Future Bachelor

Si & Veronica are feeling the (sinus) pressure for episode 254! We aren’t the only ones as Zach only was able to get one date under his belt before he was struck by Ms. Rona in London. Gabi got the coveted one-on-one AND shopping spree date, complete with royal perfumes and corgis. The group date girlies kept crying saying they had been stood up after being told multiple times that Zach wasn’t coming. But why let them get dressed for the cocktail party?!?! Charity also gets her one-on-one canceled but ends up getting a special gift during their virtual cocktail party. For all of us with Zoom fatigue, this episode felt like a bad nightmare. Greer was all of us saying how she is used to seeing her little square of herself in the corner, but she set Zach off with her end of quarter comments. But Kylee and Mercedes were the real losers this week with being dumped via video call.  (Bachelor talk ends at time marker 43m:39s) Bruce Willis has been diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia and his family is trying t

Si & Veronica are feeling the love for this Valentine’s week episode 253! These hottie mamas and Zach the snack are headed to the Bahamas for hopefully no drama… Spoiler: There was some. The pressure is on for girls to get more time with Zach, which leads to Anastasia trying to pull Zach away from the group date. Kylee tried to interrupt as politely as she could and thus the “fight” saga began. Should Anastasia be made the villain for knowing how many followers she’s bound to gain being on the show when that is her livelihood? Our 1:1 dates get into Kat’s mommy issues and Brooklyn’s daddy issues and abusive relationship past. Zach continued his trend of nipping the drama in the bud and sent Anastasia home before roses were even handed out. Kylee seems to have survivor's guilt, but most of the girls backed her actions. What is the bomb that they are going to drop on them next week in London? Clayton wrote a book about his mental health journey and his ex Rachel might be on her breast reduction journey.  (B

Si & Veronica aren’t feeling toxic for episode 252! Jesse tried to make his date card announcements more dramatic than it was but we had a week full of dates and departures. Kaity got the full “night at the museum” treatment… but we wonder if those little cots saw more than sleep. As we prep for the Super Bowl, we got to see the girls leave it all on the field with an extra vicious Bachelor Bowl V. The names were probably the best part. Christina solidified herself as an early villain with some snide comments about Bailey’s departure and stealing Charity’s moment when Charity got the group date rose. Brianna used the pool party to spill some tea and name drop a certain content creator for Zach to have to confront as she bounced. Christina’s tears were not enough to earn her a rose and we saw the quickest rise and fall of a villain. Zach is cutting to the chase! Clare also cut to the chase and wed Ryan Dawkins this past week. Hannah G. and Dylan Barbour finally set a wedding date. Victoria Fuller is joinin

Si & Veronica are feeling like hot diggity dogs for episode 251! We get our first week of dates for Zach and his ladies. They blew the production budget with the first group date with having Latto and then three Bachelor Nation “bad bitch” alums, Victoria F., Tahzjuan, and Courtney (neither of us knew who she was). Tahzjuan didn’t think any of the women were up to snuff and attempted to join the season… but got denied by Zach. Christina Mandrell (got the name right this week) got the coveted first one-on-one date AND helicopter date AND chance to meet Zach’s family. She dropped the “I have a kid bomb” and Zach seems good with it… for now. The last group date of the week could’ve been mud wrestling for all we know because they only showed us the cocktail portion that included mostly makeouts. Brianna showed some cracks in her confidence over the course of the episode and even confronted villain-in-the-making, Christina. Hannah Ann got engaged to her NFL practice squad boo. And MadiPrew and Grant Trizzy Tro

Si & Veronica are looking for roses once again for episode 250! Zach Shallcross is ready to find love and some of these girls are already all in! This limo episode lacked crazy entrances with there being more one-liners and small props. America’s First Impression Rose winner, Briana, is still a fan favorite with her confidence and poise. Madison’s desperation got her kicked off before the rose ceremony. Zach might be making moves for Arie’s title of the makeout bandit (as we haven’t seen many moves for him to overtake Sean Lowe’s most shirtless title just yet). Greer won the first impression rose and she has already had to do a notes app apology about defending black face, so we are off to a great start! A real villain hasn’t emerged yet, but Christina Mandrell (sorry for calling her Catherine for the whole show whoops), might be a cocky contender. In other Bachelor Nation news, BIP faves Raven and Adam are expecting their second child who is due in July!  (Bachelor talk ends at time marker 41m:26s) Netfl

