We hope they, at least, give the girls good stuff to drink.

In addition to that, they have a say in how the rose ceremony is presented.

Sometimes, filming those ceremonies takes forever, or at least it seems like it.

It’s not all bad though.

Lowe revealed that Chris Harrison went the kitchen to make breakfast burritos for everyone.

Don’t worry though.

Contestants do get to eat.

We ate in our rooms and then went out for dinner."

The Bachelor engagement ring

The rings are pricey

In this case, pricey is a bit of an understatement.

We were always doing beauty routines because that was literally all we had time to do.”
