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

recap podcast about reality dating shows like 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.

I'm not your role, stop your role, love and fire. Can you keep up? I like love.

Welcome to Love to See It, a podcast where we know how to build real intimacy by asking everyone for their favorite color.

Oh my god, I feel so seen. Mine is green, by the way. Are we in love now?

I don't have a favorite color, so love is not for me. It's not in the cards for me.

Today we're getting into Zach Shell Cross's romantic adventures in Budapest and here to break it all down with us is author and deputy lifestyle editor at bustle Hannah Oranstein. Hannah, welcome to the pod.

Hey, thank you so much for having me. We're excited you're here.

We have had you on for a romcom rewatch, but this is your first time breaking down the bachelor with us and we are so excited to have you back.

You're officially a real friend of the pod. I'm excited. This is an episode.

Oh, it sure. It really, it really was. We're in Budapest. Yes. Hungry for hungry. This is dare I say it, the perfect place to fall in love.

It just keeps getting better. Zach is like wandering the city streets telling snack vendors that he'll see you around and then clearly feeling weird about it because like obviously he's never going to see them again, but it's too late. He already said it, which is like super relatable.

And it's just contemplating falling in love in this place, which is the epitome of romance elegance and class.

I mean, who can argue with that? It looks amazing. I've never been to Budapest and I have is it the perfect place to fall in love?

It's lovely. I was 16. So I feel like when you're 16, everywhere is both like the best and worst place to fall in love.

But I did have a really great summer romance. So look, the data is there. There you go. So one for one.

I never had a summer romance at 16. So I probably should have gone to Budapest more. That was my mistake.

So Jesse Palmer sits down with Zach to deliver some news about Greer.

You guys might remember Greer. She got the first impression rose and then she told Zach that getting COVID during the bachelor was like getting COVID when you're about to meet your queue for sales goals.

And he really didn't like that. And then we didn't see her for a week because she was in quarantine.

But she's out of quarantine and she's on her way to Budapest now. And Zach is pleased to hear this.
