All that hard work Tom’s putting into his book will pay off… or will it?.Temma Hankin/ABC
(Watch the tease above.)
Twitter reacted with appropriate levels of dismay.
Then came the big reveal on tonight’s episode ofABC’s family comedyHome Economics.
“I was like, ‘Whoa mission accomplished.'”
We cast real influencers to host it,Alan ChowandMadison Lewis.
We thought, “This actually kinda looks real.
Maybe we wanna put a promo together.”
We’ll put it in the episode."
The same people who cut the ads forThe Bachelorcut this trailer.

It’s so bizarre.
In tonight’s episode, Jojo ultimately decides to join the cast ofInfluencer Lagoon.
Is her relationship with Connor really over?Yeah.
And Connor being broken up with a second time has big ramifications.
It just gets worse and worse for him.
He is down on himself, and he spirals.
What else can you tease forHome Economicsfans this season?On April 6,Mark Cubanguest stars.
We did a great promo for that, where they green screen [theHome Economicscast] intoShark Tank.
Mark Cuban being in Connor’s poker group makes sense.
He’s legit good in it and he wrote a couple jokes that are really funny.
He’ll say, “I have only one pair and for those reasons, I’m out.”
Connor calls him “Mark Cuban,” first and last name, the whole episode.
While it’s noInfluencer Lagoon, you are a fan ofThe Bachelor, correct?Uh, yes.
I was dragged into it by my wife.
I never thought I’d be that guy.
