About this episode

We have a very special guest on the podcast today! Demi Burnett was the most controversial cast member of The Bachelor season 23 even before she came out as autistic (the neurotypicals always know anyway). We asked her all about her experience on The Bachelor, sorting fact from fiction, and what it's like to be autistic on reality TV.

Subscribe to our Patreon for just $5 a month to get an additional full-length episode every single week! Right now we're covering Love Is Blind season 1.

Send in questions for Demi to answer next time she comes on the pod! alienswatchingrealitytv@gmail.com

Aliens Watching Reality TV is hosted by Erika Heidewald and Josh Shahryar, two reality show newbies who grew up feeling like aliens (turns out we're just autistic and ADHD) and love analyzing human behavior by watching reality TV dating shows on Netflix.
