Though this wasn’t the most riveting week of reality dating tv, we’re here to recap Joan’s hometown dates and the finale of Love is Blind DC. We discuss all of Joan’s hometown dates, including tangents about veneers and keratin hair treatments, because there’s almost nothing else to talk about?  We also discuss the incredibly cringey Love is Blind finale, including the real backstory with Tyler and his kids, what we really think Ramses was doing when he broke up with Marissa, the most unfair...

This week, we catch up on the latest episode of the Golden Bachelorette, which has basically cemented Mark’s position as the next Golden Bachelor?

It’s a sad day on the pod, as we say goodbye to two Bachelor Nation greats this episode: Gary and Charles L. And while we love them and so many men on this cast, we also have to talk about the recent scandal surrounding Guy and the protective order brought against him by his ex-wife. We also offer our thoughts on Jordan, Mark’s close-talking habit, and who we think is poised to win it all.   Then, it’s time to talk about Love is Blind DC, which is finally starting to get interesting. Are...

It’s official: this season of Love Is Blind should be called “The season of the The Ick.” In this episode, we dive deep into episodes 3 through 6 as the couples finally exit the pods and head to the retreats in Mexico.

We reveal some shocking new details about Tyler’s personal life (major red flags), Hannah and Nick’s fraught connection, what...

In this week’s episode, we break down the latest drama from Joan’s Golden Bachelorette season, starting with questioning whether kickball is secretly worse than baseball for elderly men.

Of course, Charles L remains our all-time favorite, while we’re on edge waiting for Chock’s possible exit.    We also discuss the first two episodes of Love is Blind S7 in...

We’re full steam ahead with Joan’s season of The Golden Bachelorette, and loving every minute of it. First up, we celebrate Charles L, who continues to prove why he’s an icon of the season. Then we dive into the action: Mark is quietly turning up the heat, while Dan delivers a strong performance that’s hard to ignore. We also ask the question on everyone’s mind — why is Gil still here? And take some time to give a shoutout to the girl dads for melting our hearts once again, and, of course, to...

Just over a week after Jenn’s dramatic Bachelorette finale, lots of drama has ensued in Bachelor Nation and we are here to discuss it all.
