Will You Accept This Podcast

The range on this episode was wide - where we went from love languages to letters to our younger selves to confronting negative feedback on ourselves to ... strip dodgeball? Wow. And we're left with a cliffhanger with us wondering where this is all headed. (And one thing is for certain, we're still living for those credit clips.)

We are BACK! Finally after all the quarantining, Instagram stalking and COVID tests we made our way to the La Quinta for Clare's big moment. The intros were a bit different but it was still an entertaining premiere, complete with inflated bubbles, pregnant men and Moon Pies. Oh yes, don't forget those. We break down the man drama on night one which waited no time to get underway and go through some of the Bachelor news swirling at the moment. We're so excited to be back!

Lots to talk through about the finale of Bachelor season 24. We found out our big ending, and we have a lot of thoughts on what went down, what disappointed us and why we have hope that Clare Crawley's Bachelorette season, whenever we're blessed with it, is exactly what we need.

This may be the Women Tell All with the most bickering. We discuss why this was not our fave WTA, who got the unexpected glow-up this episode and (perhaps most importantly) what we think on our new Bachelorette, Clare!

We're in the homestretch with the final 3. We learn Madison didn't disclose her big secret to Peter. The ladies travel to the Gold Coast where they learn they have one not-so-fabulous surprise - they get to be roommates for the week! The season just can't let the drama between the ladies die. The week ends on a dramatic note with us waiting to find out, will Madison stay or will she go? We also catch up on some Bachelor news, including what we think on who might be our new Bachelorette.

It's a busy week as Peter bounces around from hometown to hometown, still managing to find time for ax throwing, some country music concert goin', grape stomping and basketball dribbling. Oh! And lots of that "L" word we seem to be hearing lots of on the back half of the season. And while we did not get to finally meet the family behind Victoria F, there was drama of a different kind leading us to learn that apparently you don't need a family for a successful hometown visit. And the ending note of the episode tees us up for a dramatic week for Fantasy Suites as well!

And we're off to Lima this week, where Peter slims down the crew from six to four as he preps for hometowns. Natasha finally gets her one-on-one, but it doesn't go quite as she hoped. And although Kelley was convinced she was the most solid long-term option, Peter decided otherwise. Peter also tells the first of the ladies that he's falling in love with her, and there's a promo at the end that leads us seeing where this dramafest is going next. We also catch up on some of the latest breaking Bachelor news.

Five hours later in one week, here we all. There's lots of drama to catch up on. Lots of exits (still none self selecting out, but there's always next week), unexpected roses and just bad moves all around. Where are we going Peter?! Answer right now? No one knows.

Even a scene change to Cleveland can't keep Peter and the ladies from the drama. One date finds Peter being serenaded by her ex. Another is crashed by the return of Alayah, where Peter shockingly decides to give her the rose over the ladies who are bruised from the day's football game. We're left with Peter asking if they're going to all leave -- and honestly, we might not be surprised if they did? We catch up on a bit of Bachelor news and discuss the 5 hours of The Bachelor in store for us next week.

It's more champagnegate this week, as the ladies can't seem to let it go. We may have not seen much of Alayah in prior weeks but she's front and center this week for this season's "is she real" debate (verdict? TBD). We get to know Victoria P a bit more as she and Peter go on a 1-on-1 for some boot scootin' fun. There's a pillow fight with some "ling-ery", and it left us feeling a bit unhappy. We end the week with Peter second guessing one of his last minute decisions. And we make some time at the end as always for this week's helping of Bachelor News.
