"A Bachelor podcast that features more tangents than contestants." - podcasttime.io
Sheesh, there sure is little to talk about in this episode of the Golden Bachelorette. No worries, though, we fill it up with chatter about movies, music, and sex!
The Bachelor PhD is part of the Bridge Burner podcast collective.
In this podcast episode, Co-host Craig gets mad about getting old, Co-host Iciar re-enforces the phrase "absentee grandparents," and we generally argue about the merits of these "golden" shows.

Co-host Craig marks a moment in this episode as his favorite of all time. Co-host Caitlin and Co-host Iciar don't think so but still think it was a pretty cool moment. That's consensus! Do you like Devin? Do you like Marcus? How about Sam M, amiright? Come hear what we have to say on all these men and more!
The Bachelor PhD is part of the Bridge Burner podcast collective.
Can you believe it? Co-host Craig is still sick. This leads to a scruffy voice and also a shorter podcast description. Enjoy!

Hey, Co-host Craig is sick. That means two things: he's less interested in arguing about the Bachelorette, and, he's less willing to write a long podcast description. Hit the play button and join us!

Wow, Sam really screws the pooch on THAT one, right? We break that down by playing clips and laughing along. We also argue a bit about motivations and such, but really, it's all about Sam's gaffe.

Hey, we're the Bachelor PhD podcast and we like to argue, so in this episode we argue about a few things including whether Devin trauma bonded with Jenn and whether the ex boyfriend is a catch. Hit the play button and join us!

This week the guys strip almost naked to impress Jenn. Then the guys put their clothes back on and get into arguments with each other. Blame the clothes!

Co-host Craig once again tries to bring up current events and is once again shut down. Instead, we talk about the U.S. military, immigration, trauma-dumping, and various other things that the show's contestants prompted us to talk about, per usual!
The Bachelor PhD is part of the Bridge Burner podcast collective.
We're back on the air after a pretty long break that included some interesting political events that Co-host Craig tries to bring up. We then play our guess-the-intro-music game before settling in to talking about Jenn and her group of men. Hit the play button and join us!

