Evie Psarras & Nicole NeSmith are scholars who studied social media in Bachelor Nation. They discussed incredibly interesting findings with Eddie & Lynn including who they studied, the idea of “postfeminist nirvana,” their 5 categories used in their study and what Bachelor Nation contestants are succeeding in these categories. We also get into recruiting for Bachelor shows prior to the social media age vs. now, why reality TV stars are exploited, creating personal brands on Instagram and the art of selling products on Instagram.A truly insightful interview with two world-renown scholars (and big Bachelor Nation fans), let us know what you think about how social media is impacting our favorite show.
