The emu is a large, long-necked, flightless-yet-powerful bird, related to the ostrich and native to Australia. Though they can be raised for their meat, feathers, eggs, and oil, they are also often kept as farm pets and help protect other domesticated animals from predators. That’s because — I can tell you from briefly living next to a farm that had one — they’re rather intimidating, with strong legs, a dinosaurian gaze and a tendency to sharply peck at anything they’re curious about. (The Aussies lost an actual war against them,...

Lance Bass is a lifelong fan of “The Bachelor” and this summer, he landed his dream job hosting a show from the franchise, as one of the rotating guest hosts on the current season of “Bachelor in Paradise.”
The former boy-bander ends his three-episode run on Tuesday, and Bass had such a good experience on the show, he wants to do it again.
In fact, he has an idea for a new series: “If you want the most dramatic season ever, do an LGBT version,” Bass says with a laugh.
“I think maybe it’s the time for ‘The Bachelor’ to do a gay Bachelor. I think that would be so much fun,” Bass says. “And I definitely know a host if you need it.”
“I have not talked to anyone about that, but I would be so down,” he adds.

Twenty-three contestants arrived on the beach over the course of six different franchise seasons. James Bonsall, Connor Brennan, Aaron Clancy, Tre Cooper and former villain Karl Smith joined from Katie Thurston’s recent season of “The Bachelorette.” Serena Chew, Jessenia Cruz, Abigail Herringer, “Queen” Victoria Larson, Victoria Paul, Serena Pitt and Mari Pepin-Solis arrived from Matt James’ run as “The Bachelor.

Former “Bachelor” star Colton Underwood came out as gay in an emotional interview on “Good Morning America” on Wednesday, a revelation that sent shockwaves throughout the “Bachelor” fandom.
“I’ve ran from myself for a long time and I’ve hated myself for a long time, and I’m gay. I came to terms with that earlier this year and have been processing it,” Underwood said in the interview with Robin Roberts. “The next step in all of this was sort of letting people know. I’m still nervous, but it’s been a journey for sure.”
Underwood starred on the 23rd season of “The Bachelor” in 2019, having previously appeared on “The Bachelorette” and “Bachelor in Paradise.” The former professional football player’s decision to remain a virgin was a core part of the narrative throughout all of his appearances to his final rose ceremony.

Peter Weber went on “The Bachelor,” dated 30 women, got engaged to one and briefly reconciled with another before giving it a go with his fifth-place finisher, Kelley Flanagan. It’s a lot when you lay it out, but for the pilot, this was the way it was meant to be.
In a Cameo message wishing a fan, Sage, a happy 16th birthday, Weber gave her the “inside scoop” on why he “ultimately picked Kelley.”
“To be completely honest, I think just the nature of the show definitely works and I’ve said that since Day 1. I still believe it works, but I think specifically for the type of relationship between, you know, Kelley and myself just wasn’t the most organic type of situation for us that was going to actually work,” Weber explained. “And that’s Ok. That’s totally Ok because each relationship is different.”

What a difference three weeks makes. After claiming that they were just friends earlier this month, Peter Weber and his “Bachelor” fifth-place finisher Kelley Flanagan are now dating, according to “Us Weekly.”
“Peter and Kelley are fully dating, but they aren’t admitting it to people,” a source told the magazine. Meanwhile, an insider (the same one?) also confirmed to “People” that the two “are a couple.”
We know, completely shocking. Who would’ve guessed after they frolicked along the Chicago Riverwalk during a pandemic, started quarantining together and posting flirty TikToks, right? According to “Us Weekly,” the pair is trying to keep their relationship on the down-low because of their social distancing faux pas last month.
“[Flanagan] has been much more careful and has been staying in her house ever since her incident with Peter while walking on the Riverwalk in Chicago and doesn’t want to be criticized all over the internet,...

Editor's Note: There are many, many more important things to consider right now before The Bachelor. This discussion is inconsequential in the face of a global pandemic, but for the next five minutes, let's stay inside and put our Bachelor Nation hats on.
The Bachelor has been struggling. You know it, I know it, producers (maybe) know it. What was once a well-intentioned search for love has turned into sideshow act. Squabbles between the cast are encouraged behind the scenes, contestants who have been cut by the lead are allowed back on set for the sake of drama, and the finales have been messy. By the final rose ceremony - if the season even has one - even steadfast fans like myself have been groaning that they can't wait for things to wrap up.

