Kaitlyn Bristowe: Chris Harrison ‘ghosted’ me over ‘Bachelorette’ hosting gig

Kaitlyn Bristowe’s friendship with Chris Harrison “went down the toilet” after she was hired to host “The Bachelorette.” During Tuesday’s episode of the “Not Skinny But Not Fat” podcast, the former reality star claimed Harrison “ghosted” her after news broke that she and Tayshia Adams were going to co-host Season 17 of the hit ABC series. She explained that, at first, she had signed on under the…

Thank you for talking abiut the race aspect of the bachelor, someone recently pointed out to me how you can always tell if a bachelorette isn't white because all the male contestants are unconventionally attractive or just straight up not good looking. For the white bachelorettes, they will get standard good-looking men, but with the women of colour, it's always goofy looking dudes! What a weird franchise, honestly.

I watched Rachel's season and didn't notice anything too off. In fact, I thought her runner up was super attractive. But tbh most of the men that go on the show are ugly to me lmaoo. There's only been a few I've thought were legit attractive (Rachel's runner up, Tyler c, and Mike from Hannah's season are the ones I can think of off the top of my head. I'm still pissed we didn't get Mike as bachelor). Tayshia got Claire's leftovers, so that doesn't count, and I unfortunately stopped watching by the time Chastity and Jenn were bachelorettes (I attempted to give joeys season a try bc my friend wouldn't stop harassing me to watch, but gave up halfway through).

My friend who watches did mention that Jenn's guys were either particularly shitty or ugly, but I can't attest to that. She seemed to think it was because all the hot people are jumping ship to newer, trendier reality shows, but who knows the real reason. I guess it all depends on who applies. And from what I heard, the shitty guy that won Jenn's season signed up when he thought it was going to be maria (a white girl), who ended up not doing it and making Jenn the first Asian bachelorette (the first Asian lead at all)

Will the Bachelor Franchise Give Asians Their Flowers?

I was a latecomer to The Bachelor franchise. It was the first year of COVID,  we’d gotten past the lockdown stage but it meant that new scripted content had dried up. So naturally, my husband and I turned to the backlog of Bachelor episodes on streaming services to keep the drama alive and well. That’s how it works, right? Either way, we were hooked and took enjoyment in watching every bloated episode of “starting to fall in love”-isms. 

I think part of our viewing enjoyment was being detached from the real time drama that unfolds between each week of an episode’s release. We could speculate in our own little bubble how serious Greg was about Katie or if Becca regretted not choosing Blake. Reality dating shows have long struggled with addressing social media. Should they focus on what was presented during the show or touch on the narrative created outside of the show on social media? It’s a tricky balancing act. Just ask Vanessa Lachey after the season 4 reunion of Love is Blind. The Bachelor franchise, which includes The Bachelorette; Bachelor in Paradise; The Golden Bachelor; and soon to be The Golden Bachelorette iteration to air this fall, is no exception to this. In fact, The Bachelor franchise first piqued my interest when Season 13 Bachelorette Rachel Lindsay published her article on being the first black person to lead the franchise and the challenges and failed expectations that came with that. This coincided with the surfacing of photos of Season 25 Bachelor contestant Rachel Kirkconnell attending an Antebellum-themed party. At that time, The Bachelor was airing Season 25 with Matt James, their first black man to lead the franchise. I followed these headlines loosely as it made the pop culture news rounds but I still brushed off the show, thinking that it was something not worth investing in, as ultimately, this was a dating show by white people, made for white people. 

Cut to March 2024, and I have now become well versed in the Bachelor universe, having now watched 8 Bachelor seasons and 10 Bachelorette seasons. I have my favorite contestants (Gabby Windey), favorite seasons (Tayshia Adams’s half of The Bachelorette), and honestly look forward to whenever Jesse Palmer pops up to do some hosting. I had found my trashy T.V. , my guilty pleasure, the thing I can turn on to turn off my brain. It was supposed to just be something I could watch and that’s it. But to be a part of Bachelor Nation is more than that. 

Bachelor Nation is known to dig. No matter how beloved or trivial a contestant, they will find something that could move the dial in a devastating way. Some of it hilarious, like Season 28 Bachelor contestant, Daisy Kent, being a part of a music video, featuring the poetic lyrics of “I think I’m better and I don’t give a f*ck now / So you can lick on my sack suck my nuts now / That ain’t no fossil, oh bitch this a bust down / I feel alright ain’t dark like the sundown”. While some are worth discussing like Season 19 Bachelorette contestant Erich Schwer dressing up as Jimi Hendrix in blackface for a Halloween party; which the show ultimately ignored during their finale because Schwer ended up being Gabby Windey’s choice and the show needed their happy ending since co-Bachelorette lead Rachel Recchia’s choice ended up cheating before they could even air the finale. While not ultimately a part of the show, I do view it as supplemental material that either enhances or informs my viewing. Bachelor Nation has done my research for me so that I don’t have to. But there’s only so much I can consume. I’m not one to engage in the comments, whether it’s reading them or writing them. Whatever Bachelor Nation has found, I get nice little summaries of it from my favorite recaps such as The Ringer’s podcast Bachelor Party and YouTube channel Bachelor Fantake. 