That's right, if there's one thing we're sure of it's that Kelsey loves Joey. Oh, and Joey fears rejection, we know that too. Join us as break down the finale with some classic Bachelor PhD clips, takes, and banter!
The Bachelor PhD is part of the Bridge Burner podcast collective.
People are mean to Maria a bit in the Women Tell All, and Co-host Caitlin and Co-host Iciar are mean to Co-host Craig a bit in the podcast. It wouldn't be the Bachelor PhD without some mean people problems!
The Bachelor PhD is part of the Bridge Burner podcast collective.
We have a great podcast episode for you, one where we get into more arguments than usual. Our main point of contention is around Kelsey being told that she should "practice baby making" because "men like that." Who is on the right side of THAT? We also argue about Daisy being the top pick and for what reason Rachel went to the fantasy suite.
The Bachelor PhD is part of the Bridge Burner podcast collective.
Co-host Craig tries to explain to Co-host Iciar why he is freaked out by the Christmas tree farm. Meanwhile, Co-host Iciar tries to explain to Co-host Craig why she is freaked out by Daisy. Well, maybe not fully freaked out, but there are still lots of red flags! We also talk about Maria.
The Bachelor PhD is part of the Bridge Burner podcast collective.
In this episode we talk about Joey and his coldness, Joey and his hotness (see what we did there?), Daisy, Maria, and Kelsey A. Why wouldn't we?
The Bachelor PhD is part of the Bridge Burner podcast collective.
Today Co-host Craig and Co-host Iciar carry the pod as Co-host Caitlin is away. They talk about whether Maria is a Manic Pixie Dream Girl trope, whether Joey is hot or cute (or both), and whether the women have jetlag. Join us by clicking the play button!
The Bachelor PhD is part of the Bridge Burner podcast collective.
We start off by talking very briefly about the Daily Show, then jwe ump into reproduction. Does Joey want his own kids? Does the average male want their own kids? Is Joey just saying words to Lexi? After addressing these questions we talk about all of those dates. So many dates!
The Bachelor PhD is part of the Bridge Burner podcast collective.
We start off by being grossed out by chicken nuggets and lobster rolls. Then we try to unravel Joey's cuteness as well as the bullying that is going on (Co-host Caitlin and Co-host Iciar have some theories). After that we talk about surfing and then the movie Lobster.
The Bachelor PhD is part of the Bridge Burner podcast collective.
Co-host Craig brings up True Detective but has nowhere really to go with it. Meanwhile, Co-host Iciar ambushes Co-host Craig with some more hard-hitting relationship questions. It's just like last week, except it's this week! Hit the play button and join us!
The Bachelor PhD is part of the Bridge Burner podcast collective.
We start by wondering why the Canadian flag was blurred out, offering up a number of different possibilities including producer racism. Then it's a string of Co-host Iciar and Co-host Caitlin ribbing Co-host Craig for his past dating habits. We even get to some fashion at the end!
The Bachelor PhD is part of the Bridge Burner podcast collective.
We just know there are contradictions to weddings but we have trouble coming up with them. In addition to that, we actually... enjoyed the show? Gasp! That in itself is a contradiction. Hit the play button and join us as we nevertheless deconstruct the Golden Wedding and try to answer age-old questions.
The Bachelor PhD is part of the Bridge Burner podcast collective.
It's the last episode of the Bachelor in Paradise season and we have a few arguments left in us. First we argue about Kat and whether she's back to being hinged. Then we argue about Kylee's insistence on being engaged and whether that's unhinged. Then we come together to debate whether Mari and Kenny actually got married on the beach. And more!
The Bachelor PhD is part of the Bridge Burner podcast collective.
The end of the Golden Bachelor is upon us, but WAIT, there's a Golden Wedding coming up on January 4th that will probably keep us podcasting over the break. But as you know, Leslie loses and Theresa wins. They both do it in dramatic fashion, by which we mean, Leslie really lays her exit on thick! Hit the play button for that and all the rest!
The Bachelor PhD is part of the Bridge Burner podcast collective.
We're in different time zones and Co-host Craig actually enjoyed the episode we're about to cover! So, there's lots going on. We talk about everyone's journey including, of course, Kat's journey. Hit the play button and join us!
The Bachelor PhD is part of the Bridge Buner podcast collective.
Golden Bachelor gives us little to talk about, so we jump mostly into Bachelor in Paradise which finally gives us things to talk about besides Kat. But we do talk about Kat, too. Hit the play button and join us!
The Bachelor PhD is part of the Bridge Burner podcast collective.
In this podcast episode, we speculate on Kat's dewy, shiny look, what really goes on in the bathroom, who Gerry is actually in love with, whether he knows what love is, and more on Kat. Hit the play button and join us!

Co-host Caitlin is back with us and together we dig into some stereotypes about men and women. Then we wonder why there are only three women chosen to go to hometowns, and how many might go on to the fantasy suites. After that we're back to talking about Kat in Bachelor in Paradise!
The Bachelor PhD is part of the Bridge Burner podcast collective.
In this podcast episode Rob from Vanderpump Robs joins us once again. With him we discuss Kat, Theresa, Kat, Kathy, then more Kat. It's all in service of figuring out if Co-host Craig is indeed Team Kat.
The Bachelor PhD is part of the Bridge Burner podcast collective.
Co-host Caitlin is away this week so we're joined by the venerable Rob from the Vanderpump Robs podcast. Together we discuss the big Theresa controversy as well as the big Kat and Brayden controversy. We try to be very careful doing this because Co-host Craig is scared about listener feedback!
The Bachelor PhD is part of the Bridge Burner podcast collective.
In this episode Co-host Craig is confronted about his stance on the Bachelor shows and vows to be more positive. (Does he though?) Meanwhile we compare the Golden Bachelor's diner scene to a David Lynch movie, wonder why Hannah Brown is so famous, and talk about Sizzler.

