Welcome back to another season of America’s notion of a “romantic” reality show, The Bachelor. This season, for reasons that can only be explained by “2016,” we will be following the amorous exploits of perennial Bachelorette loser, Nick Viall.
So Chicago native Nick Viall, this jackhat, is back for a third — fourth if you count Bachelor in Paradise — stab at reality show love as the titular Bachelor beginning on January 2nd. ABC just released photos and bios of the thirty – 30!!! – women who actually want date, maybe even marry, this mumble box for reasons that are absolutely baffling to me.
The most interesting thing about the contestants is that despite their mutual love for dolphins, Olivia Pope and The Little Mermaid, this is without question the most diverse cast in the history of this show. I don’t want to get myself into trouble because it’s difficult to tell from a still photo and race is a social construct and yadda yadda yadda, but it appears that around a third of these women are people of color. Who cares about who wins The Bachelor this season; the bigger question is is there a chance we will have our first black Bachelorette next summer? Maybe! Fingers crossed!

Before we get started on this recap that felt like it took me 96 hours to write, because maybe it did, I passed out somewhere in the middle and I can’t be entirely sure, we have to address the big news out of infuriatingly-so-called “Bachelor Nation” this week: Nick Viall is going to be the Bachelor for next season: The Bachelor: Some Folks Never Learn.

Last we left him, Boner had been unceremoniously dumped by Carly. Driven to insanity desperation, he drafted a fake date card for himself and Token Single Mom, who up to this point had been attached to Josh by the tonsils following their date. This is not a plan! This is madness! Continue reading “‘Bachelor in Paradise’: Please do not take romantic advice from murder parrots.”

Bachelor in Paradise ended its first episode with a big cliffhanger: would “Hurricane Chad” just take his lunch meats and go, or would he attack the robe-wearing, mimosa-drinking Chris Harrison on his way out? DRAMA!
