The Bachelor: California Dreaming (or Delaying)
So, you're a Bachelor Nation devotee living the sweet California dream, huh? Sun, surf, and seriously good avocados. But when it comes to watching your favorite reality show, you're probably wondering, "Why, oh why, does the East Coast get to see all the drama before me?"
The Bachelor: A West Coast Waiting Game
Let's face it, California is a state of mind, not a time zone. While the rest of the country is glued to their screens, sipping wine (or questionable cocktails), and gasping at the latest rose ceremony, we Golden State residents are left twiddling our thumbs. It's like being in the ultimate spoiler-free zone, but in the least fun way possible.
What Time Does The Bachelor Actually Air in California?
The cruel truth is, The Bachelor typically airs at 8 PM Eastern Time. That means for us Cali folks, it's a sweet 5 PM our time. So, while the sun is still shining bright and you're probably more interested in tacos than dramatic proposals, the Bachelor is already making outlandish promises and breaking hearts.
