66 min listen
Episode 9: The Sexpisode: This episode gets wet and wild, everybody. Just a heads up, here, before we get started. Adult themes are discussed, becuase it's Fantasy Suites week, which is another way of saying that it's the Doin' It Episode. Seriously, very ribald stuff, ahoy. by Wonderful!
59 min listen
Episode 7: Ghost Ride the Boat: This week's Bachelor was a fairly tame lead-up to the absolute FIRE that is Hometowns, but there were still plenty of noteworthy occurrences.

58 min listen
Ep. 54: Zero G Barfdate: Did we all communally experience last night's episode of The Bachelor in a group fever dream? Did we really witness a Backstreet Boys dance-off, a floating post-yartz smooch and a bouncy castle hook-up? IS THIS THE MATRIX? ARE WE IN THE MATRIX? by Wonderful!
63 min listen
Episode 8: H.E.Betrayal: It's hometowns week, which means it's time for our semi-annual celebration of a dude telling four families the exact same stuff about their real-life children.

56 min listen
Roze Buddiez: Please Marry My Boy: This week, we watched a show that is literally titled Please Marry My Boy. It made us laugh harder than maybe any show in the history of television ever has? We hope we can pass some of that good, good energy along to you, our listeners. by Wonderful!
48 min listen
Roze Buddiez: Beauty and the Geek: Beauty and the Geek is like a little, mean time capsule of an era where reality shows just needed to be hateful and literally nothing else.

57 min listen
Roze Buddiez: Flavor of Love: We're between seasons of The Bachelor and Bachelorette, which is terrible, because it has led us to this: A series of episodes in which we explore shows that are not The Bachelor and Bachelorette.

45 min listen

84 min listen
Roze Buddiez: Are You the One? - Part Two: We're gonna stay on this little slice of heaven for as long as we possibly can.

Also, we mourn the loss of a dear, wet friend. by Wonderful!
60 min listen
Roze Buddiez: UnReal: There wasn't a new episode of The Bachelorette last night, which is REAL COOL, ABC. COOL STUFF.

44 min listen
Ep. 35: A Sexy Baba Yaga: We're back, and ready to wrap up the unconscionable about of Bachelor-franchise television that we watched this week.
