Hello, welcome back to the Bachelor podcast. I'm Sammy. I'm Jordana. And we are here after

the hometown dates and after the first week of Bachelor Winter Games. Yeah. Can I just

say that the Bachelor has now now has six hours a week of programming? Yeah. Next week

when it's on two nights in a row and then Tuesday for the Winter Games. It is on three

nights on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I don't know what they're doing with that. So it's

so it's like next week. It's not. I don't know. So Bachelor is now on for more than half

of the week. Yeah. Pretty much. It's like absurd. That is like crazy. That is like living

in a totalitarian Bachelor state. It's too much Bachelor for me. I have to say it's too much.

I can't take it. Yeah. It's crazy. I mean, okay. I just read Bachelor Nation, which is an amazing

expose about behind the scenes of the Bachelor, which is coming out I think March 6th. And it is like

an Amy, the writer is going to be on the Bachelor. Yeah. So you guys should really look forward to it

as so much juicy info. And it's just like really insane. They create, they managed to create this

like alternate world within the regular world. And it's just like this crazy place. And now we're

all living in it. And even have a podcast devoted to it. It's almost like a controlled like experiment.

Really. Right. That you can manipulate all the subjects. It's kind of fucked up. Right. And all the

people who are watching it. How like so I watch Bachelor winter games. I didn't really love it.

Because like I don't I don't know. I didn't like the people on it. I also feel like there's

something like there's something more enjoyable about there's like too many of them maybe. And like

I prefer the format of Bachelor and Paradise where they're like, just on spring break basically.

Basically and like you have everyone has to give well they have that they have that in the second

one where you have to give a roast to someone to have them stay. But the first episode they made

everyone like boat off the least desirable character. Which I thought was like kind of fucked up.
