The Rosecast | 'Bachelor' Recaps with Rim and AB

(If the wrong episode shows up in your podcatcher feed, delete the episode and refresh) What a finale. Blake's heart sank to the bottom of the ocean, while Becca seems ecstatic to be with Garrett. We recap it all, from the family dinners to the proposal to the AFTR controversy discussion. (Side note, our audio was acting weird and we couldn't really talk at the same time. So when you hear silence...

Becca's men and also Jean Blanc reunite to calmly and respectfully discuss their disagreements, allowing one another ample camera time without raising their voices.  Listen on: Apple Podcasts Google Podcasts Spotify Follow us on social media: Instagram Twitter Facebook Text the mailbag: (773) 234-7794 Hosted on Acast.

Jason smiled through two abrupt walkaways, gleefully ate crickets (with no sauce!), and capped off his journey with a post-breakup scrapbook delivery. Was it enough to warrant next Bachelor consideration? And how will Blake react if his worst fears are realized two weeks from now? Probably not stoically.  3:15 Blake date - daytime 9:15 Blake date - nighttime 14:30 Jason date - daytime 16:00 J...

Hometowns went off without a hitch, unfortunately. We would have preferred some familial strife. Thankfully Tia Booth came to the annual girl talk sesh armed with one gigantic wrench, just itching to jam it into her "friend" Becca's journey. Plus: Is Blake the new frontrunner? And is Jason good enough to play in the NHL?? 4:00 Garrett Hometown 13:30 Jason Hometown 20:15 Blake Hometown 29:00 C...

Colton's reveal leads to a bizarre exchange, Blake is deeply in love (and likely headed for crushing heartbreak), and Wills and Leo cash in their tickets to Paradise.  1:30 Did AB see a spoiler? 4:15 We’re in The Bahamas 7:00 Colton one-on-one date - daytime 12:00 Colton one-on-one date - nighttime 18:00 Back at the house 19:15 Back on the date 20:30 Garrett one-on-one date - daytime 22:15 Ba...

Becca's had a long week. Lincoln embarrassed her in front of the citizenry of Richmond, Va., Chris prowled through the night in desperation, and Connor wore glasses for the first time and threw her decision-making process into disarray. Will she make clear-minded choices amidst all this chaos? And can anything prevent a Garrett-Colton showdown on the beach? 2:45 We’re in Richmond, Virginia 3:30 Ch...

As the overconfident Chris unravels before our eyes, Wills takes a hard-line stance on chit-chat time limits while also pushing the boundaries of modern couture. Plus: A two-on-one date with no winners, AB's continued fawning over Colton, 'Proposal' talk, and some great mailbag questions.  2:15 Las Vegas 3:50 Colton one-on-one date - daytime 6:30 Back at the house 7:45 Colton one-on...

In a matter of minutes, Jean Blanc went from middling pseudo-contender on an average season of The Bachelorette right to the forefront of the franchise's Mount Rushmore of breathtaking meltdowns. Plus: Garrett's big reveal (not *that*), Wills' empathy, and a dash of 'Proposal' talk. 1:45 Cocktail Party 3:00 David's alive! 4:30 Golden Jordan 7:15 Rose Ceremony 9:15 Garrett one-on-one date - daytime...

Clay came in like a lamb and went out like a lion, a wounded hero who will not soon be forgotten. Plus: Did Becca forgive Colton for his rendezvous with Tia? Yes, of course, have you seen the guy?? Also David fell off a bunk bed because this show is summer camp for adult men. 3:45 First group date - night time 12:15 First group date - daytime 22:15 Back at the house 24:15 Blake one-on-one date - d...

Controversy erupts over an innocent photo, framed for special presentation and safekeeping. Plus: The first of Colton's many secrets is revealed, and it's serious enough that Becca actually considered sending that dreamboat packing.  3:45 First group date - night time 12:15 First group date - daytime 22:15 Back at the house 24:15 Blake one-on-one date - daytime 28:00 Blake one-on-one date - n...

If the season premiere is any indication, Becca will not hesitate to boot any guy with even a whiff of wrong reasons stench wafting off his sockless outfit. (Perhaps this is why Jean Blanc uses to much cologne.) Join your old pals Rim and AB back on the horse as we revel in the audacity of some of these limo entrances and pickup lines from the first episode of Becca's Bachelorette .   2:30 He...

