Episode 267 | “Who’s Your Host?”
Si & Veronica are ready for family dinner for episode 267! Kaity and Zach are doing something abnormal in Bachelor Nation… by going back to their normal jobs. Kaity is back to her 12-hour nursing shifts and LA isn’t on the horizon for them as a couple. But, they did join other old school and new school Bachelor favorites for some marathon “Almost Famous” pod recordings with Ashley I. and Ben Higgens. The whole gang (including Clare Crawley, her husband Ryan, Rachel Recchia, Gabby Windey, Chris Harrison, and Lauren Zima) grabbed dinner together and boy do we wish we could’ve been a fly on the wall. There aren't a ton more details about Golden Bachelor yet, but Martha Stewart said it isn’t completely off the table, but she would have to get a sneak peek at her bachelor(s) first. On a recent podcast, Kaitlyn Bristowe talked about how she was discouraged from sharing her bisexuality by the Bachelor psychologist and was warned that it would be used against her. In other reality TV news, Love Is Blind season 3 couple Colleen and Matt are moving in together after two years of marriage.  (Bachelor/reality TV talk ends at time marker 24m:16s) Ariana Madix is making her press rounds with her hitting the big time with a guest spot on Call Her Daddy. Billie Eilish and Jesse Rutherford have reportedly broken up. Robert De Niro and his baby mama were seen at Cannes. Taylor Lautner sort of knows that he is the favorite ex of Taylor Swift… but wishes John Mayer the best as Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) is coming out soon. Vee went “Yikes!” to a paparazzi/photographer fueled car chase of Harry and Meghan after an event in NYC. Some folks think they did it for publicity, but why would you want to recreate how your mother, Princess Diana, died?

Episode 266 | “Golden Years”
Si & Veronica are still sweaty from the dance floor for episode 266! It is finally here!! “It” being the confirmed announcement that The Golden Bachelor will air on Mondays this fall. But is it a miss to air a show about 60-year-olds at 10 p.m. EST? Bachelor alum, Colton Underwood, has a husband now! One of the twins from Ben Higgens season/BIP, Emily Ferguson, welcomed her first baby this week. Alexis Waters, known for loving dolphins but doing her limo entrance in a shark costume, got engaged to longtime boyfriend over her 30th birthday weekend. Is Tayshia Adams heading that same way with supposed boyfriend Luke Gulbranson of Summer House? The pair was spotted in Tiffany’s looking at rings. * side-eye emoji *  (Bachelor/reality TV talk ends at time marker 25m:31s) The Weeknd might be going with his weekday, aka government, name soon. Will this be his turn into more acting? Sports Illustrated announced their cover stars for their swimsuit issue and they include Megan Fox, Brooks Nader, Kim Petras, and Martha Stewart, who at 81 is the oldest cover star.

Chrishell Stause and G Flip had a Vegas wedding this past weekend. Bill Hader and Ali Wong are giving their love another go after briefly dating last fall and being spotted together again.

May 10 2023
Episode 265 | “Vacation Fling on Steroids”
Si & Veronica are heading into wedding season for episode 265! But one of Paradise’s seemingly strong couples will no longer be heading down the aisle. Brandon and Serene posted a joint Instagram post saying they have ended their relationship but there has been no specific tea spilled just yet. We wish them the best. Lesser known Bachelor Nation cast-off couple, Spencer (Tayshia’s season) and Sam (Clayton’s season) have also called it quits. BIP Canada season 2 has kicked off and it looks like some of these Americans are there to make waves. Should we get a VPN to watch? We talk at length about how Jess might’ve been a dark horse from Zach’s recent season after seeing her post-show glow-up.  (Bachelor/reality TV talk ends at time marker 35m:53s) The writers’ strike is impacting the MTV Movie & TV Awards and Drew Barrymore has pulled out of hosting. Ed Sheeran won his copyright infringement case but do you think that “Thinking Out Loud” and “Let’s Get It On” by Marvin Gaye sound the same? Khloe Kardashian’s baby boy’s name might finally be revealed as Tatum Robert Thompson. Taylor Swift had a busy weekend of her rainy Nashville shows confirming that the “Speak Now” rerecorded album is coming this summer and helping swirl the dating rumors between her and The 1975’s Matt Healy. Vee went “Yikes!” to Chris Brown and Usher potentially fighting and Robert De Niro being a 79-year-old dad of an infant.

