By walking away from the show with Katie, Blake became the first contestant to return for a second season as a contestant and actually win. You’d think that Blake’s love story with Katie would stand out on its own, without the Flock of Seagulls–era technology.

And the audience members didn’t purchase their own boom boxes to bring to a TV taping-although there may be a lack of variety among boom box offerings in the 21st century, it’s clear that the massive props were provided to them.
Blake didn’t use 60 percent of his luggage space on an obnoxious, oversized, outdated piece of technology-it was provided to him by The Bachelorette in hopes of making him memorable. The audience members’ boom boxes looked suspiciously similar to the one Blake held above his head-an obvious sign that this was not a BYOB (bring your own boom box) situation. That’s why, at the end of Monday night’s finale, after Blake and Katie revealed they’re still together and in love, every male member of the studio audience stood up and held a boom box above their heads while Blake and Katie danced to a song they also danced to on the show. (Which movie? I honestly couldn’t tell without looking it up, but I know enough to know that it was a big deal in the 1980s.) Their conversation that night wasn’t particularly romantic-it actually focused heavily on Blake’s urgent need to masturbate-but the boom box moment was supposed to stick with us.
This season’s lasting touchstone? Blake and his boom box.Ī few weeks after coming onto the show, Blake appeared outside of Katie’s room at night reenacting that scene from that movie. If a Bachelorette contestant has a chance at winning, the show will sprinkle in some moments to make them memorable-little things that can be instantly recognized as a signature of a particular relationship.
