Susannah has been a fan of The Bachelor since Ryan wrote his first poem for Trista, and identifies as "a Jillian, but with a little Hannah Beast." She has been an improvisor and actor in the Twin Cities since 2011, and you can catch her performing regularly at HUGE Theater. Susannah's favorite way to watch The Bachelor is with her rescued racing greyhound Leo and just the right balance of romanticism and snark. 

Mackenzie Stodola

Mackenzie Stodola

Guest Host

Mackenzie has been hooked on all things Bachelor since Jason Mesnick flip-flopped and chose Molly after getting engaged to Melissa. (Who does that?!) Ever since, she's been tuning in regularly and will talk endlessly about the show to anyone who will listen. In real life, Mackenzie is full-blown suburban mom living in Woodbury with her super cute husband, dog, and two adorable children who don't even care that the show starts at 7. She is a chiropractor at Woodbury Family Chiropractic and loves being able to help women, men and kids feel their best. Mackenzie loves her husband Chris sooooo much, but is also just a little in love with Ben and Tyler.

Callie Bensel

Callie Bensel

Guest Host

Callie started watching The Bachelor during Juan Pablo’s strange, steamy season and has been hooked ever since. She relates most to past contestant Alexis Waters (the “dolphin”) and Chris Harrison, but only when he's wearing flip flops. Outside of #BachelorNation, Callie is a software developer who loves to problem solve and crack jokes. She enjoys mountain biking and cuddling her three sweet puppies. This season, she is rooting for Tammy, Natasha, and Kelley.

Amanda Jacobson

Amanda Jacobson

Guest Host

Amanda Jacobson is a veteran of the hospitality industry, and as such, has contemplated committing murder many, many times. Among her few talents is a knack for writing, comedy, and performance.
