Welcome to Here to Make Friends, a half-post podcast about the Bachelor franchise,

where we lovingly snark on the Bachelor and Bachelor adjacent shows.

Whether you love the Bachelor or love to hate it, we're here to break down every single

delicious moment with you.

I'm Emma Gray.

And I'm Claire Fallon.

So, another summer, come and gone, another season in Paradise.

And what do we have to show for it?

Kind of a lot, actually.

That's true.

I guess we do have three engagements.

Nick is the new Bachelor.

We've been given many great opportunities to talk about the dynamics of potentially abusive

relationships, as they apparently play out on a very public show.

Chad tried to dox me on Twitter.

The usual spells of a successful season in Paradise.

And we're here to talk about absolutely all of it, especially, of course, the big finale,

with Miz Izzy Goodkind.

Thanks so much for joining us, Izzy.
