Kayleigh went on vacation this week so we were lucky enough to snag Karen's friend Eric to join the podcast as guest host. Lucky Eric got to discuss sex week! And you guys, this episode was a tough one-- Zach makes a promise to Bachelor Nation that he is not able to keep and the fallout is likely to have an impact for some time to come. Huge thanks to Eric T for being willing to discuss it all and share his opinions. Kayleigh returns from vaca next week when we see how the season turns out in the end.

Join Karen & Kayleigh as we recap and review two very important episodes of Zach's season of the Bachelor- Hometown visits and the Women Tell All. It was refreshing to see the show address serious issues more appropriately than has been done in the past. "We can't nice our way out of racism" - Dr. Kira Banks

Karen & Kayleigh recap and review Bachelor Season 27 episode 7 - Zach has a few one on one dates and a group date with a mentalist who completely freaks everyone out. We say goodbye to Greer and Kat and head to hometowns next week. Can't wait to see how Ariel's dad feels about the naked orgies.

Karen & Kayleigh are here for the right reasons-- and we are reviewing and recapping the 6th episode of Bachelor Season 27 Zach Shallcross' journey to love and best-friend-ness. The group travels to Estonia. It seems that Zach's bout of COVID has added a sense of urgency and causes Kat and Brooklyn to butt heads. Charity gets her long-awaited one on one date and gets up close and personal with Zach's backside while Ariel and Zach get to see some other folks' bits and pieces at the 'nudist spa.' And sweet, sparkly Jess takes a stand and says what we've all been saying for what feels like a century-- why shouldn't she want to go on a date with a guy she could possibly become engaged to in the near future?

Join Karen & Kayleigh as we recap Season 27 episode 5 of Zach Shallcross's Bachelor season. This week we see the Pretty Woman/Princess date arrive for one lucky lady as the others struggle to stay positive. Then, Zach gets COVID, making us wonder what a Bachelor has to do to get a few sick days around here.

Karen and Kayleigh are here for the... baby flamingos!! I've never been more jealous of any woman associated with this franchise. Kylee and Anastasia face off over time with Zach-- and only one of them escapes elimination. Kat gets to spend all day with Zach for a one on one, as does Brooklyn. TW: The show (and thus, we) discuss the sensitive topic of domestic violence. Please skip ahead about 5 minutes or so if you would prefer not to learn about Brooklyn's experience in a past relationship (it is discussed in the dinner portion of their date- we give you a heads up before we dive in).

We know that Zach Shallcross, the titular Bachelor for Season 27, loves family, football and frozen pizza. Last week featured family and this week, it's football. (we can only hope that next week is all about frozen pizza). Zach spends the night in a museum with one lucky lady. Most of the women end up playing tackle football. And a pool party goes awry when Zach's least favorite thing, drama, rears its ugly head. Buckle up, Zach, there's only more to come.

Join Karen & Kayleigh for a recap and review of the Zach Shallcross's Bachelor season-- episode 2 is all about Bad B*tch Energy. Which is all about... dancing like you are not from Oklahoma? confidence on a catwalk? how you handle yourself in a verbal altercation with Tahzjuan? unclear. The show decides to bring back Bad B*tches of Yesteryear to show these very wholesome earnest ladies HOW IT'S DONE. I guess- we didn't really get to see much of that. Christina meets Zach's entire family and tells him about her own family.

Karen & Kayleigh are here for the right reasons, just like Season 27 Bachelor lead, Zach "Verzacky" Shallcross. Join us as we recap and review night one of the new season of the Bachelor! Do we learn much more about Zach? nope. But it's pretty clear that we are terrible at figuring out who has longevity on this show. Zach whittles down his pool of girlfriends from 30 to 20.

Zach Shallcross is about to embark on his 'journey' as Bachelor in the year of our lord 2023. Kayleigh and Karen are here to talk through the women vying for Zach's heart based on what little information we can glean about them without getting spoiled. Who is your favorite going into this season? Odds are she's a nurse or a recruiter. To follow along with our comments, we reviewed the women in the same order that the official Bachelor website has the cast listed.
