The Bachelor Masters

We're back on the air after a pretty long break that included some interesting political events that Co-host Craig tries to bring up. We then play our guess-the-intro-music game before settling in to talking about Jenn and her group of men. Hit the play button and join us!

That's right, if there's one thing we're sure of it's that Kelsey loves Joey. Oh, and Joey fears rejection, we know that too. Join us as break down the finale with some classic Bachelor PhD clips, takes, and banter! The Bachelor PhD is part of the Bridge Burner podcast collective.

People are mean to Maria a bit in the Women Tell All, and Co-host Caitlin and Co-host Iciar are mean to Co-host Craig a bit in the podcast. It wouldn't be the Bachelor PhD without some mean people problems! The Bachelor PhD is part of the Bridge Burner podcast collective.

We have a great podcast episode for you, one where we get into more arguments than usual. Our main point of contention is around Kelsey being told that she should "practice baby making" because "men like that." Who is on the right side of THAT? We also argue about Daisy being the top pick and for what reason Rachel went to the fantasy suite. The Bachelor PhD is part of the Bridge Burner podcast collective.

Co-host Craig tries to explain to Co-host Iciar why he is freaked out by the Christmas tree farm. Meanwhile, Co-host Iciar tries to explain to Co-host Craig why she is freaked out by Daisy. Well, maybe not fully freaked out, but there are still lots of red flags! We also talk about Maria. The Bachelor PhD is part of the Bridge Burner podcast collective.

In this episode we talk about Joey and his coldness, Joey and his hotness (see what we did there?), Daisy, Maria, and Kelsey A. Why wouldn't we? The Bachelor PhD is part of the Bridge Burner podcast collective.

Today Co-host Craig and Co-host Iciar carry the pod as Co-host Caitlin is away. They talk about whether Maria is a Manic Pixie Dream Girl trope, whether Joey is hot or cute (or both), and whether the women have jetlag. Join us by clicking the play button!The Bachelor PhD is part of the Bridge Burner podcast collective.

We start off by talking very briefly about the Daily Show, then jwe ump into reproduction. Does Joey want his own kids? Does the average male want their own kids? Is Joey just saying words to Lexi? After addressing these questions we talk about all of those dates. So many dates! The Bachelor PhD is part of the Bridge Burner podcast collective.

We start off by being grossed out by chicken nuggets and lobster rolls. Then we try to unravel Joey's cuteness as well as the bullying that is going on (Co-host Caitlin and Co-host Iciar have some theories). After that we talk about surfing and then the movie Lobster. The Bachelor PhD is part of the Bridge Burner podcast collective.

Co-host Craig brings up True Detective but has nowhere really to go with it. Meanwhile, Co-host Iciar ambushes Co-host Craig with some more hard-hitting relationship questions. It's just like last week, except it's this week! Hit the play button and join us! The Bachelor PhD is part of the Bridge Burner podcast collective.

We start by wondering why the Canadian flag was blurred out, offering up a number of different possibilities including producer racism. Then it's a string of Co-host Iciar and Co-host Caitlin ribbing Co-host Craig for his past dating habits. We even get to some fashion at the end!The Bachelor PhD is part of the Bridge Burner podcast collective.

We just know there are contradictions to weddings but we have trouble coming up with them. In addition to that, we actually... enjoyed the show? Gasp! That in itself is a contradiction. Hit the play button and join us as we nevertheless deconstruct the Golden Wedding and try to answer age-old questions. The Bachelor PhD is part of the Bridge Burner podcast collective.

It's the last episode of the Bachelor in Paradise season and we have a few arguments left in us. First we argue about Kat and whether she's back to being hinged. Then we argue about Kylee's insistence on being engaged and whether that's unhinged. Then we come together to debate whether Mari and Kenny actually got married on the beach. And more! The Bachelor PhD is part of the Bridge Burner podcast collective.

The end of the Golden Bachelor is upon us, but WAIT, there's a Golden Wedding coming up on January 4th that will probably keep us podcasting over the break. But as you know, Leslie loses and Theresa wins. They both do it in dramatic fashion, by which we mean, Leslie really lays her exit on thick! Hit the play button for that and all the rest! The Bachelor PhD is part of the Bridge Burner podcast collective.

We're in different time zones and Co-host Craig actually enjoyed the episode we're about to cover! So, there's lots going on. We talk about everyone's journey including, of course, Kat's journey. Hit the play button and join us! The Bachelor PhD is part of the Bridge Buner podcast collective.

Golden Bachelor gives us little to talk about, so we jump mostly into Bachelor in Paradise which finally gives us things to talk about besides Kat. But we do talk about Kat, too. Hit the play button and join us! The Bachelor PhD is part of the Bridge Burner podcast collective.

In this podcast episode, we speculate on Kat's dewy, shiny look, what really goes on in the bathroom, who Gerry is actually in love with, whether he knows what love is, and more on Kat. Hit the play button and join us! The Bachelor PhD is part of the Bridge Burner podcast collective.

