As entertaining as Charity’s journey to find love has been, this season’s The Men Yell All was pretty lackluster, so I will be brief.
No surprise to me, it was not only announced that Braydon is heading to Paradise, but the Evil Genius Producers (EGPs) also had previews of him prepared to stoke our interest. He is one of the most interesting and entertaining villains in my history with the franchise, and his being in Paradise was a no-brainer.
According to My Girl @bachelordata IG, the Yell All Hot Seat is something of a pipeline to Paradise as 75-80% of The Hot Seat Sitters on both The Bachelor and The Bachelorette either go to Paradise or become the next Bachelor or Bachelorette. Although Braydon got his ticket without preferred seating, this may portend Paradise appearances for Sean (“Prince Charming”) and Xavier [cue Eddie Money Two Tickets to Paradise]. In Sean’s case, perhaps his seemingly spontaneous decision to occupy The Seat without Jesse’s invitation had been un-spontaneously decided by the EGPs.
It was nice to see an appearance from My Girl Desiree from The Bachelor and The Bachelorette in 2013.
Other than that, the only other Yell All aspect of interest – and I use the term “interest” quite loosely – was some drama around some guy named John who could have been on the show while in a witness protection program and nobody still knows who he is.
And, no, I do not care about this senior bachelor dude.
See you next week for the Finale that Jesse says is so heartbreaking that it will shock us to our core and go down in Bachelor history.
[My Girl Britney was too disinterested in this episode to show up to wave bye-bye this week.]
P.S. This week’s viewing wine was a smooth Ravines Maximilien, a 46% Cabernet Sauvignon/54% Merlot blend from the Finger Lakes region in New York. It was consumed in my hotel room outside Minneapolis.