May 3 2023
Episode 264 | “Being Realistic”
Si & Veronica are surprised by the amount of pop culture news for episode 264! Becca and Thomas are expecting their first baby together this September! Much to many fans' dismay, Lauren and Cameron from season 1 of Love Is Blind will not be the new hosts for the upcoming fifth season. But, Lauren will be back on reality TV with Amazon Freevee’s new competition show The GOAT, along with Bachelor Nation faves Grocery Store Joe and Tayshia Adams. Pilot Pete and Kelley have officially broken up… again. Gabby Windey talked about what actually was going on with her and Vinny on Kaitlyn Bristowe’s podcast and it wasn’t all jokes… they actually do have some romantic feelings but schedules make it tough. The Bachelor season 27 girlies are living their best lives and went on a Miami girls trip this past weekend. The White House Correspondents Dinner included several social media and reality stars in attendance, such as Rachel Lindsay and her husband Bryan Abasolo and some of the ladies of Vanderpump Rules. That ended up being fitting for when a Scandoval reference was made and everyone at home could see Ariana’s reaction in the crowd at dinner.  (Bachelor/reality TV talk ends at time marker 24m:00s) The first Monday of May aka the Met Gala has come and gone with some folks taking on Karl Lagerfeld’s cat Choupette, Chanel archive looks, and pregnancy announcements from Serena Williams and Karlie Kloss. A cockroach even made its Met carpet debut. Rest in peace to Jerry Springer and all the fun compilations his show has brought us. Alex Cooper aka Ms. Call Her Daddy is engaged to her Mr. Sexy Zoom Man. People are trying to figure out if Miley Cyrus released some demo tracks under a fake name, Clara Pierce, or if someone else leaked them before they were taken off of streaming platforms. Vee went “Yikes!” to some rom com promos that might’ve gone too far with Glen Powell’s relationship ending and people speculating about the stability of Sydney Sweeney’s relationship with her fiance in light of videos with her aforementioned co-star.

Episode 262 | “Magic is Gone”
Apr 19 2023
Episode 262 | “Magic is Gone”
Si & Veronica are really scraping the bottom of the barrel for Bachelor Nation news for episode 262! Kaitlyn Bristowe went on her fiance’s podcast to talk about her earnings and negotiations from her time on reality TV. Scandoval is still alive and kicking after Tom Sandoval went on Howie Mandel’s podcast and got plenty of backlash from the content of the show. Ariana might have already moved on with a new fling seen at Coachella. Love Is Blind was the main source of reality tv drama this week… even though their delayed “live” reunion barely touched any of the on-screen drama. The Lachey’s are getting backlash for being pushy about babies and for generally not helping lead juicy conversation. Much like last season, it feels like most of the drama will unfold with receipts on IG. Marshall went onto Nick Viall’s podcast to talk about Jackie’s betrayal and his time on the show. Business Insider revealed some of the nasty underpinnings of the popular show with examples from their first season in Atlanta.  (Bachelor/reality TV talk ends at time marker 30m:35s) Coachella weekend one was this past weekend and the stars were out and about. Bad Bunny stans were not pleased to see multiple PDA videos of Benito and Kendall Jenner. Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello fans were confused to see the exes getting cozy. And Frank Ocean disappointed his huge crowd with his tardiness and strange set and stage configuration. Ariana Grande spoke out about how folks shouldn’t comment on other people’s bodies and what they deem to be healthy or not. Vee went “Yikes!” to Drake Bell going missing by a Florida middle school just to be found several hours later?? Join us for what is always a good time and leave us a rating and review for a shoutout!