Episode 249 | “Best Pal” Si & Veronica are ringing in Vee’s last year of her 20s with episode 249! Nick Viall put a ring on his child bride this past week. Was his ring a potential podcast partner or just a good ethically sourced diamond company? Nick and Chris Harrison seem to be beefing… but it is more like a miscommunication manufactured as “drama” by Nick’s smart podcast producer. Natasha Parker is leaving Click Bait after feeling discouraged by the current path of the franchise. Another strong black woman out on the franchise… seems like the common denominator of the Bachelor machine might have to answer some questions soon. Dean and Caelynn celebrated their engagement in California recently and seem to be rocking and rolling on wedding planning. They won’t be having a wedding party to stand up with them at the altar. Is that going to be more peoples’ response to some of these comically large wedding parties we are seeing?  (Bachelor talk ends at time marker 20m:10s) RIP to some greats in the music s

Si & Veronica are playing with fire for episode 248! We had to shout out ourselves for our 5th Anniversary of doing the podcast! Thanks to all our longtime and new listeners. We are getting closer to Zach’s season and the previews aren’t getting any more exciting… And it doesn’t help that the TikTok contestant reveal was an audio disaster. But, the season’s secret weapon is new contestant Victoria who is “hard launching her divorce” with the season and was married to a popular Vine creator. Let’s see how much that storyline is drawn out in the season. In other news, Teddi is happy with a new man that gave her a New Year’s kiss. Susie, Andrew and Justin might all become roomies in LA. Si predicts they make their own podcast if that comes to fruition. Chris Harrison spilled the tea about the fall out from his controversy that pushed him out of the Bachelor and thanked Wells for being a good friend through it all. He wished Wells was the one to take up his spot as host and is happy (like the rest of us) that

Si & Veronica are ringing in the New Year with episode 247! Kristin Cavallari and Tyler Cameron got cozy for the holiday and it looks like it isn’t just an ad campaign thing anymore. Katie Thurston might be back in the reality dating game with a The Circle star. How are we feeling about the upcoming Bachelor season? Some fellow podcasters aren’t feeling up to the task. We went through a lot of highs and lows in Bach Nation last year and we recounted a few of our faves. Hannah Brown’s villain, Luke P. found his forever girl. Hopefully no podiums were harmed in the making of their relationship. Jesse will be sitting down with the ladies of Zach’s season, so we shall see what characters we have to look forward to.  (Bachelor talk ends at time marker 29m:37s) RIP to some of the greats, Barbara Walters and Pele. Memphis lost another rapper from their scene in Boo Gangsta. Lil Nas X is back on his trolling game with a fake son. There have been a couple of scary accidents/injuries the past couple days leaving tw

Si & Veronica are fresh off Christmas celebrations and keeping warm for episode 246! Anna Redman and Chris Bukowski are celebrating one year together. They are one of the more low-key Bach couples. Mike Johnson is officially off the market and dating a mystery girl that his friend tried to go for first! Jordan Kimball is expecting a (potentially model) baby with his wife. Seinne Flemming is married and has a bunch of gorgeous photos from her two ceremonies to prove it. Blake and Giannina are in the process of moving in together after celebrating one year together.  (Bachelor talk ends at time marker 22m:29s) Tory Lanez was found guilty on all three charges in the case involving Megan Thee Stallion but the internet is torn. Harvey Weinstein has been found guilty… again. This time it was for the sexual assault case being held against him in LA. The Young Thug/RICO trial might still be going on for most of 2023. Justin Bieber seems to be finalizing a deal to sell his catalog for $200 million. Will he get mor

Episode 245 | “Reality Multiverse”  Si & Veronica are lighting menorahs and prepping for the holidays with episode 245! Chris Harrison is getting back into the entertainment game with a new podcast that really is coining the catchphrase we all know and love (and maybe love to hate). Will he get Bachelor folks in on the pod? Kira and Romeo are another failed BIP couple after some subposting by both parties on Instagram. Hannah Brown is looking for her bag while being on the cast of a new reality show called “Special Forces: The Ultimate Test”. Looks like Susie might be crossing into Love is Blind territory with some convos with one of the villain castmates from that show. Meanwhile, many fans want her to be a bachelorette lead pick.  (Bachelor talk ends at time marker 27m:20s) Rest in Peace to Stephen “tWitch” Boss. Our hearts go out to his family, friends, and loved ones. Make sure you reach out to a loved one this week and let them know how much you care about them. People are wondering if Emrata and Pet