It's the last episode of the season and we have a lot for you to listen to. We of course talk about Joey and Datun and a few other things, but whoa, you won't want to miss the song that we play at the end!
We try out a new method of podcasting which is co-hosts rotating during the podcast! We also talk about the distaste most people seem to have with Xavier, what's up with Brayden, the past Bachelorettes appearance, and the Golden Bachelor. Hit the play button and join us!
We manage to talk in-depth about this epidote despite Co-host Craig being grumpy about the content. First we discuss Xavier and his hour-long exit, then we go on and on about Joey, then we finish with Dotun and his supposed front-runner status. Don't' worry, we didn't forget about the Fashion Roundup at the very end!
In this podcast episode we first talk about whether we should change the name of the podcast. Seriously! We then talk seriously about the hometown dates and whether Joey is a good guy, what's up with Aaron's family, Xavier and his perfect resume, and Dotum's cool family. Hit the play button and join us!
First we talk about Joey and whether he looks like Greg Grippo. Then we talk about Dotun and whether he is the front-runner. Then we talk about the weather, especially in NOLA. Stay cool out there!
In this podcast episode, we speculate on whether bungee jumping is trauma bonding (spoiler alert: it isn't), then talk a bit about OceanGate and the horrors that unfolded there. We then talk about Brayden for a while and whether he was coming back (spoiler alert: he was). What is Co-host Craig's pet peeve this week? Hit the play button to find out!
The co-hosts first argue about whether Mastodon is morally superior to Threads, then we argue about a socially conscience coffee chain, then we argue about whether men weaponize therapy, then we argue about the Frier mascot. It's a lot of fun, join us!
In this podcast episode we record with just Co-hosts Iciar and Craig because Co-host Caitlin is sick. This leads to a little bit of a shorter episode, a few more arguments, and a shorter description! Hit the play button and join us!
After talking a bunch about the contestants, we once again get into the Chris Harrison podcast and Chris' never-ending quest for validation. Then we conclude with our now-famous David Lynch Minute. Hit the play button and join us!
It's almost time for the Bachelorette and in anticipation of that great day we present to you our countdown episode to the new season. In this episode we talk a lot of about the Calebs/Kalebs and a little about the Chris Harrison podcast. Don't worry, there's plenty of banter, too!
We start off by talking about other podcasts and then Co-host Craig tries to defend himself against a negative review. After that we get into the meat of this final episode, discussing Ariel, Gaby, and Kaity's intersecting journeys and Zach's numerous and repetitive apologies. Hey, we even talk a little bit about Succession!
The Bachelor Masters is part of the Bridge Burner podcast collective.
As we entered "sex week" (to use Zach's phrase) who would have known that the sex would be with Gabi and not with apparent front-runner Kaity. Now they're both neck-and-neck to the finish of all of this, with one having had sex and the other... knowing about it? It's really messy which leads to a really good episode. Who knew sex could produce good TV??

We're bombarded by two episodes this week which includes the Women Tell All that a couple of our co-hosts may not have watched in its entirety. Not to be outdone, the hometown dates lack a certain... amount of content, too. But we make a good, and long, podcast episode out of it by bringing up gender roles and psychopathy and once again talking about Chris Harrison's podcast. And so much more!
The Bachelor Masters is part of the Bridge Burner podcast collective.
We start off this podcast episode talking about Co-host Craig's lunch with Rob from the Vanderpump Rules podcast. This leads to some riffs about the big Vanderpump Rules cheating scandal. Does this relate to the Bachelor? A little bit, and possibly via the Chris Harrison podcast (blech!) that we once again revisit at the end. It's all here, hit the play button and join us!
Check out Vanderpump Robs, the best podcast about Vanderpump Rules!

We do the rounds talking about the dates that the women have with Zach, and speculate, once again, on whether the women actually like Zach. But then we get into the mission statement of the Bachelor Masters podcast and spend some time trying to figure out what it actually is, whether the Bachelor is really in a decline, and what it all means for us hosts of the pod.
The Bachelor Masters is part of the Bridge Burner podcast collective.
In this podcast episode we discuss things like whether Gabi is fun or not, whether Zach is a douche for telling Greer off on the iPad call, and whether or not the women have good British accents. And don't forget, we have our now weekly segment about the Chris Harrison podcast, but this time supplemented with talk about Victoria Fuller's new podcast. All the cringe is here, hit the play button and join us!

