The Bachelor Recap: How Did My Ex Get to Peru?

We are one week out from the shocking finale to this controversial season of The Bachelor. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Chris Harrison (UGH), try to make this season seem less boring than it is. The women have told all and one of them is already moving on to sunnier things, but we still have one cool lady and two forgettable ones to think about. Will Arie find his happy ending? Or will a totally mysterious figure from one of their pasts spoil this whole thing? Please. Spoil. This. Whole. Thing.

Arie first takes Kendall to the desert to ride a dune buggy. This is ideal as Kendall is super cool and really into the idea of this Mad Max adventure. They sand surf, they make out, they have a picnic, and it’s all very lovely, but Kendall’s still not all the way there with this relationship. And of course she isn’t! Arie’s a boring dude who’s more sporty than adventurous, and Kendall is an actually interesting person who wants to find someone to go with her into the great unknown. Arie probably doesn’t even know how to spell “unknown.” Kendall gets more comfortable as the day progresses and eventually feels comfortable going to the Fantasy Suite with Arie to “talk all night.”

If you want to take a mid-show nap, look no further than the last surviving Lauren’s day with Arie. They look at the Nazca Lines, which are these fun geoglyphs in the shapes of different animals, and Lauren’s all, “Oh. Wow.” Take Lauren on a date to get a plain white piece of toast and you’ll save some money. Lauren later tells him that she sometimes wants to give up because he’s still dating other women. Arie’s disappointed but reassures her by saying he loves her. Once they talk and agree to go to the Fantasy Suite, they slowly walk there as “How Do I Live,” the love theme to Con Air, plays in the background. Nicolas Cage deserves better. The two exchange “I love yous” the next morning and now you can wake up from napping.

Arie goes on a boat ride with Becca, who’s dying to tell him she loves him for his salt-and-peppered handsomeness, his goofy boringness, and his Les Miserables tattoo. She talks about her ex a lot on this date and in her interviews, so this ex must be of totally no consequence, right? Gee, I hope so. At dinner, Becca tells Arie that she’s loved him since their hometown date and he tells her that he loves her, too. They, of course, go to the Fantasy Suite, a tent in this situation, to just say “I love you,” over and over again, I’m sure.

Becca’s feeling pretty great the next day, having found her life partner and the father of her children. She hasn’t felt this way since her ex. Why on earth would she be talking so much about her ex? Oh, wait, there’s her ex. Ross has discovered that Becca is on the show and that it ends in a proposal and he’ll have none of that! Arie’s upset but tells Ross that he can talk to Becca and has to respect her decision. When Ross does go to Becca, she asks how he knew she was there and how he got there. He reached out to producers and they flew him out there. Duh. “I knew you would do this,” she says. Sure, we did, too. We saw the ads. Ross talks for a very long time about how much he feels for her, and Becca dismisses it. After seeing bits of this confrontation over the course of the season, there’s nothing shocking or interesting here. Just a sad attempt to make this boring season “controversial.”

Becca goes to Arie and tells him that he shouldn’t question whether or not she loves him and wants to be with him, because Ross is clearly the worst. Both Arie and the editors of the show make it seem like he’s conflicted about Becca, and we get another rose ceremony where he asks Kendall to talk. Becca says, “This is an ongoing theme.” Lauren says, “I’m gonna throw up.” Lauren. Are you really going to fret your way to winning this whole thing? We then speed to the inevitable as Arie tells Kendall that he doesn’t think they could take it all the way. Kendall departs gracefully and laments that she couldn’t get to the point where she said she loved him, but don’t worry, Kendall! There’s a weirdo out there for you. Maybe even, like, 29 weirdos this summer on ABC?!?

After Emily in Paris season 3 dropped on Netflix in December of 2022, we were hoping to get the fourth installment of the hit show in 2023. But production was halted when the WGA writers' strike, then the SAG-AFTRA actors' strike went to affect. But with the end of the writers' strike, and new SAG negotiations, Emily in Paris season 4 is finally in production as of February 2024 — and there's sure to be plenty of drama and French fashion. Here's everything we know about the upcoming season of your favorite TV brain candy!!

Is Emily in Paris season 4 coming soon?

