Bachelor-ish

Clayton deals with one of the women’s “performative” actions on a Freudian therapy date, and seems to be scrambling to make his front runners happy after his past actions. Susie gets an amazing shopping date, with a musical performance we could all vibe with. We are blessed with two rose ceremonies (and end on a rose ceremony!) and are down to four women in contention for Clayton’s heart. New footage is shown in the previews which paint Clayton’s future in an unflattering light, and leaves the question of is Clayton with someone up in the air.

Clayton continues behaving questionably with the women, but pats himself on the back for making a “big decision.” After a rose ceremony in Canada, Clayton and the women travel to beautiful Croatia, where a Mara singles out Sarah for not being “wifey” material. We break down the full episode on this week’s Bachelor-ish: including commentary on ageism, purity culture, and what Clayton’s way of handling conflict says about him.

The remaining women are starting to question Clayton’s judgment after the roses are handed out. Clayton gets a much deserved roasting from the girls on the group date, and #quirky Gabby has the 1-on-1. This episode ends on a cliffhanger and we speculate what will happen next week. A preview shows lots of end of season drama and we try to figure out who we think is standing with Clayton at the end. Plus, we feel vindicated when new information comes out regarding Clayton’s public apology.

ShrimpGate continues as Clayton navigates the drama between his remaining women. Listen to hear what we think of Shanae and Clayton’s handling of the situation. Plus, a front runner with a real connection emerges, and we’ve yet to see what is exciting about our new bachelor. Once again we end without a rose ceremony and previews that spoil everything. Warning, we get heated with this episode, and question whether the Bachelor franchise is salvageable after this disastrous season.

As we say bye to one villain a new one takes the throne! After a week off we try to remember who the heck these people are, call out the double standard about a “FWB” and start to list off all the cliches that come out of Clayton’s mouth. Also… shrimp.

The Bachelor is off this week so there’s no new episode to discuss, but we’ve got plenty to talk about after Clayton’s latest interview. Listen to hear what we think of Clayton’s Chipotle obsession, his guilty pleasures, and make predictions on what will happen next week!

Villains are the focus of this episode as Clayton rewards drama! Susie gets a cliché 1-on-1 date and red flags are exposed on the group date (keep those nudes to yourself, Clayton!) We recap the full episode and give our opinions on whether Clayton is actually the person he claims to be…

This season is back at the Bachelor Mansion with a new host and a new Bachelor… Clayton. Thirty women come to meet Clayton, and a few really seem genuinely interested… though for one he doesn’t pass the vibe check. Also a girl who doesn’t even make it to the limos gets more airtime than anyone else… We weigh in what we think is in store for us the rest of the season with all the drama, and speculate when we will finally see some of Clayton’s personality.

Here’s a deep dive into Claytons’s cast for this season of The Bachelor! Becky gives a rundown of Clayton’s preseason interviews and we analyze which girls fit what he’s really looking for. Alice says which women she thinks had a different bachelor in mind, and Camdyn analyzes some of their Instagram bios. This is our first time breaking down a Bachelor season cast and we had a great time!
