Love to See It with Emma and Claire

In this bonus episode, we go deep with Ilana Masad and Stevie K. Seibert Desjarlais on their new anthology: “Here For All The Reasons: Why We Watch The Bachelor.” It’s a book of essays about our first – and truest – love, “The Bachelor” franchise, and (surprise!) we even wrote an essay in it. We had such a fun time chatting with Ilana and Stevie about how this book came to be, where their relationship with the franchise began, why we continue to stick with “The Bachelor” when there are a million reasons we shouldn’t, and what they want to see from the future of the franchise.

Taylor Frankie Paul and Dakota Mortensen received mutual 3-year protective orders, and some interesting comments from the judge, in court last week. We discuss the updates in the ongoing legal battle, including an old voice memo from Jessi Draper being leaked to TMZ and some recent comments from execs behind “The Bachelorette” and “SLOMW” about the futures of the franchises. Whitney Leavitt is leaving “SLOMW,” and while she may be ready, we’re not! More “Summer House” reunion leaks dropped last week, and Amanda continues to come off as combative and willfully obtuse. Lauren Luyendyk took sides in the Alex Cooper/Alix Earle feud. And finally, we recap the second episode of “Farmer Wants A Wife,” in which Farmer Braden questions whether the women will enjoy farmwork, Farmer Brett gets goofy, and Farmer Sean talks about the trials of being a 22-year-old wealthy landowner seeking a faith-based non-golddigger.

Three makes a trend, and suddenly there are not just three, but FOUR former “Bachelor” USA franchise cast members appearing on Bravo casts. With Jasmine Goode on “The Valley,” Salley Carson on “Southern Charm,” Ashley Iaconetti on “Real Housewive of Rhode Island,” and Whitney Fransway on “In the City,” the great Bachelor x Bravo convergence is undeniably happening. Guest Gibson Johns (host of “Gabbing with Gib”) joins us to talk about this once-unimaginable overlap between the two massive reality powerhouses, what the Bravo path has to offer reality stars, what a “Bachelor” star has to offer a Bravo show, and what this is means for the future of reality TV.
