Drama Bonded

Our eyes might be stuck in a permanent eye roll after watching another week of Scheana’s efforts to make Ariana and Tom’s breakup about her. She’s really milking this grieving process. Lisa and production continue to champion Tom’s redemption arc, so we pour ourselves another glass to help us get through the bullshit. Meanwhile Joey is with the final three women in Mexico for “fantasy suites”. Aft...

This week on Drama Bonded, we review some Easter candy and discuss aging and social media. Then Lake Tahoe gets more complicated with weird meditation moments and hard conversations. All the while Katie and Ariana are being their best selves, making money moves in Weho. We question why production is trying so hard to redeem Sandoval and make Ariana the villain in their story. Meanwhile in Bachelor...

We were hoping for fun in the sun in Lake Tahoe, but storm Sandoval has dampened another episode of Vanderpump Rules. We also discuss some of Rachel’s insights concerning the things being said about her this season. Then we are off to Jasper, Canada where we find 6 women hoping for a hometown rose. Some women are ready and eager, while others express some unexpected hesitation. Joey struggles to j...

We start out addressing the infamous quote from Tom Sandoval’s profile piece in The NY Times. How does this all keep getting worse? That leads us into another heavy episode of Vanderpump Rules, where we talk through some hard-to-discuss mental health topics and then embrace the brief levity of James’s pricey pool party. The Bachelor also felt heavier this week! We see Joey struggling to navigate a...

Holy moly there was a lot to talk about this week. Scheana is reinventing her music career while Schwartz tries to get “the band” back together. With Lisa giving Tom hard advice and everyone gathering at SUR for “See You Next Tuesday”, it’s easy to forget what season we’re watching. Meanwhile in Bachelor land, we had 2 episodes to cover! Joey and the women are tripping into love all over Malta and...

In our free-flow episode, we get into episode 2 of Vanderpump Rules and question things like: How could James be a voice or reason? Why is Lala not supporting Ariana’s boundaries? How does Ann do this crappy job? And other important topics. Meanwhile in Bachelor world, Sydney has transitioned into full-blast-mean-girl bully mode and is targeting Maria. We are already dreading the inevitable 2:1, a...

Well Vanderpump Rules is back, and we are here to talk about it! We start off discussing the premier, and then move into more Vanderpump tea with our thoughts on additional content from “Rachel Goes Rogue” and seeing the Toms interviewed on “The Viall Files”. We then transition into a brighter shinier Bachelor world, where energy is high and everyone is ready to fall in love. From wedding dress di...

Despite what we said last week, we had to discuss more of “Rachel Goes Rogue”. We bring some different takes to the table, and then chat about what we are hoping to see on the upcoming season of Vanderpump Rules. Then we are off to Joey and gab all things Bachelor premiere! Limo entrances, bad bananas, side-eyeing sisters, lots of kissing, producer roses, and more. Don't forget to rate and subscri...

Rachel Leviss released the first episode to her new podcast “Rachel Goes Rogue” where she intends to finally tell her side of the Scandoval story. Well we listened… and are here to raise our eyebrows and share our thoughts. Then to prep for Joey’s season of The Bachelor, we compare notes on the new women and discuss which of the women is most likely to kiss Joey first, have the best fashion, have...

We both share fitness as a passion and hobby, and thought the beginning of a new year would be a great time to chat about setting fitness goals and what realizing these goals looks like. We pull from our own experiences as athletes and coaches, and talk about timeline expectations, easy misconceptions, and personal lessons we have had to learn the hard way. If you love moving your body or aspire t...

We told you we would talk Golden Bachelor, and we didn’t forget! We cover what we loved, what made us cry, and what maybe wasn’t so “golden” after all. We muse about what made this new Bachelor show so special, and wonder if it airing with Paradise gave the mess on the beach a bad look. Then we dive into the dirt of the couples remaining in Mexico. People are dropping like flies after hard truths...

This week we are thrilled to wrap up our Great British Baking Show coverage with the season 14 semifinals and finale! We start with a rough Patisserie week to watch, where we lose Tasha to a lame laminated Showstopper. We are then left with Matty, Josh, and Dan in the finale. Despite our disappointment with an all-male finale, we were thrilled to see some fun challenges like eclairs and a forgotte...

