The video shows the ladies dancing as one, and they are very happy indeed moving their bodies in a synchronized manner. Kaitlyn simply captioned the moment: ‘We still got it girls,’ tagging in the post her three companions who quickly after got thousands of likes and comments from the thrilled followers.
The reason why this reunion is so unique mainly lies in the shared background of the women. Each of them was a member of the cast of Chris Soules’ season of The Bachelor in 2015, thus creating a connection that has lasted even longer than relationships, engagements, and many other Bachelor franchise appearances. One person put it in such a way that it actually captured the feeling of many: ‘Chris Soules had the BEST group of women in Bachelor history!’
The comment section basically turned into a digital party for what a lot of people are considering the golden age of Bachelor Nation. ‘All the OG queens back together’ was the comment of one excited viewer, another one said, ‘The OG bachelorette gang!!’ The reunion was surely liked by the old time fans who recognized these ladies from their original season.
One of the users probably made the most open statement by saying, ‘best era of the bach franchise u girlies raised me.’ The idea that this group represented the best times of the Bachelor Nation was prevalent in the comments, which were filled with claims that the specific group provided peak entertainment. The nostalgia was practically palpable as people were looking back to the changes that the franchise went through during the time these ladies were first on the screen.
Dance was the starting point for everything, one user even pointed out Becca Tilley’s talent by asking, ‘can we all give @beccatilley a round of applause for her dancing skills?? so proud.’ At the same time, Jade Roper’s unique way of blending in with the crowd in the background was also recognized through a comment, ‘Jade in the back just doing whatever she wants and I love that for her.’ Jade herself seemed to agree with the commentator, since she responded with laughing emojis.
The extremely positive response to the reunion even triggered the followers to come up with some funny ideas. One of the most liked suggestions came from a user, who said, ‘You ladies need your own show!! “The Secret Lives of Bachelor Wives”!! I would so watch that show!!’ The idea got instant support in the comments with people tagging various streaming platforms and showing their enthusiasm for the proposed series.
Another humorous comment compared the girls to iconic girl bands: ‘I am going to tell my little girl that these are the Spice Girls.’ The comparison was very relevant, taking into account their energy and chemistry that were so effortlessly visible.
For the new fans of the Bachelor franchise who might not recognize the connection between these women immediately, there were comments accompanying that explained it. ‘Knowing you all dated chris the farmer still makes me chuckle love that you are all still friends!!!’ was one of the comments, while another one said, ‘Only clicked from the comments they all dated Chris Soules and I’m DEAD.’ The past that these women share is undoubtedly imparting a deeper meaning to their friendship that is still valid today.
The video is a sign that relationships made on the show might not last, but the contestants’ connections can… or should I say… be revived even after the final rose is handed out! These four ladies have taken different paths since their time on Chris Soules’ season—some finding love within the franchise, while others outside it, getting busy with their careers and families—all making it very clear that they still have that connection which is great for them and their fans.

As one comment rightly concludes: ‘When I say I like the bachelor franchise I show them this video.’ The moment encapsulates everything that fans love about the Bachelor universe—the drama might pull viewers in during the airing, but it is the real friendships and human relations that are the main reason for keeping them in the game for years. The Chris Soules alumni together with Kaitlyn Bristowe have treated Bachelor Nation with a real delight, a joyful and very first reason reminding us of the one that we fell in love with these ladies. Colton Underwood and Kaitlyn have previously worked together on projects. Kaitlyn’s playful personality was on full display when she joked about being a basic bitch in a recent social media post. The celebration of her milestone was highlighted when Trista Sutter celebrated Kaitlyn Bristowe’s 40th birthday with a heartfelt tribute.