Recapping the five-hour, two-night finale, in all its chaos and controversy. How do we think ABC handled Arie's change of heart? Should Becca and Arie's breakup have been televised? What do we expect from Bachelorette Becca? Has there ever been a less enthusiastic crowd to witness a live proposal? Plus: A loaded Rosebag. We appreciate you listening. We had a great time recapping this insanity, and...

In keeping with recent 'Bachelor' tradition, Arie professed his love to more than one woman in Peru, further complicating the overnight dates. Plus: Becca's (lunatic?) ex-boyfriend travels halfway across the world in desperate Hail Mary attempt to rekindle their love — but not before trimming his beard to perfection.  Listen on: Apple Podcasts Google Podcasts Spotify Follow us on social media...

We were promised confrontation, and ABC did not deliver. In a mostly unmemorable Hometowns episode, Arie managed to win over every family from the East coast to the West. After a shocking rose ceremony, who do we think will be wearing some Neil Lane at the end of all this? Plus: Some Winter Games talk and a loaded Bouquet. Timestamps: Kendall's hometown/AB on taxidermy (2:50); Tia's hometown/ Car...

Contender sacrifice, cats and dogs living together ... mass hysteria! The last episode before hometowns was filled with surprises. Seemingly weak connections were solidified while relationships that steadily grew for months were shattered in an instant. Should Arie have kept Seinne or Bekah? Is Lauren B. a serious contender? All that, and a breathtaking text hits the Bouquet.  Listen on: Appl...

Surprising contenders emerged from two one-on-one dates this week, but the real story of Paris is Krystal's shocking (to her, at least) departure. Kendall the wacky taxidermy enthusiast has morphed into the leading voice of reason and we are left with seven fabulous women who, to hear AB tell it, are far superior to our aging lead. Listen on: Apple Podcasts Google Podcasts Spotify Follow us on soc...

Fun. Passionate. Sad. Emotional. Excited. Futuristic. These are just a few of the different layers Krystal revealed to Arie in the latest breathtaking episode of 'The Bachelor." From the beautiful waters of Fort Lauderdale to the posh lobby of their hotel in Fort Lauderdale, this week was a whirlwind of love, drama, and outright deceit. The days of Chelsea's villainy have disappeared over the hori...

The follow-up to last week's dull episode was anything but: Krystal's ratcheted everything up a full notch, Bekah finally revealed what should have been obvious to Arie (she's pretty young, dude), and Seinne secured a one-on-one date with enough heartfelt moments for a nice Bachelorette highlight reel. Plus: A chaotic outdoorsy group date nearly takes a fatal turn. Timestamps: Chris Harrison under...

It was a tough week for Arie guys such as ourselves. Our fearless lead just kind of floated through the episode, showing little interest in the group date activities and spending more than half of his alone time with his lips locked with the nearest warm body. Not even comedy legend Fred Willard could save one of the two disastrous group dates, which were not nearly as fun as Chris promised. Plus:...

Arie's second episode included some truly head-scratching one-on-one dates. Between Becca's jaw-dropping sugar daddy date and Krystal's private jet visit to Arie's hometown, it felt like ABC accidentally aired Week 8 instead of Week 2. Plus: Are we willing to make light of an alleged childhood bumper car trauma? And should ABC blur out some of the more intense makeout sessions? Before you start th...

After five years away from the 'Bachelor' universe, Arie Luyendyk Jr. returns to the mansion in search of his future wife. How rusty is his game, and which contestants stand out in what appears to be a great cast? Rim and AB break it down as only they can.

Emily's breakup with Arie was truly heartbreaking. But as she wept and he held back tears, Rim and AB wonder why he didn't see it coming. Plus: What has Emily been up to since breaking things off with Jef, this season's winner? (The way I wrote that sentence makes it seem as if Emily is our guest on this episode. She is not.) Also, Rim was apparently not speaking directly into the mic (rookie move...

Mutual respect between mature adults outweighed what little drama was included in Emily's Fantasy Suites episode. Arie stood out with his reasonable approach to potentially becoming a step-father, while Sean struggled to spit out his "I love you" speech so late in the game.

The hometowns episodes of this franchise are traditionally some of the most exciting and revealing episodes of each season. This was not the case for Emily's final four. But! We'll still get some jokes off, and give credit where credit is due: Jef's heartfelt letter put him firmly in the lead of this competition.

No one has ever misread a situation more than Doug did while Emily was breaking up with him. It is among the most awkward moments in the history of this franchise. My arms are tightening even just thinking about it. But don't let Doug's cringeworthy moment distract you from the fact that Arie neglected to tell Emily about his previous relationship with one of the show's producers. Emily's season f...
