Summary

It’s been two weeks since our last episode And we can’t believe how much has happened since then. Like… the whole Bachelorette season might be different?

But before we get to that, we need to take a trip down memory lane to 2010. Obama was still president, none of us were yet addicted to Instagram, and the word “influencer” had barely entered the lexicon. And former Facebook employee Ali Fedotowsky was wearing many layered tank tops on her televised journey to find love.

Our calls to action this week:
Liberty Hill COVID-19 Rapid Response Fund for Community Organizing:

“This emergency fund is designed to support immediate community organizing needs on the frontlines and fuel emergency advocacy efforts in Los Angeles County to protect the most vulnerable (Black, Brown, Asian, Indigenous and queer communities) during this time of unimaginable upheaval due to the COVID-19 crisis.”

Native Americans in Philanthropy COVID-19 emergency response fund

The COVID-19 Emergency Response Fund is designed to distribute funds efficiently and swiftly to Native nonprofit organizations and tribal programs that need it most. Initially, funds are being prioritized in high-concentration areas – California, New Mexico, the Pacific Northwest, New York, Navajo Nation, Hopi Tribe and COVID-19 hotspots.

Know Your Rights Camp COVID-19 relief fund

The fund helps black and brown communities, which are disproportionately affected by Covid-19 by focusing on food, shelter relief, education, PPE equipment and incarcerated populations.

0:00.0	I'm convinced that this is happening because I was really annoyed by the possibility of
0:06.6	having to hear Claire referred to a lot this season and not in reference to me. I was like
0:12.3	I'm constantly going to be like, huh, what? Oh, you're not talking to me. Because I'm not
0:18.0	powerful is what I'm saying. Yeah, I believe it. Welcome to Here to Make Friends, a half-post
0:26.4	podcast about the Bachelor franchise where we lovingly snark on the Bachelor and Bachelor
0:31.3	adjacent shows. Whether you love the Bachelor or love to hate it, we're here to break down every
0:36.7	single delicious moment with you. I'm Emma Gray and I'm Claire Fallon.
0:44.3	So Claire, it's been a minute and I cannot believe how much has happened in the franchise
0:49.8	since we last spoke. I know. I, you know, I look away for one weekend and everything happens. Like
0:56.9	the whole Bachelor at season might be different, like a completely different Bachelor at than we
1:04.2	expected. But before we get to that, we need to talk about last night and take a little trip down
1:10.8	memory lane to 2010. Remember that year Obama was still the president. None of us were yet
1:18.2	addicted to Instagram. And the word influencer had like barely entered the lexicon. I didn't even
1:24.9	have a Twitter account yet. I was graduating from college. Like I barely remember this time.
1:30.8	But most importantly, in 2010, former Facebook employee Ali Fetitowski was
1:36.0	wearing many, many layered tank tops on her televised journey to find love.
1:42.0	So today's episode is going to be a little different than the ones that we've done the rest of
1:46.4	the season. It'll just be the two of us recording during a thunderstorm potential hurricane that
1:51.8	will, you know, hopefully not cut off our power. So bear with us. Yeah. And we did try to book a
1:58.4	guest from Ali season to talk about the racial dynamics of a season that was really white even
2:04.7	by bachelor standards. Ali has spoken about this in interviews before that there weren't any black
2:10.7	contestants on her season. We did reach out to Ali. And we reached out to Roberto who was one of
