Seen in another, it invites viewers to gawk at people with right-leaning values. Neither mode of watching is particularly pleasurable. Feb 1, 2019 | Full Review… Inkoo Kang Slate Top Critic In case you thought that, after 22 previous seasons of The Bachelor, contestants would run out of ideas for memorable limo arrivals, this episode probably killed that doubt for you Jan 8, 2019 | Full Review… Nicole Pomarico St. Louis Post-Dispatch Top Critic I don't understand what point the producers are trying to make here by having all of these women relay whether or not they've ever had sex. It's just awkward and comes across as a little shame-y. Feb 7, 2019 | Full Review… Caralynn Lippo Tell-Tale TV The virginity jokes were simply an accessory to the three-hour-long episode's main mission: killing time with at least an hour's worth of filler in order to maximize profits on what will surely be one of the season's best-rated nights. Jan 9, 2019 | Full Review… Laura Bradley Vanity Fair Personally, I kind of enjoyed Catherine's brand of bonkers in the first episode. Jan 8, 2019 | Full Review… Laura Hurley CinemaBlend Unfortunately, I think the question asked the entire season will be, "Who is Colton going to lose his virginity to?" Jan 8, 2019 | Full Review… Ashley Iaconetti Cosmopolitan This is a man campaigning to be the Bachelor even as he plays the Bachelor. Jan 8, 2019 | Full Review… Rebecca Farley Refinery29 Not all of Colton's gals made an impression, but the goils who did made a very strong impression indeed. Jan 8, 2019 | Full Review… Liam Mathews TV Guide It's also not a good sign when the majority of the lead-up to the action of the season is the host and the Bachelor sitting around going "A lot of people think that this was a bad decision but it's ... fine?" for 50 minutes. Jan 8, 2019 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review… Ali Barthwell New York Magazine/Vulture Top Critic Take a moment and thank the Reality TV Gods above for Chris Harrison.
