{PDF EPUB} Bachelor Nation Inside the World of America's Favorite Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Bachelor Nation Inside the World of America's Favorite Guilty Pleasure by Amy Kaufman Bachelor Matt Just Confirmed He’s Back Together With Rachael After Her Racism Scandal. Bachelor Nation members want to know if Matt and Rachael are back together after The Bachelor and their breakup following Rachael’s racism scandal. Matt, a 29-year-old real estate broker, and Rachael, a 24-year-old graphic designer, met on season 25 of The Bachelor in 2020. At his Final Rose Ceremony, Matt gave Rachael his final rose, but told her that he couldn’t propose to her but would like to continue dating. At the “After the Final Rose” special, which was held four months after Matt’s Bachelor was filmed, he revealed that he and Rachael had split following her racism scandal. Rachael came under fire in February 2021 after photos resurfaced of her attending a plantation-themed Old South Antebellum party at Georgia College in 2018. Around that time, a TikTok user also accused Rachael of bullying her and other classmates in high school for dating Black men. (Read more about Rachael’s racism scandal here.) Reality Steve revealed at the time that Matt had broke up with Rachael after Valentine’s Day. During the “After the Final Rose” special, Matt confirmed that he ended his relationship with Rachael due to the controversy. “We’re not [together],” Matt told guest host Emmanuel Acho. “It’s heartbreaking. If you don’t understand that something like that is problematic in 2018, there’s a lot of me that you won’t understand. It’s as simple as that…You know what was a long time ago? Plantations.” Fast forward to a month later, and it looks like Matt and Rachael could be back together after their Bachelor breakup. Read on for what we know. Are Matt and Rachael back together after The Bachelor ? Matt confirmed in an interview with People on April 28, 2021 that he is “pursuing” a relationship with Rachael after their breakup. “I’ve seen Rachael a handful of times,” he said. “I’m not pursuing any relationships right now outside of that. I said I was going to focus on my relationship with her and that means focusing on it.” When asked if he thinks Rachael is educating herself after racism scandal, Matt responded, “That’s something you could talk to her about.” Matt’s confirmation came after Reality Steve reported on April 6, 2021, that Matt and Rachael are “not over” and were seen together in New York City, where Matt lives with his best friend, Tyler Cameron. “It’s been a while but here’s some news: Matt and Rachael? Yeah, they’re not over. They’re currently in New York together. FYI,” Reality Steve tweeted. Instagram account @DeuxMoi also posted photos at the time of Matt and Rachael walking around Williamsburg, Brooklyn. At the time, Matt and Rachael haven’t commented on their relationship, but Rachael did post an Instagram of herself in April 2021 with the caption, “one happy camper ☻.” The caption seems to be a 180 from the Rachael fans saw on the “After the Final Rose” special, so it could be a result of a major change in Rachael’s life (a.k.a. her reunion with Matt.) During the “After the Final Rose” special, Matt confessed that his feelings for Rachael didn’t “go away overnight” and he still has hope that she can change. “You can still really care about somebody and want them to do better,” he said at the time. “I don’t think that anybody’s irredeemable. There’s a lot of processing that I have to do, and it’s just not a situation that I think that I would help. [That’s] why I stepped back and let her do the work that she’s committed to doing.” Bachelor Nation by Amy Kaufman.

