"The Bachelor: Listen to Your Heart": Welcome Distraction or Franchise Flop?

When Bachelor Nation's latest venture was first announced, it was met with a hell of a lot of skepticism. Maybe it was because "Listen to Your Heart" promos began right around the same time that the franchise put out a casting call for "seniors looking for love" and it was during the tail end of what can only be considered a failed season of "The Bachelor" -- nevertheless, no one was really excited. The show, which premiered last night, gathers singles just like its predecessors, but this time, they're all musicians looking to jumpstart their careers. Jed Wyatt jokes aside, the response to last night's inaugural episode was actually not bad! It sounds like "Listen to Your Heart" blends secondhand embarrassment, drama and romance juuust right.
