'The Bachelorette' Season 15 Episode 2 Recap May 21, 2019

Show notes

Welcome to Episode 16 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 associate editor Liam Mathews dissect Episode 2 of Hannah Brown's season of The Bachelorette.

Topics discussed include what good dudes most of these dudes seem to be, especially Jed, and with the exception of Cam and Luke P., who seem bad. Luke is telling her everything he wants to hear, and Cam is an annoying guy who's working very closely with producers and has a smug face. And then there are 10 minutes of Game of Thrones finale talk.

'The Bachelorette' Season 15 Premiere Recap May 14, 2019

Show notes

Welcome to Episode 15 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 associate editor Liam Mathews dissect the premiere of Hannah Brown's season of The Bachelorette.

Topics discussed include the tight, zippy pace of the episode (very positive!); concerns about the first impression rose recipient, Luke P., who seems like the kind of guy to have some barely-controlled anger issues; first night one-and-done breakout stars Matt Donald and Joe the Box King, who were both positioned to be the next Grocery Store Joe but only one of whom will be; likable cuties Connor J. and Peter the Pilot; and some JUICY behind-the-scenes gossip about Nick Viall lookalike Luke S. (jk, it's not that juicy, but it's pretty funny).

'The Bachelorette' Season 15 Preview May 07, 2019

Show notes

Welcome to Episode 14 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 associate editor Liam Mathews preview Hannah Brown's season of The Bachelorette.

In this episode, Jacqueline and Liam critique the photos of Hannah's guys, and that's about it ... because ABC hadn't released full bios when this was recorded. So prepare yourself for some very close reading of what Apple Watches signify. The hosts also play a "Guess That Bachelorette" game, ponder whether or not the show will be noticeably different without former co-showrunner Elan Gale at the helm, and make some predictions about what will happen this season. (Hannah will definitely get engaged, and the guys will be very fratty.)

'The Bachelor' Season 23 Finale Recap Part 2 Mar 13, 2019

Show notes

Welcome to Episode 13 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 associate editor Liam Mathews break down Part 2 of the finale of Colton Underwood's season.

In this episode, Jacqueline tries to balance her appreciation for Colton's sweet earnestness with her relentless urge to make fun of him. She and Liam talk about the most dramatic season finale of any show in the history of television, from Cassie and Colton's surprisingly easy reconciliation to heartwarming first public appearance together on After the Final Rose. They discuss what may have changed in Cassie to make her certain that she wanted to be with Colton, how much they enjoy it when the show acknowledges that producers are part of the process, and share their early concerns about Hannah B.'s season of The Bachelorette.

'The Bachelor' Season 23 Finale Recap Part 1 Mar 12, 2019

Show notes

Welcome to Episode 12 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 associate editor Liam Mathews break down Part 1 of the finale of Colton Underwood's season.

Topics discussed include Colton's weird haircut; The Bachelor becoming so honest with its artifice that it's more willing than ever to show raw footage as well as emotion (executive producers Elan Gale and Bennett Graebner could be spotted in the background of this episode); Tayshia's kindness while Colton was breaking up with her; Hannah G. talking more than she has all season and saying emotionally honest stuff. She didn't put a happy face on getting unexpectedly dumped, you know? There's also even more Game of Thrones talk than usual.

'The Bachelor' Season 23, Women Tell All Recap Mar 06, 2019

Show notes

Welcome to Episode 11 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 associate editor Liam Mathews break down the Women Tell All episode of Colton Underwood's season.

Jacqueline and Liam discuss what a miserable slog the Women Tell All was. Everyone was auditioning for Bachelor in Paradise by being as loud and aggressive as possible, culminating in the awful moment where Courtney tried to stuff a pacifier into Demi's mouth, which was the low point of the season. But there were some bright spots, like Colton's cute new haircut, the ice cream infusion, and Hannah B.'s promising future as the lead of the upcoming season of The Bachelorette. They also discuss ways to improve the Women Tell All format and what women they're hoping to see in Paradise.

'The Bachelor' Season 23, Episode 9 Recap Mar 05, 2019

Show notes

Welcome to Episode 10 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 associate editor Liam Mathews break down Episode 9 of Colton Underwood's season.

This week is all about the fence jump heard 'round the world. Jacqueline and Liam discuss finally coming to care about Colton (where was this Colton all season? He's such a sweet guy!); why the pressure to get engaged at the end is a necessary part of making the show great and how Colton breaking that rule only proves it; why people shouldn't be mad at Cassie for dumping Colton, because she treated him with as much care as she could; and the greatness of the fence jump itself and the moments that followed. But most importantly, they talked about memes. It's all about the memes: https://www.tvguide.com/news/the-bachelor-fence-jump-reactions/

'The Bachelor' Season 23, Episode 8 Recap Feb 26, 2019

Show notes

Welcome to Episode 9 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 associate editor Liam Mathews break down Episode 8 of Colton Underwood's season.

In this episode, Jacqueline and Liam discuss the hometown dates, including Colton's fixation on getting the women's fathers' blessings, which ultimately didn't matter, and his possibly cynical, possibly meaningless move of telling multiple women he's falling in love with them; what Jacqueline would have done if she'd gotten a hometown date; and Hannah's horrendous rapping. They also play a hometown trivia game and try to get to the bottom of Tayshia's anachronistic Bird Box reference. (How could she have known about the Bird Box challenge six weeks before the movie was on Netflix, hmm?)

'The Bachelor' Season 23, Episode 7 Recap Feb 19, 2019

Show notes

Welcome to 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 associate editor Liam Mathews break down Episode 7 of Colton Underwood's season.

Topics discussed in this episode include whether or not Tayshia is a snitch (and what's the deal with Tayshia's ex-boyfriend); whether or not the show has footage of Cassie and Caelynn's much-disputed conversation about The Bachelorette; the complexity of Caelynn's character and the vagueness of Cassie's character; and what it probably means that Cassie has overtaken Hannah G. in the Instagram follower rankings. But mostly they talk about Colton's dad's weird shirt.
