The fellas are back, and they're not coming empty handed. They bring Thomas on this episode to catch up, and give everyone the lowdown on all things engagement, life after the show, and insight on what's next.  Thomas discusses the pressures he and Becca were able to get through together and focus on their own dating timeline, rather than have anything feel rushed.  We were able to navigate through Thomas' upbringing, discovering what gets his creative juices flowing, his passions, and even...

Ivan goes ring shopping! What's your ideal ring, and would you be opposed to one that's lab-made? Speaking of rings, we're getting closer and closer to seeing Brandon give one to Serene. We feel they aren't getting enough love this season, so here's something to root for as we close in on the last few episodes. Let's bring it in a bit, and put a stamp on Justin & Eliza. Justin chooses himself, as Eliza did when she left the beach. However, it didn't turn out the way she'd hope. Remember...

How are we feeling after Eliza & Rodney's sudden split? BIP has definitely been one for the dramatics this season, but we weren't hoping for this. We wanted to see Justin happy, Eliza happy, but not like THIS. Now that Eliza has left to track down Justin after sending him home, where do we go from here? Mo' Money, Mo' Love? That's how it's sounding at least from Kate's end. Can we help Logan on an Equinox membership, that may help! Kate ultimately sends home Hayden, but gives Logan her...

The OG Women are back on the beach, and it's looking like it can go either way if their relationship is still intact.  Aaron/Genevieve, & Brandon/Serene were both able to see through the Paradise Split. Everyone else however, has some explaining to do. Then there's Michael & Danielle, happy to be here and watching this all unfold.  Rumor Has It... This season of Paradise is filming their reunion very soon, we wonder what could be in the works.  Victoria Fuller & Greg Grippo may be...

We have our first ever Bachelor In Paradise Split, emphasize 'split,' we're not on a break... or are we? The OG Women are told to leave the beach to live in a beautiful estate while the men stay on the beach, with NEW arrivals coming! The OG men are met with new women, while the OG women are heartbroken, until new men surprise them as well. Michael & Danielle are on the longest 1 on 1 date in history, which somehow leads to them being exempt from adhering to 'The Split.' That's weird,...

There's a suitcase on the beach, so let's unpack it here now that we're one rose ceremony in, women have the roses, and there's more guys than "F's to give." Bachelor In Paradise (BIP) is nothing short of twists and turns, but what else should we have expected? Ashley & Jared arrive to remind the group that the process works, while they spend an unwarranted honeymoon on the beach. They're Bachelor royalty, definitely classy, and a little gassy to say the least.  Genevieve, Aaron, and...

We have a big name walking down to the beach, and no it's not (fill in the blank)... it's Victoria Fuller! Paradise is starting to heat up and Fuller is here to turn up the thermostat. Ivan & Demar discuss Fuller's one on one with Justin, and her drift to Johnny.  Meanwhile, Shanae & Logan ("Shogan") are finding a romantic connection. Genevieve and Justin are slowly disconnecting, and Aaron + James are (despite the bromance) inspecting potential love interests. And yes, Aaron and...

FINALE PT. 2 LIVED UP TO THE HYPE! Or at least, Ivan & Demar felt that way. In the words of Katy Perry, Tino 'kissed a girl, and he liked it,' or didn't like it... not exactly sure at this point, but all we do know for sure is that girl was NOT Rachel! That's where the plot thickens and where Tino's chances of regaining trust and love in Rachel, slimmed.  Rachel and Erich seemed to have figured out what works for them, and are navigating their way through their love for one another....

What in the 'H-E-Double Hockey Sticks' is going on in these last few guys for Rachel & Gabby. This season of The Bachelorette is nothing short of twists and turns, and (some of) the men are not feeling like taking a turn towards an engagement. We understand, there's an abundance of reasons why someone would want to prolong getting down on one knee, however, the frequency of this is starting to become alarming... yet refreshing?  The fellas, Ivan & Demar, jump right into the three main...

After watching this fast-forwarded version of 'Hometown Week' on The Bachelorette, it seemed as if every new family was followed by a commercial. If you're not new to the franchise, you know that usually the franchise likes to take it slow around this time of the season. We get to learn more and gain depth with the remaining contestants. However, this time around, it felt like we were rushing to show next week's episode. At least, you have Ivan and Demar here to break down some notable...

The ship is ROCKING during and we wonder if anyone is getting a little seasick? The fellas meander through controversial topics and side-eyeing a spicy group date with not so spicy safe-words.

We see a 1 on 1 end too soon and another 1 on 1 shows a strong...

The fellas are back, in the comfort of their own homes, and they have some topics to get into! As you can gauge, this Bachelorette season is as rocky as the cruise ship that they've called home. For Rachel, nothing seems to go the way that she'd hoped, while Gabby seems to be thriving week after week. A contestant learns to double dip with something more than just his fries, while the time ticks down for Meatball. Food references aside, Ivan and Demar's original top 4 contestants they had...
