Episode 59 The Bachelor: The Emotional Rollercoaster on this Righteous Endeavor (Season 16, Week 10) Dec 17, 2020

Show notes

It’s hometown time! Well, as hometown-y as we can be in the middle of a global pandemic.

We see Brendan, Tayshia and Brendan’s niece hit a cute little carnival. We get to meet his brother and sister in law.

Zac and Tayshia “go to” New York City. Tayshia sits down with Zac’s parents and Zac’s older brother. Zac’s brother gets to some serious questions QUICK.

Ivan and Tayshia do some Filipino cooking, and later we get to meet Ivan’s brother! He’s talked so much about him through this season! Seeing a formerly incarcerated person with face and neck tattoos on our TV screens was AMAZING and relatable.

We also see Ben and Tayshia “go to” the Venice Beach, CA Boardwalk. Tayshia gets to meet Ben’s sister, who he says, saved his life.

It’s also the Men Tell All, full of bickering and pettiness.

This week we saw Tayshia go ghost hunting on the La Quinta Resort property on a date. They talk about how the original owner of the resort, Walter Morgan died on the property.

Today, Megan tells the story of a William Morgan who mysteriously disappeared in the 1800s, likely at the hands of some local Masonic groups. Megan gives some background on freemasonry as a whole, and we dive into some of the conspiracy theories that always seem to surround the group.

Episode 55 The Bachelor: Were These Men Even on Clare’s Season??? (Bachelorette Season 16, Week 8) Dec 03, 2020

Show notes

These men are really starting to open up, and we love it. This week Tayshia had a 1-on-1 date with Zac C. Zac C shares his story of previously being married, discovering a brain tumor, developing a drug addiction, and his recovery! (Content Warning: discussion of addiction)

There’s a group date where the guys have to make a couple of different art projects, a lot of the guys get really vulnerable and we love to see it. We also get a deeply personal story from Ben who shares his battle with bulimia. (Content Warning: discussion of eating disorders)

Tayshia also goes ghost hunting with Eazy. Because of his current sexual assault allegations (that production is aware of), Megan gives some statistics on sexual assault in the US, and decided to recap the rest of the date calling him "That Guy". She had to recap the date to creep out Danielle - you know Danielle hates the ghosty whoasties! (Content Warning: discussion of rape and sexual assault)

We also get some ridiculously unnecessary drama with Bennett and Noah that we both could have gone without. Send them both home!

Episode 54 True Crime: The 2016 Spalding Shooting (Murder of Claire and Charlotte Hart) Nov 30, 2020

Show notes

This week we saw the BEST episode of the Bachelor Nation franchise (according to us). During the conversation between Ivan Hall and Tayshia, Ivan discusses his brother’s incarceration and how it affected his family. Often, the family members of offenders are looked over and not recognized as survivors.

Danielle tells the story of the 2016 Spalding Shooting. Claire and her children (Charlotte, Ryan, and Luke) spent years being tortured by their father, Lance, in a house of horror. Lance had planned to kill his wife and daughter for weeks. Claire and Charlotte finally escaped and fled the home, only to be gunned down by Lance who then turned the gun on himself. Ryan and Luke took action after their father was given excuses, by family and the media, for his actions. Ryan and Luke made it their mission to bring light to the events that led up to the shooting and posthumously hold their father accountable for what he did.

Episode 53 The Bachelor: Black Lives Matter (Season 16, Week 7) Nov 25, 2020

Show notes

This week on the group date the men to write songs for Tayshia, and Ivan won (Bennett did a rap, we hated it)! So, we get to see a lot of one on one time with Tayshia and Ivan, and we are here for ALL *clap* OF *clap* IT *clap*. We see them together on a “normal” date at home. Ivan also talks about his brother who was previously incarcerated. The two talk about George Floyd, Black Lives Matter and about being biracial. It’s so impactful and feels like a genuine conversation. Representation still matters. Black Lives still Matter.

This week’s POC highlight goes to Jordan C (AKA Shemar Moore), who is the Software Account Executive from New York. We also highlight POC guest star, Sydney Lotuaco from Season 23 of the Bachelor (Colton Underwood) and Bachelor in Paradise.

Lastly, we see the departure of one of our favorite contestants, Doctor Joe. We will miss you dearly Doctor Joe and if we don’t get to see you on a beach, we WILL riot at dawn!

Episode 52 True Crime: The Murders of Janet Jordon, Philip Howard & Derin (aka Dezzy) and The Murders of Nancy and Daniel Benoit Nov 23, 2020

Show notes

This week we saw Chasen Nick call himself Wolverine. We are convinced no one calls him that but his damn self (*insert eye roll*). Danielle covers the UK Wolverine Murders. Jed Allen had a traumatic upbringing with his drug-addicted mother Janet. Nothing could prepare the world for what Jed was capable of and would do on May 23, 2015. Content Warning: child murder and suicide. (Story starts at 5:00).

This week’s group date was a problematic wrestling match! Megan took a note from Danielle’s world and went down the professional wrestling rabbit hole and covered the double murder and suicide of Nancy, Daniel, and Chris Benoit. Content Warning: Domestic Violence, Child Victim, Suicide. (Story starts at 30:08).
