Chanel and Brandy debrief on the latest "It Ends with Us" drama as well as the breakup of Matt James and Rachael Kirkconnell that has captivated Bachelor Nation. Then we turn to our second Black Bachelor, Grant, who is back at the mansion meeting the 25 women who will compete for his heart. From pet rocks and llamas to cannolis and cakes, Grant kisses his way through the episode (literally he tied the record for most kisses on the first night). The former baller says he’s ready to be a husband and we shall see!

It’s been awhile and Chanel and Brandy are back to talk the conclusion to our very first season of The Golden Bachelorette. After Pascal self-eliminates during Fantasy Suites week, Joan is down to her final two men: Guy and Chock. But there’s no contest…Joan knows what she wants and who has her heart. We give our thoughts about who gets the final rose (hint: the title says it all) and who could be a contender for the next Golden Bachelor. We then discuss our first impressions of the next season of The Bachelor starring Grant!

Hometowns are right around the corner and Joan begins to make difficult decisions about who gets a rose. Chanel and Brandy discuss the final seven men in the house as they go on dates that could result in Joan meeting their families. A group date at a bowling alley has Chock canoodling with Joan, much to the dismay of the other guys. Keith tries to rekindle the spark on a one-on-one…does his first impression stand the test of time? And Mark gets a sign from a hummingbird, but is Joan on the same page? We react to some shocking eliminations and what might be next!

Chanel and Brandy recap their experience attending Justin Timberlake's Brooklyn tour stop. What tour? The world tour! Then they dive into this week's episode of The Golden Bachelorette which had some of the men baring it all for love, a shocking but not so permanent exit of one of the front runners, and a crushing goodbye to a few fan favorites.

Chanel and Brandy dish about the new season of Love is Blind before turning to Joan’s journey to find love as the Golden Bachelorette, which is reaching new heights…literally! She and Pascal are whisked away on a private jet for a glamorous and romantic one-on-one in Las Vegas. A group kickball game date leaves some of the guys in pain (literally) and Joan gets a bit deeper with Jonathan on a second one-on-one date. A cocktail party brings out the emotions and Gerry makes a surprise visit to see Joan. Is she ready to find love again? And which of the “mansion men” won’t get a rose?

To 401ks, to Medicare, to Joan! The men move into the mansion and get used to sharing a living space in their older age. The first group date takes everyone back to their senior year of high school as these senior citizens have a blast reliving their youth. And Jonathan gets crowned Prom King! A one-on-one with Chock proves magical at Disneyland. And the second group date brings the second annual Golden Talent Show! Gregg’s got the jokes and Jack has sock puppets. Kim is dismayed when his singing doesn’t win the competition, with Joan instead celebrating Dan’s vulnerability on stage. Finally a BBQ gets steamy for Joan and Mark.

Chanel and Brandy have washed the bad taste of the end of The Bachelorette out of their mouths and are ready to gab about the first ever GOLDEN Bachelorette, Joan Vassos! After the death of her husband and time on The Golden Bachelor cut short, Joan is ready to fall in love again. In the premiere, we meet the zaddies and silver haired foxes who will be vying for Joan’s heart this season - including fan favorite “thirst trap” Mark, Kelsey A’s hot dad! The men show their softer sides and begin to bond with each other and their leading lady. Looks like a good crop of guys and we make predictions about the suitors who might make their way to the Top Four.

What a finale! Chanel and Brandy recap the last episode of Jenn’s journey to find love with her final two suitors, Devin and Marcus. Jenn’s family has reservations about whether the men are committed and, judging from the aftermath, are correct in their assessments. Then we debrief on the most dramatic and perhaps the worst After the Final Rose special in Bachelor Nation history.

Fantasy suites up the stakes for Jenn’s final three men. The Bachelorette says goodbye to her “slow burn” Jonathon. Devin is all in for Jenn, but increasingly anxious that she doesn’t feel the same way. Marcus has second (and third) thoughts about commitment even as Jenn divulges that she loves him. Meanwhile, the Men Tell All brings the drama with Sam M. in the hot seat. We also hear from our next Bachelor, Grant!
