During a short segment during Jimmy Kimmel Live! Monday night, ABC confirmed reports that they had cast the first black lead of a Bachelor show: Rachel Lindsay, who is currently wrapping up Nick Viall’s season of The Bachelor, will be the next Bachelorette.

In a relatively huge twist considering its nature as a deeply predictable franchise, repeated Bachelorette reject Nick Viall has been announced as the new lead for the next season of The Bachelor.

Season 3 of Bachelor in Paradise has been reliably excellent, as nothing will ever be bad about a group of hardbodied Instagram salesmen competing to be in relationships with each other in a crab-infested cabana with no air conditioning.

Another season of The Bachelorette has come to a close, and while the ending of this one wasn’t exactly surprising, the way the show’s producers tweaked the program to handle that non-surprise was, once again, more interesting than the alleged love connection formed.

Last night’s season premiere of The Bachelorette was historic, in that ABC has saddled our girl JoJo Fletcher with what is possibly the worst group of men ever featured on this show.

Billed as a Celebration of Love, Sunday night’s special Valentine’s Day episode of The Bachelor was, as you may have guessed, many things—an excellent promotional opportunity for the show, a preview for the rest of this season, a chance for one couple to have their wedding paid for and their 15 minutes to continue.…

On Monday night’s premiere of The Bachelor Season 20, there were few surprises, except that Ben Higgins was sexually appealing. That was crazy. But otherwise, it was pretty standard: Chris Harrison was tan, a Fox News employee got the first impression rose, someone brought in a mini-horse, and the redhead got sent…

Steve Carbone, the man best known as Reality Steve, emailed me back no more than a minute after I sent him a note asking to interview him. “Sure. No problem. How do you want to do this?” the email read, sent from his iPhone. Carbone is nothing if not plugged in, and as the man who famously spends his days “spoiling”…

Well, everybody, it has been quite a month.

This week on Bachelor in Paradise, a very familiar face turned up: Chris Bukowski, who was back for the fifth time after embarrassing himself on The Bachelorette, Bachelor Pad, Bachelorette again very briefly, and Bachelor in Paradise season 1.

Fortunately for the people trapped in this sweltering, crab-ridden retreat for Christian personal trainers—and rather unfortunately for the conceit of this series—things have really dried up in paradise, tears-wise. But that’s not to say that no one cried! Please, this is a Bachelor show.

Hello again! There were less tears than usual on this week’s Bachelor in Paradise, for which we can probably thank a combination of Stockholm Syndrome and severe dehydration.

Welcome back to hell, you guys! This week on Bachelor in Paradise, the cast was extra sunburned, extra horny, and extra emotional.

This week in Paradise was an absolute mess.

Fresh off the latest season of The Bachelorette that yet again delivered some solid ratings (up from last year!), someone’s a little bizarrely defensive, and that someone is franchise host Chris Harrison.

ON THE HEELS of an EARTH-SHAKING casting announcement (bad lipstick Juelia! Two crazy Ashleys! “My name is” Carly! FREAKING TANNER WITH THE SEXY ROSACEA, #TEAMTANNER, HELLO!), Bachelor in Paradise host Chris Harrison has made the VERY CONTROVERSIAL decision to do a weekly after-show called After Paradise, effectively…

Chris Harrison wrote a romance novel. It took him a couple years and lots of late nights, but given that he’s spent his adult life advising sort of adults how to find love, and given that he’s divorced and has shown no real readiness to settle down again, it seems like that developing this side hustle was time…

ABC has announced the cast for next season of The Bachelorette, and their biographies are as delightful as ever. Their favorite music. The favorite movies. Their biggest fears. Their heroes. Every single thing about every single bachelor is perfect. But before reading the bios in full, take our quiz to find out if you…
