After spending an intense two months engaging in the Hyperbinge, where they watched every single episode of the bachelor since it’s inception 2002 on 2x speed Lizzy Pace and Chad Kultgen have crafted an incredible history of our beloved game. They’ve broken down the formula of The Bachelor, identifying all of the elements which will help you succeed, along with many of the pitfalls to avoid. They also include scorecards so you can track plays in real time—a great way to enhance your viewership! The granularity and level of detail in this book is nothing less than I would expect from the dynamic duo at Game of Roses podcast.
To read this book, I would definitely recommend doing what I did, which was to treat each bachelor night as my “Bachelor Seminar”, where I would watch the Game of Roses live pre-show, complete my readings of the corresponding chapter to the episode (so if it’s fantasy suites reading the fantasy suites chapter before the episode). Then watch the show, chatting with friend and fellow pit-dweller to discuss gameplay. This is a great way to directly see the strategies elucidated in this book and see them actually applied in real time.
How to Win the Bachelor is the book for you if you’re interested in:
- Going behind the scenes of reality TV
- Pop culture critiques
- Making connections between the media you consume and the broader world and systems around us
Thank you to the Game of Roses team for putting together this incredible analysis and playbook—we savoured your suffering.