The latest season to air this year, Season 28 of The Bachelor starring Joey Graziadei seemed to reignite Bachelor Nation’s love for their leads. Off the heels of the very successful debut of The Golden Bachelor, despite the fallout of Gerry Turner post the show’s airing, Bachelor producers capitalized on the moment and it seemed that everyone fell in love with Graziadei. Heck, I did too! I mean the emotional intelligence and the way he looks at you! With all eyes on the bachelor, it meant that close attention was also paid to the Bachelor contestants. Nothing too disparaging was found, with the exception of the already mentioned Kent music video, but that’s more unfortunately hilarious than damning. Instead, the discourse came well into the season, when fan favorite, Maria Georgas asked Graziadei for a moment to speak to him privately just as the final 3 rose ceremony was about to begin, and when Goergas came back to join the rest of the women, fellow contestant Rachel Nance asked, “What was that about?”. Out of context, this seems like a simple enough question, and even watching the moment play out, there was nothing to clock. In fact, what I found to be slightly irritating was Georgas’s response to Nance, “I’ll tell you one day.” But Bachelor Nation perceived this differently. Immediately attacking Nance, not necessarily for what she did (ask a question), but for who she was (half Black/half Filipino). I don’t gotta say it but this is where I mention that Goergas is a white woman. Call me biased but Nance was my favorite contestant on Season 28 of The Bachelor.  Sure, partly because she’s Filipino, but she also seemed like a really cool, chill, no fuss kind of gal. As down to earth as a person can be considering they decided to be on a reality T.V. show. The kind of woman I want to be. When she made it all the way to hometowns, I was fist pumping over her teaching Graziadei how to greet her parents with mano po and her saying she likes the fattier parts of the lechon. This was exposure to a culture for a viewership that is predominately white. I was thrilled! So it saddened me when the Women Tell All aired with a segment where host Jesse Palmer discusses the racist comments fired at Nance over social media. Hearing her repeat what had been slurred at her reinforced to me that Bachelor Nation still isn’t accepting of a black lead and is not ready for an Asian lead. This show that I love to indulge in, will continue to be ruled by whiteness.

So to my surprise, and most likely disappointment of Bachelor Nation, Jesse Palmer announced the next lead of The Bachelorette, Vietnamese-American Season 28 Bachelor contestant Jenn Tran as the franchise’s first ever Asian-American lead. It’s been made public that Tran was not the first pick (Maria Georgas), nor was she even the second (Daisy Kent). This is also reinforced by the casting of Tran’s men, predominantly virtually white men with just one Asian man. While Tran does not have to date a fellow Asian, it shows how little Bachelor producers have thought this through. Pre-casting under the assumption that surely one of the 2 fan favorites from the top 3 will say, “yes” but then having to pivot to a contestant who placed fifth and focusing on the historic casting of it all to try and gain brownie points worries me.

I must admit, I was also skeptical of Tran’s casting and I felt guilty over that. Shouldn’t I have been thrilled that there was meaningful representation for a show that caters to whiteness? But I was placing unrealistic expectations on Tran that I wouldn’t have any other lead. Watching her Bachelorette announcement segment started out on a high that quickly deflated as Tran failed to meet what my expectations were for Asian representation. In a quick effort to make Jenn relatable, producers went with the “Fun Jenn” angle where she’s just a gal who wants to have a good time and will ask for shots to get the party started. To me, it came off as someone not ready to take on the responsibility of being the first Asian-American to lead this franchise. It’s always tough to be the first in something where barriers need to be broken. You need to be so many things for a marginalized group of people that contains a multitude of perspectives and values. By already dismissing Tran as not my type of Asian, I missed sight on what she was trying to achieve and move forward for the Asian American community. I projected my own baggage of having to prove myself in white spaces. She doesn’t have to be all the things, she just has to be herself, which looking back at that announcement segment, she already was doing. That in of itself is progress. We can also let loose, have a good time, and also still bear the weight and responsibility of what it means to be an Asian-American, a child of immigrant parents, a woman of color, and more all at the same time.

Tran has mentioned in interviews, “I just never saw herself as a main character.” A sentiment that I connect to deeply. Growing up in the 90’s, there wasn’t much Asian representation in the television or movies I watched. And now, as an adult, trying to carve my spot in acting, I’m constantly trying to prove to casting that I’m worth it. That I can be that person you cast as your lead because my voice is worth hearing.

