1. Welcome! Our school year started and It’s hooooometowns! 
2. Question: The episode begins in NOLA! What is your must have food item from NOLA?  
3. Two minute recap: Gabby and Jason go to NOLA. He introduces Gabby to his dad who is adorable and weepy and I love him. Then he meets  more of his family and they love Gabby. Then Jason drops that he can’t see himself getting engaged. The memes are coming from him. Normal? Honest? Dude, do you know what show you are on? Side note: I love how his parents are like, get engaged and later on we get, well, the opposite. Next up is Rachel and Zach in Anaheim. All this plane stuff: yo, it is so weird to me that there all these work themes dates. Its like when you dream about working. No. This is a date, I’m not clocking in. Zach’s family is a little more reserved about the Bachelorette process and asked some pointed questions. Then they watch videos of Zach and Rachel making out. Weird right? Next in line is Gabby and Jonny in Palm Beach. Y’all I’ve lived in all these placesJonny’s family is pretty; they have a white couch- which I apparently think makes you rich. They like Gabby. And, of course, Jonny isn’t ready for a proposal either. His dad says, go for it. Poor Gabby gets  I’m not ready for a proposal and people are declaring their love for Nicole. What gives?. So Gabby and Johnny makeout on a sunset cruise. Wasn’t he just living on a cruise ship? Next, Rachel and Tyler head to Wildwood, NJ. I’ve never lived here. Fun side note, they haven’t had a one-on-one yet. Tyler is hyped. He is playful. A kid on the raddest playground. But Rachel is “it is getting serious.” Tyler says he is in love. Rachel is like,  whoah dawg I’m not sure i want to meet your family. Tyler has to tell his family on camera that he got dumped. Dang. These producers work hard.  After that we need something happy, right? So here comes Gabby and Erich off to visit his terminal ill father. As an ICU nurse, Gabby handled  things well but  dang that is a big thing to walk into. Erich tells Gabby he is  falling in love with her. Finally.  Confession,  his name is spelled stupid and so is his hair but I find him attractive. Hate me.  The final hometown is Rachel and Tino. It should be  perfect given their connection  right? Nope his family is not on board with this. Yiikes. Rachel is obs upset. Can it work now with  her beloved Tino! 
4. Concept 1: Do you think you would be a “support whatever decision you make” parent or a “this is big and  this show is weird, run!” parent? Does the approach family’s take matter?
5. Concept 2: What to do when someone says “I love you” and you just ain’t there.
6. Concept 3:  Whoa did you see that preview? No Gabby.  What are your predictions?

2. If you had to be slapped in the face by any animal (think the fish slap) which would be the worst to get smoked with?
3. Breakdown, bros!
4. Gabby seems at crossroads on if she wants to have children. Obviously, dating Nate would mean she would have a bonus child to start. What do we think about having to make that decision early on? Do you need to know right away, can you wait and decide as you keep going?
5. Tino really seemed to think he deserved the rose for his performance. Lets on pack that. 
   1. Did he?
   2. Does anyone deserve anything because they do something on a date?
   3. What is the one thing someone could do on a date that would make you give them the rose and end the show?
6. Is the US really that sexually repressed? That is the stereotype. But, does the dominatrix represent sexual freedom?
7. Wild Card: why does the franchise hat socks? And…fashion.

1. Welcome!
2. Question: what music orchestration would you want playing in the background while you share your childhood story/traumas
3. Two minute recap: There was crying. There was a big shirtless guy slapping faces with fish. There was more crying. There was a beer bath. And there was freezing on the deck of a (ghost?) ship.
4. Concept 1: When things get hard. Rachel tends to peace out when things are hard/challenging. Should you want to marry someone who, every time things get hard, she’s out?
5. Concept 2: Is this the most realistic dating ever seen on the show? Because both have the option to change/reject. And Rachel is mad that Gabby kept Logan, but she did the same thing when she kept Hayden…
6. Concept 3: Zodiac relationship matches. Real or no?
7. Host 2 wildcard topic: Nate drama, the general lack of fighting this season, we still haven’t heard an I love you and does Logan smell super good?

