Every once in a while, a show comes along that redefines how we watch TV and the ways in which we talk about it. The Bachelor franchise, which debuted more than 15 years ago in March 2002, is one such show. Average Joe’s (and we don’t just mean those of thevariety) and Jane’s (or perhaps more fittingly,) come out of the woodwork to vie for the love and attention of the titular bachelor or bachelorette. For those who are, a lot of regular, everyday phrases like “journey” or “cocktail party” have taken on new meaning over the years, but for those who have been intrigued yet dubious about the hot mess of drama, tears, and redemption that is the Bachelor franchise, these words don’t hold quite the same weight.
