Katie Thurston, star of this season's "The Bachelorette," took to Twitter Spaces on Monday to speak about her journey so far this season.

Responding to one fan's question about her favorite date, Thurston -- who was also joined by season 17 mentors Tayshia Adams and Kaitlyn Bristowe -- revealed it was the very first group date, in which the men participated in a contest to determine who was "the greatest lover of all time."

"There were so many guys there on the date, there wasn't really drama yet, it was so fun and entertaining," the 30-year-old explained. "I feel like that date needs a part two...there was so much people didn't get to see."

The dates Thurston said she is really excited about are the hometowns.

She said her favorite kiss occurs in next week's episode -- though, we got a brief tease in the promos for next Monday's show.

"There's a very steamy makeout in some aggressive rain and I will say that was probably one of the greatest kisses ever because it was such a, like, fantasy being lived out to have this romantic theme play out," she confesses. "I can't wait to actually see it play out!"

Andrew S. and Justin were the two suitors who made her laugh the most, notes Thurston. "They are hilarious. Once we start giggling, people get mad, like you guys need to get it together!"