On this Valentine's Day podcast episode Co-host Craig gets caught up watching Let's Make a Deal and disrupts Co-host Iciar talking a bit more about the Chris Harrison podcast. We also talk about Brooklyn's fist-bump with Zach, whether any of the women actually like him, what's up with ATV dates, and a myriad other topics. Hit the play button and join us!

When the beds aren't pushed together they become modesty beds, just like the ones in this episode in the tent at the Natural History Museum. We have that to contend with along with Christina Mandrell (unexpectedly?) melting down. Then there are some boring dates and such. Hit the play button and listen in!

We're resisting naming this episode "Bad Bitch Energy" because we know every other podcast is naming their episodes that. And really, there wasn't much Bad Bitched Energy going on in this episode. Rather, there was some petty fighting, some meeting of the family, and some wondering where Patrick Warburton was. We end the podcast talking about our first concerts. Hit the play button and join us!
The Bachelor Masters is part of the Bridge Burner podcast collective.
We start out our coverage of the new season talking a little bit more about Chris Harrison's new podcast. Then we jump into the season itself by discussing our favorite women from the short time we've spent with them, and maybe a villain or two. We end with a chat about The Big Bang Theory and a little bit about Two and a Half Men.
The Bachelor Masters is part of the Bridge Burner podcast collective.
We're joined by Rob of the Vanderpump Robs podcast to do some pre-talk on the upcoming Bachelor season. Among other things we talk about Rob's Dad's bar and the movie Roadhouse. Then we do a full breakdown of Chris Harrison's new podcast. Then we wrap up by talking about some of the contestants coming up on the season and Zach himself. Hit the play button and join us!

It's the end of the road for this Bachelor in Paradise season, and we bring our deep analysis to each of the remaining couples. From classism to broism (is that a thing?) we discuss what we think are the relationship dynamics of Tyler and Brittany, Aaron and Genevieve, and all the others. Hit the play button and join us!
Our Co-host Caitlin is on sick leave today but Co-hosts Iciar and Craig take up the reins to talk at length about whether arguments are good or bad for relationships. What's up with Kate and Logan? Can Genevieve and Aaron stay in love? What about Andrew and how he handles conflict at the dance party? Give us a listen for our deep analysis, just hit the play button!
We spend a pretty good amount of time in this podcast episode wondering what's up with Kate. Is she faking her persona to get insta-famous? Is she trying to be a villain to make it on a Bravo show? Is she a psychopath? Okay, maybe not that last one (but maybe?). We also talk about whether Rodney deserves love and how the rest of the cast are also psychopaths (maybe?). Hit the play button and join us!
We get serious in this podcast episode to talk about Aaron's apparent trauma (he does talk about it himself) and reflect on people in our lives that might have demonstrated similar behavior to Aaron in his argument with Genevieve. Gen isn't off the hook in our analysis, as she contributes to the argument in her own, possibly selfish ways. We also talk about the love triangles. That's about it: we fit it all into one hour and eighteen minutes! Hit the play button and join us.
We hit all of the major points of the past two episodes, including Victoria and whether she displays sociopathic behavior, Kate and her vocal fry, Logan and his... looks? and all the best from Shanae and the rest of the group. Who will do anything for a rose!? Kate? Maybe! It's all here, hit the play button and join us!
We assure you that we're the only podcast around that actually found and subsequently play for you the song that was mentioned by Danielle to Michael. Ya know, the song about lighting a fire from past love that Michael then gushes about? Yep, that one! We also talk about each of the couples, or what's left of them after the split. It's all here, hit the play button and join us!
We're back with another podcast episode that is a bit longer than usual, because we ask the tough questions: is Michael A a bad guy? Is Peter correct that Brittany is looking for clout? Did the producers want Genevieve to be a villain? What's up with Aaron, bro? We try to answer all of these questions and more. Hit the play button and join us!
In this podcast episode we spend quite a bit of time on Michael A's apparent pandemic profiteering, per reports that one of his businesses seems to have done that. For Co-host Iciar, this leads to a whole teardown of Michael A as a person, widower, and dater! We also talk about the other people on the beach, but really, is it as spicy as our take on Michael A? Probably not. Hit the play button and join us!

