Paradise is closing soon and so far there have been two weddings and TTBP has been invited to none of them. On top of that we've got JPJ yelling in front of Chris' mom over here, and a bunch of dudes in white T-shirts attending a wedding over there. If it weren't for knowing Colton is a terrible kisser we might have exploded this week. Good thing Mike McLendon came on the pod to help sort all of this out, in addition to creating the next hit ABC reality drama, "Bachelor in Stage Coach". It's time to pull that curtain back all the way, ABC, and just let us all inside. Or at least VIP tickets to next year's Stage Coach? It would truly only be fair after forcing us to watch 20 people stranded on a hot beach for three weeks. Think about it, Chris Harrison.

Paradise (2019) Week 4 | Bachelor in Stage Coach with Mike McLendon (UCB, Fantasy Flicks League Podcast)

People spend their whole lives looking for love. Sarah Franklin has spent her whole life watching people find love on reality television. For years, she has taken the journey with millions of other Bachelor fans as they've watched smart, educated women take shots at love with handsome, wealthy, quintessential family men stocked with 401K's. Now they watch as a gaggle of eligible singles fall for a person with the most Instagram followers. Since then, Bachelor Nation has formed. We are the resistance. Just kidding, WE LIVE FOR IT.

After Shows

Happy Paradise Finale!! And congratulations to our newest couples. TTBP is truly rooting for you and wishes you the best. With that said, please only ever eat on plates from this point moving forward. BFF-of-the-pod, Connie, had to join to wrap up the season. We have to be honest when we say we're glad it's ending, mostly because our tans are gone and all of these hot people on a beach are making us feel bad. However, we're grateful for the memories and will remember our time in Mexico this summer fondly. Goodbye Paradise...
Also, TTBP will be taking a season off to recoup and rest up. I am so excited for Michelle's season and hope everyone will join me in watching! TTBP will be back with some more exciting news along the way!

Paradise (2021) Weeks 7/8 | Lace in the Summer (a Working Title)

SPOILER FOR NEXT WEEK from 18:55 to 21:55
We're nearing the end of Paradise and Katie Murphy joins TTBP this week to predict the futures of everyone on the beach! Spoiler alert, maybe only one couple ends up together. No matter what happens, we're just happy that Natasha is getting out of the house with her remaining days in Paradise. It's hard to say who will end up together and who will call it quits, but one thing that's not hard is STOP MAKING US WATCH PEOPLE EAT OFF EACH OTHER ON THIS BEACH. We're glad you guys like being sticky, but the rest of us at home don't need it! Anyway, we're rooting for you guys and we hope next week there are fewer commercials and more intimate conversations. We'll find out then!

Paradise (2021) Week 6 | Real Housewives of Paradise

It's week 5 in Paradise and we. are. pissed! Jk, we're not, but Becca definitely is and we're not sure why! BFF-of-the-pod, Connie comes back on to discuss the usage of female vs. woman, whether tattoos are hot or not, and Grocery Store Joe's future. We're right in the thick of it and things starting to get messy, but not even close to how messy that whipped cream date was that will never be speaking of again. Thank goodness Dr. Joe was there to help clean things up and make them better.. until he didn't. And while we're happy for our friends finding love, we can't help but miss our pal, Demi and the level of professionalism she brought to the job. We miss you girl, and we'll see you on the other side (the after show).

Paradise (2021) Week 5 | Disgruntled Females

This week in Paradise was one for the books! Best-Friend-of-the-Pod joins TTBP this week to break down the drama and the events of Becca Kufrin's first party. There were a lot of jaw-dropping moments this week, but I think the biggest one of them all was that Alana brought just a tiny little backpack to the beach. While we love transparency in Bachelor Nation, I do believe we pulled the curtain back too far on some of these relationships ::cough cough:: Brendan and Pieper. But even in the midst of all this drama, we're not sure what's more confusing, the fact that Brendan and Pieper are still on the beach or the fact that Demi keeps getting rejected! Hopefully, answers come next week!

Paradise (2021) Week 4 | Get Your Own Car

Another week in Paradise.. even though they've actually only been there for 5 days. And while we're all having fun, it was time for some caking throwing into the fire. Here to break down all of the drama on TTBP this week is long time listener, first time caller, Caitlin Vickery! This week was filled with new comers to stir the pot - Princess Becca, Smoke Show Chasen, some guy named Chris I've never seen in my life - and thank god, because Demi's shoulders were getting tired holding this season up! And you know who wasn't at all present to help her out? A Mr. Lance Bass. Which is fine because honestly, he's really busy and important and can do whatever he wants. Next week is bringing the fire (hopefully cake-free) where even more questions become unanswered. Does Joe leave with Kendall?? Who will Demi bring next to the Boom Boom room?! Who isn't letting Tahzjuan pee and poop?!?! Hopefully we find out next week..
