Let’s talk about this Sydney and Maria conflict, because there are SO many nuances to this situation. At first glance the drama seems to be about something pointless (a comment Maria made challenging the idea of age 31 being “old”), but Episode 3 unveils many more layers. In this Bachelor recap, we unpack the use of the words “bullying” and other therapy speak, the power of “in” and “out” group dynamics, and how Maria and Sydney each handled (and mishandled) the conflict.

We are SO excited and honored to be joined by the wonderful JENNA from DATE CARD, one of our absolute favorite Bachelor podcasts! Jenna analyzes the The Bachelor franchise from a queer feminist lens, and her critique (and hilarity) always blows us away.
