Resting Bach Face

Gwen has had a LOT of iced coffee today and her opinions about this week's loungewear will not be stopped! Get your quilted drink holder and join your hosts for their take on this week's shocking elimination!

Yes, we've been away! Holidays, train rides, "jobs," but now Dan and Gwen are here to chat about avant-garde tiger trash bags and labial puppy coats. Welcome back, Bach Face nation!

Your hosts discuss the baffling array of ice dance costumes on the runway this week and ask important questions like, why? And no, really, why? They also discuss why the Olympics are awesome and Dan, true to form, fidgets with a window crank while Gwen dreams of leading the Hufflepuff army.

The designers are challenged to design their own floral prints with . . . underwhelming results. Your intrepid hosts break it down while also battling the Monday office dangers of keyboards, ringing phones, and dubious sound equipment. However, nothing touches the dubiousness of Darren's fashion choices.

What haunts people? Ghosts. What do ghosts look like? See-through! We discuss the winning transparent looks & Dan dares to suggest that Gwen is not an edgy fashionista and likes dresses better suited to dating the Phantom of the Opera. #ProjectRunway

Gwen takes on her role as senior white lady correspondent and we learn that Dan is always rocking streetwear! Also, Gwen continues to flail when describing clothing and Dan messes with a fidget spinner (but is much, much better at describing clothes).

Do you wear clothes and know nothing about fashion? Would you *never* disrespect Christian Siriano in the workroom? Do you *always* use the accessories wall wisely? Then join Resting Bach Fact as we bid a temporary farewell to boom boom rooms to recap the new season of Project Runway!

In a very special episode, Dan and Gwen record their very first podcast in the same room! They discuss the season's winners and losers and confront the ultimate question: do we like Kenny now?!? Stay tuned, up next: Project Runway recaps!

Ivan gets caught talking to consenting adult women (gasp), Kenny is worried the passion is gone (GASP), and Aaron is totally fine making out with someone else the moment a rose is in his grasp (TRIPLE GASP). Join us, as we go to PROM, BABY!

Like lemmings over a cliff, it's time to fall (in love)! Our couples proclaim their affection and I proclaim that tacos should NEVER be eaten off of Kenny's chest.

We bid an enthusiastic farewell to Brendan and Pieper, condemn the combination of whipped cream and sand, and Gwen gives her final rose to Wells.

Dan does the hard work and breaks the Brendan/Piper/Natasha fiasco into 8 parts (no spoilers, we are #teamnatasha). Do we feel bad for Chris and Alana? Do we manage to get to the bazillion other story lines? Well, we do our best!

You want to buy Dan and Gwen with jewelry, you better come with the good stuff! Also, the Connor B. storyline is put out of it's misery, Demi is given the props she deserves, and Becca K. makes her return, impressing Dan not at all.

Look, IS Lance Bass famous? WHO CAN SAY!? Dan and Gwen debate the merits of banana boats, put respect on Tammy's game, and analyze the shenanigans of our favorite beach dwellers.

After a work-induced hiatus, Dan and Gwen are back! We talk about Connor B.'s NiceGuy guitar energy (boo!), discover that Gwen is #teamTahzjuan (yay!), and look forward to a season of shenanigans at the beach.

It's episode two and someone has broken the volume knob on Karl. Wrong reasons abound, Greg rides high on his one-one-one, and Gwen gets slap happy with her terrible accents!

Down to the final five chefs and the love in the room cannot be denied! Gwen and Dan ponder possible finale outcomes, question the producers of Top Chef: France, and Gwen finally loses her sweet mind.

Katie Thurston is here, Chris Harrison is not, and Bachelorette nation wants to know: if no one is there to count the roses, do they really exist? Cats, boxes, blow-up dolls, and a creepy RV are only a few highlights from #TheBachelorette season premier!

This week, the chefs tackle tofu tournament-style and the best part is, we get to visit a tofu factory! Dan takes a strong anti-radish stance and warns us of their dangers, Gwen celebrates her life as a banh mi enthusiast, and Juli has nimble hands.

The chefs write recipes for the home cook, making us ask, are home cooks way better than we thought? Are Gwen and Dan the only ones doomed to a life of Cooking for Idiots? At least we know never to get in the way of a good potato!

It's the episode you've been waiting for . . . Restaurant Wars! We chat great food, bad decisions, and Dan provides us with a food tidbit!

The chefs revisit cooking mistakes, we discuss our own culinary catastrophes, and Gwen's Food Minute makes a triumphant return!

It's a midseason reset! We rank the chefs and predict who will go all the way! Given how well Dan and I always do in our Top Chef fantasy league, take these assessments with a level of salt that Tom and Padma would find deeply offensive.

The chefs take on an incoherent drive-in movie challenge to very mixed results, Dan cruelly brings up the 1998 World Series, and Gwen wants everyone to know that moms don't need your damn salad!

Resting Bach Face isn't ready to say goodbye! Should these couples be together? Is Kendal still the worst (yes!)? Did your esteemed podcast hosts cry at the finale proposal? Yes! We are not made of stone!

The chefs face off over Campbell's soup, Dan feels strongly about outdoor cooking competitions, and Gwen expresses her warranted ambivalence toward pears!

“This game is evil in a very beautiful way,” says Maria, and Resting Bach Face is here for the excitement! Incredible Pan African cuisine, a Buckeye bite, and the first ever appearance of Gwen's Food Minute!

Helicopters or horses: which is more dangerous? Tom and Sophia: we don't stan but we may get it? Many questions, some answers, and the final BBQ right around the corner!

Aveshar and Shota are an iconic duo, chili relleno is hard for one host to say, and we pay homage to the greatest meal of the day, breakfast!

BETRAYAL! Tom weeps his way between hurt and rage, Kendal is what he is, and Dan gives Tula the highest award of all.

We talk all things Top Chef, from why we love the show to who we think will shine this season! Spoiler alert: Dan and Gwen love food.

Tom realizes that he didn't bring his girlfriend to Celibacy Island, Erica pulls the ultimate power move, and we'll never eat chicken again!

It's a somber episode of Temptation Island but we still find a chance to discuss how butt exfoliation leads to everlasting love and Dan finally confronts the Boxcar Children.

Erica wears an iconic hat, Gwen ponders the logistics of an under-the-covers threesome, and we all wish we were back eating breakfast in La Jolla!

Erica is the universally acclaimed bonfire boss, eagles swoop in for the smash kill, and Gwen adds horseback riding to the growing list of garbage activities!

Does Gwen enjoy snorkeling? Should USA Network hire Dan to sing their fake songs? Dan and Gwen recap episode 3 of Temptation Island!

Continue on the journey with Temptation Island, Dan, and Gwen! Is ziplining fun? Can we trust boats? What is the metanarrative at play today!

Welcome to the first episode of Resting Bach Face! In our dreams, this is the first podcast in a podcast recap dynasty! Temptation Island. Bachelor. Top Chef. Project Runway. We giggle. We opine! We . . . are your close friends, otherwise you would not be listening.