Image via Lily Collins/Instagram

Via Variety, Emily in Paris season 4 began production in Paris the week of January 15! "Did someone say Saison Quatre?!" Lily Collins says in her Instagram post announcing production. "Finally reunited with my @emilyinparis fam back in Paris and it feels so good. Although, I may need to brush up on my selfie skills for Emily’s sake…"

But this year won't be a normal year of filming for the show (although, because of COVID, what does "normal filming" even mean anymore?). Because of the 2024 Paris Olympics, all filming in the city will be shut down from June to September. Netflix's co-CEO just spilled on the release date (via The Hollywood Reporter) and great news — it's sooner than I expected! Alongside the new seasons of Squid Game and Outer Banks, we'll see Emily in Paris season 4 before the end of the year. I'm hoping for a fall release because Emily in Paris is the perfect escapist show for hibernation season.

Is Emily in Paris filmed in Paris?

Image via Netflix

Yes, Emily in Paris is filmed on location in Paris! We got our first look at Emily in Paris season 4 when Lily Collins and Ashley Park were seen filming in the City of Love (via Daily Mail). The costumes for the series are still as bold and bright as ever, with Ashley's Mindy wearing cobalt and metallic boots, and Lily's Emily dressed head-to-toe in lemon yellow. I can't wait to see what these best friends get up to this season! Check out our Paris travel recommendations to live out your own Emily in Paris dreams ;).

What's Emily In Paris season 4 about?

Image via Netflix

Season 3 left us with a huge cliffhanger: Alfie breaks up with Emily, Camille learns she's pregnant with Gabriel's baby, Benoit's "Mon Soleil" has been chosen for the Eurovision Song Contest, and Emily and Gabriel realize they've been in love with each other the whole time. Whew.

Emily in Paris season 4 will have a ton of cliffhangers to bring full circle, and a bunch of damage that all the characters need to heal. We know from the Netflix TUDUM fan event that we might also see Emily have to deal with an ultimatum head-on, as well as an unexpected twist. Plus, it looks like she's heading on a "Roman holiday," according to lead actress Lily Collins. We'll take any nod to an Audrey Hepburn movie, please and thank you!

Is Alfie coming back in season 4 of Emily in Paris?

Image via Netflix

We don't have *official* word on whether Alfie (played by Lucien Laviscount) will return for Emily in Paris season 4, but we're hoping for his sake that he gets some closure. Lucien wants to come back as well! "[The dream is] to keep this gravy train going and just to kind of really live in this world a little bit longer," he says in an interview with Elle. " The writers on the show and the creators behind it and everyone that comes into contact with it is so amazing and fantastic. Their minds [have] way, way, way, way surpassed mine. So, yeah. I’ll let them do their thing.”

Who else is in the Emily in Paris season 4 cast?

Image via Netflix

We can expect the rest of the cast — Lily Collins as Emily, Lucas Bravo as Gabriel, Ashley Park as Mindy, Camille Razat as Camille, Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu as Sylvie, Samuel Arnold as Julian, and Bruno Gouery as Luc — to return.

Will there be a season 5 of Emily in Paris?

Image via Marie Etchegoyen/Netflix

It looks like Emily in Paris season 4 will not be the final season, according to creator Darren Star. “There’s a lot more story to tell here and we’re not wrapping things up anytime soon,” Star tells Elle. “And also hopefully season four isn’t the end either. I feel like we’re all creatively feeling like we’re in the middle of something not heading towards the end.”

Darren also told Deadline season 4 is "not necessarily conceived as a final chapter. I think like every other show, it’s a rich ensemble. There’s no end in sight until everybody feels like it’s time to end. And I don’t think this show is limited by a number of seasons, I think it’s limited by everybody’s enthusiasm and excitement about doing it and telling stories about these characters."

We'll take as many seasons of Emily in Paris as they'll give us!!

What has the cast said about Emily in Paris season 4?

Image via Marie Etchegoyen/Netflix

Lucas Bravo told People he's excited for a coming-of-age for Gabriel. "When you start a character, then there's a year where you experience the world and you mature, you become another person and you come back and it's exactly the day you left off," he says. "I'm happy that in season four I'll be able to bring more of what I became and what I've experienced in the past four years."

Even though Lily Collins is now an executive producer, she doesn't want to know *too* much about the future of the show. “Darren and I speak, on occasion, about where he’s thinking of going, but he also doesn’t wanna spoil too much for me because there is a fine line,” she tells Collider. “I don’t wanna know everything because I want to be led with the writing, but I am also curious because, as a producer wanting to celebrate the other characters, I’m very curious to see what their trajectories are."

After keeping up with Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce's rom-com love story, and listening to Taylor Swift's songs about Travis on repeat, there is one question on my mind: when are Taylor and Travis going to make their red carpet debut?! My fingers are crossed for the 2024 Met Gala (which is happening May 6, FYI). Not only would it make total sense for Taylor Swift to show up at the Met Gala since she's having the biggest year, like, ever, but the fact the theme is all about the beauty, emotion, and complexity of time makes so much sense when you listen to The Tortured Poets Department. Here's everything we know about Taylor's potential return to the Met Gala.

