For a show called The Bachelorette, the men are wielding too much power this season

When will Katie Thurston get to make a decision on her won? "For the second time this season, the men in the Bachelorette house have decided by consensus that one of their own must be put out to pasture," says Shannon Melero. "This week’s victim is Thomas—or, as he’s been dubbed by the Bachelor Nation Twittersphere, Thom-mess. While it truly does not matter who goes home at this point because Katie doesn’t seem to be attracted to any of her options, the men are wielding a little too much power for a show called The Bachelorette, not The Bachelorette’s Suitors." Melero adds: "Unfortunately, most of her decisions have been made by the men in the house, with Katie claiming she simply wants to respect them and respect the process they’re going through. Katie’s girl power speech as she sent Thomas packing was very cute, but not enough to take away from the fact Katie has lost control of the house and isn’t calling the shots."
