Can We Steal You for a Second?

A good ol’ classic episode of the Bachelor right here. This time, with an AI Bachelor who is not programmed to lie. You see him short-circuit right before your eyes! He’s the gift that keeps on giving, and the roast keeps on getting more specific. This episode made us unlikely stans of undeniable It girl Christina Mandrell, skeptical of changing personalities Brianna, and somehow talking ourselves...

We are coming in HOT with the first episode of Zach’s season. We discuss: - Zach is not of our human species. There is something darker there - Greer is 2023 Bekah Martinez (this is neither an insult nor a compliment) - Potential snake in the GRASS - Best dressed (slim pickings) - Worst dressed (excited for Fashion Friday) - Decent entrances (we like party buses and pigs) - Bad entrances (anyone t...

You can hear the sweet relief of finally getting to talk to each other through podcast microphones again in the year of our lord TWENTY SILLY THREE!!! Inspired by our personal new year's resolutions to embrace dumb, fluffy, fun books from the library and as we indulged in some of the best culture news of our break, an intention of the year came to us so clearly. 2024 will be a doozy, and we s...

Dare we say we wish this actual finale reunion episode had a little more time? Unfortunately, the going trend of the night is that the men really came out looking much better, and we couldn’t help but have to side with them against some extreme defensiveness and weak apologies!!! Except for Victoria of course, who is allowed to get away with being absolutely life-destroying because it makes for on...

First half BIP, second half LIB (59:20 for Love is Blind recap) but even so….for a dog-days of summer episode, we excavated some GEMS in the final hour here on the beach AND in this episode! We get deep into whether Rachel and Gabby had super-senior, vindictive energy and where Logan falls in fault in all of this while Kate truly needs to be stopped. Appreciating Andrew’s honesty when it finally c...

Fewer tears have been shed over traumatic life disasters, let alone a breakup of a couple you’ve been hanging out with for a few weeks. We have a LOT of takes on the Eliza/Rodney/Justin love triangle, it gave us so much content. And for all the survivors out there, we will get through this. Just hang on. Kate and Logan is a relationship following a different trajectory that started from similar mi...

It finally happened…two years in the making…our first in-person podcast! And it’s better than we even could have imagined. So strap in for an episode for the ages as we discuss various couple arguments. From most to least toxic, might be a hot-take, is Eliza/Rodney, Genevieve/Aaron, Kate/Logan. And brb, planning our next live episode now.  Support the show

Everyone is coming back to the nest this week, and it did not disappoint! Primarily the conversation surrounds the juiciest of reunions: Shanae and Logan, and Victoria and Johnny. Shanae is clearly a hypocrite but we couldn’t help but take her side, Logan is flaky, and Kate is SUS. Victoria is in the right, Johnny is showing his clear immaturity. Plus, what in the world will fill these next few we...

Why is the vibe on the beach so BAD this season? Is it the lack of partying? Is it pride stopping people from making moves? Is it the DM dibs-calling beforehand? Is it the married couple stinking up the boom-boom room and stealing all the screentime and date cards? Probably a combination of all of it, but this week it was certainly these mopey men. Support the show

Two two hot bombshells entered the beach: guests Alex (Whitney’s sister) and Chelsea! Friends of the pod, viewers of the show because of the pod, what an honor. They even bring some juicy tea about some of the contestants…We discuss the Romeo clusterfuck, Shanae’s comeback, and clique dynamics before Whitney and Camille continue with the second episode of the week. Topics of conversation include:...

Welcome back to the BEACH! And some of these people are already really testing our patience! We introduce two new segments: EXILE ISLAND for couples who blatantly took performance-enhancing drugs (i.e. talked before the show) and HIERARCHY VIOLATIONS for contestants who step out of line regarding their relevancy on the show. Protagonists emerge in Brittany and Hunter, while antagonists emerge in G...

We just knew moments into this episode that we were going to be going OFF. Tune into about an hour of us essentially standing firm for the premise of the show and validating Gabby and Rachel’s clearly set expectations that they want an engagement and thus, reading between the lines, a firm commitment. What is with these men constantly lowering the bar every season??? We bring up common arguments a...

With two bachelorettes, the best episode of the year gave us even MORE to love. More recapping conversations behind closed doors, more spontaneous break-ups outside of the format, more insecure men being shocked they have to give up control, it did not disappoint! We break down the week one by one. Gabby really got herself into a pickle with this particularly uncommitted and mediocre group of men....

Oops, huge clickbait title but we had to because this was the worst episode of the franchise EVER! Camille did get hit by a car this weekend, she’s luckily okay, and is even more radicalized than ever about urban planning and safe streets. The actual Men Tell All was not only boring, but the amount of desperate ads were embarrassing for everyone involved, even us watching. Which made for at least...

Pack your bags and get ready to head to six hometowns this week (and Aven’s shoehorned into MTA)!!! It’s the second best episode of the season and things are unfolding. Seeing whose family is crazy, controlling, emotional, trusting, sentimental, secretive, and everything in between really helps paint a picture. And this week had everything! Support the show

Sports! Whitney's dad subs in while Camille celebrates her engagement and gets real with several sports references that really change up the vibe from our usual episode. We discuss Nate's demise on and off screen, Rachel's tulip frolicking, Tino's tears, and of course... the first COVID case in the Bachelor bubble system... or was it? As a bonus, my dad discusses raising me as...

Our snake radar is on HIGH ALERT this episode and predicting beyond! There are the obvious ones like Logan and Erich…but we have our eye on Tino and Zach too….But Johnny and Aven had stand-out weeks, representing the best in these fellow passengers. Listen to our takes and let us know if you agree or disagree. Either way, we are in for a wild ride.  Support the show

This season continues to serve an impossibly challenging dating situation for Gabby and Rachel, but it fell especially hard on Rachel this week. Still opened the door for fascinatingly complex conversations about group psychology, attraction in dating, and the differences in the two women as comparisons shed light on subtle details. But also, poor Rachel really has a bad picker.  Support the show

This week we learn that men win every time. The “Winners Circle” includes: inflated self-confidence, a complete lack of understanding about female friendship interpersonal dynamics, assumed power in every situation, and enjoying an extremely low bar. GABBY RUN FROM ERICH! All this aside, Zach and Rachel had a pretty sincerely special date and we are officially rooting for him (don’t make us regret...

It’s week two and since we have yet to get to the really juicy stuff, we spend a lot of the episode overanalyzing the vibes of the house, the Bachelorettes friendship, and going on tangents about celebrity private plane emissions, rude smoothie baristas, and social media’s newest and dumbest and funniest app BeReal. Join us for a meandering chat and let us know if you think our season impressions...

WE ARE BACK BABYYYYY!!!! Dusting off the microphones, no cast bios prep, we are going in RAW. This time with TWO very different, but very wonderful Bachelorettes. Rachel leads with her heart and Gabby leads with her head, though we worry that they will suffer from opposite problems with season: Rachel not protecting her emotions enough and Gabby protecting herself too much.  But we begin the episo...

Pooches were screwed, mascara was cried FULL off, and walks were NOT had out. That was a double-header finale for the ages! Whitney and Camille take a HARSH anti-Clayton turn when he made the dumfounding decision to do a breaking hearts group date not once but TWICE. We begin the episode by asking the age old question everyone seems to think they are an expert in. What IS love? We finish just bein...
