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.(DISCLAIMER: THIS EPISODE WAS RECORDED PRIOR TO THE GOLDEN BACHELOR DIVORCE NEWS)Support the Show.

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?

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.Use our code ZONE3 for FREE shipping and 20% off your next order from Manscaped, the GOAT for all men's below-and-above-the-waist grooming, at  manscaped.com!Check out our exclusive bonus content on our Patreon!Support the Show.

Week 9: Joey's Fantasy Suites

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.Use our code ZONE3 for FREE shipping and 20% off your next order from Manscaped, the GOAT for all men's below-and-above-the-waist grooming, at  manscaped.com!Join our BIP fantasy league on the Bach Live App!Check out our exclusive bonus content on our Patreon!Support the Show.
