5 stars but..

I really like this pod but I’ll have to skip the Emily Maynard eps. I can’t stand all the fawning over a MAGA Trump supporter.

New Favorite

Found via Love to See It, and now I’m obsessed. I started with Jake’s season bc I watched it with my best friend in college. Affirmed all of our feelings then, and makes my love for the bachelor make sense.

A+ Bachelor content

I found this show after Carrie and Annemarie appeared on Love to See It, and I’m so glad! I love the smart and silly take on classic Bachelor seasons as well as the conversations about what this very unserious reality show can tell us about the cultural moment is reflects.
