Reality of the Rose

Today I recap Joan’s Golden episode 2.  Jenn’s season may have had the worst cast of guys ever but this Golden group is certainly making up for that!  Jack’s hand puppets, Charles L’s everything, Jonathan’s dance moves, Gregg’s snoring…I cover it all and much more.  This was such a fun episode to watch and I loved every minute of it.  Join me won’t you as I break it all down!

The Golden Bachelorette is here and it did not disappoint, which was such a relief after we were left with the disaster that was Jenn’s finale. Joan and the men were a breath of fresh air and I cover it all in this recap.  I start the episode, though, talking a bit about the continuing saga of Devin and the ways he keeps digging himself into a huge hole, and I also talk a little about Joey and Jenn’s first performances on Dancing with the Stars.  So, join me won’t you?

Holy hell!  This was definitely the most dramatic ending to a Bachelor show that we’ve seen but in all the WRONG ways.  Jenn Tran, we see you and we stand with you!  This finale failed in every way except for Jenn and Jenn’s family.  They were amazing and the scenes with them made the show.  The break up scenes with Marcus did not impress me, but more importantly, the way that Devin handled himself and mistreated Jenn, and then MOST importantly how the show itself treated its lead.  It was mean and destructive and I talk about ALLl the reasons why I feel this way on this week’s episode, so join me won’t you?

On this week’s episode I recap both the Fantasy Suites episode as well as the Men Tell All.  Which fantasy suite date was my favorite?  What is my prediction for the finale?  How do I think Sam M handled his time in the hot seat at the Men Tell All?  What are my highs and lows concerning Jenn and her time as the lead?  I discuss these topics and so much more.  But I start the podcast by discussing the controversy between Kaitlyn Bristowe and Tayshia Adams that has developed over the last week.  So join me won’t you?

On this week’s episode I break down Jenn’s hometown episode.  Even though each hometown visit had very similar components, there were a few noteworthy mentions that I caught and discuss.  There’s also addition to the show that was very welcomed and I hope the producers keep it up.  I do a comparison of Love Island vs Bachelorette which contains a very distinct and valid difference between the two.  I then, for any of you Love Island watchers, do a quick recap of last night’s Love Island reunion.  Join me won’t you?

This week’s episode of the Bachelorette was surprising, frustrating, cringy, and Wicked.  I have a lot to unpack about everything from Sam’s departure, to Jenn’s style choices, to the Wicked date that I wanted so much to love and many more opinions in between.  We also had a lot of Bachelor Nation cameos this episode.  What did I think of these?  Join me won’t you and find out!

On this week’s episode I recap Jenn’s episode 5 of the Bachelorette.  Two one on ones, a big sheep group date, my fashion analysis of Jenn, a romcom rain kiss, a great set of sheep farmers and a big lack of drama.  I talk about all these things and more, so join me won’t you?

This week I am recapping episodes 3 & 4 of Jenn’s season of the Bachelorette.  The men of this season are making my head spin.  I discuss Sam M’s complete 180 since episode 1 and  my thoughts on his building jump one on one date with Jenn.  I talk A LOT about Sam N’s super weird behavior that had America cringing.  I also of course cover Devin, his one on one, and who he reminds me of (and it’s not Pete Davidson).  There’s a lot to talk about and I hope that you join me…won’t you?

I'm so excited to have Emily on the podcast again except IN PERSON!!! It was even more fun to have her on the same couch with me as we discuss our final thoughts and conclusions on the seasons of Vanderpump Rules, The Valley, and Summer House. Then we get into the current seasons of RH of New Jersey and Dubai. And then we get into the nitty gritty of anyalyzing and picking apart the men of Jenn's season. Who has potential, who is cringy, who will we love, who will annoy us. We get way into the weeds with this analysis, so join us won't you?