Episode 261 | “Hot Commodity”
Apr 12 2023
Episode 261 | “Hot Commodity”
Si & Veronica are feeling the spring vibes for episode 261! Madi Prewett is getting her bag with Cupshe by making supposedly “modest, faith-aligned” bathing suits with the fast fashion brand. There seems to be a Bravo/Bachelor romance crossover after a picture featuring Tayshia and Luke from Summer House subtly holding hands was deleted from IG. Joshua Tylerbest from Katie Thurston’s season has been arrested on 15 child sexual abuse materials charges… Scandoval is still brewing, especially after Schwartz’s manic Watch What Happens Live appearance. Netflix is changing it up and doing their first ever live reunion show with this current season of  Love is Blind. Bartise, known villain from season 3 of LIB and from Perfect Match has revealed he has a baby son.  (Bachelor/reality TV talk ends at time marker 32m:03s) Amidst all the Eras tour content, the Swifties and sources close to the singer have stated that Taylor and longtime-bf Joe Alwyn have broken up. Will the rest of her tour feature more brekaup bops? On the other side of the love spectrum, Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bongiovi are engaged. Kim Kardashian will be taking on a non-reality role in the upcoming 12th season of American Horror Story. Meanwhile, her sister Kylie Jenner is sparking romance rumors with Timothee Chalamet. A fifth Shrek movie could be in the works with the OG voice cast. Vee went “Yikes!” to the mysterious stabbing death of the Cash App founder and to Nick Cannon’s delusions that Taylor Swift would want to father his 13th child.

Episode 260 | “Convenient Timing”
Apr 4 2023
Episode 260 | “Convenient Timing”
Si & Veronica aren’t going to be fooled for episode 260! Welcome to the off-season, comPODres! Mike Fleiss, aka the Bach Daddy aka Mr. Problematic at the helm of the franchise, has decided to leave the franchise… except it isn’t all sunshine and roses. He does so amid allegations of racial discrimination, which is not a surprise to anyone who has been following the franchise for the last 5 years at minimum. Will we see a fresh, new Bachelor/Bachelorette franchise in his wake? Or will old fans rebuke new changes? Reality shows must run in the Glaze family because Marshall Glaze from season 4 of Love Is Blind is cousins with Justin Glaze from Katie Thurston’s Bachelorette season and last summer’s BIP. Only time will tell which one of them has the better facial expressions.  (Bachelor talk ends at time marker 33m:52s) Gwyneth Paltrow won her George Washinton in the ski crash trial. Justin Bieber might have to say sorry to his fans again amid retirement rumors. His ex, Selena Gomez, might be dating Gigi Hadid’s ex, Zayn Malik. Kelsea Ballerini made one of country music’s biggest stages a place to celebrate drag queens and honor the victims of gun violence. We may still have to save Britney yet… she has been seen without her husband or wedding ring and with a new mystery man. Vee went “Yikes!” to a sloppy Emrata and Harry Styles smooch that may have angered Emrata’s pal, Olivia Wilde. Join us for what is always a good time and leave us a rating and review for a shoutout!

Episode 259 | “Waiting for the But”
Mar 28 2023
Episode 259 | “Waiting for the But”
Si & Veronica are feeling tired for episode 259! The Bachelor semi-surprised us with a THREE HOUR-LONG finale that had a Kardashians commercial and an unnecessary interview with Sean and Catherine Lowe. Jesse came to us live with a studio audience and kicked us off before we continued Zach’s Thailand journey with Ariel’s absolute poise and perfect articulation of her feelings at the end of the show and how Zach took away the coupledom and agency with how he handled Fantasy Suites. The ladies get to meet Zach’s family and get to tiptoe around the awkwardness of what happened with “Sex Week”. Kaity and Zach’s dad bonded over their own daddy issues and Gabi learned more about Zach’s sick baby past. Kaity’s final one-on-one date goes swimmingly, meanwhile Gabi’s leaves her with nonanswers that are really the answer she doesn’t want to hear. Gabi predicts her own end and stopped Zach from saying more canned break-up lines. Kaity and Zach seem happy together and are planning on moving in together in the summer! We get a sneak preview of Charity’s season, coming June 26 at a new later time, and her brother is going to go undercover to learn about these men.  (Bachelor talk ends at time marker 51m:22s) Hailey Bieber and Selena Gomez are trying to stop the hate flowing in from their stans against the other. Natalie and Deepti from season 2 of Love Is Blind started their own recap podcast. Goop is on her second week of trial for the skiing lawsuit that is being memed everywhere. Sammi Sweetheart is returning to the shore after 10 long years. Gisele might be back in the dating game… and someone in a higher tax bracket. Vee went “Yikes!” to the Nashville tragedy (and how Bachelor handled it) and to Jonathan Majors being arrested for allegedly assaulting a woman (who might be his girlfriend).

