This Thursday started off with a bang! On one show we have someone saying they know how to handle six inches and the other show we are talking about sucking toes, I will let you guess which quote came from which show.
ABC has decided that they are going to show both The Golden Bachelor and Bachelor in Paradise on the same night. That means for the foreseeable future we got 3 hours of Bachelor content! The plan is to talk about both of them, starting with how the shows are aired, The Golden Bachelor.
The Golden Bachelor Recap
The first night of the Golden Bachelor felt like the camera had that snapchat filter that makes you old but make it wholesome.
Gerry starting the night off strong with this tux. For those who don't remember, they announced that Gerry was going to be the first Golden Bachelor. He had lost his wife years ago and feels like he is ready to find another partner to go through life together.
Gerry got to meet 22 lucky ladies on night one. Most of them had some fun gimmicks to get his attention. A few to note:
- Pretending to be naked under a jacket
- Made a 6 inches joke
- Came in on a motorcycle
- Dressed in a track suit
The show was only an hour long so you don't see too many night one craziness. One scene that was funny was Gerry was dancing with one of the women and then the crazy little boo thang tiktok song came on and all of the women started dancing with them. From what they showed on the first night, the vibe is going to be more like that were they are all really nice to each other and supportive. It doesn't seem like the drama will be similar to the youngings.
Here are how the roses went, admittedly I didn't catch everyone and not sure if I got the spelling right:
Faith first impression rose
Ellen
Theresa
Joan
Natasha
Leslie
Christina
Edith
Nancy
April
Sandra
Jean
Kathy
Marina
Peggy
Susan
Matt James mom Patty and a few others went home. Gerry has now 16 women to do the rest of the journey with. Here is a trailer of his season:
Bachelor in Paradise
The meme says it all, we took a turn real quick from this wholesome love show to crazy silly dating show. But we are here for it! The new season of Bachelor in Paradise was off to a pretty good start, a lot of pretty memorable people are on the beach, some you might not remember. Here is a list of everyone who started on the beach:
Bachelorette Rachel
Brayden
Kylie
Aaron B
Mercedes
Sean
Jess
Will
Brooklyn
Kat
Blake
Cat
Eliza
Greer
Aaron S
Peter
Sam
Olivia
From you were counting up the guys to girls it was 7 guys and 11 girls. For those who might not be aware of how the show works, first off thank you for reading the recap, if there is less of one side they are the ones handing out the roses and if you don't get a rose you go home. Since there are less guys, they have the power this week.
Right off the bat we have a smoochfest. Had a good amount of people kissing:
Will kissed Olivia and then kissed Kylie on their 1x1
Brayden kissed Kat
Rachel and Sean kissed
Jess and Blake smooched
Aaron B and Mercedes kissed
Aaron S and Sam maybe kissed
There were two big plot points of the night. The first was this mini love triangle Will, Oliva and Kylie formed. Olivia was upset that Will didn't talk to her after he made out with her and then went on a date with Kylie. Pretty much it, nothing we haven't seen before.
The second was Kylie really wanted Aven to be on the beach.
I guess he had been liking her posts on social media. He would like and then on one pic she posted, he fire emoji. Woah.. The end of the episode has Aven actually joining the beach and we get left on that cliffhanger.
From what they have shown in the trailers, it seems like the big twist this year is they have multiple Bachelorettes come down to the beach to talk to the group. Last year Jared and Ashely spent a good amount of time down there, so it seems like they are trying to be people who aren't contestants but who will stir up the pot.
All in all it was a lot of Bachelor content but I enjoyed it. I think it will be comical going back to back with this wholesome mature show in the Golden Bachelor to this more comedic light hearted show in Bachelor in Paradise. Comment below your thoughts!
Thanks for reading.
