4d2d anaylsis of each contestant would be Bond level sleuthing.

[@Oceangirl_505]

I Love Sandra! One of my fav moments with her, out of many, was when she was talking about Pickle Ball, which she knew nothing about. "I would like to Dink him or Doog him, it sounds so naughty, What a sport!". And, on another note, BF, I've been communicating with Sandra and told her all about you and your channel. She responded, letting me know that she was having difficulty finding you. Remembering the Face Time incident, I literally typed every single step. When that didn't work, I gave her my number and suggested that she ask her daughter to help her block her number when she calls me. I will keep you posted. Merry Christmas to you and your family!

Charity & Dotun ❤

[@sunflowersentimientos]

I’ll never get over Xavier saying “is it gonna be hard to not cheat? Hell yes” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Like sir what

[@CGA40]

looooool 😅😅

[@crimbleland]

RIGHT my jaw was on the floor with that one

[@peeperfrog3547]

But he wants to "see more!!!!" That was astonishing!

[@peeperfrog3547]

@ sunflowersentimentos- and yes I agree! He acted like he was entitled to it! No sense of loyalty AT ALL!

[@shanandananscoo]

I thought this was some great honesty here that allowed Charity to clearly see this was not a man who was ready for the marriage. Maybe when he's 40, that's my best guess.

[@bt2598]

Gabby was an absolute savage when she said to not pull into the muddy spot when it actually matters when Katie arrives!

[@justiceliberty4364]

Savage? 🤔

[@xoxoBarbiegirl224]

More like iconic!

[@skylaralley2465]

A true girl’s girl

[@codytoads]

ZACH'S SEASON WAS THIS YEAR????? JEEZ WE'VE BEEN THROUGH IT LMAO

[@sophieamandaleitontoomey9343]

Honestly nothing will be funnier than Kat's shouting being so loud in her interview that everyone could hear it on the beach. That shit had me dying.

[@sourpatchkids351]

oh nooooo i completely forgot about how zach’s season ended 😭😭

[@pinksugar8344]

💯 Exactly what I was thinking 😂

[@Cwgrlup]

I hope Zach and Katie get married ❤

[@pixiestxNyomouf]

It's been a LOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNG year

[@elenafort8231]

I did too! I was like ‘huh?!?’

[@collenadoctor3186]

My favourite moment of 2023 was Fantake revealing his beautiful family to us! Pleasant surprise!

[@Oceangirl_505]

YES!

[@laurieemme1534]

Yes, that was such a wonderful surprise!

[@marmartube]

Agree 😊

[@rachelnico]

I never even saw that???

[@robynb9931]

I love how "they're still together at the time of recording" has changed to "at the time of EDITING"😂

[@tigrezangel]

BIP was truly disappointing for me. This was the first time I watched all the episodes and I didn't like any of the couples, the big villain of the season won and Rachel was done very dirty.

[@lmeowkin]

Agreed! Rachel WAS done dirty. I didn't care for any of the end couples. It was a huge disappointment.

[@Kronkgirl]

My heart actually broke when Gabby said don't do that when it actually matters.

[@rosafowler7431]

I am honestly impressed with Jesse’s ability to keep a straight face through all these confessions.

[@yvonnebarnett7979]

I have come to really appreciate him as a host, must be a hard job

[@dahlia1559]

Zach’s zoom call with Greer was pretty wild to me. Was hoping Greer would have a good BIP but she was barely on the show.

[@noleenanthony-bruce3502]

Agreed. I wish she had torn him a new a$$hole because how DARE HE!

[@utopianslay]

That was GREAT TV. Definitely thought he would include the first ever Zoom rose ceremony 😂😂

[@laurieemme1534]

Zach's season seems soooo long ago! My favorite thing about 2023 was Charity & Dotun. Hope they can FINALLY spend some quality time together!

[@sharleenmagetto5051]

Me too🥰🥰🥰they are the best of the best

[@rubysaltzman6942]

xavier really had the audacity!!

[@Jennilynne]

His relationship with audacity might be the only one he's faithful in

[@sungoddess5548]

Tell me about it 😂😂

[@queenofcats9240]

The whole time I thought, “If he and Charity get together, I think they’ll be great and actually get married” but then he literally said that he’s gonna have a hard time being faithful and I immediately yelled out to the TV “CHARITY THROW THAT MAN AWAY!!!!”

[@Oceangirl_505]

And, he is so about himself, he probably still doesn't realize what an ars he truly is. smh

[@furaances]

The Gabi limo exit moment had me SHOOK !!!!!! She KNEW!!

[@justiceliberty4364]

Duh 🙄

[@hannahrule4665]

When Gabi said "don't do that, don't pull up there when it really matters" 😫

[@laurabfromvt6197]

"I am so much better than you. How dare you think you can break up with me?" It was and still is unbelievable.

[@peeperfrog3547]

Agree. Her and Xavier may make a good couple!😂

[@nads_]

I love the exclamation marks over the heads 😂

[@linatime501]

Zach chewing out women he was sending home so he didn't look like the bad guy was wild to me. And it also failed spectacularly and always made him look like the bad guy lol.

