FULL EPISODE AVAILABLE AT patreon.com/bachelorinretrospect

In this bonus episode for patrons, Annemarie, still traumatized from the honeymoon suite cam at Sean and Catherine's wedding, sits down with romance author and academic Jodi McAlister to unpack the Bachelor's obsession with doing storylines about Losing It. Annemarie and Jodi discuss all your favorite famous Bachelor virgins and how they felt about the show making it their storyline, the sociological and religious scripts about sex and virginity we see play on out in the franchise, and what exactly "five and a half" sex acts means in the twisted mind of Mike Fleiss.

You can find Jodi on social media at @jodimcalister and @jodimca, and purchase her latest book, Not Here to Make Friends, wherever books are sold.
