The Rosecast | 'Bachelor' Recaps with Rim and AB

Latest Episodes:

Kaitlyn Bristowe's Season | 'The Greatest Seasons ⁠— Ever!' E2 Jun 17, 2020

Show notes

Kaitlyn's season ended with a beautiful engagement...though you'd never know it from this week's GOAT episode. We discuss the two-Bachelorette night one gimmick, Nick Viall's mid-season entry, the absence of Shawn Booth's proposal, and much more. Plus: Reaction to the huge BN announcement — Matt James is our next Bachelor.

(Stat corrections: Rim messed up a few items this week, chief among them the fact that there were two one-on-one dates between the time Nick received his first rose in New York City and when he had his first one-on-one date with Kaitlyn in Ireland.)

Sean Lowe's Season | 'The Greatest Seasons ⁠— Ever!' E1 Jun 10, 2020

Show notes

It's no wonder ABC led off their "Greatest Seasons — Ever!" with the only Bachelor season with a fairy tale ending that carried over into real life, Sean Lowe's. Season 17 condensed into three hours felt like a breath of fresh air after the stink Peter left in his wake. We discuss the highlights, the presentation format, and what we'd like to see from the rest of these episodes. Thanks for listening.

"I Don't Believe What I Just Saw" | 'Listen To Your Heart' S1 Finale May 20, 2020

Show notes

The adorable Bri and Chris were rock solid from the beginning—and their true love carried them all the way to a Listen To Your Heart victory. But! Rudi did not get to perform at the finale! In Nashville! Simply put, that is lunacy, and at recording time we were still not over it. Thanks for listening.

"Not Even Fair" | 'Listen To Your Heart' S1 E5 May 13, 2020

Show notes

Having conquered all every notable Hollywood venue, our remaining couples hit the road for Las Vegas, where each of them apparently felt obligated to tell their partner they were falling in love. Plus: Bachelor producers decided they couldn't hide it any longer and finally unleashed "Shallow"...and it did not disappoint.

"Un-Break His Heart" ft. Nikki Glaser | 'Listen To Your Heart' S1 E4 May 07, 2020

Show notes

Chris Harrison's surprising twist designed solely to bring Brandon and Julia together backfired almost immediately, leaving us with four fewer contestants heading into week five. We discuss the Savannah and Sheridan's grace in the face of absurdity, another round of great performances, if anyone other than Bri and Chris deserve to win, Toni Braxton, and more.

Plus: Comedian Nikki Glaser was kind enough join us later in the show to share her thoughts on LTYH so far, including Brandon and Julia's hastily handled breakups, Natascha's underhanded pre-show tactics, a serendipitous story about Kendall from Nick's season, and more.

"We Talkin' About Practice" | 'Listen To Your Heart' S1 E3 Apr 29, 2020

Show notes

This is what we've been waiting for. Performances in front of a live audience, credible judges (with questionable levels of responsibility), and a defined path for the rest of the season -- and the final couple. Don't look now, but Listen To Your Heart is actually good. Plus: Raw emotion regarding Kristin Cavallari and Jay Cutler's stunning breakup.

**MERCH ALERT** Non-medical face coverings are now available in our store (https://www.teepublic.com/stores/rim-and-ab/masks?ref_id=9558). For each one sold, TeePublic will donate one medical grade mask to Direct Relief, a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization equipping medical workers on the front lines with life-saving resources to care for the world's most vulnerable people during the pandemic.

Three dates gave us ample opportunity to evaluate the pipes on some of these singers, while romantic acquaintance triangles emerge and a classic outsider ambush takes center stage. (Bri and Chris if you're reading this we would love an invitation to your wedding thank you.)

"Chopless" ft. Kate Casey | 'Listen To Your Heart' S1 E1 Recap Apr 15, 2020

Show notes

Little different episode for a Bachelor show that's...definitely different. Comedian and author Kate Casey — host of the podcast Reality Life with Kate Casey — joins us to help break down the franchise's frequently uncomfortable foray into the world of music, Listen To Your Heart. Will any of these stage hopefuls emerge with a legitimate music career? Can heartthrob Ryan hang with the likes of John Mayer? Is Michael Todd serious?

"Post-Season Chaos" Apr 04, 2020

Show notes

"Fail To Succeed" | 'The Bachelor' S24 Finale Part 2 Recap Mar 12, 2020

Show notes

What began as a typical Bachelor love story quickly devolved into a syndicated daytime talk show complete with a spurned ex, familial strife, a bewildered host, and a raucous crowd. One thing is for certain: This finale will not be soon forgotten.
