It’s Sunday here, which Muzzy says is intended for rotting in bed and/or on the sofa. She knows this job is important though, so she’s willing to trade that in to help me recap this show. She spent Valentine’s Day weekend with her Big Dumb Boyfriend, Fish. We don’t waste any time this week: after a brief montage of the women lounging around the McMansion, we go straight into the group date. Grant and … Continue reading Elyse Watches The Bachelor–S29 E3: Dog Booty →
