I think Kelsey A looks like Rebecca Romijn.

I love how every conversation you have about nick ends with 'Nickk..'
Julia Terry
I think you two are the funniest and most real too. I choose your Bachelor podcast first, before any of the others.
Jackie Harris
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.
