Bachelor contestants who can't stop showing up on the franchise

Bachelor contestants who can't stop showing up on the franchise The Bachelor franchise, in theory, is all about finding love. Not everyone gets it right the first time, so the franchise also employs the "if at first you don't succeed" mentality. For many, especially contestants-turned-leads, this works out in their favor. However, some people try, try again one too many times for fans' liking. The addition of Bachelor in Paradise opens up a plethora of options for contestants, and there's defi

2019's most unique baby boy names

Who doesn't love a unique baby boy name? At the beginning of 2019, plenty of people were speculating about which baby boy names were going to be taking over the country. After all, the years of Liam, Aiden, and Jackson dominating the minds and imaginations of parents would soon be behind us. The 2010s were actually a sign of a big shift in parents' attitudes in naming. Laura Wattenberg, founder of the site Baby Name Wizard, said in an interview with Quartz, "I think in past generations, parents

Fashion trends that are going to take over 2020

Fashion trends that are going to take over 2020 With fashion trends changing so rapidly, it can be hard to keep up. And, of course, you have to consider your personal taste before you fall down the rabbit hole of what's "in." Just because an ensemble makes it on the runway, that doesn't necessarily mean you'll want to wear it. Nevertheless, 2020 promises such a diverse lineup of looks that you're bound to want to embrace at least one of the trends. Still, this doesn't mean you'll need to compl

Ranking Friends couples from worst to best

To Dr. Barry Farber's credit, if he and Rachel were never an item, the show would never have started. Sure, getting left at the altar was pretty bad, but it turns out that he had been cheating on Rachel with Mindy, her best friend and maid of honor, so he couldn't have been too heartbroken. After all, he went on the honeymoon with Mindy, who he would then cheat on again with Rachel... We later find out in the Season 6 episode "The One That Could Have Been" that if Rachel had married Barry, he w

Celine Dion's son has grown up to be gorgeous

The Bachelor franchise: False things you can stop believing about the shows

The Bachelor franchise: False things you can stop believing about the shows The Bachelor franchise has become a staple of not just reality TV, but television in general. It makes the absolute insanity of dating over 20 people in order to propose to one after a month or two into a romantic journey full of drama and love… hopefully. The show is insular in a way, by casting the lead from a pool of previous contestants. The leads become sort of recurring characters in this strange reality TV world.

The complicated history of corsets

Kim Kardashian donned a corset as she walked the 2019 Met Gala red carpet, highlighting her famous curves and once again shocking the public. In a behind-the-scenes video with Vogue, the reality TV star revealed just how strenuous wearing the tightly laced corset was. "Okay, so Anna, if I don't sit down for dinner, now you know why. I'll be walking around mingling, talking, but I cannot hardly sit," she stated, addressing the magazine's editor-in-chief Anna Wintour in the video. Kardashian isn'

Unique baby names your kid won't hate as an adult

Unique baby names your kid won't hate as an adult Everyone wants their kid to be special, and for some, that starts with giving them a special name. The eras of Sarah, Jessica, and Emily reigning supreme are behind us. In an interview with Quartz, Laura Wattenberg, founder of the site Baby Name Wizard, said, "I think in past generations, parents were much more concerned about their kids' names fitting in. But in the past 20 years, the focus has been 100% on standing out. Parents are really, rea

Secret things men do that women actually find attractive

Secret things men do that women actually find attractive Contrary to popular belief, men and women are from the same species. Yet, for whatever reason, there's a great deal of confusion on both parts on how to attract the other. There's plenty of information out there on what someone should do to get the girl at the end. We all know the basics: have a good sense of humor, be confident, actively listen, all that good stuff. There are still some things, though, that not even women might realize t

Why the 'perfect body type' is always changing

One would think that what is healthy would be an objective fact, but that's not always the case. It is more what is perceived as healthy that shapes our attitudes about certain body shapes. Psychologist Devendra Singh of the University of Texas told Live Science in an interview, "The idea is that beauty is conveying information about health and fertility, and we admire that." In times of great need, like the Great Depression, appearing too thin was looked down upon, and a more fuller form was pr
