Bustle's Editors On 'The Bachelor' + Congress

Welcome to 2017, everyone! After 12 very long months, 2016 has finally come to an end, and I'm sure many of you are just as relieved as I am that the year is behind us. There's no question that 2017 is bound to have its own less-than-ideal moments, but for now, we can all celebrate the fact that the year that brought us Trump's election, Brexit, and the deaths of so many beloved stars is officially over.

And January is shaping up to be pretty interesting already. From Monday night's Bachelor premiere to Megyn Kelly's big change, here's all the news that caught Bustle's editors' attention today, Jan. 3.

Nick Viall + The Bachelor

A new year, a new season of The Bachelor to obsess over. Monday night's premiere saw Nick Viall meet the 30 (!) contestants, and it was quite a ride, to say the least. There were scandalous reveals, first kisses, and dolphin memes galore — as well as a whole lot of sex-positivity, a pretty huge step forward for the dating show.

Expert Advice: "So far, my money is on Vanessa to win Nick's heart — she's cultured, smart, selfless (she's a special education teacher), and has some serious chemistry with Nick already," says Bustle's Associate TV editor and Bachelor whiz Martha Sorren. "But, Alexis, the not-a-dolphin-definitely-a-shark contestant, won America's heart — so here's hoping she gets even more screen time ahead."

Megyn Kelly + Big Moves

After months of speculation, it's been announced that Megyn Kelly will be leaving Fox News and moving to NBC News, where she'll reportedly host a daytime talk show, anchor a Sunday news show, and cover political events. It's a big move for Kelly, who became a major player in 2016 for her reporting on the election and the harassment she received from Donald Trump and his campaign. All eyes will be peeled on what she does next at NBC.

Inauguration RSVPs: In a little less than three weeks, Trump will be sworn into office — and it turns out that none other than Hillary and Bill Clinton will be watching in the audience. It's a surprising move from the duo, and another reason to tune in to the Jan. 20 event

Congressional Ethics + The GOP

Just one day after it was reported that House Republicans had voted to place the Office of Congressional Ethics under Congress' control (you know, making the whole "unbiased investigation" thing pretty problematic), the amendment was overturned. Perhaps the huge amount of public backlash the GOP got had something to do with it?

Kim Kardashian + Her Big Return

Get ready to have your heart melted, and celebrate the long-awaited return of Kim K to social media.
