‘Bachelorette’ S21e10 Finale: There Are No Good Parts

Well, that was a trainwreck. Jenn’s Bachelorette journey has come to an end and it was not the happy ending we were all hoping for. Not only was she mistreated by the men, but the show itself made the wrong choice at every opportunity. Let’s just hope Dancing With The Stars treats her better!

I think you two are the funniest and most real too. I choose your Bachelor podcast first, before any of the others.

Obsessed with this show!! I love watching reality TV through a race informed, critical viewpoint. This show delves into the sociological implications of the Bachelor franchise and it's fascinating. Been listening for four years and won't stop anytime soon!

Taking yourselves way too seriously! I totally agree about the need for diversity etc but holy cow. Say what needs to be said then MOVE ON. When I want that kind of commentary I'll go to places like NPR. I come to The Bachelor for brainless fun.
