    You forgot to say "and Jesus still loves me."

    You forgot to say "and Jesus still loves me."

    This, folks, is what happens when nobody on The Bachelor has had their Saturn return yet! The VIP of the week is definitely Hannah Ann, both for the most GIF-able reacts and for getting her very own TITANIC moment, now memorialized forever on national television. She may not get that reference though because I doubt she was alive when it came out.

    Gather 'round folks! This ain't the gay yeehaw agenda; it's just the tale of a sweet simple boy from Southern California who couldn't do anything right. 

    Got something you're dying to say or share? Leave me a message - it's the closest we can get to a call-in show!

    Peter's new theme is Twist Away the Gates of Steel by the incomparable Devo. My new theme is Ode to Billy Joe by the great Bobbie Gentry.

    Be the *finasco* you want to see in the world

    The REAL finasco, IMHO, was Peter's swim trunks. UNACCEPTABLE.

    Plus, queer astrology news meets Bachelor Nation news. What could go wrong?

    Here's what I know, and what I don't know, about contestant birthdays so far, plus my odyssey of watching this week's episode live.

    New this season: Leave me a message and I just might play it on the next episode! Think of it like calling into the show, but you know...on a delay.

Music Reader ,

Totally hooked!!

If you had asked me a few months ago about my interest in Astrology or The Bachelor, I would have said “nil,” but the host’s reassuring voice is like a guided meditation through uncharted astral planes! This show provides a thoughtful breakdown of two areas of pop culture that have always eluded me - now I can keep up at the proverbial Water Cooler without having to go through a back-catalog of TV episodes! Hannah is at once self-aware and refreshingly sincere. If this show can convert me, then imagine how delighted you’ll be if you’re already a devotee to Bachelor Nation and Astrology!!

The Bachelor pod I didn’t know I needed

I’m new to the Bachelor-verse, but I’m glad I have the metaphysical anthropologist of Bachelor Nation to show me the way!!

So good

This is a fun, funny, compassionate and interesting look at The Bachelor franchise that enhances the pleasure of viewing the show. Hannah is a gem.
