Welcome back to another episode of our podcast all about the ABC reality series The Bachelor and its many spin-offs.
ThePopBreak.com’s Michelle Coraci, who has been recapping all things Bachelor for The Pop Break for years, and co-host DJ Chapman, of Mostly Nitpicking, are back talking about Season 29 of The Bachelorette!
This week, Michelle and DJ cover (another) underwhelming episode of the Bachelor. They discuss why the lack of a clear villain is making the show feel a bit empty, and what can be done to help this season. They discuss the news that there may be NO BACHELORETTE this year, and what that means for the franchise. They wrap up with Traitors and Ru Paul’s Drag Race.
If you have thoughts or suggestions for what you’d like Michelle and DJ to cover during the offseason or opinion about all things Bachelor & Bachelorette, be sure to reach out via twitter @Roses&Rejections!
ABC’s Official Plot Summary The Bachelor Season 29 Episode 3:
Grant’s journey to find love continues as the women put their “girl math” skills and affinity for animals to the test. Meanwhile, one woman jets off to Sin City with Grant; and later, the ladies are surprised with a prom night to remember.
