Married with Television

Paradise has come to an end, and Lee and Andrea recap the finale before announcing a hiatus of their own. First, however, they come to terms with the devastating news that Peter will not be the next bachelor and talk about the scandalous choice that's rocking Bachelor nation. Then they say farewell to the Paradise castaways and discuss the surprise proposal that somehow managed to warm their hearts. Stay tuned to @MarriedTVpod on Twitter and @MarriedWithTelevision on Facebook for the latest updates on when you can expect the next installment of the Married With Television podcast. 

This week it's a house divided on Married With Television as Lee and Andrea square off with vastly different opinions on everything from Andrea's new found appreciation for Jack Stone to Lee's unexpectedly positive perception of the twins. But the one thing that everyone agrees on is how much Dean sucks. Paradise is rapidly coming to a close, so grab your scallops and pour yourself a Pedialyte as the sun begins to set on our favorite castaways. 

Lee and Andrea pause to reflect on the devastation in Texas caused by Hurricane Harvey as well as the encouraging relief and rescue efforts. Then they move into recapping this week's Bachelor in Paradise which started out with everyone's favorite party game: What Dat Mouf Do Tho? Tickle Monster wasn't the only one feeling crabby as tensions flared between Taylor and Derek, while Dean continued to disappoint. Finally, the new arrivals of Christen and Daniel shake things up, and none of us will ever be able to look at scallops the same way again.

Mercury is in retrograde, and Lee and Andrea are feeling its effects. They discuss their own personal solar eclipse stories, and Lee reveals the gas station snack food he turns to for comfort in these trying times. On the Paradise front, they ponder the appeal of Raven and Adam, drag Dean for the #wayharshTai treatment of Kristina, ride the rollercoaster of Lacey’s emotions, and discuss the one scene from Paradise this week that deserves an Emmy. 

Lee and Andrea set sail on covering the new season of Bachelor In Paradise and discuss the unforgettable opening credits, Robbie's new face, sweaty Iggy's pending demise, celebrity dating apps, and everything else one could possibly hope for in a recap about a bunch of drunk reality stars kissing and crying their way through their extended 15 minutes of fame. 

Lee and Andrea are blown away by this weeks Bachelorette finale, and not in a good way. Andrea seeks solace from the one and only Oprah and Lee is looking ahead to Paradise, but first they take a look at how everything went wrong for Rachel and Peter. They also may have stumbled onto a sequel idea for Rachel and Bryan called "It Is What It Is" featuring everyone's least favorite couple at Thanksgiving dinner as Bryan meets Rachel's Federal Judge dad and has to contend with Constance. Grab your ponchos, batten down the hatches, and prepare yourself - the end is near. 

Lee and Andrea are back with a brief recap of this week's Bachelorette: The Men Tell All episode. They quickly discover they're more excited by the amazing studio audience reaction shots than by anything the men have to say. Dean appears to be an audience favorite, but questionable wardrobe choices and a sticky situation with gum leave Lee and Andrea in doubt. They look ahead to next week's finale and are preparing themselves for the worst (i.e.- Bryan), but gearing up for what looks to be an exciting season of Bachelor in Paradise. 

Lee and Andrea briefly recap their weekend which shockingly included staying out past 10:00pm. Next they talk about the joys and sorrows of movie theater etiquette in LA before jumping into this week's episode of The Bachelorette which saw Rachel's family meet the final three guys. There's a lot to cover including Peter's strong start and rough finish, and Eric's infatuation with his hot tub moment. However, Lee and Andrea are most excited about Mama Lindsay, Constance, and the rest of Rachel's family's less than stellar reaction to Bryan. Awkward family dynamics, the correct pronounciation of the word "vulnerable," and a vineyard run by Chef Boyardee await!

Filmmaker and host of the My First Feature podcast, Ethan Cushing, joins Lee and Andrea this week. After some Southern Charm news and a recap of Andrea's birthday weekend spent with Faith Hill and Tim McGraw (in concert, not as besties) they dive into this week's episode of The Bachelorette. Everyone has a lot to say on everything from Bryan's weird relationship with his mom to Dean's showdown with his dad. Lee is very concerned about who the emerging front runner is and they all speculate on who may win and who might be the next Bachelor. Join the gang and prepare to have your chakra aligned!

Lee and Andrea are back from visiting Charleston and have a MAJOR secret to share about where they stayed in the Holy City (hint: it was the house of one of their favorite Southern Charmers)! They also detail their near run-in with trouble outside of Patricia's house before recapping the Southern Charm season finale/reunion. They close things out by discussing this week's episode of The Bachelorette which saw two guys go home that they barely got to know, plus predictions are made about who the next Bachelor might be.

Lee and Andrea drag themselves away from their beach vacation long enough to bring you their abbreviated thoughts on this week’s four-hour Bachelorette that spanned two nights. They leave no (Jack) Stone unturned covering everything from that creepy smile that sent all of America reeling, to Rachel’s walking tourism ad for Denmark, and wrap-up with some final reflections on the most cut-throat week in recent Bachelorette history which saw Rachel send SIX guys home.

Lee and Andrea are fired up after this week's explosive episode of The Bachelorette, which Lee declares is "an assault on the English language." They also recite a dramatic reading from a cringe-worthy exchange between Rachel and Bryan before diving into commentary on Alex's purple tiger suit, strange country music lyrics, and the escalating situation with Kenny and the other Lee (the one who has racist tendencies). Finally, as Lee and Andrea prepare to travel to Charleston next week, they check in on the Southern Charm gang and wonder how likely they are to run into Shep at a bar. 

  Lee and Andrea discuss the news that's rocking Bachelor Nation this week, and Andrea shares her own terrible news about a recent incident that has left her questioning everything. Without a new episode of The Bachelorette, our favorite Southern Idiots are front and center this week.            

Lee and Andrea discuss the recent announcement of the new cast for Bachelor in Paradise, and also share some exciting news from the Twitter-verse regarding one Adam Jr. (aka - everyone's favorite doll who's looking for love). Then they jump into discussing the latest episode of The Bachelorette which includes a revealing trip to the Ellen show, a painful lesson in kissing with Fred, a jarring observation about Anthony, and a mud-wrestling competition that leads to mud-slinging as emotions heat-up. Finally, they briefly check-in on the Southern Charm gang and ponder a controversial opinion that Patricia may in fact be the best match for Thomas. 

Lee and Andrea discuss their recent trip to Vegas, which nearly resulted in a run-in with some former Bachelor contestants (hi Raven!), and then they dive into the latest episode of The Bachelorette including some obligatory Whaboom analysis, figuring out what's going on with Peter's hair, and breaking down that whole situation with DeMario and his crazy-ex. They also briefly check in with the Southern Charm gang, including that weird lady at Thomas and Landon's dinner who wins Worst Reality TV Cameo of all time.
