Katie Thurston’s first night meeting her potential future husbands was genuinely insane: There was a cat suit (not to be confused with a catsuit, which would have also been mortifying), a two-time Bachelorette reject, a man in a box (seriously), heated arguments, a fake British accent, a sex doll, a kiss in the rain—all stuff that makes for great drama, if not necessarily true love. Somewhat ironically, one of Thurston’s key quotes from her toast to her contestants urged the gentlemen to be authentic, despite the costumes and gimmicks most of them used to woo her. “I appreciate every one of you who took time out of your lives to be here,” she told her beaus. “All I ask is that you be yourself, because that’s the only way this is going to work.” These Bachelorette memes from last night’s premiere pretty much nail all of our feelings on Thurston’s future. Good luck, girl!
