As you may have heard, 'The Bachelor' franchise has just produced a new show called 'Listen to Your Heart'. This show works similarly to 'Bachelor in Paradise', although the difference is that every contestant on the show is a musician. I was skeptical of the show ever since it was first announced, but I couldn't help but watch the first episode to try and figure out how all of it was going to work. So, here are my five key takeaways from the first ever episode of 'Listen to Your Heart'.
1. There is going to be A LOT of drama.
As with any 'Bachelor' show, there's bound to be some drama. And since this set-up is almost identical to 'Bachelor in Paradise', it's practically made for that very purpose. Already, we've seen a love triangle, a guy "miscommunicating" his feelings and leaving a girl confused, and some shocking picks in the rose ceremony. The rest of the season is sure to be just as eventful.
2. The dates are going to be AMAZING.
Since every contestant on the show is a musician, the dates are bound to be centered around music, which means we're sure to see some big-name celebrities. In the first episode, the dates already included recording the song "Gravity" by John Mayer in the studio with Mayer's Grammy-nominated producer John Alagia as well as a private concert by the Plain White T's. I'm sure other dates are going to be just as exciting.
3. Team Trevor? Or Team Ryan?
As I mentioned before, we've already seen a love triangle form in just one episode of the show. So inevitably, Bachelor Nation has begun taking sides. Personally, I'm Team Trevor, but I know a lot of other fans are on the other side. Who knows, maybe I'll end up liking Ryan more than Trevor as the season progresses.
4. Some parts are going to be just as cringe-y as we thought.
Let's start with Michael Todd saying "I like your lips" in hopes of getting a first kiss. Definitely the most cringe-worthy part of the first episode, and there's only going to be much more in the coming episodes.
5. Being a good singer isn’t going to impress anyone, for once.
It occurred to me while watching the show that in every other dating situation, being a musician has probably made these contestants stand out significantly to whoever they were trying to impress. But since everyone on the show is a musician, having musical talent ISN'T the most impressive thing about any contestant anymore. They all share in the same skillset, for the most part, so finding ways to stick out and make themselves interesting may prove to be difficult for some of them.
Of course, there's still a lot more to come in the next episodes of 'Listen to Your Heart', but this first episode lived up to all 'Bachelor' expectations in giving us a little bit of awkwardness and a whole lot of drama. I'm still a little bit skeptical, but I can't wait to see what the rest of the season has in store for each of these contestants, and I hope to see some couples in love by the end.