Co-host Caitlin is back with us and together we dig into some stereotypes about men and women. Then we wonder why there are only three women chosen to go to hometowns, and how many might go on to the fantasy suites. After that we're back to talking about Kat in Bachelor in Paradise! The Bachelor PhD is part of the Bridge Burner podcast collective.

In this podcast episode Rob from Vanderpump Robs joins us once again. With him we discuss Kat, Theresa, Kat, Kathy, then more Kat. It's all in service of figuring out if Co-host Craig is indeed Team Kat. The Bachelor PhD is part of the Bridge Burner podcast collective.

Co-host Caitlin is away this week so we're joined by the venerable Rob from the Vanderpump Robs podcast. Together we discuss the big Theresa controversy as well as the big Kat and Brayden controversy. We try to be very careful doing this because Co-host Craig is scared about listener feedback! The Bachelor PhD is part of the Bridge Burner podcast collective.

In this episode Co-host Craig is confronted about his stance on the Bachelor shows and vows to be more positive. (Does he though?) Meanwhile we compare the Golden Bachelor's diner scene to a David Lynch movie, wonder why Hannah Brown is so famous, and talk about Sizzler. The Bachelor PhD is part of the Bridge Burner podcast collective.

It's the dawn of a new chapter in the history of the Bachelor Masters... ERR, we mean, the Bachelor PhD!

It's the last episode of the season and we have a lot for you to listen to. We of course talk about Joey and Datun and a few other things, but whoa, you won't want to miss the song that we play at the end!

We try out a new method of podcasting which is co-hosts rotating during the podcast! We also talk about the distaste most people seem to have with Xavier, what's up with Brayden, the past Bachelorettes appearance, and the Golden Bachelor. Hit the play button and join us!

We manage to talk in-depth about this epidote despite Co-host Craig being grumpy about the content. First we discuss Xavier and his hour-long exit, then we go on and on about Joey, then we finish with Dotun and his supposed front-runner status. Don't' worry, we didn't forget about the Fashion Roundup at the very end!

In this podcast episode we first talk about whether we should change the name of the podcast. Seriously! We then talk seriously about the hometown dates and whether Joey is a good guy, what's up with Aaron's family, Xavier and his perfect resume, and Dotum's cool family. Hit the play button and join us!

First we talk about Joey and whether he looks like Greg Grippo. Then we talk about Dotun and whether he is the front-runner. Then we talk about the weather, especially in NOLA. Stay cool out there!

In this podcast episode, we speculate on whether bungee jumping is trauma bonding (spoiler alert: it isn't), then talk a bit about OceanGate and the horrors that unfolded there. We then talk about Brayden for a while and whether he was coming back (spoiler alert: he was). What is Co-host Craig's pet peeve this week? Hit the play button to find out!

The co-hosts first argue about whether Mastodon is morally superior to Threads, then we argue about a socially conscience coffee chain, then we argue about whether men weaponize therapy, then we argue about the Frier mascot. It's a lot of fun, join us!

In this podcast episode we record with just Co-hosts Iciar and Craig because Co-host Caitlin is sick. This leads to a little bit of a shorter episode, a few more arguments, and a shorter description! Hit the play button and join us!

After talking a bunch about the contestants, we once again get into the Chris Harrison podcast and Chris' never-ending quest for validation. Then we conclude with our now-famous David Lynch Minute. Hit the play button and join us!

It's almost time for the Bachelorette and in anticipation of that great day we present to you our countdown episode to the new season. In this episode we talk a lot of about the Calebs/Kalebs and a little about the Chris Harrison podcast. Don't worry, there's plenty of banter, too!

We start off by talking about other podcasts and then Co-host Craig tries to defend himself against a negative review. After that we get into the meat of this final episode, discussing Ariel, Gaby, and Kaity's intersecting journeys and Zach's numerous and repetitive apologies. Hey, we even talk a little bit about Succession! The Bachelor Masters is part of the Bridge Burner podcast collective.

As we entered "sex week" (to use Zach's phrase) who would have known that the sex would be with Gabi and not with apparent front-runner Kaity. Now they're both neck-and-neck to the finish of all of this, with one having had sex and the other... knowing about it? It's really messy which leads to a really good episode. Who knew sex could produce good TV?? The Bachelor Masters is part of the Bridge Burner podcast collective.

We're bombarded by two episodes this week which includes the Women Tell All that a couple of our co-hosts may not have watched in its entirety. Not to be outdone, the hometown dates lack a certain... amount of content, too. But we make a good, and long, podcast episode out of it by bringing up gender roles and psychopathy and once again talking about Chris Harrison's podcast. And so much more! The Bachelor Masters is part of the Bridge Burner podcast collective.

We start off this podcast episode talking about Co-host Craig's lunch with Rob from the Vanderpump Robs podcast. This leads to some riffs about the big Vanderpump Rules cheating scandal. Does this relate to the Bachelor? A little bit, and possibly via the Chris Harrison podcast (blech!) that we once again revisit at the end. It's all here, hit the play button and join us! Check out Vanderpump Robs, the best podcast about Vanderpump Rules! The Bachelor Masters is part of the Bridge Burner podcast collective.