[@emileemorgan]

Why does Zach’s season feel like 3 years ago and 3 months ago all at the same time? Like what even was 2023

[@paulojrneto]

After the annus horribilis in the Bachelor franchise that was 2022, anything after would surely be an improvement, and I think we had that in 2023, where apart from that hot mess season of Paradise, the much-needed "back-to-basics" feeling was present. For all Zach's missteps as a lead, his season was a decent watch, Charity's season felt a bit rushed but it was compelling enough and The Golden Bachelor was just was those of us who wanted a truly romance-centered season like in the good old days before social media influencing.

[@sarahvanderwiele9741]

The way Brayden says “hi, you look gorgeous” and got shot down 😭💔

[@tjc2121]

Yeah that showed kat is not a kind person. I know some people like to defend the show's "villains" by bad edits or maybe she was playing it up for the cameras but to flat out ignore someone talking directly to you and walk around them twice just shows her true character. Plus, kat can never be in the wrong. She pulls a uno reverse card and plays the victim....did it with brooklyn, zach, brayden, tanner and probably john henry.

[@nicholasgarrick8855]

Thank you fantake for great recaps ,and being our entertainment all season for the past year happy holiday to your family see next years.

[@shutyourmalfoy]

So happy that Kat and John henry didn't work out, he deserves so much better!

[@tinan1142]

I mean he chose (by his own free will) to be with her so??

[@dondada2959]

Wait what thought they were doing well

[@vanessasmith7662]

I thought they were too​@@dondada2959

[@kenbrien4978]

I say the craziest moment was when BF broke over a hundred thousand hearts at once when he revealed that he was married..lol

You are one of the high points of this guilty pleasure Thanks

[@peeperfrog3547]

Great recap as always! Thanks BF!

[@juliachapman27]

No way “MOLD wine” didn’t make this list

[@peeperfrog3547]

Yes- that was hilarious!

[@emilygisclair]

felt so bad for gabi. i hope she can get some kind of redo

[@dunphy9051]

I hope that happens outside of the franchise

[@hannahjarek4323]

zach made my mom stop watching the franchise with me bc of how awful he did gabi and how they showed it on tv so I’ll never forgive him for that

[@queenofcats9240]

BIP this year really disappointed me. I stopped watching at episode 4. These people are in the same age group as me and they were acting like middle schoolers when it came to romance. My family used to tell me that I should apply for this show once I turn 25, but I feel like I might lose brain cells if I spend even an hour in that beach

[@Kaitlynsfashion]

Honestly I’ve really enjoyed all the leads this year. Even Zach! Everyone makes mistakes… and I know this show must be hard to navigate

[@F1fangirl96]

I completely forgot about Zach 🙃 I honestly watch your content and then forget about it 😅

[@logicallady4342]

4:45 🤣😆🤣😆It does look like Brandon 🤣

[@shanandananscoo]

@BachelorFantake you did not just say "Braggadocious"! LOL!!!!!

[@SheilaOByrne]

really fun recaps... :):)🤩

[@justiceliberty4364]

Most cringe was when Leslie asked Gerry how long it's been since he had sex😬 that was when I knew

[@jbug1979]

"packed but not ready to go" 😂😂😂

[@boomeraang1748]

I only watch bachelor/bachelorette through fantake. However after this season of BIP I think I will also be watching it only on bachelor fantake 😂

[@mellobaliwag8201]

Bip was dissapointing this year but i still wished there was a tell all 😢

[@collenadoctor3186]

For years now I have always looked forward to BIP. The way they managed to spoil this season, it will be a surprise if I ever sit through another season again.

[@poeticeclipse]

Spit out my food when I heard the duck quack

[@sassycritic2227]

This year was interesting. I think besides BIP S9, I found this year of shows to be relatively entertaining. I think with The Golden Bachelor, it leaves a bit of hope for 2024. 8 am looking forward to Joey's season. I hope it is going to focus on the romance

[@pixiestxNyomouf]

Lord, i forgot all about Madison on Night One.....

[@SarahBloom]

The fact that I already forgot who kat ended up with is telling.

[@nicoe242]

Thank you for your service. ❤

[@msbond700]

The Golden ladies were the best💛🌹. Charity and Dotun congratulations 🌹🥂 Charity said 2025🥂❤️. Zach 😬

[@nicholasgarrick8855]

Basically confirms that BIP has jumped the shark ,and need to go or need a complete revamp 😂😭.

[@sophie427]

i had to skip through the zach recap i forgot how painful that was 😭

[@SammyM-kq9op]

But after so many years Zach's season really worked...like finally a bachelor proposing and a good lovestory!! So ill take it as a win despite the complete overnight fiasco!

[@shanandananscoo]

Not wild, but I thought one of the LAMEST things was that BIP spent the entire season teasing a "wedding" at the end of the season... only to drag on some people I didn't know to get re-married. That was so lame and so dumb.

[@alienmartinez459]

It’s like crack 🎉 thanks for the recap !

