Who said it: Biden, Trump or someone from 'The Bachelor'? | FiveThirtyEight

In honor of #TheBachelor finale, we decided to play a little game of “Who Said It?” with the 538 staff. Can they tell the difference between quotes from "The Bachelor" or "The Bachelorette" and campaign lines from President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump (two individuals who, in many ways, are vying for America’s rose)?

"I don't think the Bachelor would talk about a woman that way, so it must be Trump."
Good call!

[@kevinw4267]

7:00 the dead giveaway is “school”, Trump never talk about his experience in school

[@dictatoribenevolo8394]

omg how did I not see it!!!!

[@Mor_timer]

That Bachelor guy may be Trump’s kid 😂😂

[@Throgan]

I have never watched the bachelor, and this was still entertaining. The few times people picked Trump and it was Biden was also hilarious.

[@MrSomervillen]

This was hilarious!!! Nathaniel did so good. I’m really impressed

[@antigonemerlin]

I concur, these quotes are really good. I was frequently surprised even after the reveal.

[@XH13]

9/12 without even watching the bachelor. Long gone is the time of Winston Churchill’s speeches

[@ckq]

Same lol.
I think it helps to not watch the bachelor
since we know the general theme without having to stress about if we actually watched that episode or something.

[@rachels.8051]

Omg no. This realization. But the reality star became president. There is no escape 😭

[@mainshaayartonahi27]

I want a longer episode!!

[@joannmay-anthony1076]

some of these are said in too proper speech for trump.

[@nicebluejay]

more of these plz

[@suburbanhousewife40]

This was an unexpected delight! Wow, marketing messages are just a hot mess.

[@MrChanw11]

This was genuinely hard haha

[@chuckwilson980]

Such fun!

[@ZappBranniglenn]

I haven't seen a single episode of the Bachelor but I got 8 out of 12. Mostly guessing Bachelor if I wasn't sure and that paid off.

[@ethancooke593]

10/12, and I've never watched The Bachelor. I missed 4 and 11

[@timothyschwarz4028]

What was the context of Number 10?

[@RichardJoJoyce]

I got 7/12 correct.

[@jjbode1]

Shared with my political think tankers for a break from the latest news.

[@timseytiger9280]

How could any of them have guessed quote 4 and quote 8 as Trump. Those sentences were way too long for Trump, no way he could stay coherent that long.

[@JH-vc5vu]

How do 538ers think after 9 years Trump is any more capable of full sentences

[@theEvilLord90]

All I can say is that after watching this I know I have a very low opinion of Trump

[@SolaceEasy]

No one will remember what you think, what you say, or what you do. They remember how you make them feel.

[@mlwadester87]

Reality tv stinks.

[@ckq]

My results
1: ✅ (was thinking it's too easy almost changed)
2: ✅ (had trump at first but realized it matched Bidens rhetoric
3: ❌ (went trump cause he hadn't had one yet)
4:

[@ckq]

4: ❌ (I had a similar line of thought to the rest, should be Trump but could be bachelor)

[@ckq]

5: ✅

[@ckq]

6: ✅ (I went with Biden, but Galen had me convinced since he went into so much detail)

[@ckq]

7: ❌ (didn't expect that)

[@ckq]

8: ✅

[@jonoaks9834]

yeah…these cutesy games don’t really seem to match how serious the consequences of this election are

[@roryschmidt5776]

People are allowed to have fun in difficult times

[@rachels.8051]

There are villains on The Bachelor? Too horrible, didn’t watch.
