Welcome to Episode 6 of A Beautiful Podcast to Fall in Love, TV Guide's unofficial Bachelor Nation podcast. This week, former The Bachelor and Bachelor in Paradise cast member Jacqueline Trumbull and TV Guide associate editor Liam Mathews break down Episode 5 of Colton Underwood's season.

This week, Jacqueline and Liam talk about one of the show's biggest problems: the way that every conflict, whether emotional or interpersonal, gets presented the exact same way every season. Not only have we seen all these dates before, we've also seen Elyse's breakup and Onyeka and Nicole's fight before. The show does broad types and no nuance, and Jacqueline is tired of it. They also talk about their first kisses, solve the mystery of Kirpa's chin bandage and play a Super Bowl-inspired game of Bachelor Sports Trivia.

Welcome to Episode 5 of A Beautiful Podcast to Fall in Love, TV Guide's unofficial Bachelor Nation podcast. This week, former The Bachelor and Bachelor in Paradise cast member Jacqueline Trumbull and TV Guide associate editor Liam Mathews break down Episode 4 of Colton Underwood's season.

This week Jacqueline and Liam talk about Caelynn's incredibly brave decision to come forward as a survivor of sexual assault and the significance of seeing a conversation like that on a show like The Bachelor; the merciful end of the beauty queen beef; Demi's continued excellence at using her screen time and how she's actually very mature; and speculate on who will get the season's 2-on-1 date now that Demi's nemeses are gone.

Welcome to Episode 4 of A Beautiful Podcast to Fall in Love, TV Guide's unofficial Bachelor Nation podcast.

This week, former The Bachelor and Bachelor in Paradise cast member Jacqueline Trumbull and TV Guide associate editor Liam Mathews break down Episode 3 of Colton Underwood's season.

Topics discussed include Demi putting the show on her unhinged back, pretending to be excited about a country singer you've never heard of, the unsatisfying nature of the Hannah B./ Caelynn pageant drama, the general gimmicking of how all the contestants have been presented so far and Colton's seeming inability to enjoy himself. Plus Jacqueline gives some insight into the wardrobe budget for the average contestant.

'The Bachelor' Season 23, Episode 2 Recap Jan 15, 2019

Welcome to Episode 3 of A Beautiful Podcast to Fall in Love, TV Guide's unofficial Bachelor Nation podcast. This week, former The Bachelor and Bachelor in Paradise cast member Jacqueline Trumbull and TV Guide associate editor Liam Mathews break down Episode 2 of Colton Underwood's season.

First we discuss include Arie Luyendyk Jr. and Lauren Burnham's Hawaiian wedding, which Jacqueline attended. If you've ever wanted to know more about The Bachelor's lesser-known executive producer Bennett Graebner, this episode is for you. We also get pretty in-depth about the entrees.

Then we talk about the episode. Topics include getting sent home on your birthday (it happens more often than you'd expect); Colton's commendable ability to be articulate about his emotions; that excruciatingly awkward 1-on-1 with Hannah B.; Demi's immature but calculated behavior; and where Never Been Kissed Heather goes from here (she gets her first kiss on a 1-on-1, then she gets eliminated).

Welcome to Episode 2 of A Beautiful Podcast to Fall in Love, TV Guide's unofficial Bachelor Nation podcast. This week, former The Bachelor and Bachelor in Paradise cast member Jacqueline Trumbull and TV Guide associate editor Liam Mathews break down Colton Underwood's season premiere.

Topics discussed include Jacqueline's observations about why Night One is the least honest night; our favorite competitor so far (Nicole); the show's tribute to Chris Harrison on his 17th anniversary as Bachelor host, which was weird but nice (and obviously a way to fill time on an episode that shouldn't have been three hours); why the episode may not have shown if fake Australian Bri kept her accent for the whole night and what she might be going through today as the premiere's biggest meme; Catherine's obvious lack of connection with Colton and willingness to do anything for airtime; our picks for the final four, and much more.
