The Betchelor

The show we’ve been waiting for is finally here. Paradise is already proving it has superior mess and drama that we cannot wait to watch. When you go on Paradise you’re there to either make or break your reputation. And let’s just say, a few people have already made it clear they are there to ruin theirs. Kay and Jared plan out a foolproof way to get through the first week as a contestant, you're...

Jesse Palmer was a week too early hyping up the drama, but it finally arrived. We’ve waited what felt like years for said drama, and it did not disappoint. We got proposals, we got breakups, we even got cheating. After a long season of lackluster relationships, Gabby finally gets her ring and Rachel gets her time in the spotlight. For the grand finale, they announced the most cliché man as our nex...

On this bonus episode, Jared and Kay talk to Natasha Parker (@natashaparker) about what she’s been up to since her time on The Bachelor/Bachelor in Paradise. She gives us an inside look to New York Fashion Week, shares some details about past relationships (trust us, it’s good), and her luck with dating apps. After this episode, Jared is expecting to be her plus one to the next NYFW event, but he’...

We finally got to watch the life-changing episode they promised us, and let’s just say it fell a little short of life-changing. Watching this live finale, in the words of Zach, “it was tough”. We had contestants self-eliminating, a surprisingly happy Tony, Grandpa John, and just a sprinkle of drama. For “the most dramatic finale ever” it really wasn’t that dramatic. Kay and Jared go into detail an...

We finally made it to fantasy suites where we are gifted a two episode week. Night one we follow the dates of Gabby & Erich, Rachel & Aven, Rachel & Tino, and Gabby & Johnny. The second night we get an hour of Gabby & Jason, a little bit of Rachel & Zach, and a whole lot of unresolved drama that Jesse so graciously said we have to wait to see. Thanks Jesse! Its finally getting good and we have to...

On this bonus episode, Jared talks with Grocery Store Joe (@joeamabile1) and Serena Pitt (@serena_pitt) about their experience on The Bachelor and all things grocery. We get the inside scoop on what happens after the show wraps up – secret vacations and fancy Airbnbs, who knew? Jared also decided Joe’s life story needs to be a Hallmark movie and the plot just writes itself. He also jumps on the ch...

We were promised Men Tell All, instead we got ads, a hometown, and more ads. Starting the episode with a hometown was definitely out of place, but it somehow made the episode worth watching? Otherwise it would have been two straight hours of infomercials. The lack of villain appearances made it a relatively undramatic Men Tell All, which is not surprising based on the rest of the season. Roby was...

We made it to hometowns – Jared’s favorite episode of the season. We managed to get more emotion packed into one episode than we have the whole season. Jared and Kay talk through each guy’s hometown date, most of them were your typical Bachelorette style visit. But every year there is always one family that surprises us. This year that award went to Tino. Jared presents his theory behind what happ...

On this bonus episode, Kay and Jared talk numbers with Suzana Somers of @BachelorData. Somehow Suzana figured out a way to make Excel entertaining, and guess what – it includes the Bachelor. Who gained the most followers? How much screentime does each contestant get? How many canceled cocktail parties were there? These are the hard-hitting questions and she’s got all the answers. Bachelor Data mig...

One week until hometowns! Don’t worry, we’re just as surprised and confused as you. Jared doesn’t feel comfortable meeting the families yet - we still don’t know anything about these guys! The lack of drama has really created a lack of interest in this two bachelorette format. We’ve got Nate who didn’t fight to stay and Tino getting a little too worked up after not getting the group date rose, but...

Somehow we’re only 2 episodes away from hometowns… but this week is apparently Logan week. ICYMI Logan is switching teams from Rachel to Gabby—‘the ol’ switcheroo’ as Jared puts it. And, Kay is so done with the Rachel sob story. Another rejection doesn’t warrant a canceled group date. Then, J and Kay discuss how Rachel and Gabby are the epitome of dating tropes: Rachel’s the disheartened dater who...

It finally feels like we aren’t making things up as we go along. This week Kay and guest host Brendan Scanzano get into the details of who’s gonna make it and who needs to just go home. Rachel and Gabby head to Paris where they have their one-on-ones with Tino and Jason, all seems to go according to plan. Later we get two separate group dates, somehow both of them turn out to be all about Rachel....

