"The Bachelor" Season 20, with all-American family man Ben "Unlovable" Higgins at its center, has come to a close. And on "Here To Make Friends," we talk about the show -- for the right reasons.

In this week's "Here To Make Friends" podcast, hosts Claire Fallon and Emma Gray recap the finale of "The Bachelor" Season 20 -- where Ben "Nice Guy" Higgins finds true love ... or at least a giant, ill-advised Neil Lane diamond ring. We'll discuss Ben's big proposal, why Ben's mom is our spirit animal and ABC's sneak attack choice for next Bachelorette.

And we're joined by author, actress and "After Paradise" co-host Jenny Mollen for her expert (and hilarious) insights.

Do people love "The Bachelor," "The Bachelorette" and "Bachelor in Paradise," or do they love to hate these shows? It's unclear. But here at "Here To Make Friends," we both love and love to hate them -- and we love to snarkily dissect each episode in vivid detail. Podcast edited by Nick Offenberg.
