Say Your Goodbyes

It's HOMETOWNS week!  Abi and Aaron recap all the drama from the final four women's hometown dates. We see Michelle being an actual earth angel, Rachael having a very SUS crash after skydiving (was it a body double?), Bri and her mom having a very sweet moment, and Serena P. having a fun Canadian themed date that ultimately left Matt heartbroken.

Abi and Aaron cover Bachelor Nation News, including updates to the #FireChrisHarrison movement as well as Clare and Dale's PDA filled reunion on the beach, and Demi's cringe tweeting spree. The Portal Potty Weekly Flush focuses on none other than Ted Cruz because he is definitely the worst and needs to go.

Grab your Chipotle queso and chips and settle in for the wild ride of an episode! Abi and Aaron are SO excited to be joined by the one and only "Mystery Host" from Quips and Dips Podcast for this one! They chat quips, dips and reality tv-specifically the need for more diversity in the Bachelor franchise. They also talk about how Mystery Host has met SO many celebs by literally just "bumping into them," and even how she was once strangled by a ghost!

You won't want to miss the Portal Ponderings segment where Gorilla Glue Lady is discussed, as well as Charli D'Amelio and influencer fame.

And lastly, the Portal Pick of the Week revolves around the "NY Times Presents: Framing Britney Spears" documentary on Hulu. #FreeBritney.

Mystery Host was a delight to talk to and if you're not listening to her over on Quips and Dips, you're certainly missing out! Check out her podcast here.

After following up on the Chris Harrison updates and flushing a bunch of Republicans down the Portal Potty, Abi and Aaron recap the episode. Tonight we saw Heather get sent off in her mini van, Serena "Prude" and Matt participate in a tantric yoga date outside of her comfort zone, Abigail not getting the love she deserves, and Jessenia live out her car make out fantasy. More than half of the women got sent home or self eliminated and we are now down to the Final Four and Hometowns are next week already!

It's called ACCOUNTABILITY!

Today's episode was originally supposed to be about unusual phobias (don't worry, that episode is definitely still happening soon) - BUT Abi and Aaron decided to put that one on hold to discuss the February 9th interview of Chris Harrison by Rachel Lindsay on EXTRA.

Watch the video here.

This interview showcased Chris Harrison in an extremely negative light to say the least. In the interview, Chris Harrison and Rachel Lindsay have a discussion surrounding the allegations of racism and problematic behavior that has surfaced about Rachael Kirkconnell, a contestant on the current season of The Bachelor.  The discussion is full of gaslighting, condescending tone, excuses for racism, and empty promises, all on the behalf of Chris Harrison. Progressives in Bachelor Nation have grown tired of this type of behavior and have started a petition to remove Harrison from the franchise.

Sign the petition here.

Then, Abi introduces a new segment called Portal Pick of the Week! This is an opportunity for Abi and Aaron to share their recommendations for shows, movies, books, or really anything cool for you all to check out.

In this week's Bachelor recap, Abi and Aaron start by sharing the latest Bachelor Nation News. They discuss Racist Rachael's shocking photos, rumors that Katie may be the next Bachelorette,  PP spotted making out with Kelley in a crowded nightclub and so much more! The Portal Potty Weekly Flush features a chat about Arie Luyendyk Jr. and his men's right's pouty IG story. Then they dive into the recap! 

Tonight we saw the resolution to the MJ + Jessenia rivalry, but also saw a new rivalry form between Katie and Serena C. We got to see Pieper shine brighter than the carnival lights on her 1-on-1 with Matt. Followed by a bowling themed group date that sparked a deja vu that echoed back to Arie's season. Katie got the next 1-on-1 but in all honesty, there was more of a spark between Matt and Tyler C. there. And we can't forget the FAKE and scripted arrival of Heather! So much to discuss, so many "Literally Petty Antics."

In this week's Bachelor recap, Abi and Aaron are joined by their friends John and Christina (two newbies to the franchise) for their fresh takes on this episode. They start with Bachelor Nation New, the Portal Potty Weekly Flush, a little talk about the stock market and a beauty influencer gone MAGA, and then get into the recap.

Tonight we saw two villains get sent home, a Pretty Woman style one-on-one, a messy and "uncomfortable" farm date,  a cringe-worthy baking one-one-one, and a 2-on-1 we never saw coming. John and Christina have a lot of great observations, so you'll definitely want to stick around for this one! The drama continues to unfold and we are here for it!

A PodMoth Network Podcast
https://podmoth.network/

In this episode, Abi is joined by her friend, Kristin Tedd to chat about veganism, the Bachelor, astrology, politics, conspiracies, and more! Kristin is an incredibly talented artist and overall cool person from upstate NY who paints and refinishes antique furniture, cooks delicious vegan food from her garden, and cares for a plethora of rescue animals. 

The pod theme this month is focused on haunted locations in Pennsylvania, since that is where Matt James' season of the Bachelor is being filmed. Abi covers the "Pennhurst Asylum," formerly known as the Eastern State School and Hospital, located in Spring City, PA. What was once intended to be a safe space for individuals with disabilities quickly turned into a hell scape filled with filthy living conditions, unthinkable abuse and death, and as a result, lots of ghosts!

Time Stamps:

• (1:15) Intro Chat + get to know Kristin 
• (30:40) Portal Ponderings
• (47:00) Pennhurst Asylum