Was Taylor Swift invited to the Met Gala this year?

Image via Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images

Yes, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce were reportedly invited to the Met Gala for 2024. This event is one of the biggest nights of the year — and it's also one of the hottest tickets in town. Considering both Taylor and Travis are on top of the world, the Met Gala would be the perfect place to make their relationship red carpet official.

The 2024 Met Gala theme is "The Garden of Time." If I were dressing Taylor, I would choose a look inspired by her song "I Hate It Here," which features a ton of imagery from The Secret Garden. "I hate it here so I will go to secret gardens in my mind," she sings. A floral dress in shades of green, pink, and white, especially when paired with clock accessories? Come on!

However, a TMZ source has said the couple declined their invitations and won't be at the event in New York City. It would make sense for them to skip considering Taylor Swift's Eras Tour restarts in Paris that week. However, I definitely think they could make it work — after all, she did fly from Tokyo to Las Vegas for the Super Bowl.

Why did Taylor Swift did not attend Met Gala?

Image via Larry Busacca/Getty Images

Taylor Swift hasn't attended the Met Gala since 2016. The theme was "Manus x Machina: Fashion In An Age Of Technology," and this look is definitely her most daring yet. With the bleached hair (which Swifties have dubbed "Bleachella"), the silver snakeskin dress, and the edgy cutouts, Taylor definitely made a statement.

But considering 2016-2017 was the beginning of her Reputation era, when the entire world seemingly turned on her, it makes sense why she hasn't shown up to any Met Galas since. It's also why showing up to the 2024 Met Gala ahead of Reputation (Taylor's Version) would be the perfect way to show she's reclaimed her life!

Who did Taylor Swift meet at Met Gala?

Image via Larry Busacca/Getty Images

Taylor Swift, who was dating Calvin Harris at the time, met Tom Hiddleston around the time of the 2016 Met Gala. She also met Joe Alwyn (her most recent ex) that night. She actually sings about it in "Dress" and says, "flashback when you met me // your buzzcut and my hair bleached" (Joe had a buzzcut at the time and Taylor's hair was bleached!).

When did Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce start dating?

Image via Stephen Lovekin/Getty Images

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce started publicly dating in September of 2023. However, Taylor revealed in her recent TIME interview they were already official by the time she showed up to support him IRL.

"We actually had a significant amount of time that no one knew, which I’m grateful for, because we got to get to know each other," she says in the interview. "By the time I went to that first game, we were a couple. I think some people think that they saw our first date at that game? We would never be psychotic enough to hard launch a first date."

What is Taylor Swift's longest relationship?

Image via Stephen Lovekin/Getty Images

Taylor Swift's longest relationship is with Joe Alwyn, whom she dated for six years. They were together from 2016 until 2023.

The Real Housewives of New York Cityseason 14 and Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: RHONY Legacywere seasons for the books. We got a peak into the lives of New York's rich and famous, both past and present, and to nobody's surprise...we want more! This long-standing, well-loved franchise saw a lot in its heyday — I mean, just look at what happened when they put the OGs together for one trip — and it continues to thrill audiences with new fabulous faces. But what can we expect from a new season of RHONY? With rumors swirling about who's set to return, here's everything we know about The Real Housewives of New York City season 15.

Is "The Real Housewives of New York City" coming back for season 15?

Image via Bravo

For a while, there was no official word from Bravo about whether or not we were getting more RHONY...but we're stayed hopeful! Well, all that waiting paid off because Bravo posted on Instagram that season 15 is a-go! Andy Cohen recently told Us Weeklythat the "next season" should fix some of the bumps this reboot faced, so we're excited to see what that means for the upcoming RHONY season!

Who's in the cast for "The Real Housewives of New York City" season 15?

Image via Bravo

It was pretty unclear who was returning to The Real Housewives of New York City. Most notably outspoken about her return (or potential lack thereof) was Jenna Lyons. She told Jimmy Fallon that she wasn't sure if she'll return for another season, which would have been a total bummer TBH! Jenna's sublime style and unique personality added so much to the show's dynamic last year, and it would definitely be missed.

LUCKILY, the entire season 14 is set to return for RHONY season 15 — Jenna included! Watch the adorable announcement here.

Reports are in that THE Rebecca Minkoff is joining the cast, too. While it's unclear if she's a friend of the show or a main cast member, I can't wait to watch this amazing female founder take the show by the horns!

