THE BACHELOR PADcast

Lance Bass wasn't the only person saying Bye, Bye, Bye to the Bachelor in Paradise beach this week. After countless breakups and a couple beach battles, it's safe to say this was one of the most dramatic episodes we've ever seen. We talk about each of the breakups, love triangles and what it means to have a former Bachelorette in Becca Kufrin on the show.

Lance Bass took over for David Spade as guest host in week 2 of Bachelor in Paradise. We rate both and wonder if the best host has been on the beach this whole time. We'll also talk about Brendan's Demi diss and the historic Riley-Maurissa date.

The Bachelor in Paradise season 7 premiere might not have been the most dramatic ever, but it certainly was the most crowded. 23 former Bachelor and Bachelorette contestants hit the beach and we take a look at the Day 1 couples. Plus David Spade's debut as a host and what Demi Burnett is bringing to the show next week.

The finale of Katie Thurston's season of The Bachelorette is here! We'll break down the only Fantasy Suite date, Justin's inevitable exit and Kate v. Greg 2. Plus one final look at the potential choices for the next Bachelor.  

Katie Thurston's hometown dates produced one of the most explosive episodes we've ever seen on the show. We'll try to make sense of just what set Greg Grippo off and the very different views people have on his behavior. Plus predictions on what we can expect from next week's finale.

Katie saw Michael choose to leave before the Men Tell All, and we'll break down the final straw for his decision. We also have all the details on Connor's mystery woman -- Tara Kelly -- how she ended up on the show and her thoughts about the kiss heard round Bachelor Nation.

Before Katie Thurston made her picks for hometown dates, she had her guys make her some... interesting art. Plus we talk about Mike's cringeworthy admission during their one-on-one cuddle date and why the Men Tell All might fizzle despite plenty of villains.

MAX joins the show to talk about his performance during Katie and Justin's date and spills some behind the scenes tea including the guy still on the show he thinks is in the friend zone. We'll also look at the most likely Bachelor contenders and speculate on what could make Kate demand a flight home.

Katie shook things up this week by bringing Blake Moynes into the house mid-season. But we talk about what helped take the heat off Blake (hint: it has a snort). We'll also take a closer look at the front runners and the predictable ending to Bachelorette Bash Ball.

Katie only had one date this week, but there was no shortage of drama. We'll break down not just the strategy Thomas used to try and stay, but how the rest of the guys pushed him out. We'll also talk about which Bachelor/ette stars got loans from the Paycheck Protection Program.

We'll break down Katie Thurston's group therapy date, Michael's one-on-one and the exit of one villain that leads to the emergence of another. Plus our thoughts on the men of The Bachelorette thinking they are on Survivor.

Bachelorette Katie Thurston had her first three dates of the season and there was no lack of drama. We'll take a look at new villain Karl's decision to drop an early season bomb and pick out a few front runners.

Katie Thurston met her 30 (!!) men without Chris Harrison as the host. We'll talk about the first impressions made on the new Bachelorette, how the show handled the absence of Chris and if someone should have a favorite hug.

The finale of The Bachelor certainly delivered on the drama, even without an engagement. Was Matt's mother trying to steer him away from Rachel Kirkconnell? We'll also break down Matt and Rachel's first meeting since breaking up and celebrate the TWO Bachelorettes on the way.

Matt James had his Fantasy Suite dates, but they were overshadowed by a sitdown with his estranged father Manny. We'll discuss if the show should have even aired the conversation and make some predictions for next week's finale and beyond.

The Women Tell All didn't really tell us much and we had some ideas on what ABC should've aired instead. We also discuss if the next Bachelorette star was on stage.

Matt James was treated to hometown dates like we've never seen before -- and it didn't work out well for him. We'll try to make sense of the latest woman to break up with him and make our picks for the final rose.

Matt James has hometown dates on deck and we break down his choices for the final four. We'll also talk about Chris Harrison stepping away from The Bachelor and why that won't fix the problems within Bachelor Nation.

Matt James welcomed Tyler C. to the season, but not before finally settling Jessenia vs. MJ. We do our best to make sense of Heather (Never Been Kissed on Colton's season) breaking her way into The Bachelor bubble.

Matt James finally cleared out some of the Mean Girls, but there's still work for him to do. We'll also take a look at how Rachael's one-on-one broke from The Bachelor norms.
