Oh my god, I know, he literally looks like he could be a contestant on the show.

Oh my god, I know, he literally looks like he could be a contestant on the show.

He looks younger than the entire cast.

He looks younger than the entire cast.

Yeah, he does.

Yeah, he does.

I was like, when he's talking to trist I'm like, oh, this actually makes sense.

I was like, when he's talking to trist I'm like, oh, this actually makes sense.

I wonder how old he was. We should have checked at the time when he was hosting that season.

I wonder how old he was. We should have checked at the time when he was hosting that season.

I want to say, it looks like.

I want to say, it looks like.

He's like, he looks like he's in his late twenties, early thirties.

He's like, he looks like he's in his late twenties, early thirties.

Yeah, I want to say I think I think, and I could be wrong. I feel like I may have looked this up in the past. I think he was like twenty nine when he hosted the first season ever.

Yeah, I want to say I think I think, and I could be wrong. I feel like I may have looked this up in the past. I think he was like twenty nine when he hosted the first season ever.

Okay, so he's he's probably in his mid to late thirties.

One hundred percent he could have been on the cast, I mean at that age, So it makes sense.

One hundred percent he could have been on the cast, I mean at that age, So it makes sense.

How do you feel about like, Okay, so, like Jesse Palmer's obviously older than everyone. Do you think that is let's say, let's say Jesse quit tomorrow. Do you think that is a must that the host needs to be older or do you think like you could mix in somebody who's like thirty Hmmmm. It does seem weird because I feel like I feel like I feel like watching it now, it feels normal for the host to be older.

It does seem weird because I feel like I feel like I feel like watching it now, it feels normal for the host to be older.

Well, I think at the time when it was just the Bachelor, it made sense to have a guy who was like kind of the same age as the Bachelor hosting the show. But why just like for like relatability and for them to like, you know, bond over it, get along vibe. I don't know. But and I also think you know, him getting hired at twenty seven, there was so much longevity to the franchise, like he was able to host like if they hired a seventy year old right out of the gate. Like yeah, but you know what I'm saying. But I do think that now, especially with Bachelor at like, it's weird seeing him and all the guys because it's like, well, you could be one of the cast members versus when he's hosting Bachelor and it's all the girls. I just feel like it's a little bit different. I think it doesn't really matter, but I think Jesse Palmer's like a good age for you know, it's like father Jesse, like uncle Jesse.

Well, I think at the time when it was just the Bachelor, it made sense to have a guy who was like kind of the same age as the Bachelor hosting the show.

I agree. I agree, he's not that much.

I agree. I agree, he's not that much.

Older than them, to be honest, Uncle and father a little bit of a strong word, but you know what I'm saying, older brother, older brother, brother Jesse. I like that. Yeah, it's giving brother Jesse.

Older than them, to be honest, Uncle and father a little bit of a strong word, but you know what I'm saying, older brother, older brother, brother Jesse. I like that. Yeah, it's giving brother Jesse.

Okay, So first thing, First things first, Trista, I do I actually really I like the way the beginning was because we almost have like this this recap of Trista's life. I don't do they do that as much anymore.

Okay, So first thing, First things first, Trista, I do I actually really I like the way the beginning was because we almost have like this this recap of Trista's life. I don't do they do that as much anymore.

They do do it? I mean, like we saw with Hannah Brown's. They had an intra package talking about her and you know what she did for a living. But I feel like the inter packages now are more focused on, like what their journey within the franchise has been, So it's like, you know what happened when they got their heartbroken and where are they now. With Trista's, it kind of felt like a documentary opening, like you have like Chris Harrison like narrative, like Trista Sutter from X y Z working as a pediatrician, Like it just.

Well, I feel like I know so much about her now, like, yeah, she was a Miami cheerleader, she is a pediatrician, got her.

Whole resume almost like her career history, her school history. They really gave you the full package. I actually did like that they had a clip of her mom talking, So I do feel like we have the packages now for the lead. But I think that they went more into depth into her and her life than maybe they have in the past.

I actually did like that they had a clip of her mom talking, So I do feel like we have the packages now for the lead.

I think careers used to be a much bigger deal on this show.