1. Welcome! It is August, which is a time of mourning for all who work in education. But for Bachedemia, August is hot and things are heating up on the season. But before we jump into this week’s episode..
2. Question: If you were a food, what type of food would you be?
3. Two minute recap: They foreshadow troubles with Hayden. He claims Gabby called herself rough around the edges so it  was fair game for him to say the same. Idiot!  They learn they are going to Paris and I guess staying on a cruise ship once they arrive. At first I was like,  omg are they trying to save money and making them go   overseas  on a boat.  Woof. Once  they arrive they get one on ones: Jason/
   Gabby and Tino/Rachel. They make crepes and try on barets and Americans are once again assholes for how we stereotype other countries. Dates seem to be going along well enough, they bring Gabby and Rachel together to swoon and then move to the serious evening portion of the dates. Tino and Rachel discuss career and family goals. It is clear Rachel is ready to marry Tino. I think they are both boring. Gabby and Jason connect over difficult childhoods and their appreciation for therapy. We will get to this later. Gabby seems pretty into Jason. Next, they move onto the  group date, which is technically for Gabby i think but they made it all about Rachel. We get a bachelor favorite: let’s have contestants fight for love. More on that later.  Gabby give spencer  the  rrose. Snooze fest. Rachel feels ignored by her guys and comes unraveled. Meanwhile, Logan is losing it and realizes he’s really there for Gabby– which he has to know isn’t going to end well. But I guess after this episode we will need a new villain. Rachel tells the guys to step it up. Its awkward. So producers smoooth things out by having Rachel smell their armpits on the group date the next day. Good lord. Tyler gets the rose and they connect over poetry. Bill’s favoorite. The cocktail party is all about Logan and Hayden. Hayden loves his dog rambo and it feels like he’s trying to guilt Rachel into keeping him because he sacrificed a lot to be here. He’s like a real loser. She sends him home. Logan accepts a rose. He’s in a heck of a position. So let’s talk about this disaster. 
4. Concept 1: “Fighting for love” What’s with violent metaphors and romance? Rachel and Tino are both excited and scared by how fast things are moving. Gabby and Jason connect over difficult childhoods and their appreciation for good therapy. They seriously geek out about “Inner child work.” This was a great boost for Bill’s counseling program! Go UNI counseling. (Gabby’s mom talks back. Unless you are saving this for the wildcard). 
5. Concept 2: “They weren’t paying attention to me!” Are Gabby and Rachel particularly fragile or is something else going on this season?
6. Concept 3: Puppy Love, Hayden. How can a person be such an asshole but love his dog so much?
7. Host 2 wildcard topic: Gabby’s mom talks back. Unless you are saving this for the wildcard

3. Two minute recap:Imma recap the ish out of this one….
4. Concept 1: So, Chris made a bold statement that he wouldn’t want to be with a bachelorette that banged multiple times during fantasy suites. A couple questions: 1). Is it too early to think about this? 2). Would he bang multiple bachelorettes? 3). 
5. Concept 2: The elephant in the room is that there are 2 Bachelorettes and this seems to be creating an existential crisis for all involved. Some guys are starting to declare their interest in one of the Bachelorettes, some guys are being cagey. Thoughts? Should they be declaring their intentions so early? Does this resemble the real world at all?
6. Concept 3: Gabby and Nate had a great date, the internet loves Nate. One big reason is because he is a “girl dad.” 1). What is the draw of the “girl dad?” 2). Thoughts on becoming a bonus parent? To Gabby’s credit she seems thoughtful about it.

1. Welcome! We’re baaaack! Bill, how have you been? 
2. Question: Do you have any fun summer rituals?
3. Two minute recap: Two women, 32 men, one hot season of the bachelorette. Gabbi is an ICU nurse, former cheerleader, is hilarious and is totally going to upstage Nicole. Nicole is a pilot, sweet enough, but kinda boring in comparison. They both feel ready for this because they, and I quote, “know what they are looking for” but also when discussing their types were vague and contradictory. As per usual, 32 men enter and introduce themselves to the bachelorettes. It is a bit more awkward with two of them: group hug? Who should you make eye contact with? But we still got some bizarre entrances: no shoes, no shirt and on a horse, a meatball sub, baby chicks, and the awkward tho talented magician. After the introductions they are given time to introduce themselves to the bachelorettes. After realizing that 2 on ones is awkward and not intimate as well as realizing that twins are not a turn on, Gabbi and Nicole venture off to talk to the men on their own. They both complain that they aren’t making out enough but then finally get a first kiss. End of the night comes around, they both realize they have no idea how to handle the roses. Ultimately, they decide that the twins and the magician show no potential and awkwardly say thanks but bye. 
4. Concept 1: Winners and losers. Who gave you nope vibes? Who has potential? 
   1. Jordan V. Race car driver
   2. Tino- Rachel is super into him, he gets her first impression rose. I think he looks like Blake HOrstmann and Tarick had a baby. I don’t get the appeal. 
   3. James: Meatball guy.
   4. Erich: talked to them both
   5. Mario: kissed Gabbi and her first impression rose. 
   6. Jordan H. Noise canceling headphones
   7. Quincy: celibate 
   8. Ryan: Boston
   9. Jacob: shirtless horse guy with dumb mouth
   10. Others? 
5. Concept 2: Kissing. Mario and Gabbi’s kiss. Tino and Nicole’s kiss. Erich kisses Gabbi. Thoughts about Erich? Was he playing them both or doing what is called for in the situation? How much does kissing matter? They both gave a first impression rose to someone they kissed.
6. Concept 3: Friendship and love competition: Will Gabbi and Rachel stay friends? This is the first time they might have to watch someone they are interested in smooch with someone else. Do you think this will create more drama or balance out the power between leads and the contestants? 
7. Host 2 wildcard topic: Let’s just stay on kissing. Why weren’t the dudes more into kissing? What are the economics of deciding whom to kiss?
