The problem is they made the opera things seem a little bit gimmicky, you know, like

uh, Jacqueline's pretentious girl, which in fairness I am extremely pretentious.

I will never deny that.

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.

Welcome to Here to Make Friends. We know you came here for a bachelor in paradise recap.

Sorry, this is a Peter Kovinsky and Lara Jean fan podcast now. I mean, we have to follow our

hearts. And our hearts are not with the goose or Colton and Tia or Leo. Our hearts are with

to all the boys I've loved before. It's just a little Netflix rom-com that taught me to believe

in goodness again. To hope. To dream. Okay, okay, we're getting that look from Nick that

lets us know that we do in fact have to recap bachelor in paradise because it is actually our job.

Fine. Fine. So to help us dig a little bit deeper, pass this petty drama we saw on screen.

We're joined by bachelor in paradise shooting star Jacqueline Trumbull. Thanks for joining us.

Brief like a shooting star. But like you see it straight across the sky.

It's gone into the night. Much too quickly for our taste. But we're glad you're here.

Thank you. You know, between all the boys I've loved before and all of this

manifold Michael Cohen news, like I it's like what even happened on bachelor in paradise?

We've been jerked back and forth between something that's much nicer than bachelor in paradise

and something that's even worse than bachelor in paradise. But bachelor in paradise is what we're

here to talk about.
