Game of Roses

Bachelor Nation is still waiting for answers. BachelorClues and PaceCase examine ABC’s prolonged silence surrounding the future of The Bachelor, what the extended hiatus could mean for the franchise, and whether Bachelor Nation is heading toward a dramatically reduced schedule.

Then, it’s an all-Bachelor edition of Bachelor Nation News: Tyler Cameron joins Dancing with the Stars AND gets engaged to Tate Madden, Taylor Frankie Paul shares a petition calling for her scuttled Bachelorette season to finally air, and Gabby Windey prepares to make her scripted acting debut in Netflix’s The Body.

Plus, the week’s biggest parasocial plays from Love Island USA, Trinity Tatum lands a massive Verizon campaign, and BachelorClues discovers that Game of Roses has accidentally made its way into The New York Times.

Bachelor Season 16 champion Courtney Robertson joins Game of Roses for a raw and revealing conversation about one of the most difficult chapters of her life. Courtney opens up about her separation and divorce, the alleged infidelity she says she uncovered throughout her marriage, the moment her husband finally admitted the truth, and the challenges of rebuilding her life while raising three young children. Then, Courtney takes us inside the Bachelor Nation podcast event that led to her tense conversation with Trista Sutter. She explains the history behind their years-long conflict, what was happening behind the scenes during their uncomfortable Almost Famous appearance, and why their radically different experiences within the Bachelor franchise continue to shape how they see each other today. Plus: Bachelor Mansion Takeover, villain edits, Courtney’s groundbreaking Bachelor tell-all, the strange world of Bachelor Nation hierarchy—and the pickleball tournament BachelorClues is now determined to win.

Digging Deeper returns with 11 luscious clips from across the reality TV ecosystem, including Leah Kateb revealing that Love Island producers offered her extra wine to pull Rob for a conversation she didn’t want to have, Stassi Schroeder explaining how little control she had while hosting the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives reunion, Michelle Obama and Megan Thee Stallion breaking down their love of reality television, and Harry Jowsey entering the Nick Viall discourse. Then Stephanie Parker reveals the letter she received from ABC’s legal team over her interviews with Bachelor Nation players, raising some very serious questions about how far the franchise will go to control what its players say after the game.

Game of Roses reviews Netflix’s Let’s Marry Harry, Alex Cooper’s latest attempt at reality dating television starring Harry Jowsey. PaceCase and BachelorClues break down the bizarre engagement format, questionable eliminations, underdeveloped players, Harry’s chaotic gameplay, and the moments that somehow made PaceCase enjoy the season. From the low-budget mansion dates to the much stronger final stretch in New Zealand, they examine why a show featuring one of reality TV’s most notorious players feels like The Bachelor and Love Is Blind mashed together—and why Clues believes Alex Cooper still hasn’t figured out how to produce a great reality competition show.