The STD that keeps most contestants from competing on ‘The Bachelor’ Los Angeles Times staff writer Amy Kaufman’s new book, “Bachelor Nation: Inside the World of America’s Favorite Guilty Pleasure” (Dutton, out March 6), pulls back the velvet curtains on one of the highest-rated reality shows on television, ABC’s “The Bachelor.” And it’s not all rose petals and champagne flutes. Kaufman reveals that the show’s supervising producer, Scott Jeffress, would motivate the other producers with cash, keeping a wad of $100 bills for anyone who delivered the goods. “The first producer to get tears? A hundred bucks! You get [the bachelor] to make out with the right girl? A hundred bucks! Catch a chick puking on-camera? A hundred bucks!” The conditions in the “Bachelor” mansion set the stage for a chaotic, stressful environment: Contestants “sometimes sleep 12 to a room in bunk beds,” and they aren’t allowed to leave the property, listen to music, read books or magazines, work out or catch up on the news. “It’s all part of a well-designed producer strategy called ‘The Bubble,’” writes Kaufman. “Inside the bubble, all that matters is the show.” But how do you get into the bubble? In this excerpt, Kaufman reveals who gets on “The Bachelor.” After filling out an extensive application and submitting five to 15 pictures of themselves, applicants must produce a “well-lit” video of themselves “dressed as if going to a nice dinner,” showing off their apartment, their pets, and talking about what their ultimate fantasy date would be. If the producers decide they’re interested in a potential contestant, that person would be invited to come to LA for one of two final audition weekends — all expenses paid — to meet the production team in person. A 150-question personality test is filled with multiple-choice and true-or-false questions: Do you have out-of-body experiences? Do you think you can control things with your mind? Have you ever wanted to kill someone? Some of these questions would be asked several times, with different wording. The next day, a Saturday, they would be escorted to a room to have a one-on-one interview with a producer. There would likely be candles and mood lighting. After 20 minutes of speaking with the producer privately, they would be walked to an adjoining room, where they would be greeted by roughly two dozen producers sitting stadium-style. The producers would have the potential contestants sit down and would start asking them questions, rapid-fire. Had they watched the last season of “The Bachelorette”? Did any of the guys stand out? What were they looking for in a man? What was their dream job? If they could have that dream job if they cut off one of their limbs, would they do it? Would they rather have a DDD bra cup or write a cover story for Vogue? Just as the questions started to become more outlandish, the producers would wrap up the session and a handler would take the person to meet with the show’s therapist. From 2002 through summer 2017, that was Dr. Catherine Selden. ‘We lose a lot of great potential characters because we’re so tough and stringent … Anyone who has any sort of borderline personality disorder or instability … we just can’t take the risk.’ According to the California Board of Psychology, Selden is a state-licensed psychologist who graduated from Pepperdine University and has no disciplinary actions against her license. She was always made available to contestants throughout the season — she was not a presence on set but emerged any time she was requested — and cast members were supposed to meet with her after they were eliminated. But contestants were first acquainted with Dr. Selden during the casting process. So she would be in possession of the personality test they had previously filled out and would spend roughly an hour asking questions about it. At times, she would get personal: Had they ever cheated on anyone? Did they have a history of mental illness or depression? Did they ever drink too much? Did they ever get into fights when they were drunk? Next, the handler would bring them to a private investigator.

Tropical Rosé clocks in at 3.2 percent alcohol-by-volume and will be available nationally in four packs of 12-ounce cans starting in February. Harrison has been fully immersed in what is his first alcohol partnership, working closely with the Seagram’s Escapes team to craft the new drink’s flavor, name and packaging. “Creating Tropical Rosé has been a really hands-on experience for me,” said Harrison. “From the very beginning, I traveled with the Seagram’s Escapes team to their flavor house in Chicago to pick just the right color and the perfect fruit flavors. After we were happy with the drink, I had the opportunity to choose the name and weigh in on everything from packaging to advertising. I’m proud of Tropical Rosé and can’t wait for everyone to finally taste it.” “We’re thrilled to have had the opportunity to partner with Chris and to share this drink with both our fans and his,” said Lisa Texido, Seagram’s Escapes brand manager.

Stanwood, Thesis Advisor Boston College May 2007 Acknowledgments There have been many people over the past year who have in one way or another helped and participated in the creation of this senior thesis. First and foremost, I dedicate this thesis to my family for encouraging me to undertake this project and challenge myself, and for helping me push through even at the most stressful of times. They have given me endless love and support my entire life and have never stopped believing in me, and I am eternally thankful to them. I also want to thank my advisor, Professor Bill Stanwood, for his countless hours of guidance, support and optimism. Coming in as my advisor later than normal, he has been optimistic and excited about this project from day one. Constantly available and willing to help, he has had such confidence in my abilities. This thesis would not be what it is today if not for Professor Stanwood’s direction and continual support, and I feel privileged to have had him as my advisor. Finally, I want to thank the Communication Department and the Arts & Sciences Honors Program of Boston College for affording me the opportunity to engage in such a challenging yet fulfilling project.

  • Bachelor Pad 2′ Recap Episode 4: Blake Julian Gives Holly
    ‘Bachelor Pad 2′ Recap Episode 4: Blake Julian Gives Holly Durst a Rose With Jake Pavelka eliminated, a new love triangle — involving Blake, Holly and Michael — has emerged on this week’s episode of Bachelor Pad 2. This week’s challenge might have ended some relationships and put a spark on others. Kissing Contest: Chris Harrison claims this contest was the most popular competition last season, but it didn’t seem like the contestants wanted to take part it in this year. To set a good example for her 6-year-old daughter, Michelle Money backed out of the challenge. The ladies are first, and once they’re blindfolded, they are kissed by every guy. When the winners were announced, Chris states that they won with an overwhelming majority of the votes. Challenge Winners: Blake Julian and Ella Nolan Immunity and Dates: Ella chooses Kirk for her date, which involves driving a red Ferrari to the Casa Bachelor Annex, where they have dinner. Kirk tells Ella about his life-threatening battle with mold, and Ella talks about witnessing her mother’s murder. She gives him a rose, and then they ride on a hot air balloon. Blake invites Holly on a date, which naturally causes Melissa to throw a tantrum. They head to a ski slope on a private jet, and later spend time in front of a fire, where Blake asks Holly about her feelings toward Michael Stagliano. Holly decides to spend the night with Blake at the log cabin, while viewers get to see Michael alone in the pad, pining for his ex-fiancée.
