Recap of The Bachelorette (Season 14, Episode Eleven)

This is it!!! The last episode of the season (and last episode before BiP!!!) takes us to The Maldives to see Becca make her final choice! And while the episode didn't have much to offer, we sure do! We've got Friends references, leg-wrap fantasies, listener conspiracies AND we attempt to assemble a metaphorical FIVE LAYER CAKE!!!

Episode 046 :: Who The #@!$ Is Christian?

Recap of The Bachelorette (Season 14, Episode Ten)

Jeff and Shara are back and so is some dude named Christian who was wearing capri pants with his tuxedo! (WHAT?!?!?) We don't know who he is either and Jordan seems to really hate him when the men of this season get together for the annual Men Tell All Episode!

Episode review begins at 17:55!

Episode 045 :: Cold Leftovers and Blake Has To Pee

Recap of The Bachelorette (Season 14, Episode Nine)

It's another "Bro Before Rose" episode this week! While Jeff and Shara are out of town (RIP), we brought in some ringers to round out the panel with Matt and Stacy. Guests Aubree Vanderhoeven (who runs the Bros social media) and Bekie Barnes (Matt's Bachelor-obsessed cousin) helped to take a boring episode of TV and turn it into a thoroughly entertaining podcast! 

This week, we're in Thailand (don't pretend you know where that is on the globe!) for Fantasy Suites Week with the final three! We watched as ABC filled 100% of the time of a regular episode with 30% of the content! Don't worry though... we had a blast tearing this episode apart and getting into some of the deeper issues of this season!

Episode review begins at 36:30!

Episode 044 :: Holy Boring Hometowns, Batman!

Recap of The Bachelorette (Season 14, Episode Eight)

Welcome to our first Skype episode! Matt & Stacy are on vacation in Hawaii so the crew all Skyped in for this one. (So excuse the audio quality!)

This was the yearly Hometown episode and while it was a boring as expected, we bring the fun and do our best to make it enjoyable and entertaining for you!

Episode 043 :: Becca Is All About That Conch

Recap of The Bachelorette (Season 14, Episode Seven)

First, let's say "RIP Jeff!" Yes... this is another episode of Bro Before Rose as Jeff is on a quest to discover the true meaning of layer cake.

The latest episode of The Bachelorette takes us all the way to the Bahamas (decidedly better than Virginia) so we can see Becca squeeze as much innuendo out of the word "conch" as is humanly possible.

Plus, we discuss leg-wraps, Shara shares her own euphemisms (egg plants and slotted spoons?) and we all continue to ponder the metaphor of the layer cake!

Episode review begins at 27:12!

Episode 042 :: The Complicated Nature of Layer Cake

Recap of The Bachelorette (Season 14, Episode Six)

Let's just start with an apology. We're (kinda) sorry for the insanity of this episode! Everything goes off the rails pretty quickly and we can only hope that you'll laugh as much as we did!

As for this episode of The Bachelorette, we're in Virginia (why?) and Chris and Lincoln are HUGE idiots. And... that pretty much sums it up!

Not only that, but a listener review sends Jeff down a path we never quite recover from as we do a deep dive into the metaphor of the four of us as a layer cake. (Again... sorry!)

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

PS... Jeff really only had like 1/2 a glass of wine and was definitely not drunk. We were just joking in case anyone cares!

Also... here's the YouTube video we talked about. We challenge you to watch it and keep a straight face the whole time!

Episode 041 :: Two Men... One Date... Zero Brain Cells (It's the 2-on-1!)

Recap of The Bachelorette (Season 14, Episode Five)

Before we get to the recap (which begins at exactly the 30:00 mark!), we explain why our episodes are as long as they are and explore Jeff's hatred of abbreviated and/or combined words. We read and respond to some emails and laugh a lot and then we talk about The Bachelorette!

IT'S THE 2-ON-1!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We're in Las Vegas this week and, even on this season's slashed budget (thanks, Ralph!), we manage to have a little fun! (Very little.) The real news though is that Wayne Newton challenges the guys to write songs and they're horrible; Chris is a whiny baby who should have been sent home; Jordan isn't as bad as some may have thought (though still dumb as a sack of hammers) and David is the worst.

Oh yeah... and we take a moment (or two) to acknowledge the millions of people (and brands) suffering from BFD (Blurry Face Disorder).

Episode 040 :: Jordan Says ALL The Dumb Things

Recap of The Bachelorette (Season 14, Episode Four)

• Ashley I and Jared got engaged!
• Bekah M. and Tia fought on Twitter!
• Lincoln was in the news (and it wasn't good)!
• How Garrett got the first leg-wrap of the season and it lasted six whole seconds!
• Jordan speaks incomprehensible nonsense!

Episode 039 :: "And The Emmy Goes To... Richard Marx!"

Recap of The Bachelorette (Season 14, Episode Three)

Richard Effing Marx. What else is there to say? Okay, fine. We'll say more. In this episode, Jeff is missing so Matt is a lone bro discovering what it means to be a Wilhelmina model who wears nail polish and got 4,000 matches on Tinder in 2017 alone. Fortunately, Stacy and Shara were along for the ride to help him out until politics got in the way and an SNL sketch featuring Donald Trump and Kim Jong-Un going on a group date interrupted our regular programming.

So much to talk about!

Episode 038 :: "You Can't Throw A Dodgeball With Your Heart"

Recap of The Bachelorette (Season 14, Episode Two)

In this second episode of the season, we find that we were wrong about SO many of the assumptions and judgements we made after the first episode.

When the recap starts (at the 18:20 mark, Amber!), you'll hear things like...

• Jeff calling Jean Blanc every Jean name except the right one (Jean Paul, Jean Luc, Jean Valjean...)
• All of us changing our minds about Lincoln!
• How excited we aren't to see Bryan with Rachael again!
• Us learning the true meaning of, "Turn down for what!"
• Us decide that David is NOT as articulate with his words as he believes himself to be!
• Matt & Stacy's 8 month old daughter Violet try her hand at podcasting for the very first time!

• Start a swear jar for anytime someone says, "Let's do the damn thing!" (Ugh.)
• Get welcomed back by some awesome fans!
• Notice that the men this season are some of the most awkward ever!
• Use the word "package" a lot!
• Watch Stacy fall asleep while they record... again!
• Try to help Jeff remember his Instagram handle!

Episode 036 :: "Arie is a Wanker" (or "Form Beige Voltron!")

Recap of The Bachelor (Season 22, Episodes Eleven & Twelve)

Any goodwill Arie created for himself last week was pretty much burnt to the ground this week as he finished up the season by proving that he's not only the most boring Bachelor contestant but maybe the most horrible as well. (As bad as Juan Pablo? Maybe!)

We wrap up this fourth season of Bros Before Rose by giving our commentary on Arie's proposal to and breakup with Becca, his pursuit and eventual proposal to Lauren and, of course, the announcement of Becca as the new Bachelorette!
