So many of us watch The Bachelor, Bachelorette or Bachelor in Paradise and think “what was she thinking?” or “why did he do that to her?!” -- or even comparing our own relationships or dating life to the show. Many of us watch it for pure curiosity and entertainment... and some even because we’re all hopeless romantics and want to see a love story unfold. No matter WHY you watch the show, we want to discuss the relationship dynamics, the conversation around sex, sexuality, and gender, communication tools, and mental health that comes up maaaaaany times throughout the show. Join husband and wife Kyle and Rachel Wright, MA, LMFT, as they deep dive into the land of #BachelorNation with a therapeutic lens on the phenomenon that is... The Bachelor. 🌹🎧

Wrapping up the season, we're answering your submitted questions while in distanced isolation / quasi-quarantine...  

Wow. In the most unfulfilling season finale of The Bachelor of all time, Peter's journey as THE bachelor comes to a close (thank goodness) and we're breaking down every insane moment.   We're talking all about...   -- Madison's meeting with the parents, her departure, her return, and her relationship -- Hannah Ann's meeting with the parents, her engagement, her break up, and her awesome 'comeback' -- Peter's family's response to his feelings, his two women, and how his indecision and dishonesty created a ripple effect of awfulness for Hannah Ann -- Barb ... and much more === Many of The Bachelor franchise’s existing recap episodes are hosted by current or previous contestants of the show.
