The Bachelor PhD

Just like that Becca’s chapter ends yet chapters for a dozen past rejects begins!  We’ve been here before: two nights, two series passing like ships in the dark.  Five full hours of content resulting in a 1 hour and 10 minute podcast.  Whew!  How is Garrett navigating his Insta likes? Will Becca support him? Who is that strange uncle? Are the producers manufacturing conflict between Tia and Colton? Who is that blonde guy?  We try to figure it all out, come join us for the ride!

What kind of podcasters would we be if we skipped The Men Tell All just because it was bad? We probably make the episode out to be worse than it actually was–if Twitter is a judge many watching at home liked, for example, Jordan’s antics. So we talk about that but also a bunch of other things to fill up time.  It’s actually pretty entertaining, we think, but then again we might be misjudging you folks listening at home.

Like the Bachelorette episode itself it took us fifteen minutes to get into the podcast.  But a lot of that is because of our fascinating breakdown of Bachelor Masters data!  What does that mean?  Listen in to find out, we promise that it is…. data.  But you could be into that kind of thing.  We also wonder why Becca keeps saying “IN love” (emphasis ours) versus “love” and also what’s going to happen when Garrett wins. Join us!

A problem with these four guys is that they overlap in such a way that it’s difficult to know who they are without looking closely and looking closely changes our perception of the four guys.  You know, like…. Schrödinger’s cat.  (We’re really stretching here.)  Anyways, we try to fill up an hour and fifteen minutes based on these hometown dates and some of The Proposal.  Come along for the ride… if you can stomach it!

Whether or not twitterpated is actually a word or if Becca actually said it in the episode is kind of irrelevant.  What is relevant is that we’re down to four guys, finally.  And one of the the four is the vastly vitrioled Garrett.  We try to give him some justice to little effect, but also dive into the other three guys to give them some comeuppance.  Jump in the fire with us!

We’ve got a classic Bachelor Masters episode for ya where we go back to our roots discussing the cultural contexts of various Bachelorette happenings.  We also debate the effectiveness of Universal Studios’ new ad campaign because, well, dreamy Leo works there.  But will he make the final four? Listen in so you can hold us accountable when our predictions are inevitably wrong!

Jordan is no Corrine, so we say goodbye to this villain without batting an eye.  Well, in the blazing Nevada heat there’s bound to be some eye batting.  Nevertheless, guys get cut as Becca narrows the field.  This turns is a point of contention for our three Bachelor Masters hosts who debate whether the remaining guys actually like Becca and whether Becca actually likes the guys.  Oh and we review Westworld for some reason.  Join us for the fun!

This is what we’ve all been waiting for: ABC tossing two whole shows on us at the same time. In this podcast episode we debate whether or not The Proposal is interesting, though it undoubtedly is interesting when compared to the current season of The Bachelorette. We also talk in detail about a few of Becca’s suitors because, well, that’s what podcasts are for!  (And we think we have a little crush on Leo.) Come join us as we come roaring back after our week off to recap the full three hours of content.

What is cool? That’s an age-old question left to none other than the Bachelor franchise as we see Becca’s dudes try to be cool and uncool.  Indeed, we try to figure out if Becca herself is cool in what is probably an uncool topic for podcasts.  Come along for the ride (but do it without looking like you’re in a hurry).

Ha, see what we did there with the catchphrase? Alas, the first episode of a Bachelorette season is usually the least interesting as we’re forced to sludge through contestant gimmicks attempting to catch Becca’s attention. Though, this time around we’ve noticed that Becca is handling herself well, with poise and humor, and that’s… interesting!  To make up for no real villain (sorry, Male Model guy) we also talk about the hit family film Saw.