Bachelor Peter Weber says he’s not dating Kelley Flanagan… yet: I’d be ‘very happy if that happened’
Are they or aren’t they? That’s the question Bachelor Nation has had since Peter Weber and Kelley Flanagan got flirty outdoors two weeks ago in the middle of a pandemic and then brought their flirting indoors for endless TikToks. And while you might think it’s the former, Weber says they are actually not dating (for now).
“Are we dating? No. Do I love spending time with her? Absolutely,” the former Bachelor said on fellow Bachelor Nick Viall‘s podcast “The Viall Files,” released Tuesday, addressing those dating rumors for the first time. “Could I see that in the future? Yeah, of course. I’d be extremely lucky and very happy if that happened.”
Weber added that he’s “the last person that needs to rush into any kind of relationship. So give him points for self-awareness. “I just had an engagement that didn’t work out. I...

The “Bachelor” franchise is alive and kicking with multiple spin-offs, but former Bachelorette Rachel Lindsay doesn’t believe it can survive and thrive for much longer if it doesn’t make some necessary changes.
In an interview with the Associated Press that was conducted in the fall but not published until this week, after Clare Crawley‘s “Bachelorette” announcement, Lindsay, the first black Bachelorette, called on the franchise to be more diverse.
“If I could change one thing, it’s the show doesn’t reflect the real world,” Lindsay said. “You’re just now having on ‘Bachelor in Paradise’ your same-sex relationship, and they had to bring someone who wasn’t a cast member on the show in to make that happen.”
The attorney was referring to Season 6 of “Bachelor in Paradise,” on which Demi Burnett‘s girlfriend from home, Kristian Haggerty, joined. The pair, who later split, was the...

In a surprise move ex-Bachelorette Hannah Brown returned not once, but twice for the season premiere to throw and emotional wrench into Weber’s first few days of filming.

On Monday night, former star of “The Bachelorette” Hannah Brown won “Dancing With the Stars.” She also, surprisingly, made her return to “The Bachelor” franchise when ABC dropped an explosive trailer for the upcoming season in which Brown unexpectedly shows up to meet with her ex from last season, Peter Weber, the new leading man on “The Bachelor.”
In the trailer, Brown is sitting close to Weber, who asks, “I’m so confused right now. What are you doing here?” Brown replies, “Making decisions for my heart because I know there’s still something there, and I would do anything for a relationship.” Then, against the backdrop of screaming women who are the new contestants of the season, Weber proposes an idea to Brown: “What I’m about to say is extremely crazy — what would you say if I asked you to come be part of the house?”

The early 2000s saw a dating show boom, but while series like Next, Flavor of Love, and Joe Millionaire now just seem like poorly aged relics of the past, the Bachelor franchise is still standing. In fact, it remains among the most popular reality shows on television - but unless producers want the show to suffer the same fate of its contemporaries, they need to make some changes. The Bachelor's traditions and tropes feel dated, upholding conservative values more in line with the generations past than that of the majority of the show's contestants.
Case in point: when the latest Bachelorette Hannah Brown reached the end of her season, her two male finalists both planned to propose to her. She is the star of the show; why wouldn't she be expected to propose (if she wanted to) as the male lead of The Bachelor does? Give the girl a chance...

Finally, after nearly 20 years and hundreds of heterosexual relationships, Bachelor Nation has its first same sex relationship. On last week's episode of Bachelor in Paradise, Demi Burnett reunited with Kristian Haggerty, the woman she had been casually seeing before she left for Mexico, and they quickly threw the casual aspect out the window. Kristian's presence on the show somewhat breaks Paradise's "rules," but as Chris Harrison has said and as Demi reminds us, there aren't really any rules when it comes to Bachelor in Paradise. E!

While reality dating shows like “Love Island UK” and MTV’s “Are You the One?” have embraced Lgbtq+ storylines in recent years, “The Bachelor” franchise, indisputably the blockbuster of the genre, has been far slower to adapt. Which is why a same sex story arc on “Bachelor in Paradise” has been praised by GLAAD and Lgbtq+ fans as groundbreaking. Contestant Demi Burnett came out as bisexual earlier in the season, but it wasn’t until last night that ABC introduced her girlfriend, Kristian Haggerty. Burnett’s storyline marks the franchise’s first inclusion of a same-sex relationship.
“’Bachelor in Paradise’s’ inclusion of Demi Burnett’s coming out story and her journey to accepting her queer identity is groundbreaking for the series,” said GLAAD Head of Talent Anthony Ramos in a statement. “Tens of millions of people around the world watch ’The Bachelor’ and ‘The Bachelorette’ franchises and this move...
