The Bachelor’s Reckoning with Race

Rather than my usual episode recap, I’m going to recap and comment on the stunning events of last week that culminated in Chris Harrison taking a leave of absence from The Bachelor franchise.

When Will the DRAMA End?

“I’m so mad at this season. I want to sue for damages for my lost time” – My Daughter Diandra (MDD). So this is what it’s come to.
