| The October 13 premiere of 'The Bachelorette' season 16 was a lot of things: chaotic, hilarious, sexy (cc: Dale Moss). After night one of seeing 31+ pieces of eye candy parade across our screens trying to woo Bachelorette Clare Crawley with their inventive albeit cheesy entrances, getting into catfights over who’s there for “the right reasons,” and competing for their spot as the next Bachelor, Bach Nation fans may have a few questions about this season’s contestants. Like, who truly *is* there for the right reasons? Why did that one guy dress like Christian Bale in American Psycho? Was it as apparent to the rest of the men on night one that Dale was already going to win? Oh and also, who do these guys vote for? If you’re perplexed by the last question, you really shouldn’t be. The United States is hurtling towards the November 3 presidential election, and this year’s is poised to be one of the most important in the country’s history. There’s a lot up for debate and a lot at stake depending on who’s elected, with many Americans (and Canadians, for that matter) feeling like they’re fighting for their rights. So what does that have to do with Bachelor nation? As it turns out, quite a bit, actually. |
