Bustle's Editors On 'TIME' & 'The Bachelor'

Happy hump day, y'all. Wednesdays are always a rough time, and when it's freezing outside and dark at 4 p.m., the days can feel like an eternity. But you've made it through, and tomorrow is Thursday, which is basically the start of the weekend (right? Right.). So get your celebrations in order, because you're this close to making it to the finish line of this week. Woo!

And what a week it's been already. From Donald Trump getting the title of TIME magazine's Person of the Year to the contestants for Nick Viall's Bachelor season being announced, read on for a recap of all the things that got Bustle's editors talking today.

Donald Trump + Person Of The Year

Few were surprised when, early Wednesday morning, it was announced that Donald Trump is TIME 's Person of the Year. Remember, the title isn't about who's the "best" or most-liked person in a given year, but who's the most influential and important, and like it or not, it's undeniable that the president-elect changed the game in 2016, completely remaking politics as we know it.

Fun Fact: Despite calling it a "very great honor" to be named Person of the Year, Trump (unsurprisingly) has been critical of TIME in the past, calling it, among other things, "really flimsy like a free handout" back in 2013. Guess he changed his mind?

The Bachelor + Season 21

Start stocking up on wine and rose petals, because the next season of The Bachelor is coming up fast. On Wednesday, the 30 women who will be vying for Nick Viall's heart were revealed, and they're certainly an eclectic bunch, ranging from a chef to a nurse to a lawyer to a doula. One thing many of the ladies seem to have in common? Dolphins. Yes, really.

Progress Alert: "After years of mostly white casts, Nick's batch of contestants features many women of color, which is a really great step forward for the show's diversity," notes Bustle's Associate TV Editor Martha Sorren. "Who knows, maybe we'll get the first non-white Bachelorette next year." Here's hoping!

Kimye + Divorce Rumors

Don't freak out just yet, but according to a new report in Us Weekly, Kim Kardashian is allegedly considering divorcing Kanye West. A source claimed to the magazine that Kardashian is reportedly "building a case" to get full custody of the couple's two kids, North, and Saint. It's all rumors at this point (Bustle reached out to Kardashian's rep for comment, but did not receive a response), but Kimye fans might want to keep their fingers crossed just in case.

Rejection + Moving On

In the latest episode of Bustle's Love, Factually, two psychologists explain the science behind why getting shut down hurts as much as it does. Our brains are wired to hurt when we experience rejection, but that doesn't mean that all people experience it the same. “People who are not well differentiated may be more sensitive to rejection, because they’re still very enmeshed with people around them and taking their cues about their value and own self worth from other people," explains Dr. Alice Sohn. Meaning: the better you know yourself, the less painful rejection will be.