Who has parental problems? Is it Michael's son, who has to weather a few weeks without his dad? Or is it Kira, who maybe didn't have a father growing up? We are, of course, totally speculating but it does seem that way, doesn't it? We discuss all of that along with some local Los Angeles politics, who DMed each other before the show started, and what we think of Lace.

We made it to the end of this dual-lead season and wouldn't ya know it, it ended quite differently for our two dual leads. We spend a good portion of the podcast episode discussing Rachel and Tino, and each of our co-hosts takes a different stance on what it's all about. Then we talk about Gabby and Erich and how ABC decided not to discuss black-face. We finish by talking about Zach as the new Bachelor (not really) before finishing the season with our usual Fashion Roundup.
The Bachelor Masters is part of the Bridge Burner podcast collective.
Co-host Craig hates cars but we nonetheless record a podcast episode where Co-host Caitlin is... in a car. If you can deal with some audio distortion, we do our usual Bachelor Masters deep dives, including into Aven's dismissal at the hands of a self-centered Rachel, Zach's dismissal at the hands of a self-centered Rachel, and Tino's, um, parent visit alongside a self-centered Rachel. We also address the current real-world controversies surrounding Erich and speculate as to how some of it could happen in our current century. Hit the play button an join us!
The Bachelor Masters is part of the Bridge Burner podcast collective.
Co-host Caitlin is back with us this podcast episode, and the crew discuss, at length, Gabby's three dates with her guys then Rachel's, um--how do we put this?--self-centered approach to dating her men. Not only do we get into the details of Rachel and Zach's fumble in the fantasy suite, but we entertain some conspiracy theories surrounding the fantasy faux pas such as whether Rachel didn't like Zach's politics. Join in on the fun by hitting the play button!
In this podcast episode we start off by talking about some particulars of the live recordings of the Tell All shows. Then, capital (ya know, the economic driver) comes up around product placement at the expense of the rose ceremony. We then debate the similarities (and differences) between Jacob, Nate, and Logan before talking a little bit more about the movie Heat. Sound fun? Hit the play button and join us!
We start off by talking about Canadian listeners to the podcast. Then we talk about a panel that Co-host Craig was on where he deconstructed Vanderpump Rules. Then we talk about the dates and, get ready, because we actually liked watching them! From quiet Jason to carnie Tyler to Tino's Dad, we couldn't help ourselves as we walked through each of the segments. And there's still more to come next week (Aven). Hit the play button and join us!
The Bachelor Masters is part of the Bridge Burner podcast collective.
We start off by talking over some news in the Bachelor and Bachelor Masters universes, then get on to the episode at hand. Nate comes up and we discuss his the presents of his child and how having a kid might impact one's dating life. Then we get on to the other dates, including Zach's date with Rachel where all they did, according to Co-host Craig, was talk about the date they were on -- fun! We finish with the Fashion Roundup where we once again wonder what's up with Rachel's outfits!
We spend a lot of our time during this podcast episode talking about some themes from Love Island, such as isolation. It's apropos because the Bachelorette contestants are stuck on an empty cruise ship (something that Co-host Craig tried to poke Virgin Voyages' twitter account about but failed). We also spend some time talking about fashion, like we usually do, but this time a bit more since Gabby is really bringing it and Rachel is not-so-much bringing it. Hit the play button and join us!
This time around we discuss Hayden and his ridiculous comments, including comparing him to Mike Pence in that he probably doesn't want to be left alone with women he works with. We mean, that's kind of inferred from the way he says to Rachel that he respects her... as a women. Gross. We also discuss why Rachel is generally feeling down, Gabby's propensity to say "yeah," quiet men, and sinking boats. Don't forget about the Fashion Roundup towards the end!
The Bachelor Masters is part of the Bridge Burner podcast collective.
In this podcast episode we provide a number of hot, informative takes on topics such as how Gabby was parented, why Zach and Rachel loved their movie-premiere date, and why the guys played football when they should have been courting. But more importantly, we wonder about the three guys who came in an insulted Gabby to her face, even thinking that one of them is racist, classist, or both. Hit the play button and join us!
In this episode we spend a fair amount of time discussing Chris and his sexism, meaning, how he sees the Bachelorettes (who he calls "females") behaving in the Fantasy Suits as counter to his narratives of how women he dates should act. Really, he doesn't want to be sloppy thirds. Eww. But also, really, this leads to a discussion of how anti-sexism has developed in Bachelor Nation where woke-speak can get you laid. What was that? Listen in to hear all the juicy details!
The Bachelor Masters is part of the Bridge Burner podcast collective.
It's the start of a new Bachelorette season and, of course, there are two Bachelorettes for... double the fun? So far the season is just like any other, except there is the (gasp) risk of a man kissing both of the Bachelorettes. Given all of this we start off by describing some new changes to the podcast, debate which Bachelorette the men are leaning towards, try to figure out who a primal cis het male would lean towards, then jump into the Fashion Roundup at the end.

