You thought we were done? We thought we were done. Just about everyone who watched Bachelor in Paradise fell totally in love with Kristina Schulman, including us. So we’re so glad to be joined by phone with her for a special bonus interview. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

We're in the presence of true love. Taylor Nolan and Derek Peth join us to relive their journey together in Paradise.

But we're not done yet! Check back tomorrow for a special bonus episode with Taylor Nolan and Peth. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

The journey is almost over, and we should be thinking about love. So this week in Paradise, love triangles and love squares. Plus, Robby takes it slow, and everyone kisses Jack. Also – Freddy arrives, Ben Z. goes home to his dog, Kristina gives up on Dean, and the twins try very hard to ruin Paradise. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

This was supposed to be our refuge, and instead it was four hours of middle-school BS. We're joined by Jada Yuan of New York Magazine and Vulture, to discuss scallop fingers, low key bullying, romantic Robby vs. friend Robby, Dean's love triangle, and the arrival of Daniel. Plus, we try to close the book on the production shutdown set off by Corinne and DeMario. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

After a sexual misconduct investigation, 'Bachelor In Paradise' is back for season 4. And despite the hype, the incident was mostly ignored in episode 1. We met the cast, said goodbye to Jorge, DeMario and Corrine, and then said hello to our new resident bartender, Wells. Amid shutdown, we begin episode 2 with Carly and Evan's wedding. It was lovely but unfortunately felt overshadowed. Back in 'Paradise' the franchise shirked any blame and instead offered the remaining cast as its human shield. It was tough to watch. Joining us in studio to recap both episodes 1 and 2 of 'Paradise' is Brett Vergara, Community Strategist at Buzzfeed. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

We've been keeping a mystery episode from you. We teased this interview a couple weeks ago, and we're sorry if we lead you astray! It's miracle season! We're joined by Eric Bigger, and we can finally air this, because he's off the show! We talked to him about his time with Rachel, the emergence of his beard, and asked him about life after The Bachelorette. Might he be the next Bachelor? But that's not all – we were able to field one burning question to Rachel and Bryan during their stop at AOL Build Series earlier this week. We hope you'll enjoy and we'll see you next week in Paradise! See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Joining us to recap is writer, activist, and Publisher and Executive Director of the Feminist Press, Jamia Wilson! See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Some people hate it, but we love it -- it’s the episode where the men don’t exactly tell all, but they do talk back a little bit. Last night, we heard Blake and Lucas revisit Bananagate, sort of, DeMario defending the practice and art of having a side chick, and Anthony, Josiah and Rachel take Lee to school. And to unpack every single moment, we're joined by opera singer, Flare contributor, and podcaster Sharleen Joynt. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

There's no episode to recap this week, so we decided to talk about “Bachelorette” firsts: the experience of being a first time viewer of the show, the significance of the first black Bachelorette, and what it’s like to be kicked off of the show on your very first night. Up first, we spoke to Charreah Jackson, senior editor at Essence, about her first time watching The Bachelorette -- which she’s doing this season. She’s written pieces like “We Still Have to Be Twice As Good: 4 Racial Reality Checks from The Bachelorette's Love Life” about the experience of watching the first black Bachelorette. Then, we talked to Rob Howard, who you may remember, vaguely, from your TV screen back in May. He was one of Rachel Lindsay’s suitors, and was eliminated on the very first night. Rob told us all about the anticlimactic experience of being a first-nighter. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

We're back for the second time this week. Actress Erin Darke joins to send off 'snakey' Lee, discuss Eric's need for affirmation, and the consistently wild misdirection from ABC's promos. We also enjoy more lovely dates from across Scandinavia, including Viking games led by Morton and Tom. It was a redemption of sorts for Kenny, but in the end he and Rachel decided it was best for them to part ways. Finally, we break down the new rules and regulations in 'Paradise' and more of DeMario's interview with E! News. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

On this episode, we talk through part one of Kenny & Lee's two on one date, and we're just hoping that Lee get's washed under in the tide of realness that is Kenny. We're joined by Phoebe Robinson of the amazing 2 Dope Queens podcast, who helps us say goodbye to the tickle monster and Jack Stone, and say hello to men in tight handball uniforms. Lastly, we discuss part 1 of DeMario's exclusive interview with E! News and brace ourselves for an entire new episode this evening. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

On this episode, Claire and Emma relive the freestyle battles, an unwanted woodcarving, a possibly rigged spelling bee, an emotional and boozy blimp flight, and the obligatory and awkward country singer slow dance.