On this bonus episode, Jared and Kay chat with Claire Fallon and Emma Gray from the Love To See It podcast. What happens when you get four Bachelor lovers on a podcast? They solve all the problems with the show, including how to fix the two-Bachelorette format. Jared gives Claire and Emma three wishes on how they could make the show better and Kay shares her desire for a real-time feed with 24/7 f...

Three weeks in and we finally have a clue of how this season is going to work… kinda. Rachel and Zach match personalities (or lack thereof) on their movie premiere date and producers use one of their lifelines to call in Grandpa John for Gabby and Erich’s bowling date. Kay and Jared want to know why we’re doing one-on-ones when we still have no idea who half these guys are. Maybe if they invite th...

Welcome to frat mansion! Except at this frat party the ratio is slightly better than most. Two whole women! While the ladies have their very own lair this season, it also pays homage to the OG bachelor with zero-gravity and helicopter hot-tub dates. But Jared and Kay want to know more about Rachel and Gabby’s deliberation process. How do they decide who goes home and who gets a rose? In their lair...

The Bachelorette premiere is finally here. Jared sits down with Tess Tregellas to break down every moment of the episode, from awkward first impressions to clumsy magic tricks to uncomfortable kisses. They point out the guys’ entrances that stood out, as well as their thoughts on which of them are really here for the long haul. They also get into the puzzling lack of structure to the episode, and...

ICYMI Jared and Kay have been combing through cast pictures and descriptions of Gabby and Rachel’s contestants for the season. In this episode, starting with Joey (#12 on ABC's Bachelorette 'Meet the Cast'), they finish up what they started last week. From the male twins on the show, to Johnny The Rapper (and scammer), to Disney channel original series looks, to the Van life, Jared and Kay get int...

Jared and Kay are back after a (way too long) offseason full of breakups and proposals – which did they see coming and which came out of nowhere? They also debate the two-Bachelorette format for the season, and why it was time to mix things up. Then it’s time for every Betchelor fan’s fav time of year, as they comb through the list of preseason cast pictures, starting with the first half of the gu...

Kay and Jared are back for the last episode before going on a very much needed and well-earned hiatus. Kay kicks off the episode sharing her eventful weekend in San Diego with a veritable cast of Bachelor Nation alumni. Then, they dive into the recently released pictures for the cast of next season's Bachelorette(s) and give their way-too-early first impressions on the contestants. We're off for a...

After a week to digest the finale, Kay and Jared are back with fresh eyes to hand out The Betchies for the eventful season of The Batchelor we just witnessed. They start off with some general catchup on a few Bachelor Nation topics, including Nick Vial's new upcoming book, before diving into all the awards. They give their thoughts on the season's most memorable moments, including The Best Date, C...

Kay, Jared, and Chris are back for the dramatic conclusion of Clayton’s season! They start with their impressions of the episode as a whole and then get into all details. They talk about Clayton’s unwillingness to let Susie go and the bizarre circumstances of their eventual conversation. They also wonder how the hell he thought breaking up with two women at the same exact time was acceptable in an...

It’s finally here. Part one of the most DRAMATIC season finale EVER has arrived. Kay, Chris and Jared pick up right where we left off last week, with the Rose Ceremony from Hell. They get into Clayton "following his heart" by telling three women he’s in love with them, and just how he managed to convince Gabby and Rachel into meeting his family after they seemed so ready to call it quits. They als...

It’s Fantasy Suites week and a doozy it was. They quickly jump into the break up heard around the world, examining things from everyone's side, including the viewers. Then they close the episode with their Weekly Categories, including some Would You Rathers, Cringiest Moments, Jared’s Minute, and the Will You Accept This Rose. Make sure to check out yesterday's episode to fully catch up on this we...

Kay, Chris, and Jared are back to talk all about the loudest episode yet this season: The Women Tell All. They get into the seemingly unending grievances the women have against each other and the return of everyone’s favorite villain: Shanae. They also break down all the questions surrounding the ending of the season and why Jesse Palmer's claim that this is the most dramatic season of the Bachelo...

It’s Jared’s favorite time of the season people, Hometowns are here! Jared and Chris are here to break it all down. They start off Suzie’s Jiu Jitsu date with Sensei Dojo Rogan. Then they get into Gabby’s hometown, featuring her witty grandfather and her father’s totally not staged ‘Love, Actually’ moment. Then it’s time for Serene’s daredevil stunts, which had Clayton trembling like a twig. Final...