Is Luann de Lesseps coming back to "The Real Housewives of New York City"?

Image via Bravo

Matt Rogers recently asked Countess Luann outright about the possibility of a return to the RHONY world. According to Matt, he heard that the upcoming season would have Brynn Whitfield, Erin Lichy, Jessel Taank, Sonja Morgan, Luann de Lesseps, and Dorinda Medley with Ubah Hassan returning as a friend of the cast. Luann neither confirmed nor denied this IRL, but cryptically commented on Instagram this February about the rumors.

However, as of right now, Countess Luann de Lesseps isn't an announced cast season 15 cast member.

Image via Instagram

What do the other cast members think about these rumors? According to Us Weekly, Brynn Whitfield is "open to anything" when it comes to filming with current and former cast members. Meanwhile, Erin Lichy told Access Hollywoodthat they're "not joining forces with (RHONY) Legacy."

Who got fired from "RHONY"?

Image via Bravo

After filming RHONY Legacy, investigative reporting by Vanity Fairfound that Ramona Singer allegedly used a racial slur towards a Black crew member — among other racially-driven misconduct allegations from years past and present. Ramona vehemently denied the use of the slur, but was still asked not to attend BravoCon in 2023. It's very likely that her time at Bravo is now up. According to PEOPLE, Ramona also isn't employed by real estate company Douglas Elliman anymore.

Who is the richest on "The Real Housewives of New York City"?

Image via Bravo

According to Cosmopolitan, Jenna Lyons is worth approximately $5 million dollars — the most net-worth of the current cast for The Real Housewives of New York City. However, this could change if she decides not to return to the show! The next in line would be Brynn Whitfield, coming in at a worth of $3 million dollars.

When will "The Real Housewives of New York City" season 15 air?

Image via Bravo

Allegedly filming for The Real Housewives of New York City season 15 hasn't even started yet. As of February 7, Erin Lichy wasn't even sure when filming would start, according to Access Hollywood. So everything seems very TBD at the moment.

Is there a trailer for "The Real Housewives of New York City" season 15?

Image via Bravo

Since filming is still up in the air, we definitely don't have a trailer yet. We're definitely keeping our eyes peeled for the moment something drops, though!

Spring is finally in full swing, which means that summer is just around the corner! Whether you just got back from spring break or are planning your first getaway of the year, one truth remains the same: you deserve a vacation. Head to a local beach town to relax and unwind in style, or grab your passport for the culture dive of a lifetime. As a writer and frequent flyer who maps out travel plans three years in advance, I've rounded up the coolest summer vacation ideas for 2024. Keep reading for tips on how to plan your perfect getaway to one of these trending cities!

Summer Vacation Ideas That Don't Require A Passport

New Orleans, Louisiana

It's an understatement to say that New Orleans is festive. While we all know about Mardi Gras, it's safe to say there's something fun going on all year round. Our favorite area to explore is the famed French Quarter, but we recommend booking a hotel in the slightly tamer Garden District or a haunted property elsewhere in town. Luckily, NOLA is highly walkable and Ubers are readily available, which makes it so much easier to see it all. Get spooked on a ghost tour with Free Tours by Foot (they offer a variety of other, non-occult tours too!). Dance the night away on Frenchman Street, where the best jazz musicians in the city play.

Napa Valley, California

It's hard to believe that Napa Valley is only 50 miles from San Francisco and the bay area. The region, which is made up of five towns (Calistoga, St. Helena, Yountville, American Canyon, and the city of Napa), is tucked between two mountain ranges. This means that the scenic views are endless, whether you're having a vineyard day or strolling through town. For a first visit, we recommend staying in Napa (colloquially known as Downtown Napa). Visitors will love the riverfront promenade and Napa Valley Wine Train. Yountville, the charming home to multiple Michelin Star restaurants, and Calistoga, which is a mix of Napa and Sonoma, are both absolutely worth a day trip while you're there, too.

Joshua Tree, California

Joshua Tree was designed with nature girlies in mind! It's made up of two different deserts, both with their own unique landscape, and dozens of picturesque hiking trails. The national park is just a two hour drive from Los Angeles, so flying into LAX is best if you're not a SoCal local. Make a list of your can't miss hikes (we recommend Hidden Valley) and get an early start. After a morning of hiking, cool off at a hot springs hotel (day passes are available for $8-$45, depending on the location).

