We all need something wholesome today and, surprisingly, the Men Tell All delivered! While a dash of extra drama would’ve been nice, there is a lot of love, support, and a Gay Men’s Chorus. Things we could all use today!

It’s fantasy suites and the final three have the arduous task of traveling down to Tahiti to prove their love! Or friendship! At this point it seems like we have a clear winner, but will everyone be ready to make the commitment?

This week, we’re traveling the country (but mainly Chicago) to visit the hometowns of our final four! Are these men ready to introduce Joan to their family, friends, and fellow hair stylists? We’re joined this week by longtime journalist and author of Genealogy of a Murder, Lisa Belkin!

Halloween is just around the corner, so what better film to watch than Practical Magic! It’s got love, witchcraft— and midnight margaritas! Just remember to always toss spilt salt over your left shoulder and fall in love whenever you can. Joining the coven this week is friend of the pod and host of Shaken & Disturbed, Daryn Carp!

As more men are eliminated, the mansion feels a lot emptier and the competition for Joan’s heart feels a lot stronger! Some will be locked for hometowns while others are packing their bags. Of course, sometimes the most heartbreaking part is watching the men say goodbye to their new friends…

When Joan said to bare it all, she really meant bare it all! This week Joan pushes the men outside their comfort zones by making them strip and zest lemons! Luckily, everyone still has a blast and even when things get tough, they find comfort in the rest of the cast. We love to see it! Here to break it all down with us– and give a first person perspective of the date– is former Bachelorette and host of Off The Vine, Kaitlyn Bristowe!

Join culture critics Emma Gray and Claire Fallon as they unpack all the weird messages that pop culture sends us about love, sex, and dating!

They are the mansion men and they’re willing to do anything for Joan– like, winning at kickball or getting a good night’s sleep! But in between all the fun and games, there are some real moments of emotional vulnerability, so make sure you grab your tissues!

Today we’re looking back at ‘27 Dresses’ like it’s a groom at a wedding! Whether you’re an all-star bridesmaid or a jaded commitments columnist, you’ll find something new to appreciate about weddings. And the best part? You don’t need to cut this movie shorter to enjoy it again! To help us unpack the closet is Bachelor Nation star, author, and bride-to-be, Abigail Heringer!

What do you do during your senior year(s)? Go to prom! This week Joan and the Golden Gents are staying young at heart… even if their knees are too old for the top bunk. This week also has the 2nd Annual Golden Talent Showcase, a long overdue visit to the happiest place on earth, and a poolside BBQ. Cannonball! 

We just finished, dare I say it? One of the most dramatic seasons of The Bachelorette ever and we still aren't over it. In this episode we're sharing a clip from our friends Sharleen Joynt and Andy Levine's show, Dear Shandy. Dear Shandy is a dating advice podcast but they’re also known for their hilarious take on relationship reality shows, from The Bachelor to Love is Blind (even Time Magazine wrote about their recaps!). They will be recapping The Golden Bachelorette so you will not want to miss it (if you're reading this, the first Golden Bachelorette recap is up wherever you get your podcasts, so why don't you go check it out?!). Listen to Dear Shandy on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.   

In this News & Gossip episode, we’re tackling all the recent allegations about Devin Strader. Following an atrocious ‘Bachelorette’ finale, new information has come forward about Devin that makes us ask: Why was he ever cast in the first place? And what can the franchise do to better protect their contestants?   TW: This episode features discussion of domestic violence, verbal abuse, and stalking.   If you recognize any of these behaviors in your own or a loved one’s partner, call 1.800.799.SAFE or text “START” to 88788 to contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline.

It’s the inaugural season of The Golden Bachelorette! Joan, our first Golden Bachelorette, holds all the hopes of Bachelor Nation: We need a win. Her suiters – the girl dads – have finally arrived on our television shores. Don’t let us down. We’re joined by Kelsey McKinney, host of Normal Gossip and author of the upcoming book, “You Didn’t Hear This From Me: (Mostly) True Notes on Gossip.”

With The Golden Bachelorette airing on Wednesday nights, we’ll be releasing our recaps on Thursdays! You can still expect it first thing in the morning following the new episode of Golden Bachelorette. Plus, we’ll have bonus episodes to release a couple times a month on Tuesdays.   We’ll see you on Thursday to recap the first ever episode of The Golden Bachelorette!

It’s barely been a week since the finale and there has been a news and gossip storm! In this episode, we’re breaking down all the finale fallout. Joining us to discuss Devin’s revenge text drop is our production assistant, Tatiana Knies-Smith!   In this episode we cover…  Ben Higgins’ thoughts on the finale Jenn Tran’s various podcast appearances Jonathan’s interview on The Viall Files Devin’s revenge text video Relationship updates from Bachelor Nation

The first ever season of The Golden Bachelorette is upon us and these girl dads and retired business boys are ready to find love! We’re breaking down the bios of every cast member to give you everything you need to prep for next week’s premiere.

Well, that was a trainwreck. Jenn’s Bachelorette journey has come to an end and it was not the happy ending we were all hoping for. Not only was she mistreated by the men, but the show itself made the wrong choice at every opportunity. Let’s just hope Dancing With The Stars treats her better!

This season has been such a wild ride that we almost forgot about all the drama just waiting for the Men Tell All! All of the Jenn-tleman are back and ready to hash out the season. We get more from Brett, Sam M. tries to defend himself, and a conversation with next season’s Bachelor, Grant! Plus, the conclusion to last episode’s cliffhanger. Joining this week is co-host of Bachelor in Retrospect, Carrie Rosen!

It’s fantasy suites week! But in the last dates before proposal week, two of Jenn’s final guys have done a full role reversal and made themselves the deciders in their relationship. Emma is taking a break, so Claire is joined by former Bachelor contestant and host of the mental health podcast “A Little Help For Our Friends” Jacqueline Trumbull!

Is it just us, or do hometowns need some shaking up? This week, Jenn visits the families of her final four and they play all the hits. Some men profess their love, others have trouble with cautious family members. The whole thing has us wondering if there is something new that can be done with the hometowns format…
