This week, it’s finally here: the finale of The Golden Bachelor AU’s first season, in which Bear makes his ultimate decision. There are some other big decisions being made too, about the version of Africa that makes it to Australian TV, about compromising your integrity for a man, and about whether or not to keep recording the podcast when you’re unwell.

We answer some big questions such as Are They Still Together and Is Everybody Doing Okay and Do We Reckon They’ll Do Another One. Also Did They End Up Correcting The Spelling Of Bachelor Creator Mike Fleiss’ Name In The Credits Which Has Been Wrong In Every Episode Of This Season.

Thanks for joining us for this season - we’ll be back soon!

Janette’s substack post: THE FULL, TRUE, EMOTIONAL JOURNEY

Come along to the Max Quinn EP launch in MELBOURNE (20 Nov) or SYDNEY (5 Dec). See Dr. Spaceman in SYDNEY (Nov 21) and Self Talk in MELBOURNE (Dec 20)!

This week on BoH, we’re joined by writer, reality TV expert, and Bachelor recap royalty Tara Watson! It’s the penultimate week for Golden Bachelor AU, and we’re dealing with the big questions: Will a declaration of love guarantee Sunny the win? Can Janette muster up the gumption to tell the Bach how she really feels? Can a bear be a feminist? All this, plus a non-psychic psychic, a return to the Real Love Boat, and some fresh SFW erotica from Mort Porker.

Find Tara on socials @catladytara, and check out her Golden Bachelor AU recaps on Mamamia!

And we’re on socials and stuff too. Bye!

This week on BoH, we’re joined once again by writer, musician, and pop culture aficionado Eilish Gilligan! We discuss a mixed week for The Golden Bachelor AU, in which a simply staggering number of women were sent home, but not before they’re sent on a frustrating and disappointing camping trip (so, y’know, a camping trip). We dig into Terri’s shock Rose rejection, a shucking great date with Sunny, and Bear’s attempts to share more about himself via film (touching!) and food (nice try!).

Plus - Max met Bear IRL!!! Did Bear accidentally spoil the outcome of the season? Did Max almost cause him to do a crime?? Does Xavy have a joke about Oasis they want to make again??? You’ll have to listen to find out.

Come and see MQ & Xavy rock out together in Melbourne on Nov 20 and/or Sydney on Dec 5!

This FREAK on the DRACULA of HAUNTS podcast, it's our annual Halloween special! What better time to talk for two hours about two very unscary (and actually quite good) episodes of reality TV?

Week 2 of The Golden Bachelor AU brought us a bevy of creatures, a character-revealing swear-word, and some profoundly touching personal stories - so naturally, we've responded by doing a parody song and talking a lot about horse poo. So kick off your high heels and saddle up for another perfect pod!

Can you believe it - The Bachelor is back on Australian TV! This week, The Golden Bachelor AU made its official premiere, and we're putting our expertise to good use in pulling apart the first week of the show. Is playing it safe the right move for the producers, or does it feel like more of the same? We analyse the limo exits, first dates, and the woman who at least seems to be getting a slight villain edit (but it's too soon to tell).

If you're wondering if you have to watch the show to listen to the pod - you definitely don't! But we were pleasantly surprised by a lot of things on the TV this week, and you might be too.

Let us know how you feel about Week 1 on our socials @bohpod and share the pod with a friend for extra brownie points! 🌹

The Bachelor of Hearts podcast is back! We've returned to discuss the "new era" of the Bachelor franchise in Australia - The Golden Bachelor, in which 61-year-old widower Barry 'Bear' Myrden will search for love among 20 distinguished women. We set the scene for what promises to be a pretty interesting season of television (on Channel Nine of all places), providing all the necessary context, and sharing everything we can glean about the cast of the show ahead of the premiere. How many of the women are interior designers? Which one is a warrior princess? And which one posted "All Lives Matter" on main? You'll have to tune in to find out.

Also, just a quick update: it looks like Nine will be airing two episodes a week (at least to begin with), on Monday and Tuesday nights. We are relieved.

If you like the pod please share it around with some friends! Thank you!!!

We’re back! After a long absence, we return with a special episode, designed to keep you up to date with some of your favourite stars from seasons we’ve covered over the history of BoH! We answer all your big questions such as who’s gotten married, who’s split up, and who’s still promoting some kind of weird weight loss solution on Instagram years after their 15 minutes on TV? (trick question - the answer is ‘everyone’)

Plus, a brief debrief on MAFS, some Golden Bachelor AU news, and a revolutionary new handshake technique. It’s good to be back!

Who did we miss? Let us know on socials @bohpod <3

We made it - both to the end of another season of The Golden Bachelorette and to the beginning of another hundo! Despite another perfectly-fine-but-not-particularly-inspiring episode, we're celebrating in style. Is Guy a horse? Hear how Joan's season wraps up (you'll never guess!) and also hear us eating a bunch of golden treats on microphone! Sorry!

Thanks to all of you for making the past 200 episodes so special. We'll be back soon!

Until then - find us on Instagram and Bachelor of Hearts Oshposting, and if you'd like to support the show in a money way, our Patreon.

We’re licking our wounds this week after a brutal few days in world history, and a Golden Bachelorette: The Men Tell All special that somehow isn’t able to offer any real solutions. But did it help?

We’re here to discuss the silver (or is that golden?) linings in this insubstantial but inoffensive hour of TV: for one, it’s nice to see our friends the Mansion Men again and tap our toes to their jaunty tune. Jesse Palmer (a Canadian!) has a good night as host (especially when he’s not talking to Charles L.) And hey - everyone gets a something-burger. That’s not nothing-burger!

This week, Joan and her Final Three are treated to a trip to Tahiti, where Joan is faced with a tough decision (which ultimately gets made for her). As we lurch towards the finish line, we discuss the hypothetical possibility of a Golden Who Fucks, and dive deep into the way Tahiti is represented, as well as the effect it has on an older Frenchman.

Plus, some hard-hitting US election coverage (😬), some facts and knowledge about the Los Angeles football Rams, and a great many boats. I gotta be honest folks - I got 95% of the way through editing this one and then they called the election. The vibes are not good. I hope you’re all doing okay. Take it easy. We love you.
