It's that time of year again and we're rolling out the red carpet and handing out the hardware for our 2024 Bachy Award winners from Joey's Season. (DISCLAIMER: THIS EPISODE WAS RECORDED PRIOR TO THE GOLDEN BACHELOR DIVORCE NEWS) Support the showBy Michael Wahle, Zach Pyke, Dan Duddy

This season's championship game was one for the books! Kelsey bounces back from her ill-advised "We need to talk" heat check and catches fire en route to edging out a gritty underdog win, but not before Daisy self-eliminates via the classiest, most empowered version of "you can't fire me, I quit!" in competitive dating history. Plus, we're so excit…

This season's (surprisingly great!) All-Star Game saw Joey's women spill the tea while groveling to the newly-crowned queen of W.T.A defense: Maria. We break down Maria's commanding performance, Kelsey's bizarre letter misstep, and Rachel's graceful swan song, and on the heels of a night featuring high energy/competitiveness and minimal chaos, we p…

We've made it to Suites Week of Joeys season, and we're here to cover all the hard-hitting action: Rachel getting some chin music from a cenote, Daisy taking the advice of Golden Bachelor alumni and giving her playcalling some "sexual oomph," and if Kelsey's cliffhanger "Dear Joey" letter on the heels of her prolific performance is a big deal or a …

It's that time of year again to debate which dads were the toughest and what contestant has the cutest nephew: Hometowns!! We're joined by friend of the show and our resident reality fantasy sports expert The Talented Mr. Rose Max Singer as we cover all the surprisingly smooth hometown visits and decide who had the best week and what Maria's exit m…

We're heading to Hometowns! But not before Joey sends the final two wild card spots packing. We break down Daisy's slight unease during her iso sets, Kelsey A's freezing out of the competition in her "Typically Canadian" one-on-one, and how Rachel and Maria (despite a nearly disastrous "pump fake") axed Jenn and Kelsey T's championship bids. Use ou…

Sacre Bleu!!! The Week 6 action shifts north of the border to Montreal, where Joey and his roster spend their Canadian vacation being tres triste as emotions run high. We cover all the hard-hitting, gravy-covered game tape, including Maria's flawless "Un Jolie Femme" one-on-one date, Kelsey T's potential Bachelorette edit, Daisy's clutch foot rub, …

Our Week 4&5 doubleheader mega coverage is as hard-hitting as a sausage and cheese wheel! Join us as we break down the players going medieval on each other, Maria outdueling Sydney in a lopsided 2-on-1 and dodging a surprise attack by first impression winner Lea, and Lexi, Kelsey A, and Rachel giving top seed Daisy a run for her money.! Use our cod…

A hard-hitting Week 3 gave us pageantry, surfing, costume tennis, and a disastrous pool party that not even Colonel Sanders could save. Join us as we debate if Daisy should be looking over her shoulder at Jenn, who brought home the most significant group date bacon, and if Sydney is the worst villain in all of the Bachelor Cinematic Universe. Plus,…

It was a hard-hitting (and high-jumping!) Week 2, and we're here to hand out all the hustle points as we break down all the action from Maria's mid-game uniform swap to Lauren's non-red velvet meltdown to Daisy's flawless one-on-one performance. And, as always, The Talented Mr Rose Max Singer Drops by to give you tips on who to start next week in f…

Game, Set, Batch!! It's time for Joey's tennis-pun-filled season of The Bachelor and we're here to cover all the hard-hitting action. Can sisters date the same man??? Why do people in Philly throw batteries at Santa?? Can boats work on land? We try to answer all these questions and more, and as always, The Talented Mr. Rose Max Singer drops in to g…

Another season of Bachelor in Paradise is now behind us, and with it so are the handful of relationships that lasted through regulation play down on the beach. With the 2023 season being such a bust from a shipping standpoint, the boys discuss how we ended up with zero couples standing and debate if Paradise needs a makeover (or maybe even a replac…

We made it all the way to the end of the first-ever season of Golden Bachelor, and boy was it a finish! The boys cover all the action and break down how Gerry's finalists fared against each other in a geriatric head-to-head for the ages. Plus, did Mercedes's shocking mid-rose ceremony steal launch her into the MVP conversation? And is Rachel the do…

It's that time of year again but this time....we're gonna do it slower. Golden Fantasy Suites are upon us, and Gerry does not disappoint. Then, we head down to the beaches of Paradise to cool down with a lukewarm comedy roast that got a few of the players heated. Grab your plate and gobble up all our hard-hitting Week 8 coverage!

