The Bachelor Zone

Week 9 of our throwback coverage of Juan Pablo's season bring us to the island of St. Lucia and to one of the most infamous Fantasy Suite nights in Bachelor history. We cover Andi's dramatic exit, and what was really behind her vitriol towards the phrase "It's okay," and we give our two cents on the announcement of the new Bachelorette production plan.Rate, Review, Subscribe on iTunesFollow us on Instagram, Twitter at @bachelorzonepodorShoot us an email with your comments, concerns or boiling hot Bachelor Nation takes at:[email protected] check out some sweet Bachelor zone merchandise at: TeePublic.com The Supreme mattress has arrived!

This week we are very excited to make some Bachelor Zone history by welcoming into the Zone for the very first time a contestant who made it all the way to Hometowns! We're joined by final four finalist from Juan Pablo's Season: Renee Maynard!She was kind enough to come on to rehash her season and give us some long awaited insight into what exactly goes into Hometown dates, the infamous feud between Clare and Nikki, and what the common denominator of most Bachelor applicants is (spoiler alert: It's a little a couple of glasses of wine.)Follow Renee on Instagram @floridaray18Rate, Review, Subscribe on iTunesFollow us on Instagram, Twitter at @bachelorzonepodorShoot us an email with your comments, concerns or boiling hot Bachelor Nation takes at:[email protected] check out some sweet Bachelor zone merchandise at: TeePublic.com The Supreme mattress has arrived!

This week we cover all the excitement and drama of the saga that is unofficially known as Juan Pablo's Hometown episode. We're in Miami where history is made when Clare Crawley challenges the concept of ownership of personal space, Sharlene removes herself from the competition, and Marlins Park gets a few seats filled. But before all that we decided here at The Bachelor Zone to take our pundit hats off for a moment, and speak from the heart regarding all that is happening right now, and also dedicate our Ring, Rose or Road segment to try to give "the ring to"and elevate black creative voices that inspire us, and on that note here are all the links described at the beginning and end of the episode:Blacklivesmatter.comAclu.orgCulture Kings PodcastPrincipal Bassist for Philadelphia Symphony, Joseph ConyersNicole ByerAll Dogs Get Money by Gerald GrisseteAll The Smoke PodcastRate, Review, Subscribe on iTunesFollow us on Instagram, Twitter at @bachelorzonepodorShoot us an email with your comments, concerns or boiling hot Bachelor Nation takes at:[email protected] check out some sweet Bachelor zone merchandise at: TeePublic.com The Supreme mattress has arrived!

This week we're taking a break from our retrospective coverage of Juan Pablo's season to bring you a very special in depth interview with Lucy Aragon, the beloved and shoeless "Free Spirit" contestant from Juan Pablo's Season of The Bachelor. She tells us all about what made her decide to go on The Bachelor (It's not what you think), and gives us a behind the scenes scoop on what it was like competing on the show. She also discusses the impressions she got from future Bachelorette Clare Crawley in regards to how she'll be as our next Bachelorette, and how the now infamous "dog fashion show" all went down. She also gives some grade A life advice for anyone thinking of competing on reality television...We wanna thank Lucy again for coming on and being so candid with us!

For the final episode of our Listen To Your Heart (Or Listen to Us) trilogy we're joined all the way from the ATL by the hilarious ladies from the Crime and Roses podcast: the podcast about both The Bachelor universe AND true crime (a match made in heaven)... Danielle and Megan.They tell us some of the inside info they've gleaned from their own interviews with Bachelor officials about what goes into making " Listen to Your Heart" and whether or not the novelty changes to the rulebook will have an effect on the rest of the Bachelor Universe moving forward. We also try to hash out what it might take for the Bachelor franchise to finally take bigger steps towards representation and diversity within the show, and the ways in which they've been seriously lacking in that department up to this point, and qusing their expertise Danielle and Megan make the closing arguments and force us to give a final verdict on "Listen to Your Heart".Listen to Crime and Roses on iTunes or wherever you get your podcasts, and follow them @crimeandroses on Instagram.Rate, Review, Subscribe on iTunesFollow us on Instagram, Twitter at @bachelorzonepodorShoot us an email with your comments, concerns or boiling hot Bachelor Nation takes at:[email protected] check out some sweet Bachelor zone merchandise at: TeePublic.com The Supreme mattress has arrived!

Today we received the tragic news that comedy icon and all time great Bachelor cameo master Fred Willard has passed away. We just wanted to take a brief moment to pay tribute and just celebrate this genius and show our appreciation for how he defined how to make the dumbest, silliest things, seriously dumb and silly.Support the Show.

We continue our retrospective coverage of Juan Pablo's season of El Bachelor'. This was the week Juan and the Women went to Seoul, South Korea and it was apparently "Just like Gangnam Style"... Karaoke, opera, problematic racial generalizing and much, much more as we go over how the game has changed from the halcyon days Juan Pablo and how Clare Crawley's aggressive, territorial ability and incredible smoocheria ability will translate into today's game.

We continue our series of bonus eps where we bring guests on to try and convince us to watch and cover ABC's "Listen To Your Heart". This week we're joined by special guest Bachelor pundit and super fan Alicia Nichols-Gonazales. She makes a compelling case for why rule changes, special guest judges and the mechanic of swapping couples makes "Listen To Your Heart" a show that can rival any other competitive dating show out today.  She also uses her expertise as someone who works professionally politics to help settle the argument "which of the Bachelor Zone 3 would make a viable political candidate?"Check out and support the campaign Alicia is working on by going to:tjcoxforcongress.comRate, Review, Subscribe on iTunesFollow us on Instagram, Twitter at @bachelorzonepodorShoot us an email with your comments, concerns or boiling hot Bachelor Nation takes at:[email protected] check out some sweet Bachelor zone merchandise at: TeePublic.com The Supreme mattress has arrived!
