One month after interviewing Tayshia about lip fillers, Ama Kwarteng from Cosmopolitan joins the pod to talk about the start of TayTay's journey. Justin and Ama discuss Tayshia's introduction to the men (or lack thereof) and the four new arrivals who shake things up. Plus, newly engaged Clare and Dale are back to chat about love at first sight and what's on the horizon. 

Bachelor Recap Queen Kelly Johns helps Justin cover Clare's final episode as The Bachelorette. They discuss all things Clare and Dale - their one on one, a sexy fantasy suite, and the quickest proposal in Bachelor history. Plus, we finally see Tayshia exit the limo and take over as the lead of this season. All hail the new queen of Bachelor Nation! 

It's the beginning of the end for Clare Crawley's reign as the Bachelorette. To help cover the madness of the transition, People's Jodi Guglielmi joins Justin on the pod. They discuss an intense exit from Yosef and Clare's controversial date with Zach J. Spoiler alert: they talk about Dale - a lot. Plus, the two react to Tayshia officially appearing on our screens for the first time since Paradise 2019. 

Bachelor Nation could not be more divided on their feelings about Clare, and it is only episode two. Lucy Aragon - Clare's cast mate from Juan Pablo's season and Bachelor in Paradise - joins Justin to discuss the entire episode. From (spoiler alert) scolding the men on a group date to sending Brandon home early, Clare is proving to be one hell of a lead. Plus, Lucy gets *ballsy* and discusses the little black boxes from the dodgeball game. 

Bennett Murphy rejoins the pod to talk about the "Cut Guys" from the original men of Clare's season. Bennett, along with a dozen other men, were cut from the season after filming was postponed - a result of COVID back in March. These men now go by The Gettawayz and are all set to release their own content from their "hometown visits." Join Justin to learn all about their adventures and what is to come for The Gettawayz. 

After delays in filming and an absurd amount of rumors circulating, The Bachelorette is finally back and Clare Crawley is calling the shots. Kat Hurd, a contestant from Juan Pablo's season of The Bachelor, joins the pod, too! Justin and Kat recap limo exits, address all the rumors surrounding Clare and Dale, and discuss the cuts from the first rose ceremony. 

If anyone knows reality TV, it's Daniel Maguire! Justin chats with Daniel about his time on The Bachelorette, his four appearances on Bachelor in Paradise (including two season down under), and last year's Ex on the Beach. Plus, Daniel opens up about his OnlyFans account and sharing more implicit content. 

Justin invites Jaimi King on the pod to discuss sexuality and race relations within the Bachelor franchise. We discuss her "coming out" on the show, whether she was allowed to date women in Paradise, and a conversation with Raven Gates that never aired. Plus, we talk about upcoming Bachelor Matt James and which Black hotties would have also made great leading men.
