Adam and Taylor are back with a new MATTchelor and run down all of the good, bad, sophistifunk, and producer plants on this season. Chris Harrison is afraid to say Black so he lets everyone else say it. Only certain people have a colloquial implant, we witness the return of the Instagram face, and we talk about infrastructure ie: how to get to that mouth.

And here's that thread about Kristin: https://twitter.com/kristinbhopkins/status/1345422628983627779?s=20

What we mean when we talk about the Instagram face: https://www.newyorker.com/culture/decade-in-review/the-age-of-instagram-face

Adam and Taylor discuss whether or not the game was rigged from the beginning. Adam doesn't know what he's watching and confesses he was a stan for the Mole. Ivan went home on a technicality, Ben pretty much came back to get his laundry, and Tayshia starts planning for the future as Mrs. Clark.

Adam and Taylor head to Palm Spring's nicest trailer for Fantasy Suite week, the producers told Ivan to say some version of that important phrase, Tayshia is buying whatever Zac might be hiding (or selling), Adam is a highfalutin girl who loves an ice bath, Brendan breaks our hearts, Taylor teaches Adam about body-con dressing, and your selfish ex is back for the clarity that you never wanted.

Adam and Taylor are joined by Carp in this special hometown friend zone, Brendan is from the East Coast in general but definitely New England, we met a white child named Aliyah, some metabolisms just get the job done, Ivan's brother made people cry and Ben's family friend made people a four-star dinner.

We're kind of famous! Read this article on Teen Vogue about The Bachelorette, how they've handled some of the more sensitive topics on this season, and what we (Taylor) had to say about it: https://www.teenvogue.com/story/the-bachelorette-black-lives-matter-mental-health

Adam and Taylor thought bold font JoJo was going to do something, the woo woo is a noun and an adjective, there's something about Blake that we don't like but we can't quite put our finger on eh, Tayshia's body is really going through something this week, start your engines for Two Minutes Hate and remember Clare?

Adam and Taylor cross a few frontiers to have a discussion about friendship, Tayshia falls for the great group fallacy, Taylor finds the bright side of COVID-19, the producers bring us right up to the edge of where torture porn meets sainthood and Adam makes a bold claim about his NXIVM knowledge.

Adam and Taylor discuss the NFL's biggest open secret, the guys are primed to open up because they aren't jet lagged, Zac wins this season's Tell Me About Yourself contest and we find out that art people and horse girls are play cousins.

Adam and Taylor talk about voicemail etiquette, Bachelor Nation (with the help of Tayshia and Ivan) addresses the elephant in the room, just because we moved on to The Queens Gambit doesn't mean we've stopped talking about NXIVM and Noah is bringing 25 year old problems to a grown man's game.

Adam and Taylor debate the merits of "smoke show" as a compliment, all these guys need to talk to each other like men, the way to a woman's heart is mustache removal, everyone gets greased up for the slipperiest wrestling match on reality TV and every date should start with a spelling contest.

Adam and Taylor get really excited about Tayshia's chess(t) game, the rest of the guys realize they've bonded over a traumatic experience, there's a sports date where half the guys win, simple is hot and hopefully we've all seen the last of Clare and Dale.