Episode 258 | “Sex Week”
Mar 22 2023
Episode 258 | “Sex Week”
Si & Veronica are feeling the good vibrations for episode 258! It’s week 9 aka Sex Week but actually no sex week according to Zach’s very silly declaration. Even absentee host Jesse thought it was a bad idea and ended up being right… Ariel, aka the sexiest contestant, gets her date first to eat bugs and makeout at the market and takes Zach’s “no sex” rule like a g when it comes to the overnight portion. Meanwhile, Gabi is already spiraling, which leads to a “always second” spiral on her private island/pirate ship date. Gabi really leaves it all on the field when she says she is falling for Zach, just for him to drop the bomb of his rule… and for them to break it. Because Zach is so worried about doing everything “right” he makes the poor decision to tell Gabi that he has to tell their sex story to Kaity and then ambushes Kaity mid date about what happened when she is a grown adult and could’ve been okay with assuming the potential sex and not being confronted with it. Kaity sticks around because she knows she’s his number one and Ariel gets sent home and has the most poised and graceful exit. There are a couple US Bachelor Nation faves joining our northern neighbors in the Canadian BIP. Charity’s potential cast has been leaked and she has quite the range of men looking for her love.  (Bachelor talk ends at time marker 54m:22s) Selena Gomez stays winning as she becomes the first woman to reach 400 million followers on Instagram! Take that Kylie; anything for Selenas! If you remember Good Burger  from 25 years ago, get excited because Kenan and Kel are bringing us Good Burger 2. Throwback to some of our OG Future Bachelor episodes, but we finally get closure on XXXtentacion’s killers. Vee gave a sad “Yikes!” to Amanda Bynes being put on psychiatric hold after being found wandering the streets of LA naked.

Episode 257 | “By the Book”
Mar 15 2023
Episode 257 | “By the Book”
Si & Veronica are sipping the syrup for episode 257! We get a double stacked week with Hometowns and Women Tell All. We got to see Zach go to Vermont with Gabi, Austin with Kaity, Georgia with Charity, and NYC with Ariel. Three out of the four women have some protective brothers, with Ariel’s brother taking the cake by asking Zach why Ariel should choose him. Kaity seems like the front runner especially after how easy it was to get Zach to do her chores for her. She gets the greenlight from her mom to continue their relationship and joins Charity in the club of telling him that she is falling in love. That didn’t save Charity as she was eliminated… but she will be our next bachelorette. Zach has many non-answers for the ladies when in the hot seat for the Women Tell All, but we finally see the Bachelor franchise taking accountability for its race issues by bringing in Dr. Kira Banks from St. Louis University and talking about microaggressions. From the previews, it looks like Zach isn’t going to keep his “no sex” promise for fantasy suites… In other Bach news, Ivan Hall proposed to his girlfriend AND bought her a new Tesla.  (Bachelor talk ends at time marker 1h:03m:31s) This past week was the Oscars and Everything Everywhere All At Once were the big winners with seven awards, including most of the actor/actress categories and best picture. Lindsay Lohan is next up for our early aughts party queens getting pregnant. Time to get over season 3 of Love is Blind, because we have the singles of Seattle and season 4 right around the corner. Vee went “Yikes!” to Rachel Bilson pretty much admitting that her longtime ex and father of her child, Hayden Christensen, could never make her… ahem… finish.

