The Rosecast | 'Bachelor' Recaps with Rim and AB

Halfway through the season, Emily's patience is wearing thin. On two one-on-one dates, our lead refuses to award roses to both Friend Zone Travis and Ryan the trophy hunter. Will Arie, Jef, and Sean capitalize on their improved odds, or does John (?) have something up his sleeve?

Our biggest takeaways from this episode are 1) we need to get to London and 2) maybe don't besmirch the name of your potential future stepdaughter? Helicopter Kalon dug deep in the mud of the latter, and in the process got himself tossed off the show like a basketball coach who gets two quick technical fouls on purpose so he can make a dinner reservation. Also of note: Arie and Emily make out agai...

Mr. "I Have Kids Okay!?" himself Doug manages to secure a one-on-one date rose from Emily, while the A-team trips over themselves scrambling for her attention on a nautical group date. Plus: the most pointless two-on-one in show history and Ryan uses meaningless Southern one-liners the same way Obi-Wan Kenobi tricks storm troopers into letting his friends into the cantina at Mos Eisley. Emily's se...

Recall the most impressive fireworks show you've ever seen. Something similar happened at the conclusion of Arie and Emily's first one-on-one date on a carousel in Dollywood, a theme park dedicated to a country music megastar whose work we are unfamiliar with. Plus: Ryan, Kalon, and Allessandro jostle for position atop our Biggest Idiot power rankings.  Emily's season full episodes Listen on:...

The second episode of Emily's season has less Arie, less Jef, and almost no Sean Lowe. Instead, we were treated to a one-on-one date of Emily basically running errands and some "back at the house" confrontation between a dude who is a dad and a different dude who is not a dad. Thrilling stuff. Emily's season full episodes Listen on: Apple Podcasts Google Podcasts Spotify Follow us on social media:...

Rim and AB recap the premiere episode of Emily Maynard's season of 'The Bachelorette,' featuring Arie, the next Bachelor. What do we think of Arie? How has menswear changed in the last five years? Which one of us has a secret background in ostrich farming? Tune in to find out.

'Bachelor In Paradise' ended the way it began: with demonstrations of actual love. In between, of course, a lot of muckety-muck went down, and you can bet your bottom dollar Rim and AB discussed all of it. Settle in for a full recap of the BiP finale — from confusing breakups to an adorable proposal — along with a haphazard dive into AB's Mailbag and a special announcement. Listen on: Apple Podcas...

ABC throws a major curveball by announcing Arie Luyendyk Jr., runner-up on season 8 of 'The Bachelorette', as the next Bachelor. No Peter, no Ben Z., no Big Ant, no Dean (thank godness). Rim and AB get to know the new/old guy just hours after the surprising announcement.

As the B-team roster invades Paradise — Blake, the twins, Jaimi the fake wild card — will anything of substance come from their presence? Of course not, but we break it down anyway. Plus: The merciful collapse of the Dean-Kristina-Danielle lust triangle. (Full disclosure: You may notice tiny "hiccups" in AB's audio [not actual hiccups, AB's fine]. Your boys Sherlock and Watson aka Watson and Crick...

While Dean juggles two relationships, Rim and AB react to news of the next Bachelor, recap the week that was in 'Paradise', deliver a solid "toldja so" about Nick and Vanessa, and dig into AB's Mailbag. Reactions to the (probable) next Bachelor (2:00); 'Bachelor In Paradise' Week 3 Recap (6:00); Nick and Vanessa call it quits (53:00); AB's Mailbag (54:15) Listen on: Apple Podcasts Google Podcasts...

The second week in Paradise was even more chaotic than the first, with Dean thinking the grass is greener, Diggy finding a mate ten minutes after a different date, and charming Wells and sweet Danielle M. giving us an unforgettable 'Paradise' moment. PLUS: The debut of AB's Mailbag. Also, please forgive Rim for not talking directly into the mic this episode. He's apparently never recorded a podcas...

You asked for it, we listened. Fresh off a soul-crushing 'Bachelorette' finale, Rim and AB return to break down Week 1 in Paradise. We run down the good couples (Dean and Kristina), the bad ones (Taylor and Derek), and everything in between. Plus: How ABC approached the Serious Controversy. Listen on: Apple Podcasts Google Podcasts Spotify Follow us on social media: Instagram Twitter Facebook Text...

Rachel's season finale was not without controversy. Lovable Eric was discarded early, Peter and Rachel had the most emotional moment of the season (which was apparently a breakup?), and Rachel settled for the South Beach Creep in the end. With emotions still running high, Rim and AB do their best to sort through the carnage. Listen on: Apple Podcasts Google Podcasts Spotify Follow us on social med...

The much-hyped second episode of this week's two-night "event" resulted in unprecedented carnage and set the stage for an inevitable group of hometowns.

Two big off-screen stories broke this week -- Rachel's "serious" relationship with NBA star Kevin Durant and contestant Lee's dumb tweets -- and we didn't want to squeeze them into our normal episode recap.
