When they said this season was going to be "groundbreaking" I didn't think they meant that it would make me want to break a hole in the ground and crawl into it. Ooof.
Amanda and I were really rooting for Matt James in the beginning of this season but he turned out to be yet another man-child scared of commitment, at least, if that's what his mom wants him to be. He often expressed how much he cared about "the women" on his season but mostly just told them what they wanted to hear and thanked them for sharing their feelings whilst rarely reciprocating (though we do acknowledge that Matt's behavior overall was perhaps constrained by the role he had to fill as "America's first Black Bachelor", which he discussed at length on
After The Final Rose.) Our love of
frontrunner Rachael Kirkconnell was also spoiled, Michelle "The Obvious Choice" Young was
harshly dumped at the last minute, and Bri Springs was also cast aside and
perhaps will be leaving Bachelor Nation for good. And let's not even talk about
Abigail Herringer.
The clear star of this episode was Matt's brother John. You can learn more about him and his "rap career"
here. (Maybe it's harsh to put rap career in quotes but as a washed up rapper, I have OPINIONS.)
Matt may have left with Rachael, but what happened next? We suggest you watch
After The Final Rose for the whole story or you can listen to our next episode about it and kind of get some idea of what happened if we can stop talking about
Emmanuel Acho for 5 minutes.
It was a sad ending to a promising but disappointing season. We thank YOU, our loyal listeners, for helping us get through it all. Please do everything you can to support us (short of opening your wallets because we aren't ready to ask you to do that yet) and write us some reviews and give us all the stars and tell your friends to listen. Without you, we don't exist: if a podcast falls in the woods and nobody is there to hear it, does it make a sound????? I would say NO.
What's next for Bachelor Massacre? We don't even know but hopefully
BIP is right around the corner ... š¤