Episode 256 | “Flabbergasted”
Mar 8 2023
Episode 256 | “Flabbergasted”
Si & Veronica are feeling 100% confident for episode 256! Week 7 was a big week for Zach and his ladies and included lots of Hungarian bath houses. Greer gets shipped from Estonia post-quarantine to just get dumped in a hotel room. Kaity secured the first hometown date rose and seemingly the front-runner spot after revealing more about her daddy issues on her second one-on-one. The group date is a mindfuck for all the girls as a mentalista reads their minds and reveals some unsavory thoughts. Brooklyn gets a second one-on-one that is mostly Zach realizing he isn’t all in on her and can’t meet her sweet grandpa. Kat spiraled more this week and it causes Zach to lose confidence in their connection and send her home. Hannah Brown is becoming the reality show winning darling after winning Special Forces.  (Bachelor talk ends at time marker 51m:32s) The Hailey/Justin Bieber vs. Selena Gomez drama continues as many think JBiebs bday party favor referenced how he was happy to not be with Selena… but also that Hailey was a second choice. Avril Lavigne and Tyga made it official at Paris Fashion Week. Is that the new IG official if you’re a celeb? Two new reality shows are coming down the line. One will feature identical twins being split up to find love and the other has a star studded cast of reality villains competing for money. Vee (and every Bravo fan) went “Yikes!” to what is now known as the “Scandoval” with Tom Sandoval and Raquel/Rachel having a months long affair under Tom’s longtime gf, Ariana’s, nose.

Episode 255 | “Straight Shooter”
Mar 1 2023
Episode 255 | “Straight Shooter”
Si & Veronica are lacing up their shoes for episode 255! The Bachelor and his ladies are in Estonia this week looking for love. Charity gets a one-on-one redux complete with horse and carriage, weird wife carrying competitions, and dumping some of her relationship trauma. But before all of that, Kat set the tone by stealing a smooch moments before Zach took Charity on her date. Brooklyn makes it clear that what Kat did was classless but Kat can’t see past her perfect button nose. They try to all get rid of the bad vibes on their witchy group date, but Jess’s paranoia about a one-on-one gets the best of her and half sends herself home/half gets sent home. We here at Future Bachelor are #TeamAriel and she proves it even more with her honest and fun approach to her one-on-one at the Estonian sauna. Will the Kat and Brooklyn drama explode next week? Kaitlyn Bristowe thinks that Zach’s covid b-roll was filmed at a different time back in LA. MadiPrew and Grant Trizzy Troutt explained that purity contracts helped them be held accountable before their marriage.  (Bachelor talk ends at time marker 41m:24s) Keke Palmer is now a boy mom! The SAG awards were this past week and there were big wins for Abbott Elementary, White Lotus, and more. Jenna Ortega and Aubrey Plaza twinned with their deadpan stares whilst presenting. Rebel Wilson is engaged to Ramona Agruma and they are definitely going to go full Disney adult for their wedding. Vee went “Yikes!” to the grown adult women participating in mean girl drama. Hailey Bieber and Selena Gomez seemingly haven’t squashed their beef and now Kylie is teaming up with Hailey. Join us for what is always a good time and leave us a rating and review for a shoutout!

Episode 254 | “Dumped Over Zoom”
Feb 22 2023
Episode 254 | “Dumped Over Zoom”
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 to make his life as fun and active as they can for him. RIP to Richard Belzer of SVU fame. His pal Ice T mourned him just days after getting his Hollywood Walk of Fame Star. New couples alert! Kendall Jenner may have snagged Bad Bunny and the internet is up in arms. And Avril Lavigne was seen with Tyga in the midst of her engagement to Mod Sun ending. Vee went “Yikes!” to Tiger Woods’ distasteful tampon prank. Join us for what is always a good time and leave us a rating and review for a shoutout! Follow us @thefuturebachelor on Instagram!

