Bachelor Nation

"It’s a fast, easy and juicy read from start to finish. If you are a true bachelor fan you will know pretty much know every detail about this book and will still enjoy every minute of it. If not a member of Bachelor nation, you will be by the end of this book. The celebrities that they got for their write ups between chapters are incredible. The insight the author gives about her own obsession with the Bachelor franchise is quite refreshing, considering that she writes reviews about tv for a living and could watch pretty much any other show airing right now. Also it was fascinating hearing from her about that because she was so good at her job at recapping the episodes, that she was disinvited for bachelor events, including live finale tappings permanently."

"There is nothing I love more on a Monday evening than pouring myself a big ole glass of wine and laughing until I cry (or just crying) at The Bachelor/Bachelorette. I find it endlessly fascinating...this book, not so much. It did bring up some interesting topics though, like is it inherently unfeminist to watch this show? And why do we love judging other people so much? Ultimately I’m still going to watch (cause duh, it’s my guilty pleasure) but it’s nice to go into it with eyes wide open, so I don’t fall for the BS the producers are selling. But I’m sure as hell going to still enjoy it."

"BACHELOR NATION ⭐⭐⭐&#x1f4ab;/5. .<br/><br/>****Warning: Some spoilers ahead**** .<br/><br/>What a juicy read! I really enjoyed this Bachelor tell-all. Being a fan of the Bachelor Franchise, watching everything from The Bachelor/Bachelorette, Bachelor Pad, Bachelor in Paradise, Bachelor Winter games I've seen it all. Let's not exclude the other show spin-offs Happily Ever After: Ben and Lauren/The Twins. Safe to say it is my ultimate guilty pleasure #noshame. I always give myself a reality check while watching the shows, that there must be some sort of producer influence, but I didn't expect that much. I never knew how much PRESSURE production has on, not only the contestant's to say "I love you" but on the final gentlemen to get down on one knee and propose. I guess whatever makes the best kind of TV, right? .<br/><br/>Likes: I enjoyed the fact that they covered the Corrine/Damario story, as it provided some clarity. I obviously enjoyed the juicy content of the contracts and producer influence on each episode and how a lot of the show is scripted and manipulated. I obviously knew that some would be, but not that much. I also enjoyed hearing cast struggles with the constant manipulation, as it provided readers with a lot of insight. <br/>Dislikes: the "Why I'm a fan" segments. I enjoyed the first few, bit lost interested part way through and stopped reading them. I also wish that the book covered the Happily Ever After series (but that's my own selfish love for Ben Higgins). <br/><br/>Overall, I would definitely (and have) recommend this to a friend. Some parts of the books I didn't have interest in, but it had enough "Bach Disch" to keep me motivated to finish. .<br/><br/>Thank you so much @penguincanada for sending me a copy. As my previous post said, I stalked Indigo for its release, only to find a gifted copy (in exchange for a review) at my door step the next day - therefore I returned my purchased copy"