We do the rounds talking about the dates that the women have with Zach, and speculate, once again, on whether the women actually like Zach. But then we get into the mission statement of the Bachelor Masters podcast and spend some time trying to figure out what it actually is, whether the Bachelor is really in a decline, and what it all means for us hosts of the pod. The Bachelor Masters is part of the Bridge Burner podcast collective.

In this podcast episode we discuss things like whether Gabi is fun or not, whether Zach is a douche for telling Greer off on the iPad call, and whether or not the women have good British accents. And don't forget, we have our now weekly segment about the Chris Harrison podcast, but this time supplemented with talk about Victoria Fuller's new podcast. All the cringe is here, hit the play button and join us! The Bachelor Masters is part of the Bridge Burner podcast collective.

On this Valentine's Day podcast episode Co-host Craig gets caught up watching Let's Make a Deal and disrupts Co-host Iciar talking a bit more about the Chris Harrison podcast. We also talk about Brooklyn's fist-bump with Zach, whether any of the women actually like him, what's up with ATV dates, and a myriad other topics. Hit the play button and join us! The Bachelor Masters is part of the Bridge Burner podcast collective.

When the beds aren't pushed together they become modesty beds, just like the ones in this episode in the tent at the Natural History Museum. We have that to contend with along with Christina Mandrell (unexpectedly?) melting down. Then there are some boring dates and such. Hit the play button and listen in! The Bachelor Masters is part of the Bridge Burner podcast collective.

We're resisting naming this episode "Bad Bitch Energy" because we know every other podcast is naming their episodes that. And really, there wasn't much Bad Bitched Energy going on in this episode. Rather, there was some petty fighting, some meeting of the family, and some wondering where Patrick Warburton was. We end the podcast talking about our first concerts. Hit the play button and join us! The Bachelor Masters is part of the Bridge Burner podcast collective.

We start out our coverage of the new season talking a little bit more about Chris Harrison's new podcast. Then we jump into the season itself by discussing our favorite women from the short time we've spent with them, and maybe a villain or two. We end with a chat about The Big Bang Theory and a little bit about Two and a Half Men. The Bachelor Masters is part of the Bridge Burner podcast collective.

We're joined by Rob of the Vanderpump Robs podcast to do some pre-talk on the upcoming Bachelor season. Among other things we talk about Rob's Dad's bar and the movie Roadhouse.

It's the end of the road for this Bachelor in Paradise season, and we bring our deep analysis to each of the remaining couples. From classism to broism (is that a thing?) we discuss what we think are the relationship dynamics of Tyler and Brittany, Aaron and Genevieve, and all the others. Hit the play button and join us!

Our Co-host Caitlin is on sick leave today but Co-hosts Iciar and Craig take up the reins to talk at length about whether arguments are good or bad for relationships. What's up with Kate and Logan? Can Genevieve and Aaron stay in love? What about Andrew and how he handles conflict at the dance party? Give us a listen for our deep analysis, just hit the play button!

We spend a pretty good amount of time in this podcast episode wondering what's up with Kate. Is she faking her persona to get insta-famous? Is she trying to be a villain to make it on a Bravo show? Is she a psychopath? Okay, maybe not that last one (but maybe?). We also talk about whether Rodney deserves love and how the rest of the cast are also psychopaths (maybe?). Hit the play button and join us!

We get serious in this podcast episode to talk about Aaron's apparent trauma (he does talk about it himself) and reflect on people in our lives that might have demonstrated similar behavior to Aaron in his argument with Genevieve. Gen isn't off the hook in our analysis, as she contributes to the argument in her own, possibly selfish ways. We also talk about the love triangles. That's about it: we fit it all into one hour and eighteen minutes! Hit the play button and join us.

We hit all of the major points of the past two episodes, including Victoria and whether she displays sociopathic behavior, Kate and her vocal fry, Logan and his... looks? and all the best from Shanae and the rest of the group. Who will do anything for a rose!? Kate? Maybe! It's all here, hit the play button and join us!

We assure you that we're the only podcast around that actually found and subsequently play for you the song that was mentioned by Danielle to Michael. Ya know, the song about lighting a fire from past love that Michael then gushes about? Yep, that one! We also talk about each of the couples, or what's left of them after the split. It's all here, hit the play button and join us!

We're back with another podcast episode that is a bit longer than usual, because we ask the tough questions: is Michael A a bad guy? Is Peter correct that Brittany is looking for clout? Did the producers want Genevieve to be a villain? What's up with Aaron, bro? We try to answer all of these questions and more. Hit the play button and join us!

In this podcast episode we spend quite a bit of time on Michael A's apparent pandemic profiteering, per reports that one of his businesses seems to have done that. For Co-host Iciar, this leads to a whole teardown of Michael A as a person, widower, and dater! We also talk about the other people on the beach, but really, is it as spicy as our take on Michael A? Probably not. Hit the play button and join us! The Bachelor Masters is part of the Bridge Burner podcast collective.
