The Bachelor Masters

We’re back after five and a half big ones (months) with our countdown to the new season. Featuring Clare, or Tayshia, and 32, or 57, men, and recorded at La Quinta, the resort not the budget motel, we run down what we think might happen when Clare is in until she’s not and also run […]

Here we are at the end of Listen to Your Heart and what are the talking points? Hannah B hijacked the conversation on Instagram Live, Rudy and Matt left before they got to sing their songs, and the winners we thought were going to win, won. But there’s more…. Chris Harrison said creepy baby making […]

Love vesus in love… love versus the idea of being in love… falling in love versus the idea of falling in love. Rollercoaster emotions aren’t limited to Jamie in this episode; there are emotional rollercoasters all over the place! We try to break everything down in usual Bachelor Masters fashion, and also in Bachelor Masters […]

It takes us a little while to get into the content of show (meaning, we tangent a bit) but once we do, Co-host Iciar leads us on a gaslighting deconstruction journey. This is good because the definitions for gaslighting have proliferated in recent years and it’s good to get a refresher on its roots, and […]

Another week, another Listen to Your Heart breakdown by the Bachelor Masters! Topics include word pronunciation, the (non) award for winning the show, Ke$ha, a Fashion Roundup, two women’s feelings for Brandon and for whom he feels back, and, of course, breakdowns of each contestant’s breakdown. Okay, there weren’t many breakdowns by contestants, but we […]

Emotional cheating versus physical cheating: via Trevor we pounce on this opportunity to have an old-fashioned Bachelor Masters argument where we try to figure out not only what those mean but whether Trevor should feel guilty about engaging in one or the other. We also deep dive in a few other topics that this juicy […]

If you’ve ever wanted to know what it’s like to go to a Sound Bath, or a Korean Spa, then this is the podcast episode for you! It’s pretty amazing the tangents that talking about Jamie led us to, and it wouldn’t be Bachelor Masters without tangents. We do get on course, though, an discuss […]

We’re back with our countdown episode to the brand new Bachelor Cinematic Universe entry Listen to Your Heart, a show about listening to one’s heart. But should one, ya know, listen to one’s heart? We talk about that along with Co-host Iciar being late to the podcast recording, Co-host Craig defending his position on listening […]

We jump into the ring that countless other media have jumped into: Barb and her… lively… display on After the Final Rose. We argue over Madison vs Barb and include hard statistics in the form of the results from an Instagram story poll along with, per usual for us Bachelor Masters, clips of the two […]

This Women Tell All was filled with arguments, and our podcast is, per usual, filled with arguments. But these are special, Insta, arguments: the influencers talking over each other and coming to no conclusions, and us arguing over an actual Instagram post put up by Co-host Iciar. So if you like arguments, or you liked […]

We betcha we’re the only podcast around that has lined up actual audio of Madison and last season’s Luke P and played them back-to-back in order to see how their approaches to celibacy (for themselves and others) are similar or different. Related, we then talk for a while about nihilism and setting restraints on one’s […]

Dads take center stage in this recap of four hometown dates, particularly the two dads who feel that they need to protect their daughters. From Peter? It seems so, especially when moms chime in with quips such as, “Don’t go breaking my daughter’s heart.” We get to all of this and a lot more, including […]

A few conversations from our last podcast episode are continued in this podcast episode, including Co-host Iciar’s questions about what happens behind closed doors, or in this case, hot tubs. We also talk about the dates, confidence, being bored, education, isolation, religion, and even introduce a whole new Bachelor Masters segment called the Ice Skating […]

Many hours of the Bachelor this week begets a longer podcast episode. We try to stick to Bachelor Masters deep dives into topics rather than moving sequentially through the scenes, with some tangents sprinkled in. Whether we were successful in this task is up to you, dear listener, so hit the play button and join […]

Victoria F and Victoria P… Victoria P and Victoria F… as Co-host Caitlin puts it in this podcast episode, “I would like both of them to go home.” But why? What is triggering, for example, Co-host Craig’s vitriol of Victoria F given he usually doesn’t turn on contestants so definitively. And why is Co-host Iciar […]