Summer Vacation Ideas That Are A Short Flight Away

Toronto, Canada

Toronto is one of Canada's biggest (and most famous) cities. Fun fact: most NYC scenes in movies and TV shows are often shot in Toronto, thanks to the city's expansive skyline. Air Canada allows passengers to schedule a layover of up to 7 days in Toronto for free, but we think there's enough here to warrant a trip of it's own. One of the most iconic spots to visit is Casa Loma, a 98-room castle that's one of Toronto's most famous landmarks. Venture down Philosophers Walk, a scenic footpath, and spend the afternoon in Baldwin Village, famous for it's small shops and foodie-approved eateries.

Montego Bay, Jamaica

Montego Bay is a lazy girl's best friend. While it's a tropical paradise that any traveler would adore, the hotels go above and beyond to ensure you never have to (nor want to) leave. Check into the S Hotel and spend your days enjoying the crystal clear beaches, dreamy pools, and delicious restaurants located right on site (there are four of them!). If you're feeling adventurous, book a catamaran tour or go rafting down the Marta Brae River.

International Summer Vacation Ideas Totally Worth The Trip

Machu Picchu, Peru

Machu Picchu is one of the seven modern wonders of the world, and something you have to see to truly believe. To get there, fly into Lima and spend a few days in the coastal city. From there, take a domestic flight (1-2 hours) to Cuzco and begin making your way to the mountains. Getting around the small mountain towns of Peru is no joke, so I recommend joining a guided tour for ease. Stay overnight in a traditional hacienda to continue taking in the beauty of your surroundings, and consider extending your trip to visit the Rainbow Mountains.

Cape Town, South Africa

Cape Town has a little bit of everything: pristine beaches, vibrant city life, and untouched natural wonders. An extremely walkable port city, every neighborhood has its own personality. Check out the street art in the Woodstock neighborhood and then enjoy a fresh seafood lunch near the V&A Waterfront. Visit Boulders Beach, where several species of penguins live in harmony right on the beach. Take a day trip to the regions famous wineries, like Stellenbosch or Franschhoek, both of which are just two hours out from Cape Town proper. Spend two days on the Western Cape, where you can go on an African Safari and get up close and personal with the best of South Africa's wildlife.

Copenhagen, Denmark

Within the past few years, Denmark's capital has emerged from under-the-radar locale to a must-see destination for in-the-know travelers. Copenhagen was named one of the happiest cities in the world and in our expert opinion, it's also one of the most beautiful, thanks to Nyhavn, the famous 17th century harbor. First time visitors should stay downtown in Indre By, which is centrally located to fun activities and some of the most picturesque parts of the city. We recommend Hotel Bethel or The Socialist, for a more luxe hotel option. Stroll down the waterway and explore the medieval architecture, like Rosenborg Castle. Wander into Tivoli Gardens, a small amusement park with aesthetic gardens. Embrace the playfulness of Scandi Girl style, by supporting CPH-based designers like Saks Potts and Ganni.

Santorini, Greece

When thinking about Greece, Santorini is the first thing to come to mind. And for good reason! The infamous white-and-blue buildings have made their way into (almost) every piece of media surrounding Greece, and for all the girlies who grew up on a diet of Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants rewatches, it makes our Y2K hearts happy knowing that the idyllic island exceeds expectations IRL. Since others have heard about the magic of Santorini as well, we recommend visiting at the beginning or end of the season to avoid the crowds and high prices. Oia and Thera are the most popular towns, but staying on the eastern side of the island will offer a more low-key and secluded getaway. We love Imerovigli, which offers an unobstructed view of the volcanic crater. To get the full experience, stay in a cave hotel. We love Perivolas Hotel for a luxe option, or The Architects Cave for a midrange hotel.

Seoul, South Korea

South Korea is a small country with so much to see and do. Make Seoul as your home base, and plan day trips to other areas of interest. Start in Hongdae, Seoul's most vibrant neighborhood, where you can try the newest street food and see edgy fashion trends up close. From there, make your way to Gyeongui Line Forest Park, a disused railway line turned lush, 3.7 mile walking trail. Venture into historic Seoul with a trip to Gyeongbokgung Palace, which was first built in 1395.

Marrakesh, Morocco

Morocco may seem like a world away, but with a 7 hour flight from NYC, it's actually closer than most of Western Europe. Fly direct into Casablanca, where you should stay for 1-2 days until you get sick of quoting the famous film. From there, catch the high speed train to Marrakesh, which is even more aesthetic than Instagram would have you believe. Check into La Mamounia (Anna Delvey's hotel of choice) and take your time exploring the local markets. Plan a morning at the Jardin Majorelle, Yves Saint Laurent's picturesque garden, and take pictures at the famed Ben Youssef Madrasa.
