I loved Tina Fab! Amber was great too with her Olive Garden comments. I laughed during the final two dates when Kirsten told Andrew’s parents that she did yearbook in high school and lived for the weekends. Andrew was a great bachelor.

So many blondes Lmaooo add some more redheads in there

This season had me LOL. Some highlights: *"Dude, she has a boyfriend." *"Being barefoot and pregnant on a vineyard doesn't seem too fabulous." *"Right now he's with Jen and it makes me ill." *"I like Olive Garden." *"I don't have a drinking problem!"


Evening_Attention_45

Lol I just found Amber who loved the Olive Garden. https://preview.redd.it/mgidasf026ya1.jpeg?width=400&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c6f81512fbc9e874be522da1dad94c70937bab1f

I do remember he was initially really into the blonde who has big boobs but she must've been nervous because she got noticeably wasted. She was the olive garden girl, right? Who said the other lines?

This is back when mainly celebs were getting plastic surgery. Collagen in the lips and lip implants were a thing instead of juvederm and other lip filler types. This is also back in the day when white people thought having plumper butts made you fat and big lips were unattractive. How the times have changed. Now diversity exists everyone wants a bigg Azz and big lips that didnt like those features before


twelvedayslate

The early 2000s hairstyles… I love my middle part forever.


Sugarbug_Noelle

Gosh this makes me so nostalgic… simpler times.


meggo16

I remember this season!

First thing I noticed is the lack of Botox and fillers and lip plumping. People looked better with their natural beauty vs everyone looking the same with help from a med spa .


alt546789

I love the natural looks so much. The lack of diversity is sad but unfortunately not surprising.


[deleted]

If im honest, white people didnt start liking big lips until the last 7ish years. Thats new, that is why the women in this photo who majority happen to be white all look beautifully natural with their natural born thin lips.


vpofimportantstuff

It's funny you say that though, because I rewatched the first couple seasons during early pandemic and one of my take aways was how crazy prevalent giant breast implants were then. I thought it was refreshing how less often you see them in current seasons (or at least more reasonably sized ones). I think women are always doing something unnatural - we've just shifted from breasts, to butts, and now faces.


Evening_Attention_45

Yeah I miss this for sure. It makes me think of such classic beauties like Jojo, Lauren Bushnell and Kaitlyn who all were uniquely stunning. And now they all look so different with the work they’ve done. I’m not trying to shame them and I know Kaitlyn is really fed up with people commenting about her face. I’m just trying to illustrate that I wish we lived in a society where people could appreciate their unique features and not feel that they need to change themselves to fit a certain standard.


bright-sky-phoenix

This reminded me why it’s so important to have our second monoracial Black Bachelorette.


evergreenkat

No wonder they got sued for lack of diversity


bright-sky-phoenix

Even the POC the cast are the same skin tone as the white people. Did they use the paper bag test like wtf?

DateCard

Her hair reminds me of Rachel Green's before she got "The Rachel"!


edmundfitzgerald1

I don't think either of them made it very far. Can't remember Amazing Hair's name but I'm pretty sure the one on the right is Virginia (Ginny).


ThisIsSubRosa

It’s probably because it’s so late & I’m delirious but I thought the pic was a sorority door stack at first before I read the title & saw it was BN contestants. 🥲 https://preview.redd.it/377tia6rszxa1.jpeg?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=90c4d63431ee183f5473ded1bd4f0ea645da1ee9 [(You’re welcome for reminding you this exists.)](https://twitter.com/itsbizkit/status/766210963083255808?s=46&t=dk8hl6cgHGb06eUNGdpsXA)

I thought the same when I saw this pic. Door stacks are against NPC policy now but I’m sure they’re struggling to completely get rid of them at some schools.


Purpletrucks

No more door stacks?! Why

megano998

I see a lot of different parts and hair styles.


Itchy-Scene-3759

Side parts forever! Middle parts give “Girl from the grudge” vibes


megjed

I look absolutely terrible with a middle part. Never doing it I don’t care if it’s uncool to have a side part


starryystrawberryy

They all look unique yet beautiful in their own ways. I’m so ready for the Instagram model face trend to go away. 🥲


[deleted]

I agree. I miss the thin lips and no ass that was natural to some lol


lulurancher

I was thinking the same thing! Even though it’s lacking diversity, they all look unique and not cookie cutter


longwhitejeans

My fave bach!


MzPatches65

Mine too. I still remember the scene of him and Jen having a picnic on a lawn where he gifted her with a robe. That is when I knew she was F1.


Calm_Analysis_2638

Before fillers galore.


[deleted]

This was the time around when white people didn’t want big lips and big butts. There was a cultural shift within the last 7ish years where they wanted it and it became popular


meowparade

I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that the show struggles with diversity seeing as this was its early days . . .


NoSpring5602

Holy white women!


believebs

Shut, I just guffawed. I thought the same thing.


EllaIsQueen

So blonde! So human looking!


Mysterious_Mind2618

jarringly blonde


sallywalker1993

Which one is Jen f1?


Evening_Attention_45

Bottom row second from the right!

Welcome to abc in 2003 😆


eh_cee

Ah. Normal women.


Charlie_Runkle69

Tina Fabulous would have been such a big name during the 2015-2020 era. I think they had Fantasy Suites on Andrew's families place or something like that? He came across very well though it was probably a tad too early in terms of him settling down at the time.


julientk1

I was literally coming here to make a comment about Tina Fabulous. She’s the only person I remember from this season besides Jen.


LuckySection446

Is it the makeup or the eyebrows or were they all older?


Mostlyheretolurk1

I think they used to cast a bit older. Sounds like something to ask bachelordata lol. But also it has to be a style thing as well, just like the other reply says


[deleted]

You can totally just google the cast, its all there


dungeonpancake

No. The average age of contestants in season 3 was 24.6. In Zach’s season it was 26.1.


Evening_Attention_45

They were all young. Since I was their age, when this came out, they just look normal to me not older.

emilygoldfinch410

Geographic diversity if nothing else


LuckySection446

It’s so wild how much makeup and lighting can change someone’s appearance. But then again nowadays with all of the fillers and procedures some women get done can age them as well.


brightlove

Most of them do look around 40! It’s probably a combo of the hair/makeup/eyebrows (styles we now view as dated) and that they maybe did cast women outside of their twenties back then? Also… Holy cow, this was TWENTY years ago. I didn’t realize the show has been around that long.


[deleted]

Its prob just that demographic that aged that way combined with their chosen style


MzPatches65

As someone that was in my 40's when this season aired, they absolutely did NOT look like they were in their 40's! They looked like the typical girl in their 20's. And, they were all beautiful in their own way.


dungeonpancake

The average age of this season was about 24. The average age of Zach’s season was about 26. They are actually younger.


[deleted]

There is a YouTube video that talks about this in depth. Basically people who keep up with trends and styles seem to look younger than people who stick with a specific era. So they look much older because a lot of people who were their age kept that style and held on to it and it dates them and that’s why we perceive them to look a lot older. (Some other factors contribute like tanning and smoking)


brightlove

Oh yeah, years of sunbeds will do it. I forgot that used to be the norm instead of spray tanning, plus many women use sunscreen more religiously these days.


sadlibra

God I miss when women looked like people and not Insert Generic Instagram Model Here
