BachelorClues flies solo as PaceCase embarks on a three-week wedding extravaganza, bringing you an in-depth breakdown of The Bachelor Season 29, Episode 7 – The Women Tell All. From lackluster gameplay to missed production opportunities, this episode had its highs and lows. Carolina stole the spotlight with her villainous embrace, donning a jacket emblazoned with her infamous catchphrase, but production fumbled the reveal. Dina and Carolina’s ongoing feud spilled from the show onto social media, revealing the blurred lines between reality and the game. Meanwhile, Grant navigated the hot seat with robotic precision, and a surprise Disney promo with the Magic Mirror felt more like a distraction than an enhancement.

This week on Game of Roses, BachelorClues and PaceCase break down the hometowns of The Bachelor Season 29, Episode 6, featuring Grant Ellis’ final four contestants. While this round of playoffs lacked the drama and spectacle of past seasons, our hosts analyze key plays, including strategic family introductions, emotional reveals, and shocking edits that stripped the episode of classic Bachelor traditions. From Litia's Mormon compound visit (complete with horror-movie-style editing) to Juliana’s massive family army competing for dominance, and Zoe’s high-stakes bridal photo shoot, BachelorClues and PaceCase evaluate who came out on top—and who’s at risk heading into Fantasy Suites. They also lament the shocking absence of the iconic huju and question whether The Bachelor is losing touch with its own playbook.
