We skipped our usual episode recap this week to discuss Chris Harrison's interview with Rachel Lindsay and how its been received by Bachelor Nation. The conversation turned to how it changed our understanding of the discourse around the show, this podcast, and our friendship. 

Spoiler alert: we're going to be devoting much less energy and time to the Bachelor going forward and will instead be recapping our longtime obsession, Married at First Sight. Look out on Monday for our first episode covering the MAFS season!

This week's episode was an absolute shit show and we're here to remind everyone to blame the producers and not the cast. Once we're done ranting about how horrible the people who make this show are, Kate talks about the polyamorous lesbian vegan scene in Chicago and Dillon explains that Katie actually sucks. And, for the first time in history, Bach Signal is skeptical of whether Jen Shah is truly a queen.

It's the first week of The Matchelor and Bach Signal is getting theoretical. Inspired by Victoria's performance, we discuss possible plays that a Bachelor contestant can make when she realizes that she's not the hottest girl on the show and how the women in the house could use Survivor-style alliances. Then, Kate screams about Franco Lacosta being the only gay man in Bachelor Nation and Dillon presents his unified theory of really tv queens (ft. Jen Shah, of course).

Dillon explains how this episode plays into the hypersexualization of Black men and Kate makes the case for not giving production the benefit of the doubt. Listeners, we are already exhausted.
