‘Golden Bachelor’ S1 Cast Bios: Gerry, You Up for Some Scuba?!

Here To Make Friends comes to you from The Bell House in Brooklyn for our first ever public live show! We recapped a vintage episode -- the first ever episode of The Bachelor. Along with special guest Alyssa Mastromonaco, we went back in time to 2002. Blade II was number one at the box office, J. Lo and Ja Rule were topping the Billboard Hot 100, and we were introduced to Chris Harrison, the rose ceremony and the most eligible bachelor in America, Alex Michel. After the recap, we played some Bachelor-themed games with a panel of franchise alums, Derek Peth, Michael Garofola, and Sharleen Joynt. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Riga! After last night’s episode, we just want to run out into the streets screaming about how much we want to find love in Riga, Latvia. On week seven of The Bachelorette, Tyler C. continues to be the romance novel protagonist of our dreams, Hannah gets steamy with Peter, and Luke avoids texting and driving and stays in his lane, but then starts drifting into Garrett’s lane after spending too much time looking at the other cars out the window. Here to talk about this with us is E! News editor Tierney Bricker and actress Vella Lovell. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
