Bachelorette Buds

It's hometowns week and 3 men remain - Blake, Justin, and Greg. But with Katie's 'frontrunner' leaving, we aren't sure how the season will end now. Listen in as Kate and Marcie recap the latest Bachelor Nation headline, whether or not Greg was being manipulative in his conversations with Katie before leaving, and of course Blake's sister's brutal honesty. 

Is it just us or was this the most boring Men Tell All episode of all time? And yes, even the bloopers were boring. Kate and Marcie discuss Michael's departure, the random Kaitlyn and Jason proposal story they sprinkled in, and of course - CAT GUY. And what does that last line "I want someone to book my flight home" mean? Listen in!

Katie shocks Bachelor Nation by letting Andrew S. go - and well, it got a bit confusing. Did she ask him to come back? Did he say no? Why did they kiss at the end? Plus, Mike P. talks about his mom during a cuddling date, and Katie sets her final four for hometowns. And we can't not talk about Greg. You're either Team Greg or you're not - which side are you on? 

Katie knows what she wants - and she's cutting guys left and right to get it! She sends home a fan favorite (but not a Marcie favorite) on a 1-on-1, and shocked us by choosing Brendan (who?!) to round out her final 6. Now, who's going to Hometowns? Kate and Marcie are also discussing the Bachelor In Paradise cast that was recently revealed - plus - are Clare and Dale engaged...again?! Listen in!

In this week's episode of The Bachelorette, Blake Moynes makes his official return to the franchise, much to the men's disapproval - and Katie seems quite smitten after their first one-on-one date. Plus things get aggressive on the group date and the house seems to have a new target - Hunter. Kate and Marcie also discuss Andrew S. and Katie's connection after their one-on-one date. Listen in as we...

It's 'The Thomas Show' on this week's episode of Bachelorette. Kate and Marcie discuss if the other men were being too harsh and petty - and what they thought of Katie's dramatic rose ceremony tactic, kicking Thomas to the curb. Plus, Blake Moynes is back vying for Katie's heart and they admitted to DM'ing before the show. Is Blake in it for the long haul? Listen in!

Kate may have been right about Thomas but she was very wrong about Michael. Listen in as Kate and Marcie discuss the truth-telling group date, Katie's one-on-one with Michael, a widower and father, and why the guys are turning on Thomas. Plus, you'll want to hear Marcie's continued thoughts on 'Cat Guy.' 

Listen in as Kate and Marcie discuss the two [boring] group dates and Greg's one-on-one and as usual, the wrong reason police are back as Karl stirs the pot with Katie. Plus, we talk Bachelor in Paradise hosts, and if Lance Bass really went to space or if Kate is just crazy. 

The Bachelorette is back! Kate and Marcie discuss Katie's men, the latest Bachelor Nation news, and of course our thoughts on 'Box guy' and 'Cat guy.' Listen in as we recap the first episode of Katie's season, and debate our early predictions!

For most of us, 2020 is a year we will remember for staying home during a global pandemic, eating lots of take out, and binging bad reality TV shows. Before the Bachelorette swooped in to save 2020, Kate and Marcie binged an unhealthy amount of reality TV.
