Question: Why was the latest season of The Bachelorette US cancelled days before release, costing more than US$30 million? Well, it’s got something to do with stunt casting and a very disturbing video leak… 

Also, millennial feminist icon Lindy West has written a memoir about being in a happily married throuple. The problem is, the Internet has seen her unvarnished honesty and unilaterally decided her book is a lie. Does West protest too much? Or do we have a problem believing a woman could ever be happy beyond the white picket fence?

Plus, nap times, little lunch and a giant TV on wheels. Things we miss from primary school that should definitely be part of the workplace, pls.

And, Chappell Roan and Coldplay kiss-cam star Kristin Cabot have some facts for us about public shaming. 

Oh, and how about those Matildas? The lessons we can only learn from (almost) winning.

Author Lindy West thought she had a 'perfect' marriage. Then her husband asked to open it.

Chappell Roan can take a stand, we apparently just need her to suffer a bit first.
