a note from the editor:

Hey friends!

I had every intention of recapping this season of Paradise, but… I didn’t even watch most of it. However! If you think that I’m not already looking forward to this season of The Bachelor you would be mistaken.

Before we get too far into the off-season, here are some things I want to let you know:

I caved and started an Insta (@roserecaps) so that my followers on my personal account will no longer be bombarded with my constant request to READ. MY. BLOG.

Mike went on a date with Demi Lovato, Tyler is dating Gigi. Peter truly is the best candidate that ABC had for Bachelor (but mostly, thank God that it wasn't Luke P). And don't even get me started on what an odd choice it was to release the casting pictures of the girls before even announcing Peter.

(Also this is my unpopular opinion: Tyler C. should be allowed to date Gigi without any of yall saying that he did Hannah wrong. If Hannah wanted to be with him, she had that option. It’s not Tyler’s fault for moving on.)

I created my bracket for this season, based purely off of the girls' casting pictures. I'm refraining from getting into the nitty-gritty of the spreadsheet, but it's a Google Sheet and I am more than happy to share it with you (so we can compete!) or send you a copy (for your own fantasy league!) along with some more detailed information, like rules, scoring, and how to set everything up.

Lastly, thanks for sticking with me and this blog. Through the good, the bad, and the dramatic. See you in January.

xoxo,

Cyber Claire