The finale is here and, as promised on our Twitter feed, we dissect Co-host Iciar being LIVE IN THE AUDIENCE on Monday. After that, we dissect both final episodes in great detail and try to answer the big question: why is Susie back together with Clayton? Really… why is Susie back together with Clayton? Hit […]
We present to you, Dear Listener, the longest podcast episode in the history of the Bachelor Masters! Why? Because we break down not only the Women Tell All but also Clayton and Susie’s Tuesday-night meltdown. What sides will our co-hosts take? Will you agree or disagree? Hit the play button and join us!
Who does Rachel’s Dad hate? A lot of people, if you’re to believe the Bachelor’s crafty editing. We discuss that along with all of the other goings on during these hometown dates, including whether shark-infested waters are a good place to make out, Gabby’s questionable taste in clothing, Serene’s jungle gym date, and whether Susie […]
In this podcast episode we start by talking about Co-host Caitlin’s awesome vacation and welcome any new listeners that she might have convinced to give us a try. We then have some fun talking about Vienna, Susie-as-Disney-Princess and her humble bragging, whether we think the women actually like Clayton, what’s up with the final four, […]
Co-host Caitlin is on vacation this week, leaving just Co-host Craig and Co-host Iciar to deconstruct this week’s episode. True to past behavior, they spend the first good chunk of the podcast talking about tangential things such as YIMBY culture (sorry, Toronto), Gentrification (sorry, Hvar), and suburban sprawl (sorry, Houston). Once we get back on […]
Who doesn’t like getting roasted? Well, probably no one, but in this date we’re going to do it anyways. Well, not really, as the roasts didn’t transpire to much, and then it’s off to a 2-on-1 date! We know it confusing, hit the play button to join us as we figure it all out.
Here we are back at Shrimpgate though we do a pretty good job on this podcast episode of not letting shrimp be the main focus of our conversation. So, in addition to shrimp we talk about whether the actual villain is Elizabeth, ponder what is up Rachel’s whispering, try to figure out why Clayton doesn’t […]
In this podcast episode we continue our trend of bringing up obscure books/plays that our Co-host Craig had to read in high school. We also discuss the group date AA meeting, how they don’t know how to dress Clayton, Co-host Iciar’s breakdown of the Downtown Los Angeles scenes, Co-host Caitlin’s dissection of contestant behavior, and […]
In this episode a couple of villains emerge, one who thinks she’s actually the front-runner, and another who thinks mental health is something to joke around about. We discuss this along with And Just Like That…, more about Jesse Palmer as the host, whether we should watch the World Cup and Olympics, and and a […]
What can we say, there was a blur of gold sequin dresses to start Clayton’s journey as the Bachelor. We start off this podcast episode, though, discussing the Tournament of Roses Parade, which Co-host Iciar attended and saw Jessie and Clayton up close. Then we go into Clayton as the lead before jumping into trying […]
At the end of After the Final Rose, Michelle and Nayte are the recipients of a down payment on a house (via gingerbread house). This baffles our co-hosts who wonder how much a house in Minnesota costs and also just how much that check was for. We also riff on Brandon and his red flags, […]
We start off this podcast episode talking about And Just Like That…. And, just like that, we’re in the fantasy suite episode of the Bachelorette. It’s a tame episode which leads to a tame podcast, but we do touch on various aspects of the love that each contestant is in with Michelle. Plus, we argue […]
In this episode a lot of people forget how to apologize. But we Bachelor Masters don’t forget how to argue, in this case, about those apology-forgetters. We also get confused by Clayton’s preview footage, talk about crappy novels we had to read in high school, and, of course, end with the Fashion Roundup where we […]
