Michelle has! Listen to Colin learn: What is The Bachelor? Why is it so much like the comedy series Burning Love? Is there a Bachelor extended universe? And listen to Colin's opinons on: competing with a crowd of unpaid extras for the love of a narcissist, having sex in the ocean, and how to pronounce "La Quinta".

Once upon a time, Michelle Colin hosted a salon with some of the great minds of Bachelor Nation. Then Colin had a hard time editing it. Now, finally, we present you with the first part of the 2020 Bachelorette season finale episode. Who will emerge as the winner of Bachelorette "Fuck, Marry, Kill"? Who was most bored during the overlong finale? Did Ben just show back up because he couldn't get a flight out of Palm Springs? What theological conundrums did Tayshia and Ivan get into in that hot metal trailer? Seriously, when is Zac going to admit he lives in New Jersey? LOST EPISODE!!
This is a lost tape from deep in the vault! This is Episode 11 of The Bachelorette from last season that didn't get released at the time due to editing issues (the issue being that Colin is bad at it). Enjoy this extra content we have owed you for a while. How heavy was that fake taxi? Is this hometown week what it feels like being on the set of a movie with no budget? Or is this like taking a walk through someone's covid dream version of their hometown? What happens to Brendan when the carnival leaves town? Were the hometowns planned by Michelle at summer camps? Does Ben belong to a reality TV nepotism network? What do you have to do to get a man to cry on national television? Does Colin know a lot about prison? (no)
Was this episode made in two pieces and stitched together through magic of podcasting? Will Colin survive his "man cold" diagnosis? Is The Bachelor America's #1 prank show? Is Rachael going to marry Matt James only to be immediately cancelled? Who is this Tyler person? Was that carnival operated by a single light switch? When will we get to watch Katie find love? Was that a frickin bison? Season 25 episode 6 of The Bachelor deepens our love affair with the pointlessness of love...
Has Colin forgotten how to do the intro? Where did Jeeves go when he stopped being your internet butler? Does anyone on The Bachelor have boundaries? Why does Matt have to be the principal at Bachelor High? Does Victoria completely lack a theory of mind for other human beings? Are there worse things in life than being called a ho? Is Raleigh in the back-country of North Carolina? How much did they spend on manure in this episode? Season 25 Episode 5 of The Bachelor has inspired our longest episode yet. You're welcome.
Is Anna redeemable? How did Colin's roast duck turn out? When does backbiting become slander? Have we figured Matt out? Are beauty queens the perfect talent pool for The Bachelor? Is Katie the only one who realizes that her parents could be watching her on TV? Where did Victoria learn how to threaten people? Did we witness an actual real-life first date? What does the word toxic mean in 2021? Should The Bachelor institute a "no snitching" policy? Are they ever going to let Colin and Michelle run ABC? The Bachelor season 25 episode 4 has all this and more
Have any of these women ever had to compete for a man's attention? Is Matt James just a piece of set dressing that came to life one day? Are any of these women good writers? Is Chris Harrison just on the show to plug his book? Will any of the women heed Katie's pleas to keep it classy? How will Victoria adjust to being a background villain? Who are the Kenny and Blake of this season? We really only answer the last question. Season 25 Episode 3 is intense!
Who is Clare Crawley and why has she been on four of these programs? Who is Dale and why are we in love with him? How many times can we say La Quinta? How much fun did the crew of The Bachelor have filming roadrunners? How many of these "contestants" are paid extras?
What is Victoria talking about? Is there lost footage of Marylynn being unreasonable? Was Matt and Bri's quad flip a stunt or a near-death experience? Do fancy resorts have woodland hot tubs? What is Victoria talking about? Will Colin be able to remember what season we're on ever? Are the bags under Victoria's eyes a bigger medical emergency than Sarah's fainting spell? Do Katie and Anna have access to the mental health resources they desperately need? What is Victoria talking about? Season 25 (Matt James), episode 2 of The Bachelor is full of the crazy we've come to love!
Is Matt ready for the tsunami of crazy about to land on him? Are they going to give Victoria have a moustache to twist? Is "queen" an occupation? Is there any reason not to just walk around in bra and underwear? Has Matt James ever had a carb? How hard would it be to drink alcohol after an all-nighter? Has Anna ever had emotion that didn't show on her face? Season 25 (or is it 26?) episode 1 of The Bachelor is sure to bemuse and maybe inspire?
When the men tell all, why they always talk like they got something to say (but nothing comes out when they move their lips—just a bunch of gibberish)? Does Colin choose episode titles completely arbitrarily? Did we need another dosef of Yosef? Did Bennett-bot 4000 time his crying binges? Are Blake and the Reiki lady gonna hook up? Did this week REALLY need two episodes?
Is The Bachelorette produced by English majors? Is there a code the contestants use to avoid piercing the reality? Is Colin aware that the mic is picking up the ice cubes clinking in his highball?

Have we narrowed Tayshia's turn-ons down to kisses and dark secrets? Which one is the sex idiot? How would you know that someone faked an orgasm with you? Is Jojo a licensed polygraph technician? Is Kenny's boy band's music on Itunes?
Could Colin pick any of the past Bachelorettes out of a line-up? Are we going to witness each of Tayshia's suitors reciting their AA stories? Did Bennett grow up buck-toothed? Which of the guys is the worst artist? Are haunted houses fun? Will anyone replace Kenny in Colin's heart? Seriously, how weird is Blake in bed? This episode has no answers.
Are all of Tayshia's friends people she met in the Bachelor-verse? Is this the episode of The Bachelorette where Michelle and Colin finally have feels? Is there anything more gross than bananas? Does Tayshia think men's orgasm sounds take a minute? What does drinking a scorpion have to do with love? Is Tayshia just going to choose the handsiest man? Do they have baby carrots and crackers during these six-hour cocktail parties? Is The Bachelorette just a prank show? Is Zac secretly interesting? Will they give Ed a spinoff? Could we possibly hate Noah more?
Are Michelle's vocal warm-ups paying off? Is Colin ever going to stop talking about his new blender? What IS a "grown-ass man"? Who is the most unlikeable in an episode full of unlikeable behaviour? Can we handle any more rose fakeouts? Are the producers hiding all the scenes with chemistry to mess with us? When is Chasen going to be gone? Is Kenny ever going to tell us what it's like to manage a boy band? Is Ed ever going to move his face? Is Noah getting instructions on how to be the worst from a hidden earpiece? IS there anything worse than a blond moustache? Are women just waiting for men to oil wrestle for their love? No promises that you'll get the answers, but we'll ask the questions.
