Bachelor Nation praises contestant for calling out the 'mob mentality' among the women

Yahoo Entertainment

Katie Thurston continued to grow her Bachelor Nation fanbase Monday night, when she called out the women in the house for being toxic and rude.
During Monday's episode of The Bachelor, Katie found herself standing up to the women for another week, this time for being rude to the four new girls who were introduced into the house.
"I get it, we're entitled to our feelings, but at the end of the day, they live with us, and I would hate to be on their side of this. And so the continuous, like, digs, at some point, we gotta kind of get over it and welcome them into the house a little bit," Katie told the women. Katie's empathy and moral compass was not lost on viewers, who doubled down on their wish for Katie to become the next Bachelorette.
Despite attempting to defend the women being bullied, Katie ultimately decided that the environment in the house was just way too toxic, and the best thing to do was to bring in the big gun – Matt.
"I've tried my best to stand up, you know, being the devil's advocate when things are being discussed and it just isn't really working. But Matt, he doesn't know anything about it, and I think he'd be pretty shocked to hear the things that they're saying, and I'm gonna let him know," said Katie.
Katie then took it upon herself to find Matt to tell him, "It would probably be a good time to address some of the bullying that's kind of been happening in the house."
Katie continued, sharing, "It's hard for me to keep trying to stand up for these women when we have this, like, mob mentality. The house just needs to be better. It's just a toxic environment, and there's some pretty bad rumors that are starting about the new girls that literally could ruin their lives."

  • The best restaurant stocks enduring through inflation

    Consumers are becoming increasingly cost-conscious amid inflation persisting through early 2024. Stephens Research Analyst Jim Salera joins Market Domination to discuss which restaurant stocks are best positioned to navigate the challenging environment. Salera finds that at the higher end of the consumer spectrum, spending patterns are "pushing forward" amid inflationary pressures, with little change in consumer behavior. However, for consumers at the lower end of the spectrum, he observes that they are being "much more deliberate" about their spending. For investors evaluating restaurant stocks, Salera emphasizes the importance of identifying "which restaurants are differentiated from the crowd." He highlights names like Chipotle (CMG) and Wingstop (WING), which have demonstrated "very strong traffic trends," as examples of differentiated offerings. With the risk of consumers potentially "trading out" for better value options, Salera stresses that "it's very important [for restaurants] to have a unique value proposition that the consumer can really identify with to retain that traffic."

  • How cannabis stocks can win big with new policy changes

    Cannabis legalization has been an issue on many ballots in the past decade, with several states opening up to recreational use legalization. US Vice President Kamala Harris called on the federal government to move "as quickly as possible" in terms of reclassifying cannabis from its current Schedule I classification. If any efforts are successful in doing so, what would the cannabis market look like and who would stand to benefit the most? Poseidon Co-Founder & Managing Partner Emily Paxhia joins Market Domination to give insight into potential new legislation around cannabis and what investors and consumers alike can expect moving forward. Paxhia outlines the current efforts to change cannabis legislation in the US: "Importantly with cannabis legalization, we have several efforts running down the field. There is the rescheduling efforts, and we are hoping to see something come out of that soon. There's also the continued and loud discussions around banking reform in the legislative branch but we've also introduced a path through the judicial branch working with Boies Schiller Flexner [LLP] to challenge the 2004-2005 case on Raich Vs Gonzales which about the Commerce Clause."She continues by affirming: "Interestingly things that are catalytic that change the volume of capital flowing into the industry are very top down. We hear from investors that are paying attention to these federal reform signals, but what we are also really interested in is the state-to-state catalysts that really actually open up the markets and improve the business fundamentals."