In this podcast episode we talk about the four hometown dates which are all actually in Minneapolis despite only Joe being from there. Thanks, pandemic! And, we have a lot to say about the dates despite them being pretty boring overall. Thanks, parents! Hit the play button and join us!
We spend the first part of this podcast episode considering the best movies of all time. This reflects back on earlier days of the Bachelor Masters when such conversations were more prevalent. Then, Co-host Iciar leads us on a discussion of different forms of sexism, ie, Martin’s sexism versus Brandon’s sexism. Not sure what we […]
In this podcast episode we explore regressions in aspects of Michelle’s journey, for example, her ex who made her physically sick. The guys get regressive too, such as Martin’s un-woke comments on women in Miami. We also talk about whether Joe likes Michelle, wonder where Clayton’s personality is, and finish, as usual, with the Fashion […]
In this episode Michelle gets upset that the guys aren’t paying attention to her. And in this podcast episode Co-host Craig gets upset that friend-of-the-pod Jay in LA has seen the band Berlin in concert seven times. Co-hosts Iciar and Caitlin try to explain to him that people go to concerts and indeed see the […]
Rude awakening? That’s what Jamie must have experienced after the filming of this episode. He thought he was the singular front-runner only to be stopped in his tracks by Nayte and the rest of the fellas. We talk about that after going over some of the other elements of the show, such as Top Gun, […]
Like the board game Risk, the men on this season of the Bachelorette are starting strong with their strategies and gambits. Is Jamie going to be successful in both his lying about Joe and telling Michelle about the trauma of his youth? Is Joe going to be successful courting a women he ghosted so long […]
We’re back to ask the big questions this season, such as why Ryan would dare put all of his cryptic writings into a folder titled, “Bachlorette” (sic). Then we talk about all of the other men who stream into Michelle’s life with gags including an AC/DC schoolboy look, ruler play, and… actually that might be […]
In this podcast episode we speculate on whether the bad press that befell Brendan, Pieper, and Ivan might deter future influencers from running the same tactics on the show. But then we remember that Thomas, Aaron, James, and countless others have had successful redemption arcs on Bachelor in Paradise, so what is the risk? We […]
In this podcast episode we debate a few topics, including who was right in the Noah-Abigail breakup and who was right in the Aaron-Ivan argument. We also get into an fight over who is Co-host Craig’s favorite, which gets him pretty worked up. He cool’s down by asking Co-host Iciar and Co-host Caitlin about their […]
This week we have… actual alarm bells. Like, really, they’re going off in Co-host Craig’s building because they’re testing the fire alarm system. If you can deal with that, you can deal with anything including Kenny licking tacos off of Mari, Aaron’s big-time bro-out, Joe’s socks, and a big tropical storm that leads to no […]
There is only one episode of Bachelor in Paradise to discuss this week, and is that the source of Co-host Craig’s depression? Whether it is or not, he is good at projecting his depression symptoms onto his other co-hosts resulting in a melancholy first few minutes of the podcast. But it picks up after that, […]
In this podcast episode Co-host Craig starts us off by talking ethics, particularly, whether Pieper, Brendan, Chris C, and Alana are the role models of this season. Checking him in that argument is Co-host Caitlin, who actually has training in ethics. It leads to a good old fashioned Bachelor Masters argument about the rules of […]
In this podcast episode Co-host Craig insists that he is vindicated on a number of issues from last week. The other co-hosts disagree (except for maybe Co-host Caitlin who is in the middle). It leads to some raucous debate as they weave through topics including Tammy’s betrayal, Aaron and Thomas’ fight, Demi’s sexual weaponry, Maurissa’s […]
The energy is back in this episode so the energy is back in our podcast! Listen in for our deep dives into various contestants, including Maurissa, Thomas, and Aaron, and various events, including sex in the boom boom room.
