Bachelor Nation! Can we steal you for a second 🌹? In this episode, Shelby and Laura are joined by returning guest and Bachelor franchise OG fan, their Mom!!! They review The Golden Bachelorette Season 1 starring Joan Vassos. Spoiler alert -- we have differing opinions on whether or not the season is a wait or a watch, but all agree that the Golden mansion men were the stars of the season.

We explain why Joan wasn't the best choice to lead The Golden Bachelorette, celebrate male friendships and our favorite cast members, like Charles L., Mark, Gary, and Pascal, spill the restraining order tea about Gil and Guy, analyze why it was so obvious Chock Chapple would win Joan's heart, dissect why Jonathan seemed overly emotional, discuss how the show needs to cast older contestants, predict who will be cast as the next Golden Bachelor, and debate whether or not grieving and healing on the show is a green flag.
