It's Love Fest time! 🎉 Today Shandy is joined by Bachelor Nation's latest power couple, Brayden Bowers and Christina Mandrell! These happen to be two "villains" Shandy never believed were villains in the first place, and it was so fun to finally hang out IRT to hear behind-the-scenes tidbits and learn about their relationship dynamic!

Today Brayden and Christina share their thoughts on true "contentment", how they overcame their early hurdles, and of course, how they fight! We're also treated to an exclusive Brayden-and-Andy freestyle rap and beatbox performance! Finally, a hilariously chaotic Newlyweds Game you do NOT want to miss! Who knows who better? Watch on to find out!
