Bed Bach and Beyond

Hi! let's be honest the last two episodes were kind of low energy cuz like everyone's in love, there's no one for new contestants to date (??), and there's so many cast storylines it's hard to keep track.

Aubrey and Emily go through the last two episodes and focus a lot on the confusing jumble of drama spilling over onto the beach from the hotel, and in combination with 50 storylines happening everyone's like girl what? At least Em and Aubrey were. Where's Tia and why is she so lost in the sauce? Why is Ivan actually a lame and then has to go to the principal's office with BartenderHostPrincipalWells? Do people actually like Aaron? Is anyone going to rescue James from Paradise? The world may never know.

Also WHEN are people going to stop being thrown down the stairs like a gumball machine onto the beach?? Stay with us BB's because that three-hour episode had us all questioning our loyalty to Bach 😂

Hey ya'll welcome welcome welcome welcome welcome

Hope you enjoyed the last two live reacts! Always trying new things and seeing what works. Do we like the live reacts?

This week Aub and Em are back together and it's always good times. This episode felt like an episode of Couples Therapy, kinda heavy, but a lot was covered and it was still fun. Natasha gets a second shot at love a first in BIP history, and for some reason Wells is still conducting rose ceremonies in his bar shirt. Love you don't change but actually please change the man's shirt that's all we ask. Or bring back Spade. Tami cries a literal river of tears before stealing a cupcake. Kendall bought a front row ticket with reclining seats in 3D for some reason to view her ex sucking face, all before leaving upset/Ivan couldn't read the room. By the end of this episode I think we all just needed a nice hug from Thomas.

Enjoy!

We've got a live react fresh outta the oven from the humble abode of Renato and Aubrey. Join them as they react to Tuesday's episode in real time, together *cheesy clip of them holding hands on the couch...jk actually probably fighting over volume nevermind*

For Em's live reaction, check it out exclusively on our new instagram @bedbachandbeyond on the IGTV tab! Bonus BB points for hitting up both! xoxo

Enjoy!

We're splitting things up this week, so this episode covers only Monday's episode and that's okay because it was AH-LOT. Also the girls are back together for this one and it was a good time to reunite because wow TEA.

They hit us the three dudes that have found themselves in a "pickle" as Demi so drunkly put it - Joe's situation, Kenny's situation, and BRENDAN'S which ends up being the big papa of them all because excuse me wtf. Don't wanna say Em told you so buttttt yeah and also again wtf. One of the craziest situations since BIP began!

For your TUESDAY recap, check out the next podcast episode to hear Renato and Aubrey react LIVE from the midwest!

Want Emily's recap? Show our instagram @bedbachandbeyond some love and catch her react LIVE as well on the east coast! Watchable now on our IGTV...also it's exclusive to the IG and won't be uploaded as a podcast episode.

Double the listening, double the fun, get to it BB's!

We wanted to name this episode the face Kenny made when Mari interjected his "I'm now with Demi" speech before the cocktail party, but....can't do that. Instead just a reference to Deandra's bizarre jewelry drama *coughproducerscough*

Anywho, the podcast is joined by another guest this week, Aubrey's fiancé Renato! It was only fitting we hit you with both of the dudes back to back. Aub and Renato discuss week 3 of BIP as newbies and we're here for it. Monday is first 30 minutes, Tuesday is the second.

I think last week is the last double feature week? Who knows. Anything could happen in paradise.

Monday is covered first, then Tuesday chat starts around the 30 minute mark!

Special episode this week....Emily is joined on the Bed Bach and Beyond podcast by Jason! Jason and Em have been dating four years and all the while bitching about what happens on every season on everything bachelor...so it's about time!

Kind of had to twist his arm, kind of didn't...but his addition makes for a different type of convo with some couple banter which c'mon thats always super fun.

We miss you Aubrey! Also apparently Jason retired after this 50 minute episode so obviously we're gonna need you back. (He'll be jealous of you next week).

Hi party people, get a drink umbrella and your blender out of your dusty ass cabinet...it's time for some frozen drinks, sandy make-outs, and salty tears!! Bachelor in Paradise is here and we are BLESSED to have David Spade. Don't you ever rip him away from us.

Already so much fun breaking the first episode down, and Aubrey has never seen it at all let alone with CH!! Remember how we mentioned missing his formalities on Katie's season? Well I hope they threw them overboard for Paradise because that sh*t never belonged here! 😝

Enjoy BB's

Well we made it! Aubrey and Em go over the last episode of Katie's crazy season. By this point it's pretty much split between people that support Greg and people denouncing his toxic behavior. While no relationship or person is ever perfect, the ladies break down what about the last conversation the ex-couple had was troubling, especially after Greg confidently told the live audience multiple times that he had no regrets. Really? Not even one? 😬

Gaslighting is brought up as well, really diving into the definition and why it's sneaky manipulation (even if the defensive person doing said gaslighting isn't even consciously aware). Since many people used Katie's exposure of the word on the live show against her, we talk about how it may have been glazed over... but the fact that it was mentioned and talked about in such a raw light mattered in terms of progressing. 💪🏻

The ladies also talk about how women who are angry publicly usually get victim blamed or demonized by society, while humanizing the man who hurt her is the easier thing to do. Either way we Stan Katie always for talking about hard things and being brave for women everywhere that night in the hot seat.

Oh yeah and we also gush over Blake and his strength/support for Katie until the very end....and how Greg's "love" for Katie was bullshit.

Possible trigger warning: emotional abuse

Sooo we can all agree we didn't think Monday's episode would go down quite like this. Aubrey and Emily discuss the first two hometown dates with Blake and Justin, and finish with lots of discussion about Greg of course and his exit from the show for good (we assume).

This podcast episode touched on subjects relating to emotional abuse and personal experience, as well as discussing Katie and Greg's ultimate fall out conversation that went really downhill quickly, and the intense realizations that were made by both our wonderful lead and also the audience viewing it.

This episode was hard for a lot of people to watch, so just know we get real nitty gritty about the feelings that were felt while watching. If you're one of the people confused about why so many people are upset with Greg, this may be informative to you.

Sorry y'all, this podcast was THREE episodes behind after taking a vacation last week and a recording didn't happen. Apologies!

Em and Aubrey do a warp speed review of the remaining three episodes that needed commentary before hometowns next week (including the Tell-All!).

So basically the episode that Connor leaves and literally everyone cries a river, the next episode that takes Andrew approximately 30 minutes to fully get in the Escalade (😥), and finally Michael's super unfortunate exit / the Tell-All.

Buckle up! Hopefully some of you are like me and forgot to tune in anyway, so we got everything you need to catch up in a nice little bundle with a pretty bow on top!
