    Ivy Insights

    The Here To Make Friends - A Bachelor Recap Show podcast is a must-listen for fans of the Bachelor franchise. With insightful analysis and witty commentary, hosts Claire Fallon and Emma Gray provide a fresh perspective on each episode. Their discussions are always thought-provoking and often challenge the patriarchal norms that are prevalent on the show. The best aspect of this podcast is the chemistry between Claire and Emma. Their dynamic is engaging and their banter adds an extra layer of fun to the recaps. Additionally, they frequently have great guests who offer alternative viewpoints and enhance the discussions.

    However, there are some aspects of the podcast that could be improved upon. Some listeners have expressed dissatisfaction with certain guest appearances, particularly when they bring a negative or overly critical tone to the recaps. This can sometimes detract from the overall enjoyment of the episode, especially when it deviates from the usually wholesome and positive vibe of the podcast. Additionally, there is mixed feedback about having guests in general, with some listeners feeling that Claire and Emma are at their best when it's just the two of them sharing their unique viewpoints.

    In conclusion, The Here To Make Friends - A Bachelor Recap Show podcast remains one of the best recap podcasts for fans of the Bachelor franchise. With its smart analysis, witty hosts, and occasional thought-provoking discussions, it provides an enjoyable listening experience. While there may be room for improvement in terms of guest selection and balance between hosts, overall it continues to deliver entertaining content that keeps listeners engaged week after week.

    A hot new bombshell has entered the villa: Love To See It!!! This is our first time ever covering “Love Island USA,” and the show welcomed us in with the most unhinged choreographed lip sync we could have dreamed of. In the first two episodes of season 7, Ariana Madix introduces us to the 10 original islanders (and two sexy bombshells), and they begin to form connections. They swap spit, bond over “The Alchemist,” become prematurely possessive, and hide important information from each other – all the important components of building long-lasting relationships.

    ‘Sneaky Links' Makes You Ask: ‘Are Men OK?'

    Before we begin our coverage of “Love Island USA” – we did a little cast preview during this episode (!!!) – we had to discuss Netflix's latest addition to the reality romance space: “Sneaky Links: Dating After Dark.” Hosted by Chloe Veitch, the show follows pairs of people who were once each other's “sneaky links” (a.k.a. situationships), and challenges them to explore those relationships for real – or just date another hottie who has checked into their shared motel. There's a lot about the show that doesn't really work. The structure is murky, the casting is meh, and the goals are confused. However, one thing that it does make clear is that the men are NOT alright.

    FWAW S3 Finale: The Farmers Choose Chaos

    It may have taken “Farmer Wants A Wife” a few years to warm up, but after watching the end of season 3 we are ready to declare that this show scratches the itch that old seasons “The Bachelor” once did. In the two-part finale, Farmers Jay, Colton, John and Matt meet some families and then make their final decisions. There are some genuine surprises! And genuine drama! And genuinely romantic moments, despite the fact that there is an overarching dark-sidedness to it the whole enterprise! And throughout it all, Kimberly Williams-Paisley's outfits get increasingly deranged. Thank you for your service, farmers and prospective wives/farmhands. We truly love to see it.

    The ‘Love Island' Guide To Modern Dating w/ Rebecca Jennings

    NYMag Features Writer Rebecca Jennings joins the pod to discuss her new book, “Be The Bombshell: What Love Island Teaches Us About Dating.” We dig into how “Love Island” reflects the hellscape of modern courtship and simultaneously offers an antidote to our app-forward dating culture. (Our main takeaway? Girl, leave your house.)  We also discuss how the show reflects our increasing political polarization, plays into the growing tendency to perform our relationships for external approval, and releases everyone from the tyranny of “the right reasons.” To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.
