We begin with a conclusion of the convo with Hannah B... or do we? The abrupt ending leads us to speculate if it was really an end or not. There's SO MUCH champagne drama that it seems we'll be having more of it next week. And Revolve is scoping out influencers early, involving one of the groups in a fashion show that features an appearance by the fabulous Carson Kressley and Janet Dickinson. We also catch up on a bit of Bachelor news!

Cleared for take off we are off -- we are back along with ALL the flight and windmill puns we can handle. We finally got to meet the crew of thirty ladies vying for Pilot Pete's heart. There's one much hyped return of a familiar face. We talk about how we think that might all play out. We also talk about the change up in format and this week's cliffhanger. Buckle up! We're fully in it this season.

Oh hello there! Doesn't that beach in Mexico seem like ... well, ages ago? Catch our wrap-up from the most recent BIP season as we gear up to start an all new season of The Bachelor.

The parade of exes continues in this week's episodes, beginning with Angela's official arrival. The drama between Derek and JPJ continues until Tayshia makes her choice. Blake goes all in on an unexpected old flame. We lose one of our favorites (#MikeForBachelor) and find out the arrival of a fan fave doesn't end up with us finding our Grocery Store Joe of the season. And we end the second episode with Dean's return sans mustache but with an unexpected proposition for Caelynn to consider.

This week shows some new sides of the gang. JPJ's "Shaka Brah" days are gone. After going on dates with Hayley and Tahzjuan he doubles down on Tayshia, who seems fully focused on Derek. Caelynn and Dean are in a great place. He coordinates a sweet birthday celebration, until he uses the moment to break-up with her (AKA "Dean being Dean"). Blake passes up what could have been with Caitlin and keeps Kristina around in this friendship rose game of tag. It's Krystal and Chris' wedding, which turns into drama on many levels. We catch up on some of the latest in Bachelor news as well. (*Note, this podcast is actually . not sponsored by Stagecoach. It just might as well be.*)

Ah Jordan. Tear. We lost ye too soon. We conclude the drama with a quick exit for the two male models. We finally get a rose ceremony, where Onyekah decides it's time to peace out, Hannah G finally makes a choice (or does she?) and three of the guys are sent on a plane out of Mexico. We have more entrances - namely Jenn Saviano and Demi's much discussed "friend" Kristian. It's an emotional episode, with Demi finally making a decision to end things with Derek and pursue where things could go if she focuses on just Kristian. Oh, and The Beast pays us a visit as well.

The men have the power in the first rose ceremony, which sends several franchise vets on their way home. The Mayor of Paradise returns, along with a mustachioed version of last year's beach f-boy. And Demi discloses to Derek recent developments in her love life, leaving him unsure as to where their romance is headed.

The beach is officially OPEN! This season wastes no time in getting down to drama - mostly on Blake and things that happened before anyone stepped foot on the beach. The first two episodes are as dramatic for what happened over our first 4 hours of this season as for what happened over the last several days on Twitter -- and is still happening! There were things we missed on Twitter during the hour we pushed pause to tape this episode. We break down our thoughts on what came out this week, what's playing out online and what we're thinking for the season ahead.

There's lots to discuss this week - four hours of television, a proposal, a break-up and a twist... phew. It was a lot of TV, but we agree one of the best in recent seasons. Hannah Beast, you delivered quite the season. We catch up on some of the additional details that have come out in press since the finale, some Bachelor news and can't help but talk about how it's (cue music) Almost Paradiiiiise!

We've been leading up to this for weeks as Hannah finally says goodbye to Luke - that's if he'll let her. We have another round of Hannah standing up to him that's worthy of all the applause. And then we push pause on the rose ceremony and are whisked away to Men Tell All, where they franky don't tell much if it doesn't deal with Luke. We talk promos for the finale and some of our speculation on the end of the season which (YOU GUYS) is almost here.
