51. Joan’s Golden Bachelorette Recap Ep 5 | Love Is Blind S7 Ep 10-11

This week, we catch up on the latest episode of the Golden Bachelorette, which has basically cemented Mark’s position as the next Golden Bachelor? While we’re sad to see him leave, we hope he’ll be back for more in future seasons of the show. We also discuss Chock’s undeniable connection with Joan, our surprise at the men who get sent home this week, and those who make it through to hometowns.
 
Then, we chat Love is Blind DC, and how we think basically every couple needs to break up except for Garrett and Taylor. We discuss Ramses’ self-image of being a good guy, when he’s actually just an asshole, our surprise at Tim’s reaction to Alex after meeting his parents, our take on the end of Hannah and Nick’s relationship, and Tyler and Ashley’s increasingly disastrous situation. 
 
We also chat about the recent arrest details for Hannah from Love Island USA.

50. Joan’s Golden Bachelorette Recap Ep 4 | Love Is Blind S7 Ep 7-9

It’s a sad day on the pod, as we say goodbye to two Bachelor Nation greats this episode: Gary and Charles L. And while we love them and so many men on this cast, we also have to talk about the recent scandal surrounding Guy and the protective order brought against him by his ex-wife. We also offer our thoughts on Jordan, Mark’s close-talking habit, and who we think is poised to win it all.
 
Then, it’s time to talk about Love is Blind DC, which is finally starting to get interesting. Are Garrett and Taylor the most perfect couple we’ve ever seen on this show? What is actually going on with Ramses, and is he as liberal as he thinks he is? Why are Alex and Tim still together (and also why is Alex’s dad so wonderful)? Will Ashley work past Tyler’s lies? How has Nick not learned how to boil water in 28 years on this planet? Is anyone actually surprised at Steven’s gross behavior? We answer all these questions and more!

49. Love Is Blind S7 Ep 3-6

It’s official: this season of Love Is Blind should be called “The season of the The Ick.” In this episode, we dive deep into episodes 3 through 6 as the couples finally exit the pods and head to the retreats in Mexico. First, we break down what was (and wasn’t) discussed in the pods and the obsession with physical appearance that some couples can’t seem to shake. We reveal some shocking new details about Tyler’s personal life (major red flags), Hannah and Nick’s fraught connection, what really happened between Alex and Tim, and Leo’s epic meltdown and bizarre engagement to Brittany.

48. Joan’s Golden Bachelorette Recap Ep 3 | Love Is Blind S7 Ep 1-2

In this week’s episode, we break down the latest drama from Joan’s Golden Bachelorette season, starting with questioning whether kickball is secretly worse than baseball for elderly men. Then, we dive into Joan’s heartfelt speech to the men and what was really behind it, plus Wayne Newton’s unexpected/shocking cameo. Of course, Charles L remains our all-time favorite, while we’re on edge waiting for Chock’s possible exit. 
 
We also discuss the first two episodes of Love is Blind S7 in Washington DC. While the cast isn’t grabbing us yet, we’ve still developed some strong (negative) feelings for a few cast members (ahem, Leo). We also discuss the bizarre fixation on physical attributes throughout various couples in the pods, and why we think this season’s casting didn’t quite get it right.
 
We wrap up with a look at some of the other Fall TV shows we’re loving right now and Indra’s dreams of entering an amateur baking show competition.

47. Joan’s Golden Bachelorette Recap Ep 2

We’re full steam ahead with Joan’s season of The Golden Bachelorette, and loving every minute of it. First up, we celebrate Charles L, who continues to prove why he’s an icon of the season. Then we dive into the action: Mark is quietly turning up the heat, while Dan delivers a strong performance that’s hard to ignore. We also ask the question on everyone’s mind — why is Gil still here? And take some time to give a shoutout to the girl dads for melting our hearts once again, and, of course, to Bob for keeping it classy. We also take a trip down memory lane with some high school prom stories (and how Jonathan’s really pulled at our little heart strings) and talk about Joan and Chock’s noticeable comfort with each other at a Disney theme park.

44. Jenn’s Bachelorette Aftermath and Kaitlyn/Tayshia Drama

Just over a week after Jenn’s dramatic Bachelorette finale, lots of drama has ensued in Bachelor Nation and we are here to discuss it all. First we discuss Devin’s disgusting “my side of the story” video, which revealed a ton of unnecessary and intimate details about Jenn and their relationship. We also chat about Maria’s video message addressing her thoughts on the end of the season. We also discuss recent drama between Kaitlyn Bristowe and Tayshia Adams. And, of course, with no current reality dating shows on the air right now, we have to give our initial thoughts on the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, and the upcoming Fall reality dating show schedule.

We’re getting close to the end of Jenn’s season, and everything is falling apart? In this episode, we discuss Jenn’s final picks and why we feel she’s making a mistake. We talk about who we think wins, what we think is going on with them now (based on what we’ve seen on social media), why Jonathan and her still have something special, and how Jeremy literally “won” the Men Tell All. We also discuss the Love Is Blink UK reunion, including the breakup we didn’t see coming, the cast rumors we are obsessed with, and our overall thoughts on this season.
