It's Love Fest time! ? Today is our second ever in-person Love Fest and an absolutely epic one! You watched them meet and get engaged on Paradise S7, and now 2 years later, Bachelor Power Couple® Joe Amabile and Serena Pitt join us in the living room to dissect the ins and outs of their relationship.Today Joe and Serena share their honest first impressions of each other—in Serena's eyes, was Joe in fact the "George Clooney" of Bachelor Nation we described him to be? They get specific with adjectives about each other (yay!), discuss how and when the 11 year age difference rears its head, unpack the early hurdle that took time to overcome, and of course, describe how they fight! This episode is loaded with goodies including Serena and Sharleen's biggest City Hall regret and the surprising ways in which the native Chicagoan and native New Yorker are similar. Finally, a Newlyweds Game that is heavy on "OR"s but not remotely lacking on fun! Who knows who better?
