the drama that unfolded during the show.
Nicolle's claims of having no strategy for her time on The Bachelor were met with skepticism by Debbie Siebers, the third runner-up. "That's really hard for me to listen to... I really need to address the empowering women thing," Debbie said, setting Nicolle straight about her intentions and actions on the show.
The conversation quickly turned to the infamous lemon bar incident, which was revealed to be a collective effort between Nicolle and several other contestants. However, instead of taking ownership of her actions, Nicolle attempted to spin the situation as "empowering women." The group wasn't having it, and Debbie's blunt honesty left Nicolle visibly shaken.
As the night wore on, Mel Owens appeared in person, but he was noticeably absent from the drama, which only added fuel to the fire. Jesse Palmer took center stage, asking questions that probed deep into Nicolle's motivations and actions during her time on the show.
One thing is clear: Nicolle's attempt to frame herself as an "empowering woman" fell flat. Instead of inspiring confidence, her words came across as insincere and self-serving. Debbie's scathing critique left no doubt that she had seen through Nicolle's facade from the very beginning.
The Women Tell All episode was a masterclass in roast sessions, with each woman taking turns dishing out shade to their former rival. From Carol's pointed jab about being dismissed by Mel to Roxanne's snarky comment about Nicolle trying to spin her actions as "empowering," it was clear that the ladies were not holding back.
In the end, Nicolle attempted to wrap things up with a heartfelt apology and a promise to do better in the future. However, it was too little, too late. The damage had already been done, and the Golden Gals were left to pick up the pieces of their shattered pride.
As for Mel Owens, he remained firmly out of the spotlight, only reappearing at the end to praise his final three contestants. It's hard not to wonder what will happen next week in Antigua, but one thing is certain: it won't be boring. The Golden Bachelor Season 2 continues on ABC Wednesdays with next-day streaming on Hulu.

This Nicolle Kate girl needs to get her act together, ya know? She comes on stage thinking she's gonna dish out some sweet tea and instead she's just serving up a whole lotta drama. And Debbie Siebers, bravo! That woman is a boss and I'm loving the shade she threw at Nicolle. The lemon bar incident was lowkey hilarious, but not in a good way 
. Mel Owens staying out of it is smart on his part, he's better off not stirring up any more drama than necessary.
. This Women Tell All episode was everything and more, I'm so here for it 
.
I gotta say, Nicolle Kate's "empowering women" vibes are totally falling flat 
. It's all like, girl, if you wanna play the victim, own it, but don't try to spin your BS as a movement 
Like, where's the drama when you're supposed to be the star of your own show? 
The Golden Gals are serving up some serious shade, and I am HERE for it!