Episode 253 | “Slaying the Villain”
Feb 15 2023
Episode 253 | “Slaying the Villain”
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.  (Bachelor talk ends at time marker 53m:21s) Lebron James is the King for real now as he secured his spot as the top scorer in the NBA this past week. Our Queen Rihanna performed a whole halftime show while several months pregnant with her second child. One of the commercials during the big game announced the newest collab with McDonalds and it is rap couple Offset and Cardi B. Megan Fox and MGK are looking like they are no longer together after a cryptic IG post including some Lemonade lyrics. Vee went “Yikes!” to Bachelor Nation’s own Nick Viall claiming there hasn’t been a good Bachelor since him. Join us for what is always a good time and leave us a rating and review for a shoutout!

Episode 252 | “Brainstorm”
Feb 8 2023
Episode 252 | “Brainstorm”
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 joining the Bachelor has-beens podcast club.  (Bachelor talk ends at time marker 46m:14s) Beyonce and the Beyhive are hoping Ticketmaster doesn’t set a bad tone for her world tour. Beyonce also broke records with her new grammys, totaling her to over 30! Harry Styles beat her out for album of the year, but his pal Lizzo got record of the year. Kim Petras got to be the first openly trans artist to accept a Grammy. Vee went “Yikes!” to Leonardo DiCaprio supposedly dating a woman nearly 30 years his junior… the same age as the actress playing Pedro Pascal’s “daughter in Last of Us.

Episode 251 | “Bad Bitches”
Feb 1 2023
Episode 251 | “Bad Bitches”
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 Troutt are on their purity culture BS still with some podcast clips going viral.  (Bachelor talk ends at time marker 38m:09s) The Jonas Brothers announced their new (very uncreative in title) album at their Walk of Fame ceremony. Along with that coming in May, we will also have Fast X hitting theaters. Celebs are in the business of making babies with Paris Hilton welcoming her first via surrogate and Meghan Trainor announcing her second on the Today Show.

Episode 250 | “Can I Kiss You?”

Episode 250 | “Can I Kiss You?”
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) Netflix is taking a page out of Are You The One? and Bachelor in Paradise’s books for a new show premiering on Valentine’s Day called Perfect Match. Selena Gomez says she’s still single after being seen on a couple of dates with The Chainsmokers’ Drew Taggart. Kylie Jenner finally revealed the name of her son and it is Aire Webster. We have a pop punk great ending with Panic! At the Disco and another being revived with Fall Out Boy’s first single since 2018 and a new album on the way. Vee went “Yikes!” to all the controversy surrounding Beyonce performing her “queer-inspired” album in Dubai, where same-sex relationships are illegal.

Episode 249 | “Best Pal”
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 scene, Lisa Mari Presley and Jeff Beck. Miley Cyrus’s lead single from her upcoming album is out and full of easter eggs. It is even our slapper this week with how it flips Future Bachelor fave, Bruno Mars, song on its head. Was it really filmed in the house her ex-husband Liam Hemsworth supposedly used to cheat on her? Only time will tell. Childish Gambino may make his return to the music scene after Donald Glover commented that we haven’t seen the last of his musical alter ego. Now will Rihanna drop new music before or after that happens? Vee went “Yikes!” to Ye supposedly being remarried to a Yeezy architectural designer, Bianca Censori. Is it even a legal marriage?

Episode 248 | “Up My Alley”

Episode 248 | “Up My Alley”
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 Vulture Viall… I mean Nick Viall… didn’t take it.  (Bachelor talk ends at time marker 30m:44s) With a match made in ‘90s heaven, Matthew Lawerence from Boy Meets World is dating TLC’s Chili. Miley Cyrus is going down the petty route by releasing the lead single from her new album on her ex Liam Hemsworth’s bday. Noah Schnapp came out as gay on the internet this past week and connected the dots between reality and his Stranger Things character. Travis Scott and Kylie Jenner are done… again. But will it be for good? Vee went “Yikes!” to fans getting hin Bad Bunny’s face and also to him throwing their phone in the ocean.
