'The Bachelor' Season 24 Episode 7 Recap Feb 11, 2020

Show notes

Welcome to Episode 36 of A Beautiful Podcast to Fall in Love, TV Guide's unofficial Bachelor Nation show. This week, former The Bachelor and Bachelor in Paradise cast member Jacqueline Trumbull and TV Guide Reviews & Recommendations Editor Liam Mathews recap Episode 7 of Peter Weber's season of The Bachelor.

This week, Jacqueline and Liam would like you to draw your attention to the lovely fan account a listener made, @abeautifulpodcast. The way that this podcast is unofficial to The Bachelor, this Instagram account is unofficial to the podcast. That's called the chain of content. Topics discussed on the episode itself include potential Bachelorette candidates (what if it was Demi?), the appeal of Madi (the hosts don't really get it), the fall of Kelley (she's still cool, though), and much, much more.

'The Bachelor' Season 24 Episode 6 Recap Feb 06, 2020

Show notes

Welcome to Episode 35 of A Beautiful Podcast to Fall in Love, TV Guide's unofficial Bachelor Nation show. This week, former The Bachelor and Bachelor in Paradise cast member Jacqueline Trumbull and TV Guide Reviews & Recommendations Editor Liam Mathews recap Episode 6 of Peter Weber's season of The Bachelor.

Jacqueline and Liam have resigned themselves to the fact that Peter is a bad Bachelor, which frees them up to take the season for what it is: A case study in weak leadership. But hey, at least we're getting some entertainingly weird stuff like Peter's out-of-nowhere breakup with Victoria P., his desire to see Hannah Ann cry, and Tammy and Mykenna's final fight. Plus, Jacqueline has some really great behind-the-scenes insight about one of the show's drama-building techniques.

'The Bachelor' Season 24 Episode 5 Recap Feb 04, 2020

Show notes

Welcome to Episode 34 of A Beautiful Podcast to Fall in Love, TV Guide's unofficial Bachelor Nation show. This week, former The Bachelor and Bachelor in Paradise cast member Jacqueline Trumbull and TV Guide Reviews & Recommendations Editor Liam Mathews recap Episode 5 of Peter Weber's season of The Bachelor.

It's a pretty bleak week, as Jacqueline and Liam are disheartened by Peter's poor performance as the lead and lack of likability among the remaining women. The season is suffering from a serious lack of depth and a surfeit of bad attitudes. It's impossible to root for Victoria F., for her actions onscreen and off; the same goes for Sydney, who seems like a bully. The only woman who seems like a reasonable person is Kelley, and we're rooting for her to get off the show and live a normal life while she still can.

'The Bachelor' Season 24 Episode 4 Recap ft. Brett Vergara Jan 28, 2020

Show notes

Welcome to Episode 33 of A Beautiful Podcast to Fall in Love, TV Guide's unofficial Bachelor Nation show. This week, former The Bachelor and Bachelor in Paradise cast member Jacqueline Trumbull and TV Guide Reviews & Recommendations Editor Liam Mathews recap Episode 4 of Peter Weber's season of The Bachelor.

Jacqueline and Liam are joined by Bachelor meme extraordinaire Brett Vergara to recap this very dramatic episode. Topics discussed include Peter's weak leadership that's allowing the house to spin out of control (compare him to Hannah B., who shut that nonsense DOWN when her guys were out of line) and Alayah's strategically impeccable move to undermine Victoria P. and get back into the game. But mostly, this episode is about the incredible story of Victoria F. and Chase Rice, the musical guest with whom she has a history. (Though not much of a history, according to him). What a crazy thing.

'The Bachelor' Season 24 Episode 3 Recap Jan 21, 2020

Show notes

Welcome to Episode 32 of A Beautiful Podcast to Fall in Love, TV Guide's unofficial Bachelor Nation show. This week, former The Bachelor and Bachelor in Paradise cast member Jacqueline Trumbull and TV Guide Reviews & Recommendations Editor Liam Mathews recap Episode 3 of Peter Weber's season of The Bachelor.

This week, Jacqueline and Liam discuss which mispronunciation was funnier, "finasco" or "lingery" (spoiler alert: it's "lingery"), as well as several other much less important subjects. In the Alayah vs. Sydney feud, no one wins, but Peter loses the most. Alayah may be fake, but Peter still thinks she's pretty. It's unclear if the other women think #ChampagneGate is funny, but they should, because it's ridiculous, and Jacqueline has a theory about why they're not laughing about it based on her on experiences with the producers. And Victoria P.'s real story of her painful upbringing being used in service of a Bachelor cliche was disappointing but expected.

This week, former The Bachelor and Bachelor in Paradise cast member Jacqueline Trumbull and TV Guide reviews & recommendations editor Liam Mathews recap Episode 2 of Peter Weber's season of The Bachelor.

This week, Jacqueline and Liam break down every angle of #ChampagneGate, the most significant Bachelor event of our time, from what Kelsey was thinking to how the producers may have orchestrated the moment to what might happen if other signature Bach elements had a "Champagne Crisis." Plus, a closer look at what's going on with Victoria F., the season's least-likable character so far, and an analysis of Peter's undeniable sex appeal.

Welcome to Episode 30 of A Beautiful Podcast to Fall in Love, TV Guide's unofficial Bachelor Nation show. This week, former The Bachelor and Bachelor in Paradise cast member Jacqueline Trumbull and TV Guide reviews & recommendations editor Liam Mathews recap the premiere of Peter Weber's season of The Bachelor.

Jacqueline and Liam are joined by TV Guide Senior Editor Sadie Gennis, who watched The Bachelor for the first time ever and gives her thoughts as a new visitor to Bachelor Nation. Spoiler alert: She gets why people like it! Plus, they review Peter's performance (high marks!), get to the bottom of what rubs people the wrong way about Hannah Ann (she seems like she's following a script!), and wade waist-deep into the controversy around Victoria F., who's already developing a reputation for drama, onscreen and off. And all that before they talk about Peter and Hannah B.'s emotional reunion. It's gonna be a good season!

Show notes

Welcome to Episode 29 of A Beautiful Podcast to Fall in Love, TV Guide's unofficial Bachelor Nation show. This week, former The Bachelor and Bachelor in Paradise cast member Jacqueline Trumbull and TV Guide reviews & recommendations editor Liam Mathews preview Peter Weber's season of The Bachelor.

Jacqueline and Liam dig deep into the cast bios, which are chockfull of hilarious details, such as: Alayah's favorite social network is Reddit; Lexi would rather die than be trapped in a room full of frogs; and Savannah used to have a cancer ribbon tattoo on her ribs, but had it removed before trying out for the Houston Texans cheerleading corps. Also, Liam thinks Katrina looks like the Peloton Wife, which is really neither here nor there. Then the hosts predict a final four, talk about what they're excited for this season (a Bachelor the girls are into!), and give a brief update on Jacqueline's love life.