This week we are making up for a missed podcast and covering the last two episodes of Great British Baking Show and Paradise! Dessert week leaves us with technical tears and questionable bombs, so thank goodness that party week delivered with fun challenges like sausage rolls and no-beige buffet spreads! Meanwhile in Mexico, everybody be “homie hoppin’”, leaving us with very few solid couples as w...

Botanicals week challenges the bakers to achieve that delicate flavor balance using spices and floral notes. Sadly, many bakers leave Paul and Prue wanting with bland bakes. That being said, we’re still dazzled by their floral jellied masterpieces. Paradise seems stuck with too many choices and passive connections. Everyone is homey hoppin’ and heart droppin’! Meanwhile, on Golden Bachelor, Gerry...

Pastry week was savory and sweet, but also sadly sour! We are mourning the loss of two of our favorite bakers leaving the tent after this crust-filled episode. Due to our busy weeks, we are not quite caught up on Golden Bachelor, BUT we always make time for the mess on the beach in Mexico. Tanner leaves Kat high and dry on her birthday to date and dance with Davia. Kat takes her anger out on a piñ...

Bread week had us raising our eyebrows this week. Top bakers were struggling to proof their skills… pun intended! Some of last week’s strongest bakers struggled to impress Prue and Paul with their bread-making abilities, leaving us shocked to see who would be leaving the tent. We find the beaches of Paradise messy as ever, and follow the trail of men’s tears to all of the drama between Kat and Bra...

WE’RE BACK AT IT AGAIN! And we are shaking things up by covering one of our favorite bright spots in life, The Great British Baking Show! We don’t want to be just a Bachelor podcast, so we are going to try something new and cover whatever show we are currently most excited about. Don’t worry, we are still watching everything Bachelor, and will be tacking on some fun hot takes and updates after our...

This week on Drauma Bonded, we are still aligned with the The SAG-AFTRA strike. While we are not discussing the Bachelorette, we are excited to discuss some new topics we are passionate about. This week we focus on the fitness world on social media, and how it impacts our relationship with movement and ourselves. We consider the pros and cons of access to so much information, the reasons we follow...

This week on Drauma Bonded, we are all over episode 3 of Charity’s season! Brayden always has a lot to say, so naturally, we have a lot to say in response. Charity is charmed by Brayden saying “he’ll try”, but the rest of the men are not convinced. The men really leaned into the Barbie date, but only Sean achieved the ultimate Ken status (all in the hair). Aaron plays the part of “right reasons” p...

This week on Drauma Bonded, we are excited to sit down and discuss the second episode of Charity’s season. We got to see the men’s athleticism during a classic Bachelorette “Dodge bowl” showdown, but they can’t compete with the record-breaking kiss between Joey and Charity! Brayden doesn’t seem to understand that Charity is dating 18 other men and keeps threatening to pack his bags. (K BYE!) Meanw...

This week on Drauma Bonded, we are chatting about the premier of Charity’s season! Charity navigates it all with charisma and grace. Her confidence and kindness is palpable and appreciated by the 25 men clambering out of the limos. We discuss the twist with Nehemiah, Charity’s “under cover brother”, and applaud Charity for forging her own path. Her controversial first impression rose pick has us b...

This week on Drauma Bonded, we are discussing the men on Charity’s season of the Bachelorette! We took this list of 25 men and pondered who would be most likely to…. be the class clown, be the most romantic, be the most fashionable, and more! Obviously these are just our first impressions, and we are eager to see who surprises us. We trust Charity’s flawless taste, and are looking forward to see w...

This week on Drauma Bonded, we are giving you some classic Jess and Mandy content. We had a hard time figuring out how to organize all of the mind-blowing moments from the three-part reunion, so we decided to just sit down and start talking about it. This free-flow episode will give you our raw hot takes on the scandal and all of the players in play. We support Ariana’s rage, question Raquel’s lac...

This week on Drauma Bonded, we are sorry to publish so late. After taking some much needed time, we are back with a banging episode! We break down everything related to the infamous Venderpump scandal that has been taking over pop culture headlines. Starting with the people in play and building to the freshly recorded last-minute finale, we discuss the "timeline" (disclaimer: it's hard to keep up...
