01The take
Trista Rehn.
The season that proved the flip worked. A pediatric physical therapist and former Bachelor runner-up returns with the calendar in her hands, 25 men in tuxedos, and a format the franchise was inventing for the second time. Six episodes is tight, and the compression keeps every cocktail party load-bearing. The casting reads earnest, the lead reads confident, and the result is a foundational document — the proof that a woman holding the roses could carry a show.
