  • 'Bachelor Pad 2' Recap Episode 2: Ames Brown
    ‘Bachelor Pad 2’ Recap Episode 2: Ames Brown Trumps them All By Lori Bizzoco Usually when a former Bachelor or Bachelorette leaves the show voluntarily, like two-time ‘Bachelor Pad’ contestant and swimsuit model, Gia Allemand did last night, it becomes the episode news headliner the next day. But last night’s storybook ending even knocked out coverage of the attention- seeking love triangle usually reserved for Jake Pavelka, Vienna Girardi and Kasey Kahl. It was a scene that leaves us understanding why even bad reality shows are beating out long- standing soap operas. You can’t make this stuff up! Last night there were two scenes that made single women everywhere believe in love again. First was the closing scene with Ivy-League, world-traveling, portfolio manager, Ames Brown. After he said a heartfelt good-bye to his newfound love and eliminated housemate, Jackie Gordon he turned around to head back towards the house. What happened next made hearts stop everywhere. Instead of continuing his walk toward the contestants, Ames slowly stopped, raised his hand and waved good-bye to them. Giving up the $250,000 prize, he sprinted back towards the limousine with Jackie inside. That fairy-tale exit trumped everything else on the show and gives romance fanatics a reason to believe that Mr. Right is a possibility, especially if you go after the awkwardly smart, rich guy wearing the hot pink pants. In Ames’ own words, “This is the happiest limo ride in Bachelor history.” The second love scene comes with ex’s, Michael Stagliano and children’s book author, Holly Durst.

But true to her fearless form, Double-M decided to take the leap, affirming, “When they approached me with the show, I was pretty skeptical about going back on television for a third time, but they presented the format to me as being a lot more realistic in terms of finding a relationship.” Money also admits, “After going onThe Bachelor, it was appealing to me to find someone who has had the same experiences that come with reality TV, like being recognized in public and having to deal with the editing.” Related Link: ‘Bachelor in Paradise’ Drama: AshLee Frazier Says She Wishes She Could Take Back Quarrel With Clare Crawley When it comes to love, fans still swoon over the heartwarming relationship between Money and Bachelor Pad 2 teammate and ex- boyfriend Graham Bunn, hoping that “MoneyBunn’s” love will prevail.

  • Bachelor Nation(S): the Construction of Romantic Love and Audience Investment in the Bachelor/Ette in Australia and the United States
    . Volume 15, Issue 2 November 2018 Bachelor Nation(s): The construction of romantic love and audience investment in The Bachelor/ette in Australia and the United States Jodi McAlister, Deakin University, Australia Abstract: The Bachelor/ette is a franchise with iterations in multiple major Anglophone countries. It began in the USA in 2002, but in the last five years, new versions of the franchise have emerged, including in Australia (2013-). While The Bachelor/ette is an instantly recognisable global franchise, local cultural priorities inflect both the show and the ways in which audiences react to it. This article examines this phenomenon in two territories: Australia and the United States. It will outline the diegetic differences between the two franchises, and use two key case studies to elucidate, explore, and explain some of these divergences. These two case studies – the failed romances of Bachelorette Georgia Love and runner-up Matty Johnson in The Bachelorette Australia in 2016, and Bachelorette Rachel Lindsey and runner-up Peter Kraus in the US version of The Bachelorette in 2017 – represent two instances in which audiences became deeply invested in particular love stories. Thus, I closely read both case studies with references to major recaps. By doing so, I seek to shed light on the divergent romantic cultures of the United States and Australia, and show that while there are numerous overlaps and commonalities in these cultures, there are also distinct national preferences and desires around romantic love. Keywords: romantic love; The Bachelor; The Bachelorette; reality television; recaps Introduction In 2016, after Bachelorette Georgia Love rejected Matty Johnson in favour of Lee Elliott in the finale of the second season of The Bachelorette Australia, the reaction of the audience was one of disbelief and heartbreak.

  • Pick Chantal O'brien Over Emily Maynard for Brad
    Former ‘Bachelor’ and ‘Bachelorettes’ Pick Chantal O’Brien Over Emily Maynard For Brad Womack Cupid Exclusive! With The Bachelor final rose ceremony less than a week away, single women are placing their bets on who they think ABC’s two-time Bachelor, Brad Womack, will give that final rose to on March 14. It’s down to this season’s two fan favorites: soft-spoken southern mother Emily Maynard and sassy, slaphappy divorcee Chantal O’Brien. Based on Womack’s infamous dumping of both DeAnna Papas and Jenni Croft in season 11, many fans wonder if he’ll leave his final two picks heartbroken as well. While everyone has an opinion, nobody can be sure what will happen. Even Bachelor reality TV spoiler sites like Reality Steve have reported different endings before next week’s season finale. That’s why Cupid’s Pulse took this question to the experts: six rose-loving revelers from past seasons – David Good, Natalie Getz, Tenley Molzahn, Kiptyn Locke, Jesse Kovacs and Elizabeth Kitt. After all, who better to ask than formerBachelor and Bachelorette contestants who appeared not once, but twice (just like Womack) on the Bachelor franchise? Each of them competed last summer for a chance to win $250,000 on ABC’s Bachelor spin-off show, Bachelor Pad – which Chris Harrison officially announced will return this year for a second season during last night’s The Women Tell All episode. The verdict: None of the former reality stars chose fan favorite Emily Maynard, who 83 percent* of Cupid’s Pulse readers picked as their favorite for Brad in this week’s poll.

  • Season 15 Finale: Brad Womack’S
    ‘The Bachelor’ Season 15 Finale: Brad Womack’s Lucky Lady and After the Final Rose By Krissy Dolor After two long seasons and more than fifty women, Austin native Brad Womack has finally chosen his bride-to-be: blonde bombshell Emily Maynard! But before we get to the details of their final week in South Africa (and the shocking announcement during the After the Final Rose special), let’s take a look back at The Bachelor season 15 finale: Before the final dates, Chantal O. and Emily must meet the family: mom Pam, brothers Wes and Chad (Brad’s twin), and their wives, Prima and Dylan (who resembles Emily in the looks department – maybe it’s a twin thing?). After a tearful reunion and Brad revealing a definite proposal, the interrogation began. Chantal met the Womacks first, and said she fell in love in Costa Rica. Her upbeat personality easily won her points. “She immediately clicked with the family.” said Wes. Pam, however, was skeptical of Chantal’s devotion and asked how she fell in love so quickly. “It made it easy to fall in love because Brad was that person,” Chantal said. Pam couldn’t argue with that, and said she saw her fitting in with Brad’s world. “You’re precious,” said Pam. Though Brad thought Chantal won his family over, he was clearly more excited to see Emily and was nervous about their day. “I just hope she’s herself with my family,” he said. The meeting started off stiff, as Brad acted as a shield between Emily and his clan.
