Summary
It's become more obvious that the incentive of getting screen time on The Bachelor means more to contestants than actually finding true love. So why not raise the age limit to weed out those who are really there for the right reasons? NaughtyGossip.com's executive editor Donny Meacham joins the show and hears Rob share more untold stories from his time working with Jessica Simpson while she was dating John Mayer.

| 0:00.0 | Hello, hello, hello, hello, hello, welcome to the naughty but nice show. |
| 0:18.1 | I'm Rob Shooter, your host. |
| 0:19.8 | I'm a celebrity gossip columnist here in New York, but I have eyes and ears all around the USA, LA, Chicago, Miami, everywhere else, and even some eyes in London. So we get all the juiciest best dish here on the show. And joining me today is one of my favorite people, my friend Donnie Meacham, who's the executive editor |
| 0:39.6 | of my site, NaughtyGossip.com. Hello, Donnie, darling. How are you? Hello, hello, hello. How are you? |
| 0:44.6 | Very well. We love having you joining us now every Tuesday. So what we're trying to do on the show |
| 0:48.7 | is have a different co-host every day. Donnie, you've put your flag on Tuesday, so happy Tuesday to you. Thank you for being here. |
| 0:56.0 | What's that I hear? It's the chimes of Big Ben, which means only one thing. It is tea time. |
| 1:04.0 | Bachelor fans have started a petition to have a minimum age of the show be 27 years old. |
| 1:13.6 | So Donnie, you know I love The Bachelor. |
| 1:15.6 | You do. |
| 1:16.6 | Every season I say it's my last season. |
| 1:18.6 | I can't get any more invested. |

| 1:29.8 | certainly last season, there was no proposal. I want a proposal. I do. And so now, a lot of the |
| 1:36.0 | fans have argued that the problem with the show is people are too young. So I should give credit |
| 1:41.5 | where credits do. Meg Rotter at Cosmo. I love Cosmo magazine. Oh, I do love it. Meg, I don't know you, but I know a ton of people at Cosmo. So if you're listening, Meg, hello, hello. So Meg has suggested a solution to this problem and it's inspired by one of the most weepy contestants in the history of the show. So there's a 22-year-old blogger who's on the show and |
| 2:01.6 | always crying, crying, wow, blah, blah, always upset on the show. And Meg is arguing that she's just too |
| 2:08.0 | young to be on the show. Not only is she emotionally not ready to deal with all this, but also |
| 2:14.1 | at 22 years old, you're not really going on the show to find love, you're going on |
