14 Things You Didn't See on The Bachelorette "Men Tell All"

This week The Bachelorette "Men Tell All" episode aired, and honestly, it was pretty groundbreaking. Even, dare I say, feminist? And that's saying something considering this season started out (controversially) with two bachelorettes. In the July 20 episode, host Chris Harrison addressed the double standards surrounding Kaitlyn Bristowe's sexuality on the show and how the cyberbullying she's faced is "100 percent not acceptable." He even read aloud some of the most horrific tweets attacking her for being a "slut" to give people an idea of the hate she has faced every day this season.

But what didn't make the show? I attended the taping of the episode — two big takeaways, the bathroom was filled with rose petals and Ben Z. smelled as nice as you imagined — so if you want to get the scoop on what didn't make the final cut, read on!
