I'm Claire Fallon and I'm Emma Gray and this is Love to See It, an obsessively detailed

recap podcast about the bachelor and other pop culture that makes us laugh, cry, and curse

the patriarchy. We can't live with these shows and we can't live without them, but we

can break down every juicy moment and unpack all the weird messages these shows send us

about love, sex, and dating.

Hello, hello and welcome to Love to See It with Emma and Claire. Today we're going to

do something a little different from what we found in the past.

A little experiment if you will. We're doing a mail bag episode today and I am so excited.

Listen to our questions. I'm so excited. I was really nervous to be perfectly transparent

about doing this because to me this is like asking someone out. It's like I ask people

to send me questions and like what if they don't send me questions, I would feel so rejected.

And so thank you to everyone who sent questions. So let's start with a question that I appreciated

really for its phrasing, but also for what it prompted me to think about. This is from

Liz Waiter. My question for you is imagine a world in which you're both single and have

to be on the bachelor. This is a Hunger Games style post-apocalyptic universe and you've

been volunteered as tributes. What would be your individual strategies? I appreciate

this because I obviously would never go on willingly. I think that it's clear that neither

of us would put ourselves in this position willingly. So there has to be some, we can't

just say like, oh, I would never go on the show. No, we have to think of some strategies.

We've been conscripted. Yeah. We're going on. And imagine that this is the Hunger Games.

We can't just be like, oh, at least I'll try to get sent home early. No, I don't want

to get an arrow in the throat. I need to try to win the bachelor. What's my strategy?
