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 bachelor at outside of the very long promo he got during her finale, but we're here.

excitement. Given the the lowered expectations I entered with, I was like, you know what,

let's start 2022 with a positive outlook with just a gentle wave of square jaws on my

television screen. Compared to the disappointment of the current COVID wave, the disappointment

of Clayton almost starts to look like something I can be enthusiastic about.
