Hello, everyone. I'm so glad ABC decided to squeeze out another spinoff from the Bachelor franchise. Otherwise, we wouldn't have any reason to watch Total Strangers hand out roses with a hope that their journey would end in a contractually obligated love agreement. Seriously, people, Bachelor Summer Games is canceled. Bachelor in Paradise is a huge question mark,

and who knows what's happening with Claire Crawley season.

Kudos to the showrunners who were forward-thinking enough

to anticipate that the viewing audience needed a place

for all the budding musical artists of the world to congregate.

It's just a happy coincidence that it was slated to air in a time when

tigers are king and love is blind. Join me as some guy in Austin and I try to figure out

what is going on on the smash hit TV show. Listen to your heart. Hey everyone, I'm Lindsay and welcome to the I Hate Green Beans podcast.

During each episode, I'll be discussing television, movies, music, and books with friends

who love pop culture as much as I do.

For those of you wondering, yes, we will be talking about the Bachelor franchise, and no,

I do not want to try your grandmother's

famous green bean cassero recipe.

But thanks for offering.

Now sit back, relax, and enjoy the show.

It's episode 164 of the I Hate Green Beans podcast.

I'm your host, Lindsay Ray.

I am here with Some Guy in Austin, and we are going to

discuss the new ABC Bachelor franchise spinoff. Listen to your heart. Cue the music. That's when

you're supposed to sing. Listen, you know what struck me? I mean, very first thing that hit me when the show came on last night is they didn't

even like ABC didn't even license the music, the song, listen to your heart.

How do you know?
