Episode 021 :: Rachel Makes Horrible Decisions (The End)

August 08, 2017 by matt barnes in The Bachelorette

Recap of The Bachelorette (Season 13, Episode Eleven)

"Although we've come... to the end of the road... still I can't let go..." Boyz II Men

Well, we came to the end of the road for this season, but after what we just saw, we're pretty glad to let go! The title pretty much sums it up! After a season of rooting for Rachel and believing in her, she really just ended up letting us down!

Join us as we share...

Why we're so excited for Bachelor In Paradise!
Our thoughts on the Fantasy Dorm Room that Peter and Rachel shared!
How cooking bacon without a shirt is dangerous!
The point at which we realized that the producers had duped us into watching the finale and After the Final Rose at the same time!
Why Rachel was wearing chainmail to the final Rose Ceremony.
How we think Eric looks better with a beard!
The point at which we realized that Rachel is being questionable.
The point at which we all completely abandoned Team Rachel!
Our belief that Peter was not only completely justified in his beliefs, but that he was possibly the only rational person ever to be on this show!
Why we're so excited for Bachelor in Paradise!

All this and oh so much more on this episode of Bros Before Rose!

Episode 019 :: The Gong Show! (aka - Awkward Family Therapy)

July 18, 2017 by matt barnes in The Bachelorette

Recap of The Bachelorette (Season 13, Episode Eight)

All four of us in a room recording together again! It's so wonderful... until it gets super awkward on one of the Home Town Dates!!! Matt and Jeff and Shara and Stacy (when she's awake!) chime in on one of the most awkward moments in Bachelor history and come to realizations like...

- A former Bachelorette contestant (who just went home LAST WEEK!) is one of our Fans of the Week!

- Eric thinks so highly of himself that he gave himself the nickname, "E-Bigger!"

- It's good to explain to people what you mean when you tell them you love them.

- We still don't like Brian.

- Or Eric. (Sorry... that's E-Bigger.)

- Brian's mom is cray-cray!

- Rachel doesn't realize that Brian's mom is serious when she threatens to kill her!

- Peter may have been adopted.

- We visit Dean's dad for no good reason and put him through a horrific experience that doesn't belong on this show.

- Rachel makes the first decision that makes us question whether we like her.

- We're VERY excited for the return of Bachelor in Paradise!

Episode 018 :: A Giant Chair, A Broken Fire Hydrant and Rachel's Final Four

July 11, 2017 by matt barnes in The Bachelorette

Recap of The Bachelorette (Season 13, Episode Seven)

Jeff is back!!! (Woo hoo!) But Shara is gone! (RIP) The Bros (plus Stacy) soldier on through this episode of craziness and seek answers to questions like...

- Is a broken fire hydrant a main attraction in Geneva, Switzerland?

- Do the producers of The Bachelorette not know how to properly mount a GoPro after all this time?

- Does Brian really want to consume all of Rachel?

- Why can't contestants on this show ever do simple math?

- Has Dean been dumb this whole time and we just missed it?

- If Rachel has to choose between keeping Eric, Matt and Adam... does it really matter?

- How does Adam think he has a shot at this? (Seriously.)

- Why can't any of us possibly care about any of the words coming out of Adam's mouth?

Episode 017 :: "Rachel Lindsay: Scandinavian Assassin"

June 28, 2017 by matt barnes in The Bachelorette

Recap of The Bachelorette (Season 13, Episodes Five AND Six)

With Jeff out for the week, Matt finally gives Stacy and Shara their own mics and the three of them cover 4 full hours of The Bachelorette this week! (Though, like Corinne at a Rose Ceremony, Stacy napped her way through much of the recap!) With so much ridiculousness to cover, you know it's gonna be a good time as they address questions such as...

- How is Matt still here?

- Why is Lee the worst person on the face of the planet?

- Is it "Wiking" or "Viking???"

- How come, even though the 2-on-1 date is formulaic, it's always amazing?

- Does Ikea provide all the furniture for all of Sweden, or do they just get their inspiration from Swedish furniture?

- What is it that makes Kenny the most legit dad around?

- If we have a dude and two ladies hosting, is it still Bros Before Rose???

Recap of The Bachelorette (Season 13, Episode Three)

Umm... when did The Bachelorette turn into The Beverly Hillbillies??? Things got weird as we saw mud wrestling, horses in stores and lots of pole dancing/stripping going on! Matt and Jeff (or "Jeff and Matt" if you ask Jeff*) share their thoughts on topics including:

- Poor Fred's heartbreaking dismissal!

- Horses + Rodeo Drive + Expensive Shops = NOT A THING!!!

- Whether Anthony is boring or just normal!

- The fact that Jack Stone shall henceforth be known as "Jack The Ripper!"

*Guess who writes these descriptions!

May 23, 2017 by matt barnes in The Bachelorette

Recap of The Bachelorette (Season 13, Episode One)

We're back!!!! After a lackluster season of The Bachelor (so long, Nick!), we've got Rachel in all her awesomeness and a bunch of dudes and their varying degrees of awesomeness (or not-so-awesomeness in some cases)! Join Matt and Jeff as they attempt to answer questions like:

- Is Rachel really a lawyer or does she just play one on TV?

- Why does Alex bring a vacuum and dance through several scenes of the episode with it?

- Was Adam's doll from the New Orleans haunted house of last season?

- Is Brian's attempt to swallow Rachel whole better than Nick's vertical kissing issue?

- Is it helpful or hurtful for Tesla to do product placement on this show?

- Why do some people actually think that the Backstreet Boys are better than N'Sync?

- Is Lucas ("Mr. Waboom") this season's Corrine? (He does seem to be the worst!)
