Clare and Dale went on their first date, spent the night together, got engaged, and rode off into the Bachelor Bubble sunset in the span of about 90 minutes of TV time. That really happened. **New designs in the merch store**: https://www.teepublic.com/stores/rim-and-ab?ref_id=9558 Timestamps: 0:30 Was the episode good? 1:30 AB's Bachelor Headline of the Week 4:30 Chris visits Clare, swears a lot...

Dale dominates a group date for the ages, Clare sends the riff raff packing, and bah gawd—that's Tayshia's music! **New designs in the merch store**: https://www.teepublic.com/stores/rim-and-ab?ref_id=9558 Timestamps: 1:30 Clare sends Yosef packing 10:30 Dale miraculously appears 14:00 Rose Ceremony 17:00 DeAnna's visit 22:00 Group "date" 41:00 Zach J date 45:00 Back at the house 48:00 More Zach J...

Week 2 in the Bachelor Bubble™ delivered some clever misdirection, a rapid fall from grace for one of our early favorites, and a strip dodgeball game that will live in infamy. **New designs in the merch store**: https://www.teepublic.com/stores/rim-and-ab?ref_id=9558 Timestamps: 3:00 Big takeaways 6:00 First group date (love languages) 20:00 Quality Time with Clare 29:00 Back at the house 30:00 Ba...

At long last, Clare's season from the La Quinta bubble has arrived. With a more mature cast of men who might not even have to share bunk beds, the next few months will surely be low on drama. Right? Please note: We've decided to cover Clare's season with the major "spoiler" as part of the discussion. If you have somehow managed to avoid this news, it's in your best interests to refrain from listen...

TV writer Alyssa Litman and actress Taylor Misiak from the Table Flipping Podcast join us to give their impressions of Juan Pablo, expectations for Clare and [REDACTED] on the upcoming season of 'The Bachelorette', those weird promos, the end of 'Keeping Up With The Kardashians', Real Housewives of New York, Vanderpump Rules, the Philadelphia 76ers, and more. Each week, Alyssa and Taylor sit down...

To prepare us for Clare's stint as the Bachelorette, Chris Harrison saved the worst "greatest" season for last. Juan Pablo's journey to find love endured some late bumps in the road, shall we say, leading to a pair of the most memorable moments in franchise history. ----- [ rimandab.com ] Social: Instagram @rosecastpodcast [instagram.com/rosecastpodcast] Twitter @rosecastpodcast [twitter.com/rosec...

The good news is, we're almost finished with these GOAT episodes. The bad news is we were forced to revisit a season so recent that some cast members are still actively participating in Bachelor franchise shows. We discuss how our feelings have changed since originally recapping Nick's season in 2017 before the episode devolves into an extended discussion about Big Brother and the 1996 NBA Draft c...

A look back at Jason Mesnick, whose change of heart after his finale engagement was a watershed moment for the franchise and delivered television so compelling it would have made Christof from The Truman Show jealous. Unfortunately, his GOAT episode was a bit lacking, so Rim and AB were sidetracked even more than usual this week. Thanks for listening, and for your patience! Unrelated to reality TV...

First things first: There was seismic news this week regarding the upcoming season of The Bachelorette . If you do not know this news and want to enter the season completely and totally unspoiled, we suggest you skip to at least the 16:00 minute mark. Ali's season though, huh? What a love story. "Rated-R" was there for the Rated WRONG reasons after all, haha. And Frank, how did that cutie let Ali...

Brad Womack's two stints as the Bachelor may not have ended happily ever after, but his seasons did provide plenty of discussion-worthy moments. Plus: Not one, not two, but *three* future Bachelorettes.

It's not just the baggy suits -- the first seasons of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette were totally different than the shows we watch today. We discuss the breakneck pace at which Alex and Trista narrowed down their potential mates and the fact that just about everyone involved wasn't entirely sure what was going on most of the time. (P.S. Scroll down for a disclosure that may or may not ruin the...

Revisiting JoJo's (mostly) fairy tale season made Rim and AB realize how wrong we were about nearly the entire cast from 2016. Plus: Who's really the next Bachelor here, Tyler or "Tyler's friend" Matt?

Ben's season was the first Rim and AB watched together back in 2016, so we hold the respectful lead in high regard. How does it hold up? We discuss Rim's full rewatch and this week's truncated Bachelor GOAT episode featuring a whole lot of Zoom and not enough footage.

Kaitlyn's season ended with a beautiful engagement...though you'd never know it from this week's GOAT episode. We discuss the two-Bachelorette night one gimmick, Nick Viall's mid-season entry, the absence of Shawn Booth's proposal, and much more. Plus: Reaction to the huge BN announcement — Matt James is our next Bachelor. (Stat corrections: Rim messed up a few items this week, chief among them th...

It's no wonder ABC led off their "Greatest Seasons — Ever!" with the only Bachelor season with a fairy tale ending that carried over into real life, Sean Lowe's. Season 17 condensed into three hours felt like a breath of fresh air after the stink Peter left in his wake. We discuss the highlights, the presentation format, and what we'd like to see from the rest of these episodes. Thanks for listeni...

The adorable Bri and Chris were rock solid from the beginning—and their true love carried them all the way to a Listen To Your Heart victory. But! Rudi did not get to perform at the finale! In Nashville! Simply put, that is lunacy, and at recording time we were still not over it. Thanks for listening.

Having conquered all every notable Hollywood venue, our remaining couples hit the road for Las Vegas, where each of them apparently felt obligated to tell their partner they were falling in love. Plus: Bachelor producers decided they couldn't hide it any longer and finally unleashed "Shallow"...and it did not disappoint. Timestamps: 1:30 Couples reset 3:00 Chris shakes things up 4:30 Extended disc...

Chris Harrison's surprising twist designed solely to bring Brandon and Julia together backfired almost immediately, leaving us with four fewer contestants heading into week five. We discuss the Savannah and Sheridan's grace in the face of absurdity, another round of great performances, if anyone other than Bri and Chris deserve to win, Toni Braxton, and more. Plus: Comedian Nikki Glaser was kind e...

This is what we've been waiting for. Performances in front of a live audience, credible judges (with questionable levels of responsibility), and a defined path for the rest of the season -- and the final couple. Don't look now, but Listen To Your Heart is actually good. Plus: Raw emotion regarding Kristin Cavallari and Jay Cutler's stunning breakup. **MERCH ALERT** Non-medical face coverings are n...

Three dates gave us ample opportunity to evaluate the pipes on some of these singers, while romantic acquaintance triangles emerge and a classic outsider ambush takes center stage. (Bri and Chris if you're reading this we would love an invitation to your wedding thank you.)

Little different episode for a Bachelor show that's...definitely different. Comedian and author Kate Casey — host of the podcast Reality Life with Kate Casey — joins us to help break down the franchise's frequently uncomfortable foray into the world of music, Listen To Your Heart . Will any of these stage hopefuls emerge with a legitimate music career? Can heartthrob Ryan hang with the likes of Jo...

With the world at a standstill, Rim and AB discuss relatively frivolous topics such as the indefinite Bachelorette production delay, Madison and Peter's instant breakup, Peter and Kelley's consequential frolicking, Hannah and Tyler's flirty dances, Love Is Blind , and more. Timestamps: 1:30 AB describes the infant malady that caused our delay in recording (might want to skip if you're a squeamish)...

What began as a typical Bachelor love story quickly devolved into a syndicated daytime talk show complete with a spurned ex, familial strife, a bewildered host, and a raucous crowd. One thing is for certain: This finale will not be soon forgotten.