Tran will now do the same as The Bachelorette premieres tonight. Like the many Bachelorette leads before her, her journey of love begins as she meets the men and hands out roses until the final rose that leads to engagement. She’s going to do it her way and America will watch every week, captivated by the choices she’ll make.

Bring on the Jenn-ergy. 🌹

new year, new ✨alleged✨ bachelor nation mess 🫢 a few months ago, rumors circulated via deuxmoi that two very unexpected people with opposite careers were dating. and now, Kaitlyn allegedly rang in the new year with Zac Clark, Tayshia’s ex.

quick reminder that KB and Tayshia cohosted the bachelorette together for two seasons while Tayshia was with Zac and Kaitlyn was still with Jason…which makes this potential pairing even messier 😬 thoughts?

Bachelor In Paradise: The Downfall Of Brendan and Pieper

SEPTEMBER 16, 2021 14:41:14 BY ANASTASIA

So the talk of the town in Bachelor Nation surrounds Bachelor In Paradise contestants, Brendan Morais and Pieper James, who thought they could crack the Bachelor code and were caught red-handed. After they were exposed for their plan, Brendan lost at least 86,000 followers, and Pieper lost 9,000 (talk about a plan backfiring).

This season of Bachelor In Paradise was long-awaited because last year’s season was cancelled due to the pandemic. But a season right after a pandemic brought some complexities to the show that we’ve never seen before. Since a summer season was skipped, franchise favourites were meeting up for parties, hangouts, and flirty trips that have resulted in the show feeling less authentic than other years. The Love Island-esque extension of the franchise puts together men and women from various seasons of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette trying to find love on a beach in Mexico. The men and women alternate for the power at the rose ceremonies each week, where they couple up with whoever they’re vibing with. Anyone without a rose gets sent home. And of course they send more contestants to the beach to shake things up, because this is reality TV and we need drama and heartbreak. So watching the contestants come down to the beach and pretend like they didn’t know each other was super annoying for me and any other fans who follow them on Instagram. But these contestants depend on Bachelor In Paradisefor a follower bump, and since the season was cancelled last year, they made their own unofficial Paradise. 

Brendan, who was on Tayshia Adams’ season, was one of the original cast members on the beach in the first episode, and when I saw him, I was a little confused because there were reports that he was with Pieper, from Matt James’ season, outside of the show. I quickly brushed it off because of course he wouldn’t show up on the island with a girlfriend. He was a fan favourite when he was on The Bachelorette, and was my ideal winner for Tayshia, so there’s no way he could ever do something like that on the beach, right? (SO wrong). He ended up getting cozy with Natasha Parker, who was on Peter Weber’s Bachelor season. While Natasha was expressing her feelings for him, he was being super reserved. Despite him acting really sus, he still reciprocated feelings for Natasha with words, and they exchanged roses every week…until Pieper came along. As soon as she came down to the Island, she asked Brendan to the date right away without speaking to any other guys, and that was that, they were together. 

The most frustrating part about all of this is how smug they were about it. They know that the drama of it all would make their names huge on social media, and we even see Pieper saying she doesn’t care that people may see right through their little plan because “she’s not stupid” when it pertains to gaining followers on the beach. Brendan didn’t care that he used Natasha until Pieper showed up, because he figured that even if he was a villain, he would still get engagement on his accounts. 

I am confident that if it wasn’t for the producers’ hand in this, it might not have resulted in the way that this all has. Like I’m sure Brendan and Pieper thought, there have been plenty of moments on this show that created villains, but it never resulted in this much of a loss of followers. There are also recent moments where social media got in the mix with no repercussion from the show, or Instagram followers. Former Bachelorette, Clare Crawley, ended her season early because she knew she wanted to pick Dale Moss after the first night, but what was shady about that was how she had already known of him before filming through Instagram because of the abrupt filming delay due to the pandemic. Although fans weren’t so happy about that, the show celebrated her decision to follow her heart. It’s been over a year now, and Clare and Dale are living it up together (with no loss of Instagram followers). https://77b0ce55a363e6f5b2acec44ddf07dee.safeframe.googlesyndication.com/safeframe/1-0-40/html/container.html?n=0

The thing about producers is that they know everything. Of course they knew that Brendan and Pieper were dating, which is why they put space between their appearances on the island. So the only difference between this moment of villain behaviour versus others is that Brendan and Pieper tried to play the show’s format for their own gain. The show thrives on true relationships formed in front of the cameras, not behind them. The show doesn’t want to follow along blindly because they don’t want other people to think they can get away with it, because the show would completely crumble if people were to see this work.