I think careers used to be a much bigger deal on this show.

One hundred percent. They talked so much about people's careers, whereas now I feel like they focused on people's dating history. Yeah, it's like what was your history and relationship with love and how is that going to impact your journey to find your future person. Whereas you see such an emphasis even the guys talking about their career and asking trist about their career.

Yeah, it's like what was your history and relationship with love and how is that going to impact your journey to find your future person.

Well, I think it was I think that time it was much more like it was more important what you did for a living, Like your partner really was like the person you dated, Like, yeah, it was an attraction thing.

Well, I think it was I think that time it was much more like it was more important what you did for a living, Like your partner really was like the person you dated, Like, yeah, it was an attraction thing.

Yeah, I mean, I still think career is a part of like choosing your partner to an extent, but I think it was bigger at that time. I also think it's the first time they're having bachelorette, but I think that the concept of like the man being the provider for the family was still being pushed at that time. Yeah strongly. I mean, like Trista's got an incredibly successful career, but you can see the guys like this is what I do. Like they are almost giving like their sales pitch of themselves and their intro packages, and all of them are starting with like I'm very good at what I do. I'm very successful, I make a lot of money. Like it's this like I am here to be the provider of the family energy, which I just don't think you see as much anymore. And I also think you see a lot of guys coming on like still trying to like figure their shit out with their careers.

Yeah, I mean, I still think career is a part of like choosing your partner to an extent, but I think it was bigger at that time.

Especially I'm sure the fans that I mean, I wasn't watching the show when Trista was about Shratt, but I can imagine, like there's so many fans out there that have watched from like day one, and it kind of makes sense why there is that energy of like get a real job, because like these guys are coming on with these like full careers that they have to go back to, like there's no alternative career path for them from this show, whereas now, I mean, like you can go onto other reality shows, like you can go onto other reality dating shows if you don't end up with that person.

Well, the one hour for this intro was. It felt fast though, because I didn't really feel like I got to know any of the guys.

Well, the one hour for this intro was. It felt fast though, because I didn't really feel like I got to know any of the guys.

But I think I think the the first episode of every season should.

I wonder what season they started bringing in more like silly, gimmicky entrances.

I wonder what season they started bringing in more like silly, gimmicky entrances.

Well, okay, so we do see. So it's twenty five guys for trist the season and they cut ten. Yeah, so the season gets cut down to fifteen. Now we I'm not mad about no me neither. But we generally get like twenty eight to thirty men, yep, or twenty eight to thirty one.

And it get's cut down to like twenty three.

And it get's cut down to like twenty three.

Usually it's only I think for for my season, there was four guys that went home, maybe five that went home night one, and I think we had thirty something guys, so yeah, that's yeah, so there's just more guys that stick around.

Well, that's I think the biggest part is like the gimmicks and the intro packages and all that is what allows you to get to know these people, and because there's going to be so many of them, you kind of need it. Whereas like the first episode, I feel like for this it's like gets it's really more about get to know Trista and a few of the guys yea. And they're right away. They're at like Chris Harrison is saying, who are your top dudes? And she's like listing off.

Now you could see, I mean you said it as we as we watch, but you could tell Trista is really into Ryan right out of the level. The way she's like staring at him, you can't see a spark.

It's like, yeah, there's always something where that happens night one, but it always kind of like sticks out. Yeah, but there was just no time for it. And I also think this was a time where like people were really concerned about how they like came across. I think people still are, but I think like personality gets in a way rewarded and like your authentic personality is really encouraged. Yeah, whereas like these guys, I don't know, there's like real copy paste energy with them, Like they all look the same, everyone's wearing the same suit, everyone's got similar ask not everyone, but a lot of similar esque jobs. It feels like they're saying a lot of the same things. Like I think there was like a perfect guy mold that like everyone's kind of trying to fit into. And I would bet that it was the same with the female contescence on The Bachelor early on, Whereas now I feel like everyone leans more into their own like individuality and that's why we see more like crazy things happened Night one.

It's like what you do in your personal time, on your social media, on your TikTok, like can really only impact your job so much because like everyone's doing it, like everyone has a life outside of work.
