Season 3 • Episode 14
LatestThe big finale. The winner of the $900 is finally revealed.
Burning Love is a scripted comedy series which is a web spoof of the television shows The Bachelor, The Bachelorette and Bachelor Pad. Depending on the season, the show either follows a man or a woman who is looking for the perfect mate from a pool of contestants, or has contestants living together in a mansion competing for a cash prize. Ben Stiller is executive co-producer. Season 1 showcases fireman Mark Orlando as the bachelor. Season 2 of the series, which premiered in February 2013, stars June Diane Raphael reprising her role as season 1 contestant Julie, now the bachelorette given the chance to find the perfect man. Season 3 also premiered in 2013 and starred former contestants from Seasons 1 and 2 competing for a $900 prize rather than for love.
Acting
Ken Marino's deadpan sincerity as Mark Orlando is comedy gold

Every contestant name is a crime against dignity

Nails the tacky mansion aesthetic too perfectly

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The show originated on Yahoo Screen, making it one of the few genuinely good things to ever come from that platform's brief existence.
Burning Love arrived at peak Bachelor saturation (2012-2013) and helped kickstart the 'prestige parody' wave that later included American Vandal and The Comeback.