Si & Veronica are back off of some pre-Christmas festivities for episode 244! Tia Booth welcomed her baby boy, Tatum, to the world this past week with fiance Taylor. That is some triple T action. Some relatively unknowns in the Bachelor Nation tier system have “hard launched” this past week. Spencer, the first impression rose on Tayshia’s season, and Sam, who might’ve been on two weeks of Clayton’s season, are IG official. Arie and Lauren joined many celebs taking a stand against Balenciaga and posted a video of them burning their shoes from the controversial brand. Johnny is holding hard and fast to not falling for Nick’s tricks after being sat at the same table as him for the People’s Choice Awards and still refuses to go on his podcast.  (Bachelor talk ends at time marker 23m:28s) Brittney Griner has safely made it back to US soil and has already sunk a couple of baskets on the court. Pete Davidson has made his way back on Instagram… but this time with former NY Giant quarterback Eli Manning in tow. Ce

Si & Veronica came back to life and the ‘80s for episode 243. We are in the offseason for Bachelor Nation shows, but we aren’t too far removed from the drama of the beach just yet! Jill and Jacob already called it quits due to distance and differences on commitment. Genevieve has been in the loop with the multiple girls that Aaron was dating prior and after the show and says that the dots all connect to why he wanted to leave the beach single. Seems like that bro tangled a very not nectar web… The big tea from the past week was Victoria and Greg’s appearance on Nick Viall’s podcast. How “ethical” is it to have them tell their “side” on their friend’s podcast? That is a bit gray. But Victoria confirms the c-word calling along with the wine glass throwing. The timeline seems fast but separated from what she and Greg said. Seems like moving fast is their thing because Greg plans to move in with her in Nashville soon and thinks marriage is in the cards for them. Marlena from Clayton’s season met Shake, the vi

Episode 242 | “You Made Your Bed” Si & Veronica aren’t too full from thanksgiving for episode 242! We are back from our long weekends ready to spill the tea about the finale. To be honest, it feels like they cut out a lot from the supposed 13 hour-long filming of the reunion and we might’ve even missed the juiciest parts. Michael, Danielle, Brandon, and Serene are all happy and lovey dovey and are surrounded by mostly mess. Brittany and Tyler didn’t have a great reason for why they ended but it just seems like they weren’t a match… one was clingy and one wanted to live wild and free. Logan got to put Kate in her place. Rodney made his peace with the Eliza situation (but we didn’t get to hear any of Justin’s side). But the real meat of the episode was the Johnny, Victoria, and Greg Grippo (are we contractually obligated to say his full name?) saga. The details of the fight surrounding the c-word and wine glass throwing are still dicey, as well as the timeline of when Victoria and Greg got together vs. when

Episode 241 | “Social Media Freak”  Si & Veronica are feeling thankful for episode 241! We only cover the first night of the BIP Finale due to scheduling conflicts, so make sure you come back next week for the second night and After the Final Rose. The final rose ceremony had the roses in the dudes’ hands and all the girls except one accepted… Kate turned down Logan and claimed he was projecting his insecurities on her and just looked very shallow until the bitter end. Jesse lets the couples know that they need to decide if they are ready for engagement, to leave the beach together to try to date, or to break up. The twins have an amicable and a weird breakup, respectively. Brittany, Tyler, Danielle, and Michael all decide to leave the beach to try their relationships in the real world. Genevieve and Aaron have another toxic, insecure fight and break up. Serene/Brandon and Victoria/Johnny are the final two couples heading into Fantasy Suites but will they both end up with their true fantasy? Rumors are sw

Si & Veronica are having a long day for episode 240! We are back at two episodes a week for the penultimate week of Paradise. The mood on the beach is similar to ours with everyone still reeling after Rodney’s departure, making it especially hard for Mara to elbow her way into giving a date card out. The cougar claws come out between her and Florence, but Flo snags her baby man Justin back. Kate spends half of the first night shit talking Logan yet gets upset when he says she’s critical of him. Ency and Lindsey arrive to take some men on a double date but it ends up being just a date between Ency and Andrew after Logan has to turn Lindsey down by demand of Kate. Gabby and Rachel make an appearance on the beach to spill some tea and just bring their bitterness out on Logan. The dumbest fight in the history of fights breaks out between Genevieve and Aaron, but the ole “let me pack my bags” trick works in their favor to stay together. Becca and Thomas come down to the beach to invite everyone to a Sadie Hawk

