After five years away from the 'Bachelor' universe, Arie Luyendyk Jr. returns to the mansion in search of his future wife. How rusty is his game, and which contestants stand out in what appears to be a great cast? Rim and AB break it down as only they can.

"An Ace Up Her Sleeve" | 'The Bachelorette' S8 Finale Recap Dec 21, 2017

Show notes

Emily's breakup with Arie was truly heartbreaking. But as she wept and he held back tears, Rim and AB wonder why he didn't see it coming. Plus: What has Emily been up to since breaking things off with Jef, this season's winner? (The way I wrote that sentence makes it seem as if Emily is our guest on this episode. She is not.) Also, Rim was apparently not speaking directly into the mic (rookie move smh) so he hereby apologizes for that. Thanks for listening.

"Fantasy Zzzzuites" | 'The Bachelorette' S8 E9 Recap Dec 14, 2017

Show notes

Mutual respect between mature adults outweighed what little drama was included in Emily's Fantasy Suites episode. Arie stood out with his reasonable approach to potentially becoming a step-father, while Sean struggled to spit out his "I love you" speech so late in the game.

"Game Over" | 'The Bachelorette' S8 E8 Recap (Hometowns) Dec 12, 2017

Show notes

The hometowns episodes of this franchise are traditionally some of the most exciting and revealing episodes of each season. This was not the case for Emily's final four. But! We'll still get some jokes off, and give credit where credit is due: Jef's heartfelt letter put him firmly in the lead of this competition.

"Doug's Bad Read" | 'The Bachelorette' S8 E7 Recap Dec 07, 2017

Show notes

No one has ever misread a situation more than Doug did while Emily was breaking up with him. It is among the most awkward moments in the history of this franchise. My arms are tightening even just thinking about it. But don't let Doug's cringeworthy moment distract you from the fact that Arie neglected to tell Emily about his previous relationship with one of the show's producers.

"They Were Offered No Snacks!" | 'The Bachelorette' S8 E6 Recap Dec 05, 2017

Show notes

Halfway through the season, Emily's patience is wearing thin. On two one-on-one dates, our lead refuses to award roses to both Friend Zone Travis and Ryan the trophy hunter. Will Arie, Jef, and Sean capitalize on their improved odds, or does John (?) have something up his sleeve?

"Yeah, Not Gonna Apologize" | 'The Bachelorette' S8 E5 Recap Nov 30, 2017

Show notes

Our biggest takeaways from this episode are 1) we need to get to London and 2) maybe don't besmirch the name of your potential future stepdaughter? Helicopter Kalon dug deep in the mud of the latter, and in the process got himself tossed off the show like a basketball coach who gets two quick technical fouls on purpose so he can make a dinner reservation. Also of note: Arie and Emily make out again.

"Doug's Not About To Get Bottle Service" | 'The Bachelorette' S8 E4 Recap Nov 28, 2017

Show notes

Mr. "I Have Kids Okay!?" himself Doug manages to secure a one-on-one date rose from Emily, while the A-team trips over themselves scrambling for her attention on a nautical group date. Plus: the most pointless two-on-one in show history and Ryan uses meaningless Southern one-liners the same way Obi-Wan Kenobi tricks storm troopers into letting his friends into the cantina at Mos Eisley.

"First Selfless, Then Cowardice" | 'The Bachelorette' S8 E3 Recap Nov 22, 2017

Show notes

Recall the most impressive fireworks show you've ever seen. Something similar happened at the conclusion of Arie and Emily's first one-on-one date on a carousel in Dollywood, a theme park dedicated to a country music megastar whose work we are unfamiliar with. Plus: Ryan, Kalon, and Allessandro jostle for position atop our Biggest Idiot power rankings.

"I'd Be Mad Too" | 'The Bachelorette' S8 E2 Recap Nov 16, 2017

Show notes

The second episode of Emily's season has less Arie, less Jef, and almost no Sean Lowe. Instead, we were treated to a one-on-one date of Emily basically running errands and some "back at the house" confrontation between a dude who is a dad and a different dude who is not a dad. Thrilling stuff.
