Here For the Worst Reasons

What can we say…Matt’s beard says it all. Yes the finale happened, but let’s get to the good part aka After the Final Rose. Chris Harrison is in trouble because Emmanuel gave him a RUN for his money (seriously, can Emmanuel stay one episode isn’t enough). Rachael and Matt share one final embrace (kinda). Plus, we have our new Bachelorettes AND new hosts. Join us as we recap an exhausting season of the Bachelor.

Welcome back as we recap last week’s episode of The Bachelor. Hometowns are here and who wouldn’t want to meet all 4 of your girlfriends’ friends and families? From Michelle’s classroom zoom (who paid these kids to ask if their TEACHER has made out with her new boyfriend) to watching Matt sweat through Canadian trivia (basically ABC’s version of Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader), we cover it all. Soak up the somewhat mundane drama of this week’s episode because next week is Women Tell All, and we have a feeling it won’t be pretty.
