It's the Game of Roses. Welcome to the Game of Roses. This is the Game of Roses. Welcome to the Game of Roses.

Before we get to Tino, for all the people tuning into Listen to Tino, I have a book that came out last week. It is a USA Today bestseller.

Welcome to Game of Roses. This is Pays Case. This is Bachelors Clues. Today is October 20th. That's right. That was the great one you heard up top. Letting us know that he's got a USA Today bestseller on his hands with his book Don't Texture X Happy Birthday.

Or as someone that Darkseeker reposts on Gore called him Not My Great One, which I think is a great phrase.

He is a great one for all of us for the entire nation. But today is October 20th, 2022. We need to say that date just in case anybody out there might be listening to this in the future.

And you want to know what happened in this great week within our nation.

Yeah, I should reiterate that by the time this comes out, everything will have changed because Taylor Swift's new album and Nightlook have come out.

So keep bearing mind. We have recorded this before that album has come out before the world changed.

But if you've listened to this week in Bachelors Nation before you know what you're going to get here, you're going to get a bunch of news about all the comings and goings of our favorite players with the nation.

You're going to get a bunch of news about their parasocial plays. You're going to get some screams from the pit. We're going to talk about those gains.

We're going to talk about those parasocial creatures of the week. But before we get to any of that, of course, we're going to have to discuss what is going on in our beloved game this week.

This is Game of Roses.

Stayed up the game. Now, as you may be aware, if you listen to our program, we talk a lot about the sauce wars.

We have coined that phrase because it was something that we saw happening. I don't know when we sell this happening six months to a year ago.

Yeah, we should figure out what the real start of the sauce wars was.

I don't remember when the first time we mentioned the phrase was, but I would say the start of the sauce wars was probably March 25, 2002 with the first episode of the batch.

Oh, it's a great. The sauce wars have they've been a long time coming. And the idea is basically that the show is perpetuating certain narratives that are less than true, shall we say.

And there are some players who come out to reveal the tea behind those narratives and tell the truth about them and the official vaccination podcasts happy hour clickbait talking it out.

Whatever the new Michael O'Leo and Daniel Moabee won is going to be second spark. That's my prediction.

Second spark. Okay.

They kind of all uphold the narratives that the producers are telling us many of which are untrue.

We saw this happening and we kind of were predicting that there was going to kind of come a time where the players would start to contradict the edits.