Another bad move by Brendan was picking Natasha as the one he would use to coast through. Natasha is a co-host of Clickbaitwhich is an official Bachelor Nation podcast. The show is going to want to protect Natasha at all costs because she recaps the show on the podcast, and if she isn’t happy with how things are portrayed, that could mean she takes a stand against the show by stopping the recording of the podcast. But all of that business stuff aside, Natasha is also a person, and she should not have been disrespected the way she was. Not only did Brendan blatantly use her to get through the show, but he also repeatedly said that he doesn’t understand why she’d be so upset because no one else would be interested in her on the island in the first place. It is difficult to see a dark-skinned Black woman on the island told that, especially because the show has had a past of portraying Black women as undesirable through micro-aggressions and editing. Colourism is a huge issue in the world of dating, and it has been put under a magnifying glass because of the show as well. Thankfully, the Bachelor franchise has shown that they are making strides towards being better, and everyone rallied around Natasha and supported her through this. 

When Brendan and Pieper were confronted by contestants of the show, which led to them leaving the island together, Natasha was given a rose by the show to give her a second chance at love because it was taken away from her. As much as I’d like to believe that this was solely because they wanted to support her through this hurtful time, it’s definitely also a statement to any future contestants not to mess with the process, because you will be caught. 

The support is rampant on social media as well, because Natasha has gained over 200,000 followers since the blowout. Brendan and Pieper have also released statements connected to the matter, and it turns out that they aren’t even an official couple right now. Is this the reset that the show needed to restore its integrity? The show is losing whatever shred of authenticity it had because everyone is able to slide into DMs, or meet up for the sake of boosting engagement, but with that comes the lack of care for actual...engagements. Brendan was a fan-favourite, cherished by the whole nation, so if the producers are willing to throw that under the bus to prove a point, that shows that they are not happy with it. 

Now, he is most likely facing monetary consequences from this, because followers are money, and I don’t think there’s any way to gain those followers back any time soon. Hopefully this debacle will demonstrate to people that when the show becomes involved, the consequences can be serious. Most importantly, I hope the show makes it a habit to protect people who are walked over, because as much drama as it was to see the situation play out, it was even more drama to see the bad guy actually taken down.

🌹 Ex-'Bachelor' Stars: Epic Transformations & Current Lives Revealed!

Roses and Reality Woes: A Bachelor's Bouquet of Drama 🌹 You know, it's funny how some things stand the test of time, like that ancient gum stuck under your shoe or your grandma's questionable meatloaf recipe. But let's talk about roses, shall we? Those delicate blooms that, quite frankly, have a better chance at surviving a horde of ravenous rabbits than some folks do on The Bachelor. Ah, The Bachelor, the show that hit our screens like a glitter bomb back in 2002. Remember Alex Michel, the guy crowned the world's most eligible Bachelor? Well, more than 20 women flocked to him like moths to a reality TV flame. And just like that, the reality TV gods cracked open a fortune cookie that said, "Prepare for drama!" Fast forward a year, and voila! The Bachelorette strutted onto the scene, proving that even the universe can't resist a good spin-off. Now, if you're doing the math, you'll realize that 47 brave souls have stepped into the Bachelor/Bachelorette spotlight since the dawn of time, or at least since the dawn of Neil Lane engagement rings. Brad Womack, bless his indecisive heart, had two rounds in the hot seat. Talk about getting more chances than a contestant at an all-you-can-eat buffet! But hold onto your rose petals, folks, because the year 2020 rolled in like a rogue wave and delivered the twist of all twists. Tayshia Adams swooped in to save the day—or at least the season—when Clare Crawley found herself head over heels for a contestant faster than you can say "Reality TV therapists needed." Yes, siree, less than two weeks into the official engagement ring hunt, Clare and her beau-to-be were outtie like a bunch of teens ditching a calculus test. Tayshia stepped up like a champ, juggling suitors like a circus performer with a knack for handing out roses instead of juggling pins. Tayshia accepted Zac Clark's proposal in the end, but surprise, surprise, their love train took a detour to Splitsville in November 2021. And remember Clare and her instant love connection, Dale Moss? Well, their journey was like a roller coaster that got stuck upside down—briefly split in January 2021, then finally crashed and burned in September. Oops, looks like that Neil Lane magic isn't as potent as we thought. Now, in a world where reality TV twists are as common as avocado toast on Instagram, you might wonder if there's any hope for our Bachelor and Bachelorette heroes. Well, my friends, buckle up as we take a wild ride through the treacherous terrain of fame, love, and rose petals. It's like the real-life version of trying to find a needle in a haystack made entirely of shredded Bachelor application forms. And so, dear readers, whether you're a devoted fan or just someone who can't resist a good ol' mess of reality drama, grab your popcorn and get ready for a tale of love, loss, and the eternal quest for that Neil Lane fairy tale. 🍿🌹# Roses and Reality Woes: A Bachelor's Bouquet of Drama 🌹 You know, it's funny how some things stand the test of time, like that ancient gum stuck under your shoe or your grandma's questionable meatloaf recipe.
