Episode 028 :: Krystal is the Worst!

Recap of The Bachelor (Season 22, Episode Two)

This week on the show, we're missing Stacy as she watches after the twins while Matt, Jeff and Shara tear apart this episode of The Bachelor and make statements like...

• We should change the subtitle of our show to "Men Who Watch The Bachelor... So You Don't Have To!"
• Krystal is the worst!
• Ari makes out with girls so they can't ask for more jewelry!
• Ari looks GOOD in a motorcycle jacket! (That one was all Jeff!)
• Bunny rabbits can scream!
• We should really learn the rules to this show!
• Bibiana is equally crazy AND awesome!
• Demolition Derby would be REALLY fun!
• A person who does taxidermy is a "taxidermotologist!" (That one was all Matt!)

All that AND we check in with our resident fact-finder, Abby P; read some emails from listeners; and wonder all kinds of things about taxidermy!

Episode 025 :: "A Bunch of Weirdos" OR "The Wisdom of Wells"

Recap of Bachelor in Paradise (Season 4, Episodes Seven and Eight)

 We couldn't decide on one title, so we chose two! As Paradise begins to wind down, we get two new suitors (who are not long for Paradise!), a rose ceremony, a few new ladies and Jack Stone gets to make out with a lot of girls!

Also, Dean is still the worst. (Such a Dean-Hole!!!)

PLUS... we've got a bonus Skype interview with the winner of this week's Instagram contest and our official fact-finder/fan/friend, Abbie P. from Indiana!

Episode 024 :: "Don't Be A Dean-Hole!"

Recap of Bachelor in Paradise (Season 4, Episodes Five and Six)

Dean is the worst. (We even turned him into a curse-word!) If saying that here isn't very convincing, listen to this episode to learn why he's the worst as well as:

• Why Jack Stone is less creepy with a blindfold on!
• Why it's totally natural for Christen to lead with her V card! (Hint: It's not!)
• How Jasmine is incredibly mature and able to move on from situations without fixating on them at all! (Hint: She's not!)
• Why it's CRAZY that Matt is stealing girls in Paradise!
• How "Scallop Fingers" might be the dumbest nickname ever!
• The acrostic that the letters in Dean's name make!
• Also, an idea for a new Etsy shop! (Cross Stitch Acrostics. anyone???)
• Why it's INSANE that Sarah and Alexis went home while Lacey and Jasmine are still there!
• Why, even though Dean is pretty much the worst person ever, Kristina has to take some responsibility for the situation!
• Why Daniel's unpredictability is amazing! 
• How Canadia is, apparently, not a place.
• How Daniel being the result of intercourse between a Mexican wrestler and a Teletubby makes more sense than anything he's ever said!
• Why we can't understand the appeal of the Tickle Monster!

PLUS... a new Fan of the Week, emails from fans and a brand new Instagram contest that could get YOU on the show next week!!!

Episode 023 :: "The Downfall of the Deanie Baby"

Recap of Bachelor in Paradise (Season 4, Episodes Three and Four)

More Paradise this week as we head back to Mexico for some truly awkward encounters and cringe inducing moments including...

• Dean proving that the one way you can screw up your awesome reputation is to treat an orphan poorly!
• Adam showing up to destabilize the balance of power!
• Robbie wearing a hat (yea!) and then taking it off (boo!).
• Kristina trying to talk to Dean and Dean responding that he needs to take a shower!
• Adam getting attacked by a GIANT BAT-MOTH!
• Raven brings back the "ride or die!"
• Ben Z. keeps talking about his dog! (And then he talks about his dog some more!)
• Alex hits on EVERY GIRL in an attempt to get a rose!
• Dean gives D-Lo a 1/2 birthday cake right in front of Kristina!
• Sarah thinks she's in a Nicholas Sparks novel, not realizing that this would mean that one of them is dying!
• Nobody wants to date Lacey!
• Diggy bails on Lacey for Dominique 11 minutes after their date together!

But it wasn't all bad! The ending with Danielle and Wells was the highlight of our Bachelor lives!

PLUS... we interview Bachelor hopeful, Jimmy Von Thron!

Episode 022 :: Paradise Lost... and Found! (We're Back!)

Recap of Bachelor in Paradise (Season 4, Episodes One and Two)

This is it... the moment we've been waiting for since this podcast began! The premiere of Bachelor In Paradise! The Bros and their wives are back to recap each episode starting with these first two that... well, they don't fit the normal BIP roadmap!

Hear thoughts on...

• How we believe Dean and Kristina are perfect for each other (so it will never work out!)
• How weird it is to see the DeMario/Corinne train speeding down the tracks when we already know the destination!
• How we REALLY hope that Wells (who isn't there for love) is the one who leaves with love!
• How unaware Iggy is about... well, pretty much everything!
• How (before everything went down) DeMario's whistle was the new Josh's pizza!
• How much we LOVE Evan and Carli (mostly Carli) and really enjoyed their wedding even though it was filler!
• How Jasmine scares us!
• How Jack "The Ripper" Stone scares us!
• How Jack and Jasmine maybe should be together!
• How there was so much to comment on that we're running out of room here!

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

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!
