Bachelorette (2021) E9 | A Bachelor Nation Divided

Happy Paradise Finale!! And congratulations to our newest couples. TTBP is truly rooting for you and wishes you the best. With that said, please only ever eat on plates from this point moving forward. BFF-of-the-pod, Connie, had to join to wrap up the season. We have to be honest when we say we're glad it's ending, mostly because our tans are gone and all of these hot people on a beach are making us feel bad. However, we're grateful for the memories and will remember our time in Mexico this summer fondly. Goodbye Paradise... Also, TTBP will be taking a season off to recoup and rest up. I am so excited for Michelle's season and hope everyone will join me in watching! TTBP will be back with some more exciting news along the way!

SPOILER FOR NEXT WEEK from 18:55 to 21:55 We're nearing the end of Paradise and Katie Murphy joins TTBP this week to predict the futures of everyone on the beach! Spoiler alert, maybe only one couple ends up together. No matter what happens, we're just happy that Natasha is getting out of the house with her remaining days in Paradise. It's hard to say who will end up together and who will call it quits, but one thing that's not hard is STOP MAKING US WATCH PEOPLE EAT OFF EACH OTHER ON THIS BEACH. We're glad you guys like being sticky, but the rest of us at home don't need it! Anyway, we're rooting for you guys and we hope next week there are fewer commercials and more intimate conversations. We'll find out then!

It's week 5 in Paradise and we. are. pissed! Jk, we're not, but Becca definitely is and we're not sure why! BFF-of-the-pod, Connie comes back on to discuss the usage of female vs. woman, whether tattoos are hot or not, and Grocery Store Joe's future. We're right in the thick of it and things starting to get messy, but not even close to how messy that whipped cream date was that will never be speaking of again. Thank goodness Dr. Joe was there to help clean things up and make them better.. until he didn't. And while we're happy for our friends finding love, we can't help but miss our pal, Demi and the level of professionalism she brought to the job. We miss you girl, and we'll see you on the other side (the after show).

This week in Paradise was one for the books! Best-Friend-of-the-Pod joins TTBP this week to break down the drama and the events of Becca Kufrin's first party. There were a lot of jaw-dropping moments this week, but I think the biggest one of them all was that Alana brought just a tiny little backpack to the beach. While we love transparency in Bachelor Nation, I do believe we pulled the curtain back too far on some of these relationships ::cough cough:: Brendan and Pieper. But even in the midst of all this drama, we're not sure what's more confusing, the fact that Brendan and Pieper are still on the beach or the fact that Demi keeps getting rejected! Hopefully, answers come next week!

Another week in Paradise.. even though they've actually only been there for 5 days. And while we're all having fun, it was time for some caking throwing into the fire. Here to break down all of the drama on TTBP this week is long time listener, first time caller, Caitlin Vickery! This week was filled with new comers to stir the pot - Princess Becca, Smoke Show Chasen, some guy named Chris I've never seen in my life - and thank god, because Demi's shoulders were getting tired holding this season up! And you know who wasn't at all present to help her out? A Mr. Lance Bass. Which is fine because honestly, he's really busy and important and can do whatever he wants. Next week is bringing the fire (hopefully cake-free) where even more questions become unanswered. Does Joe leave with Kendall?? Who will Demi bring next to the Boom Boom room?! Who isn't letting Tahzjuan pee and poop?!?! Hopefully we find out next week..

Paradise is back and so is TTBP with guest Katie Murphy!! Sorry to worry anyone who thought this season may not be covered, but I would never do that to you and I would never do that to David Spade and Lance Bass. While it's a good cast this season, it is a bit concerning how level-headed and mature everyone is being. Obviously, we wish you all love and happiness, but would it kill you to get in a fight here or there along the way? With most people coupled up this early on, it will be interesting to see who else walks down those steps to stir the pot. Demi can't carry all of the drama on her shoulders this long! Someone help the girl out. No matter what happens, at least we all know one thing to be true, Tre's uncle will not be watching this season. New episodes during Paradise come out every Thursday!

Hey fam. No new episode this week, but TTBP will be covering all of Bachelor in Paradise starting next week with new episodes every Thursday. I'll see you then!

Table Flipping podcast hosts Taylor & Alyssa join TTBP for the finale this week and what a finale it was! It was a polarizing ending but whether you ended team Katie or team Greg, we can all agree on one thing - Katie's aunt is terrifying. Blake, we applaud your efforts. Of course, Katie has no regrets, but we wish she had one regret over refusing her stylist this season. Girl, it's time for some new t-shirts. Either way, she found love, and all of us shocked, but what can you do. This finale really just left us with one key takeaway.. MAKE JUSTIN THE BACHELOR! And catch @tableflippingpodcast episodes every Friday!

Okay, NOW it's Hometowns! And we still barely got any of that, but it's okay because this truly was the most dramatic episode of Katie's season. Friends-of-the-pod, Connie and Lanie, join to discuss this week's shocking ending. In a Bachelor Nation so divided, it's time to focus on the one thing we all have in a common - a dislike for Blake for no apparent reason. Though it may never be enough to bring team Katie and team Greg together, with friends like Herb, anything might be possible. We're not sure where this season is going or how it's all going to play out, but we do know one thing... Connor the Cat deserved better. Oh, and Justin was there too. Time for the finale!

Welcome to Hometowns!!!!!! Just kidding! It's actually Men Tell All, and that is not even the first lie Sarah has told this season, but more on that later. TTBP this week was so lucky to be joined by dear friends-of-the-pod, Drew and Maggie, who made us forget all about how boring MTA was and reminded us that what's really important is bromance. We also discuss how Michael A should definitely not be our next Bachelor and some potentially problematic taglines from Million Dollar Matchmaker? But none of that is even nearly as offensive as Sarah getting Andrew's profession wrong for an ENTIRE SEASON.
