We’re still working through the communities that were attacked in Taylor Nolan’s tweets. This week, Megan focuses on the Jewish community and talks about Anti-Semitism around the world and in the United States. We jump in the way back machine, to 1913 and Megan tells the story of 13-year-old Mary Phagan who was murdered at the Atlanta, Georgia factory she worked in. Media attention turned to the supervisor of the factory, Leo Frank, a Jewish man. Leo is then tried and convicted of Mary’s murder, on very suspicious testimony. After his sentence is commuted, from death to life in prison, a white mob lynched Leo Frank in Marietta, Georgia. Today, Leo Frank is widely believed to be innocent of Mary’s murder. The true murderer is believed to be the lead witness for the prosecution.

We decided to cover stories that highlight the marginalized populations that were attacked in the recently resurfaced tweets by Taylor Nolan. This week, we focus on the Asian-American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) communities. Danielle tells the story of the murder of Gerlie Alpajora in the Camarines Sur province, located in the Philippines. Gerlie was assassinated because of her advocacy work targeting illegal, unregulated, and unreported fishing in the area. Gerlie’s murder also brought light to the disappearance of Keith Davis, both highlighted in the Netflix documentary Seaspiracy. The documentary is about the environmental impact of industrialized fishing directed by and starring Ali Tabrizi. The film features human impacts on marine life and the human rights violations that surround the fishing industry.

This week we are connecting our true crime story to The Bachelor finale and After the Final Rose (ATFR). This season we saw a lot of problematic white women and racism all up and through this franchise. It all ended with Rachael Kirkconnell receiving the final rose and forcing everyone to focus on her racially ignorant ass, rather than the love story we wanted for Matt James. Danielle covers the story of another problematic white woman, Rachel Dolezal. Rachel, also known as NKechi Amare Diallo, was exposed in 2015 after news broke that she was pretending to be black, when she was actually born to two white parents in Montana. The story made national headlines and had the world talking, so we had to tell you about it.

Although we’ve come to the end of the road … we still need to recap this last episode! This week are again joined by our hilarious lady lawyer friend Kelcee, to talk about all that happened in this 3 hour, Chris Harrisonless, last episode of the season. We see Michelle meet Matt’s family (and listen to Kelcee swoon over John James), the final dates and Matt give the final rose to the last problematic white woman left in the season. Our BIPOC highlight of the week goes to our new hostess with the mostest, Emmanuel Acho! Emmanuel did an amazing job having the difficult conversations about race during ATFR and answering all the questions about Racist Rachael that we needed answers to.

At the Women Tell All, some of the women were fake AF! Fake personalities and crocodile tears. So, Megan tells the story of another faker, Anna Delvey (aka Anna Sorokin).

It’s fantasy suites week, and we are joined by our beautifully basic friends, Alex and Loren, from the Basic Bitch Podcast! To start things out, we see Matt have a difficult conversation with his father, who has not been around for most of Matt’s life. We see Michelle’s Pennsylvania Dutch-inspired spa date, Bri’s hiking date, and Rachael’s pottery date. The three fantasy suites definitely are not all on the same level, and Rachael gets a whole house for her suite AND fireworks. The Producers are making their biases known, and known loudly. We hate it. Our BIPOC highlight goes to Bri Springs (of course), we also say goodbye to Bri as well. Bri is the 25-year-old communications manager from San Francisco, California. Bri has been serving us LEWKS all season and left her job to continue on the show. Bri, if Matt didn’t appreciate you, we sure did! Promo: This episode is sponsored by LW Creations.

Week 8 of The Bachelor, we saw Rachael Kirkconnell have a skydiving hometown date (that told us nothing about her being from Georgia). Rachael did not have the softest landing, we are glad that she is ok, but think our BIPOC ancestors had a hand in that and we thank them! Danielle covers the 2003 mysterious death in Lincolnshire, United Kingdom, of Stephen Hilder. Stephen was a young, but experienced, skydiver that plummeted to his death during a national competition. Stephen’s death was immediately suspicious based on the way his parachute was tampered with. The question still lingers as to whether Stephen’s death was murder or suicide.

It’s time for the Women Tell All and we are joined by our amazing friends Liv and Bix, of ITM with Liv and Bix! But, before we can get into any of that, we spend some time addressing the most recent Bachelor Nation controversy, the past tweets of Taylor Nolan. These tweets are incredibly hurtful, disgusting, and harmful to almost every marginalized community that you can think of. We do not read any of the tweets, as many contain slurs and violent language, but we do discuss recent events surrounding them. CONTENT WARNING for this discussion. At the Women Tell All, it’s very much a rehash of the same drama we’ve been talking about all season. We don't even see Victoria get grilled in the hot seat. We also see deleted footage of several group dates and, of course, bloopers! There is a lot of screen time for the man who should be fired, and just a sweet reminder, #FIRECHRISHARRISON. Our POC highlight of the week goes to Khalyah Epps! She is the 28 year old healthcare advocate, from Durham, North Carolina. We loved to see Khaylah back on our screen, as she had dropped some words of wisdom that the ladies and Bachelor Nation needed to hear! Will she be heading to the sandy BIP beach?

It is hometown date week, and our final four women are: Michelle, Bri, Serena P, and Rachael. Michelle’s hometown gave us all the feels, it included her students and dad (who is our dad now). We saw Rachael fall for Matt … LITERALLY. Bri’s mom is a saint and a BADDIE. We learn about Canadian culture and tasty food things from Serena P, before she sends herself home. Sweet reminder, FIRE CHRIS HARRISON! Our POC highlight of the week goes to Michelle Young, of course! Michelle is the 27 year old, elementary school teacher from Edina, Minnesota.
