THE BACHELOR PADcast

After just five episodes, Charity is down to her final four guys and of course we had to rank them all heading into hometown dates. Will the final few episodes be drama free? It seems like the guy getting the final rose and choice for the next Bachelor seem pretty obvious. Do you agree??

We break down Brayden's poor attempt at trying to be a Bachelor Nation villain and pick the most likely of the final six to get the final rose. Plus, all the details on The Golden Bachelor!

Charity Lawson met the men vying for her attention in the 20th season premiere of The Bachelorette. We talk about how the show could have better utilized Charity's brother Nehemiah, the best and worst first impressions from the guys and all the latest news from Bachelor Nation.

Zach dubbed Fantasy Suites as Sex Week and that was only the fifth weirdest thing he did on the penultimate episode of The Bachelor Season 27. We try to find reasons for his questionable decision making and if there was a way he could have avoided a complete meltdown with just a few quick fixes. Plus predictions for the final rose!

We discuss all four of Zach's hometown dates and the final three women headed to Fantasy Suites (or Sex Week as Zach likes to call it). We make our picks for the final rose -- if it's NOT Kaity. Plus we have a new Bachelorette! Thoughts on her season and how the expectations will compare to Zach's.

With Zach Shallcross heading to hometowns, we break down his final four women, including the person we see as the clear frontrunner. We also talk about Greer Blitzer's short return to the show and the potential options for The Bachelorette.

The Bachelor went to Estonia and the drama followed. We'll try to sort out Kat taking on Brooklyn (for Charity) and Jess Girod melting down (while most definitely NOT on a one-on-one date)... Got all that?

Zach's dates in London were cut short when he tested positive for COVID and we try to sort through how the women deal with the curve ball. We have to ask a very important question: did Zach mean to invite Greer instead of Gabi on the high tea date?

We break down all three of Zach's week three dates: an overnight camping at a museum, Bachelor Bowl V and sky diving! Plus the quick downfall of Christina Mandrell from meeting the fam to sent home.  

Zach went on his first dates of the season, including Latto crushing her cameo and Patrick Warburton getting edited out of his (yes, we have all the details!). Plus Nickelback making their Bachelor debut -- sort of -- and how despite that the season continues to exceed expectations.

Zach Shallcross met the 30 women vying for his heart and we'll tell you which ones we think may have caught his eye on opening night. Early thoughts on Zach in the lead role, including some very low expectations for performance and how much of the first episode was fitting for the new Bachelor.

We were promised a dramatic Bachelor in Paradise finale and it delivered! Brandon and Serene look like the perfect couple but we take a look at the real stars of the finale: Johnny vs. Victoria/Greg Grippo and Tyler vs. Brittany. Cheating, first dates in Italy and break ups over Face Time!  

Andrew found himself in a love triangle after Ency Abedin's arrival on the beach, but it was how she left the show that has all of Bachelor Nation talking. We also try to make sense of the ongoing Aaron-Genevieve and Kate-Logan relationships/arguments.  

The beach is rocked by a wild swing of emotion for Bachelor Nation Favorite Rodney and we'll talk about if he should have stayed in Paradise. Plus a brand new relationship that is making major waves off the beach.

We talk about Lace's surprising exit, potential for the greatest Bachelor in Paradise couple ever and love triangles that formed after the most recent twist. Plus the bizarre back-and-forth between Victoria and Johnny over boxes and lists.

Michael A was once a Bachelor Nation favorite and we debate how much he's fallen with some very important information from Wells Adams that was NOT shown by ABC. We also dive into Bachelor in Paradise's attempt to recreate Love Island's Casa Amor. Could they have done it better and should they bring it back next season?

You have questions, we have answers: Why did Teddy call it quits on her paid vacation after her breakup with Andrew? Has the shocking Shanae/Genevieve friendship helped to bring out the worst in one of them? What exactly happened with the Sierra/Michael breakup? Wait, this season has HOW MANY episodes???

The 8th season premiere of Bachelor in Paradise brought plenty of familiar faces to the beach! We talk about all of the early couples, the most eligible people on the season and if Shanae has a chance to rehab her image. Plus a big breakup and new couple alert in Bachelor Nation!

The book is closed on Gabby Windey and Rachel Recchia's season of The Bachelorette and we have to talk about Tino's wild actions, Erich's texting scandal and the mixed reaction to Aven's hero entrance. Plus our thoughts on Zach Shallcross being picked as the new Bachelor.

Night one of The Bachelorette finale was -- as Gabby put it -- a big, fat dumpster fire and we do our best to prepare you for the MOST DRAMATIC conclusion ever. Is Rachel settling for Tino just because Aven wouldn't commit to an engagement, did her friends commit sabotage and a big miss by Big Tony during his sit down with Tino. What was Erich thinking dropping his "dating" bomb on Gabby? We'll ha...

What. Was. That. Gabby and Rachel had their Fantasy Suite dates and they... did not go well. We'll try to sort through the wreckage, including Zach accusing Rachel of acting for the cameras and Gabby's guys suddenly not wanting to get engaged.

Gabby and Rachel had their hometown dates and there was plenty of drama to talk about! From Tino's parents inappropriate interrogation to Erich's touching family visit to Tyler's heart being destroyed on camera. Oh, and Patrick Warburton (Seinfeld's Puddy!). We also have details from Wells Adams and Sarah Hyland's wedding over the weekend and unexpected issues at a Matt James... basketball game?!

Logan Palmer dominated this week's episode of The Bachelorette and we'll take a look at how he asked to switch from Rachel to Gabby and both leads reaction to the news. Plus thoughts on Rachel's latest breakdown and Jesse's big bounce back.

Rachel's roller coaster season of The Bachelorette continued and we'll try to break down her breakdowns. Plus a statement from Hayden Markowitz after he tried to use his dying dog to get a rose. We also have predictions for how Gabby will handle the Logan situation next week.

Rachel and Gabby tried to take the power back from the men on The Bachelorette but the format of their "Fantasy Draft" seemed to backfire. We talked about a simple fix that would've produced plenty of drama but without embarrassing the leads. Oh, and there were three dates to chat about!
