Bachelor Nation, It’s been a year of change unlike anything we’ve seen before. And yet, the more things change, the more things stay the same. After a much needed break from a frankly exhausting season (in which its lead deserved so much more from production), I’ve decided to give this…

Bachelor Nation, The first ever quaran-season has finally drawn to a close. And dare I say it, after the slog that was the middle few episodes of Tayshia’s reign, this two-night finale was one of the most personally satisfying and tear-jerking in the show’s history. Could it be recency bias…

Bachelor Nation, Welcome to Whose Blog Is It Anyway?, the place where everything’s made up and the points don’t matter. That’s right; the points are just like taking a few weeks off because you needed it and also the show was annoying so there was some benefit to this mini-sabbatical…

Bachelor Nation, I’ll be honest with you — I nearly forgot this episode was on tonight. It’s one of those weeks where every day feels like the day it’s not, and I think yesterday felt like a Wednesday. This whole Bachelorette Tuesday is really throwing off my groove. I have…

And yet, every Tuesday, I feel myself emotionally drained from simply existing in this *gestures widely* world and unable to take on someone else’s emotional journey to find love. Especially Clare’s because hers is…high maintenance. Also my…

Bachelor Nation, This franchise is, by nature, an absolutely cringeworthy massacre of gargantuan proportions. We all know this. And yet, somehow, last night’s episode might have been the most physically uncomfortable I’ve ever been and I watched the entire Jake and Vienna breakup special. Once again, I’m forced to retract…

Bachelor Nation, We may not be in the Bachelor mansion. We might not even be in Agoura Hills. But this felt as close to a classic Bachelorette premiere as we could afford, and I, for one, welcome this manufactured chaos back into my life. Whatever shape it takes, it’s good…
