We get into the tea on Mel’s divorce settlement, the new format shakeups, and yes—this show is still very much a popularity contest.</p><p>One standout moment? Dale Moss shows up, and the vibe instantly shifts. It’s wild how much of a difference a <em>finalist</em> makes. I also play the funniest clip from star contestant Katt Izzo that seriously had me in tears.</p><p>And don’t miss the bad Trump impression from bartender Wells Adams—complete with clown music in the background. His quote? <em>“I feel like America needs this. It’s inflation, tariffs… it’s a lot of crazy things happening, and we need to watch a bunch of idiots make out with each other on the beach.”</em> Yikes!</p><p>Tune in for who’s vibing, who’s leaving, and who just might be the next Bachelor.</p>","author_name":"Courtney Robertson"}