[@josteau9849]

My prediction how it went down was that JH used that tongue kat was obsessed about and she finally came to her senses they have nothing in common. Like how she hates the ocean and JH literally works in the ocean. Also, total shocker nobody lasted this season. Who would’ve thought

[@janebaker4912]

Zach sleeping with Gabby was so low. Like what a total jerk!

[@logicallady4342]

Can someone tell me how Rachel was done dirty on BIP? Rachel has been given MORE opportunities by the Bachelor franchise then anyone else...next Rachel will be on the Golden Bachelorette

[@estherreyes4461]

You know that when previous Bachelorettes come to the beach, they are treated like queens. Say Becca, for example, or even when they come and host activities, like Hannah B or Katie. Being a Bachelorette has weighr, and the guys in the beach often treated her like a night one elimination.

[@estherreyes4461]

Even in the roast sessions, they took one of her biggest insecurities and just dragged her with it. And no, I am no fan of treating people better than other or heirarchies, but common... She stablished a connection with a guy and he dumped her over a rose from a girl he had a 10 min conversation with. He lost his chance with a bachelorette over a girl most viewers dont even remember. And they did that to Rachel all season long.

[@Oceangirl_505]

She indeed may be on The Golden Bachelor someday, if she gets herself mature by then. However, I wouldn't count on it.

[@logicallady4342]

@@estherreyes4461 How is that Bachelor franchises' issue? People have freedom to want who they want. Rachel needs to retire from dating shows & none of these people are queen's

[@logicallady4342]

@@estherreyes4461 You do realize you seeing 10 min of something is edited, right? These guys weren't into Rachel, frankly I wouldn't be into someone whose been on so many dating shows & dated so many other men...everyone is entitled to choose who they want...she's not a Queen nor are any of the other Bachelorette's

[@pinksugar8344]

Dang!! I sooo wanted the Golden Bachelor "shocking announcement" to be that Theresa was pregnant instead of a Golden Wedding!! #hopingforagoldenbaby #goldenbachelorbaby

[@Blueeyesinthesky]

It’s been a long year lol

[@utopianslay]

You’re the best

[@choosehappy9224]

I don't get why the women were so put off by Zach's "no sex" rule. I feel like a woman on The Bachelorette could say no sex and all the guys would be expected to respect that. Idk, to me it seems like a completely okay thing to establish.

[@Oceangirl_505]

It is, if he had kept his word.

[@sourpatchkids351]

the “no sex” rule was perfectly fine imo! it’s just frustrating that he established it ahead of time and made such a big deal about wanting to stick to that rule so he could avoid drama, only for him to sleep with one of the women and cause even more drama ahaha.

[@imperialbeautee]

I'm surprised the moment with Greer and Zach wasn't brought up he was like really rude to her during an interaction via laptop. She was sick with COVID I believe. VERY awkrawd moment indeed.

[@lizzlocke3130]

Zacks season definitely has the best cast! And I liked the people on BIP I didn't like a lot of the final couples.

[@Farellemoon]

"HERE'S TO A DRAMA FREE 2024" welp, we now know hopes and dreams don't add up to much because wtf even was Jenn's season?

[@Itisthatdeepdives]

Spencer gave me so much anxiety 😭😭😭😭

[@funchik93]

This year in BN was only saved by getting to know youz Chris, have a wife, a kid and another one on the way. Everything elsewas, as you so accurately summed up BIP - lame.

[@erinmariecece]

I just know that the franchise is trying to reach the end of the year with their 3 happy couples. When was the last time that happened???

[@randalwestgard6116]

BIP Canada Season 2 won the year for me.

Was it weird to anyone else that Sam and Peter seemed to be all in on each other, then the last day we're both yea nahh been funn bye

[@MszEveryShot]

Zachs Gabby was so sweet

[@juliedavis7445]

Not enough Charity in this video. She was the best Bachelorette in years

[@tabithajohnston313]

Felt the same when I watched the show . . . and then BIP came and we learned she's BFFs with Kat. Not sure what to think of her, after that revelation!😳

[@bloom4096]

YESSSSS!! 😍😍😍

​@@tabithajohnston313the fact that you believe she was bffs with kat after knowing her for a millisecond...says more about you than it does about Charity

[@evildoesnotsleep-x2b]

zach was so shitty

[@AbigaillOwusu]

Unpopular opinion but Gaby knew Zack didn’t want to have sex, she got him to sleep with her thinking it would make him pick her and he didn’t smh

[@sophieamandaleitontoomey9343]

It takes two to tango and it’s not like it wasn’t consensual. And she also wasn’t the person who didn’t follow his own rule. Zach was the one to publicly state no sex and then for whatever reason, changed his mind and had sex with Gabby. This narrative of Gabby being a siren is really disgusting and inaccurate when Zach is a grown man who can make his own decisions. And again, he made that statement, not Gabby so to hold her to the standard he failed to set is unfair. Again if you’re going to make a public statement of no sex, you need to follow through with it.

[@justiceliberty4364]

That is utter nonsense ‼️ that makes me so mad 😡 when people put other people down when you have no idea
