We have Alison Cochrun, the other of The Charm Offensive, back on the podcast with our bookstagram friend Katie to talk about The Bachelor Franchise, dating shows, queering dating shows, and more. We ask both of them hard-hitting questions about The Bachelor franchise: favorite contestant, favorite lead, one thing you would change, would you want to be a villain or go all the way, and and what the shows would look like if they were more queer friendly and inclusive. Bonus rapid fire round to see what everyone would do if they were on the show - dress or suit? Contestant or main person? Go out on night one or stay around longer? Even if you're not a super fan of The Bachelor franchise, there's something in this episode for everyone (And Alex does a great job asking questions because she has almost no Bachelor knowledge). 

You can find Alison on Instagram and Twitter at @alisoncochrun and at her website https://www.alisoncochrun.com/
