Will You Accept This Podcast

We are back! This time with 30 ladies vying for the attention of one Bachelor we can't stop hearing V-card jokes about. ABC treated us to a three hour kick off (one hour we're still puzzled about the why behind). We're breaking it all down, along with playing catch-up on some interesting off-season news from Bachelor Nation. Decided to skip the premiere and just listen to us instead? We approve of that plan as well!

We're at the end of our time on the beach. There are proposals, unexpected goodbyes - and a ton of related Bachelor news to sift through.

It's our next to last week in Mexico and it's filled with all the feels. Eric tells Angela he's all in with her -- until Cassandra arrives. And then Colton tells Tia he just can't commit. These two things lead others to question their relationships. Ashley and Jared appear for their proposal which slightly upsets Kevin. He continues to impress us with how awesome he is though, as he smoothly transitions into a lovely date out with Astrid. And Diggy is back. YES! We also talk about this week's Bachelor announcement and how it has us feeling about the new season on the horizon.

This week brought lots of change in Paradise. There were voluntary exits, broken promises, new enticing entrants and love triangles galore. There were strange dates (crashing a quinceañera) and ones we were jealous of (cheese, desserts and champagne - yes please). This week's rose ceremony was all about Chelsea, with her rose the one the guys were fighting over to the finish. We also catch up on all sorts of Bachelor news, as it's been an active week!

Week 3 brought more drama as the newcomers keep on coming. This week, there was Caroline, Jubilee, Jacqueline, Benoit and Leo - some of which only made a brief cameo before they made their way back to the States. There's still entirely too much Colton/Tia drama, complete with a return by Adam and Raven to provide her with some counsel. Kenny explores his options. Jenna is not too thrilled with Jordan's outburst of jealous rage and finds herself swept up in a romantic date with Benoit. Kendall accepts a date with Leo, with a romance novel premise that leans into his Fabio-esque appearance. We are left with a bit of a cliffhanger, unsure where things resolve with Kendall / Joe / Leo going into next week's rose ceremony where the girls hold the power.

This week it was hard to keep up as we dig into episodes 2 and 3. Jordan is into Annaliese. Wait, in comes Jenna. Nevermind. Kenny and Krystal go on a 1:1 and hit it off. Wait, scratch that. She's not so into it after all. Caroline shows up and takes John on a date, who goes on another date when Jubilee arrives. Tia talks with Chris who confirms he's all in, just before he decides to go all in ... to Krystal's mouth. Becca also makes an unexpected trip to the beach for a conversation with Colton that seemed super unnecessary but he claims gave him closure. Sure. And we were left waiting for next week's rose ceremony with the men in control. And, of course, we catch up on a touch of Bachelor news!

Paradise is here, at last! It's a full resort this week, with 10 guys, 9 ladies and the women in control. There's the first date card, which Tia treats like the plague. Lots of the ladies are into Grocery Store Joe, the ladies note that Krystal has a "new voice" and we learn more modeling poses from Jordan. Things are just heating up in Mexico, setting the stage for an epic season. We wrap up this episode with some of the latest in Bachelor news.

It was finally time for our big conclusion - three hours of neverending TV. Becca's family weighed in - and as tends to be the norm, she didn't chose their preferred man. There was an emotional yet composed confrontation from the runner-up, over the top smiles from Becca and an unfortunate return by a minivan. We share our thoughts and can't stop veering into Paradise.

It was finally time for the Men Tell All. While it wasn't as fiery as for most seasons, we got some comedic relief, lots of Jordan and some bloopers. Delightful yet way too few bloopers. We talk about the upcoming finale and can't stop veering off towards Paradise in anticipation of next week's premiere. We. Can't. Wait.

The final three are off to Thailand for the week for Fantasy Suites. It's mostly smooth sailing for Blake and Garrett (the latter of which ends up sleeping in a tree house - what?). However it's less of a similar ride for Jason, who has Becca disappear multiple times to get it together before ultimately sending him home before the evening concludes. We also share some Bachelor News!
