While I was watching on my couch last night, I got a mosquito bite on my forehead.

I was in air conditioned, like, central air apartment building.

And I got a mosquito bite on my forehead.

So you're in your place.

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 we're back on the beaches of Sao Lida, Mexico, where the vaginas are not

dancing and the men are all weeping.

Maybe like 30% of this episode was just Colton crying red face.

But to be honest, when I sweat that much, I also cry uncontrollably.

So I really related to that.

Yeah, I mean, I was on board with the male tears.

Four hours of paradise this week means we have so much Colton and Tia to catch up on.

But also there's the goose gang and of course, John Belie, that's Jubilee and John.

There was enough material for at least three separate reality shows in these four hours.

It's too much.

But here to talk it all through with us, one of my favorite people and writers,

an expert in art, where pups, and of course, the Bachelor, our colleague Priscilla Frank.

Hi guys.
