#857. He Drove Up in a Cupcake and Drove Off with Our Hearts! Kaitlyn is joined by the one and only Chris “Cupcake” Strandburg for a trip down memory lane through her entire season of The Bachelorette. From being the first kiss on night one to reminiscing on group dates in Ireland, Chris shares the wildest behind-the-scenes stories — including how he landed the iconic cupcake-mobile (yes, it involves Burning Man), hilarious moments from the Aladdin group date, and how Kaitlyn rode off into the sunset in two helicopters… while he took a three-hour bus ride back. He spills on Amy Schumer, almost being cast on Andi Dorfman’s season, and even shows up with actual Bachelor memorabilia!! Nostalgic, hilarious, and unexpectedly sweet — this reunion is one for the books.
