It's already wildcard weekend on The Golden Bachelor, and due to a HUGE misfire on the referees' part, that means Gerry is packing his bags for only THREE hometown dates next week. We take you through all the high-flying and low-sailing Ferris wheel/hot tub-infused action that got us there! Plus, both Canadian Sam and Split-Eye Davia arrived on the beaches of Paradise and delivered box office performances. We debate which of the rookies had the biggest impact on the tournament, and at long last, give Rachel her flowers (and candy)!

It's that time of year again and we're rolling out the red carpet and handing out the hardware for our 2024 Bachy Award winners from Joey's Season.

The 2024 Bachy Awards

This season's championship game was one for the books! Kelsey bounces back from her ill-advised "We need to talk" heat check and catches fire en route to edging out a gritty underdog win, but not before Daisy self-eliminates via the classiest, most empowered version of "you can't fire me, I quit!" in competitive dating history. Plus, we're so excited about Jenn being named the first-ever Asian-American Bachelorette (even if her hot seat interview, uh...left a little to be desired). Will her barrier-breaking season play for the ring, the rose, or the road? Join us as we break it all down!

Joey's Finale!

This season's (surprisingly great!) All-Star Game saw Joey's women spill the tea while groveling to the newly-crowned queen of W.T.A defense: Maria. 

We break down Maria's commanding performance, Kelsey's bizarre letter misstep,  and  Rachel's graceful swan song, and on the heels of a night featuring high energy/competitiveness and minimal chaos, we pose the question: is the Tell All back?!

Joey's Women Tell All

We've made it to Suites Week of Joeys season, and we're here to cover all the hard-hitting action: Rachel getting some chin music from a cenote, Daisy taking the advice of Golden Bachelor alumni and giving her playcalling some "sexual oomph," and if Kelsey's cliffhanger "Dear Joey" letter on the heels of her prolific performance is a big deal or a Big Bachelor fakeout.

Week 9: Joey's Fantasy Suites

It's that time of year again to debate which dads were the toughest and what contestant has the cutest nephew: Hometowns!! We're joined by friend of the show and our resident reality fantasy sports expert The Talented Mr. Rose Max Singer as we cover all the surprisingly smooth hometown visits and decide who had the best week and what Maria's exit means for the other two women attempting to thwart Daisy's historic run atop the AP Polls.
