'The Bachelor' Season 23 Finale Recap Part 1

Welcome to Episode 12 of A Beautiful Podcast to Fall in Love, TV Guide's unofficial Bachelor Nation show. This week, former The Bachelor and Bachelor in Paradise cast member Jacqueline Trumbull and TV Guide associate editor Liam Mathews break down Part 1 of the finale of Colton Underwood's season.

Topics discussed include Colton's weird haircut; The Bachelor becoming so honest with its artifice that it's more willing than ever to show raw footage as well as emotion (executive producers Elan Gale and Bennett Graebner could be spotted in the background of this episode); Tayshia's kindness while Colton was breaking up with her; Hannah G. talking more than she has all season and saying emotionally honest stuff. She didn't put a happy face on getting unexpectedly dumped, you know? There's also even more Game of Thrones talk than usual.
