Episode 012 :: The Final Rose LIVE!

Recap of The Bachelor (Season 21, Episode Twelve)

 This is it! The big season finale of The Bachelor! Did Nick find love? Did he choose Raven or Vanessa? And is that person the winner or the loser? The Bros got together with 30 or 40 of their closest friends (including several winners from our social media contests!) for a Final Rose Viewing Party and found answers to these questions (and more!):

- Has Nick been on The Bachelor before? (It wasn't clear.)

- Why does Vanessa always seem like she's just figuring out how this show works?

- Does Nick have an elvish heritage?

- What happens when everyone in Finland starts crying at the same time?

- Is that what made Santa Claus show up?

- When did The Bachelor potentially "jump the shark?"

- Do Nick and Neil Lane hang out in the free time now that they're clearly BFFs?

- Does Raven take a stiletto to Nick's face?

- Did the surprise start to Rachel's season of The Bachelorette already ruin it?

Plus, our thoughts on Nick's final choice and an announcement about whether or not we'll be back next season! (HINT: We will!)

Episode 010 :: "Beware the Finlandian Romper!"

Recap of The Bachelor (Season 21, Episode Ten)

After last week's short, uneventful episode (of The Bachelor, not Bros Before Rose... we were still awesome!), Nick Viall and Co are back in the freezing cold tundra of Finland with progressively more torturous dates leading to the final two Fantasy Suite overnights. In this episode of the podcast...

- Matt points out what's wrong with the name of our Finnish locale!

- The group bemoans Raven's ridiculous romcom musical montage and the loss of any semblance of subtly!

- Everyone makes fun of cross-country skiing (except for Stacy... who used to be a cross-country skier)!

- Jeff averts his eyes as Nick's shorts get shorter than ever (and tighter too)!

- Nick gets an emoji named after him!

- Shara coins the phrase "Finlandian Romper" as she pinpoints the moment she knew Rachel was going home. (Though we're pretty sure the word is "Finnish.")

Also, we announce the winners of our "Final Rose Viewing Party Contest!"

Episode 009 :: "That Turtleneck is Eating Nick!!!"

Recap of The Bachelor (Season 21, Episode Nine)

Well, that was weird! This oddly shortened episode of The Bachelor featured the return of Bachelorette Andi Dorfman (why?!??!), a trip to Finland (why!?!?), a giant turtleneck monster (why!?!?) and Raven sharing far too much information at very odd moments (why!?!?!). Oh yeah... AND CORINNE WENT HOME!!!! (We know why!) Matt and Jeff investigate conspiracy theories and propose answers to questions such as...

- After disappearing from the show so often, should Chris Harrison have to reintroduce himself when he shows up now?

- Why are Andi and Nick such bad actors?

- After many seasons of avoiding it, why are people on the show suddenly so comfortable talking about their sex lives?

- What will the inevitable inclusion of Corinne on Bachelor in Paradise bring to the show?

- Can Nick fly a helicopter? (No. No he cannot.)

- How does the awkwardness of Nick's turtleneck, plus the awkwardness of Nick talking through his smile, plus the awkwardness of Nick's vertical kisses equal love???

Also, we remind you to enter to win an invite to our Final Rose Viewing Party on Instagram and Facebook!!!

Recap of The Bachelor (Season 21, Episode Eight)

It's Home Town week and Nick heads off on four VERY different adventures! From muddin' in Arkansas (it's a thing!), to church in Dallas, to oh-so-much shopping in Miami, to some very tense family conversations in Montreal, this week's episode had all kinds of crazy going on! Plus... WE FINALLY MEET RAQUEL!!!! On the podcast, the Bros toss out some thoughts and theories including answers to questions like:

- Is Raven's brother really a cop? (Or did he just get a used uniform from Goodwill?)

- How can you tell the difference between a real church service and a staged one?

- What elements of Corinne's Home Town Visit screamed, "RUN AWAY!" (There were a few!)

- What is the surprising formula for the perfect romantic moment we learned from Nick's visit to Hoxie?

- Are Corinne's dad's olives actually "world-famous?" (Or should we say, "Raquel's olives???")

- What element of Vanessa's Home Town Visit screamed "RUN AWAY!" (There was just one.)

- Why can't Matt remember that Vanessa's name is Vanessa and not Danielle???

- Why does ABC not treat its viewers well??? (We call BS on the promotion and ending of this episode!)

PLUS... we announce the winner of our "Double Date with the Bros" contest AND we announce our next contest!

Recap of The Bachelor (Season 21, Episode Five)

This week's episode of The Bachelor jumps RIGHT back into the Corinne v. Taylor drama and takes Nick and the girls to New Orleans and down on the bayou for some truly ridiculous moments that only The Bachelor can supply. Matt & Jeff try to make sense of it all and answer questions like...

- Why don't more sponsors trust Matt & Jeff with their advertisements?

- Have the producers run out of good ideas for group dates? (This was one of the worst!)

- Is Corinne really capable of eating ALL of the room service she ordered???

- Should Corinne ever say "Make America Corinne Again?" (No... she should not!)

- Who will win in the "Green Lantern vs. Deadpool" face-off happening in Nick's soul this season?