Si & Veronica are feeling a new look for episode 239! We were blessed with only one night of Bachelor in Paradise this week due to the Midterm elections and it was the week of making love triangles a thing. The show really tried to force the love triangle of Kate, Logan, and Kate’s love of Hayden’s money on us by showing us how she gave the same story to every single girl on the beach. But at least Logan’s “The Notebook” style makeout saved him. The real love triangle was between Eliza, Rodney, and Justin. Did production just do Eliza dirty to make her look sort of like the villain no matter what she chose with her rose? The beach all went wild for her choosing Rodney at the rose ceremony, but Eliza woke up still conflicted and ended up breaking his heart anyways. The interlude between the whole beach cheering for Rodney to crying for Rodney was a weird Wells third wheel date with Michael and Danielle. Nick Viall is blowing this BIP season’s load by showing Victoria Fuller kissing Greg Grippo on his most

Si & Veronica are feeling our second wind for episode 238! And we are also wishing Si a happy 35th birthday! This week on the beach was a bit boring compared to the mess we have seen. The girls got the roses by default because Sarah had to go home for a family emergency. Victoria picks Johnny out of her triangle, but Alex gets the production pick by Florence. This is the week of the ladies testing the men to see how far they would go to pick them if they get picked for dates. Eliza tests Rodney and Kate tests Logan and both men let the girls go on their other dates, which the women aren’t happy with. Genevieve and Aaron show their dramatic hot and cold sides this week and Genevieve almost commits to going home. The twins make their arrival and Florence and Shanae are willing cougars. Bachelor Nation had a few big and small wedding this past week with Madi Prewett not having to wait any longer with her marriage to Grant Troutt, Astrid Loch and Kevin Wendt tying the knot, and Serena and Joe doing a quick we

Si & Veronica are angry at technology for episode 237! Split week continues and comes to a conclusion as well this week. Most of the girls are closed off to new connections but Brittany, Shanae, and Victoria are opening up. Kate is becoming the biggest pot stirrer after sliding in on Logan under Sarah’s nose. The redemption arc no one knew we needed happened with Shanae and Genevieve and now they are besties like two drunk girls in a bathroom. Once the girls get back to the beach, breakups explode (and some go quietly) and respect levels are tested. Will this be the messiest season on the beach? Has Shanae changed really or will her storm hit the beach hard? In other Bachelor Nation news, some engagements got super official for Dean and Caelynn and then Becca and Thomas who are now double engaged. We send our well wishes to Casey who is still dealing with injuries from his tumble in Paradise.  (Bachelor talk ends at time marker 38m:42s) Rest in peace to Leslie Jordan and we send our condolences to his fri

Si & Veronica are here for the drama for episode 236! It’s split week on the beach aka Bachelor Nation’s take on Casa Amor from Love Island. But before we even get there, we have what are possibly five men going home drop down to only two because Peter sends himself home after being confronted by the whole beach, Casey gets sent home in an ambulance, and Danielle comes down to save Michael A’s A-S-S. Michael and Danielle are on a deep, trauma-bonding date when Jesse breaks the news that Eliza, Kate, Jessenia, Sarah, and Florence are there to take the OG girls’ spots for a week. Even though they are sent to a nice resort with AC, the girls are pissed… and many are still pissed when Jesse brings in some eye candy. What relationships will last? What new ones will form? And is Rodney ready for the wrath of Lace?  (Bachelor talk ends at time marker 38m:43s) RIP to Robbie Coltrane and we send love to his family and friends. Sydney Sweeney will be starring in and producing a new Barbarella movie. Kaley Cuoco is

Si & Veronica are coming out as big ole losers for episode 235! This was the week of birthdays on the beach, with Justin sneaking a guilty kiss from Genevieve for his and Brandon getting the whole crew to sing for Serene for hers. Love triangles are forming with Shanae, Logan, and James, while Genevieve squashes hers to focus on Aaron. Jared and Ashley I. get tons of air time… literally with all of Ashley’s farts. Sierra self eliminates after Michael A. tells her he isn’t at the same spot she is at. Salley finally enters the beach to just immediately turn around when faced with her own lies. Pizza Peter comes down and gives us what we actually want, which is more screen time for Brittany. We get a strange Kira return for her to just convince Romeo to ditch the beach. Looks like next week is when stuff really gets switched up… Clare Crawley is engaged again just a month after hard launching her now fiance.  (Bachelor talk ends at time marker 45m:10s) Happy coming out day to Velma of the Scooby Doo gang!
