Summary
Bachelor Production, Can We Steal You for a Second?
ABC has officially renewed 'The Bachelor' for its 23rd season & on this episode, we're chatting about whether it's time for a format change after nearly 15 years on-air. The franchise is still incredibly popular, but our take is that the formula for the #TheBachelor specifically is out of touch. Surrendering the fanatic control over contestants & storylines, evolving the show to become more genuine in our #MeToo & social media dominated culture, televising the casting process, more behind-the-scenes outtakes, removing limo entrances & incorporating a voting system which includes the world's most eligible bachelor/ettes are a few of our suggestions...we'd also love to hear from you! Closing out our discussion @ 39:40 we shift gears into a game of '21 questions', topics include: life's purpose, the downside of instant distraction at our fingertips, things we should know but don't & a whole lot more (part 2 coming soon). Shout-out Kendall Long, we still have love for you! #BoatCaptains #ManDay #CantHoldUs