We've arrived at the Golden Bachelor Women Tell All, and unlike most of the recent Bachelor tell-alls, this one was actually pretty good! We break down the many highs from this year's refreshingly kindhearted (and often gutwrenching) all-star game, and who between Joan, Ellen, and Faith may have emerged from their Golden Bachelorette edits as the f…

It's time for our first-ever "Golden Bachelor Hometowns" and we're more jacked up than a trio of sugared-out precocious grandkids! We break down how Leslie went from underdog to top dog in the AP Polls, and predict if Faith or Theresa will see her in the finals. Plus, with just about everyone on Paradise scrambling out of the pocket in Week 6, we g…

It's already wildcard weekend on The Golden Bachelor, and due to a HUGE misfire on the referees' part, that means Gerry is packing his bags for only THREE hometown dates next week. We take you through all the high-flying and low-sailing Ferris wheel/hot tub-infused action that got us there! Plus, both Canadian Sam and Split-Eye Davia arrived on the…

We're dinking straight into mid-season of The Golden Bachelor and covering all the action from the pickleball group date tournament, to the sultry, ice cream-filled game of Never Have I Ever that proved to be our farewell to A.S.K.N. Then, we head down to the beach to break down the lack of poop and copious amounts of "truth" that led to the bigges…

Week 3 of "Golden Paradise" gave us hot air balloon highs, big ole "poop baby" lows, a red-hot talent show, and an ice-cold Kat. We'll leave the "Good Poop Doctor" to help Sam, but we're ready to deliver our spin-free coverage of all the hard-hitting action! Use our promo code "ZONE3" for: FREE shipping and 30% off your first order of Lumi's THC gu…

It's Week 2 of our Golden Paradise coverage, and we've got some burning questions of our own. Can anyone stop Theresa from running (and dancing) away with the "widow pennant"? Has Leslie taken a leap over Faith in the divorcee conference? Was Gerry's iso set with Nancy the most poignant moment in the history of the BCU? And (with the possible excep…

It's opening night for both The Golden Bachelor and Bachelor in Paradise!

This year's Bachelorette championship was one for the ages! Join us as we break down how Dotun held off Joey's furious late push despite his jumper not falling early, Charity's legacy within the BCU, Joey's prospects as our next Bachelor coming off of a heartbreaking loss, and how Big Bachelor flubbed the landing (yet again). Use our promo code "ZO…

It's time for Charity's Men Tell All, and boy did those men tell all! (Kinda.) We break down all the action from what might go down in Bachelor Cinematic Universe history as the most lackluster All-Star Game ever played. And, of course, we give our takes on our Golden Bachelor Gerry coming out of the bullpen in the ninth inning to take the hot seat…

A wild Fantasy Suites week sees Xavier crash and burn while Doton and Joey's master classes launch them further along on their crash course toward meeting each other in the Finals. And just when we thought there were two...Aaron B. swoops in via a 10-hour flight to make an awkward pitch by a pool. We break down how Xavier went so wrong, Doton and J…

Hometowns? ....In week 6??...In this economy?!?... ...You better believe it!

It's our first travel week in Charity's season (San Diego shouldn't count) as Charity and her roster head down to the "Big Easy," where life's ironically pretty hard for the guys vying for the "loose ball" Hometown roses. And Joey may have been on a one-horse carriage, but it looks like we've got a legitimate two-horse race between him and the top-…

Week 4 sees Charity, at long last, make Brayden and all his "extra" antics. We break down how the clubhouse finally came together and put up the defensive effort they needed to give Brayden the boot. We also get into the tale of the tape of the dual nearly flawless 1 on 1 dates pulled off by Dotun and Xavier. And of course, we give our first impres…

We're hopping on the 5 down to sunny San Diego and into Week Three of Charity's season of the Bachelorette, and where we're going.... we don't need product placement. We cover all the strange ins and outs of the Barbie movie group date and try to determine who was Charity's true Ken and which players remained metaphorically wrapped in plastic. Then…

It's week 2 of Charity's season, and our season villain seems to already be as good as crowned, as Brayden successfully fought off Adrian's "Spring Break" accusations and lived to tell the (tattle) tale. Plus, we dig into which of the two nearly flawless one-on-one dates from A-Aron and Joey had the most impact. Use our promo code "ZONE3" for: FREE…

After a long, hard-fought season, Kaity and Gabi--our final two women with box office talent and oddly spelled names--leave everything on the field in a heart-and-gut wrenching finale that gives us the first true championship ring finish in years! We break down how Kaity took the lead for good and why Gabi's gut instincts became another defender ou…

Big Bachelor has been building suspense and trying to create a brand with Zach's notorious Sexless "Sex Week." But we know it for what it really is...Fantasy Week, and just how much sex is actually happening? We get to the bottom of it, and discuss if Zach's flip-flopping on hanky panky in the fantasy suites was fair or foul and what effect his poo…

It's that wonderful time of year again! The time when we venture to far-off locales like the woods of Vermont and the concrete jungles of the West Village to meet the "teammates" of the women vying for Zach's heart. The Zone Three debate which of this year's Final Four did the best coaching job, who won the vaunted title of this year's "Most Valuab…

This week, Zach and the girls head to Budapest, Hungary where Kaity types her feelings but can't drop the elusive L-Bomb, Greer says (or rather whispers) goodbye, Brooklyn rides her last Rodeo, and the players get surprised by a defensive stalwart in the form of a mentalist! (Not Simon Baker.) We can't read your mind, but we can give you a piece of…

With the action shifting to Tallinn, Estonia, aka "Smooch City," the boys are here to cover the insanely steal-heavy week and debate whether Charity/Ariel have what it takes to catch Kaity/Gabi in the AP Polls and if Kat's pre-game steal was a genius defensive scheme or a flagrant foul. Plus, we've got a few bones to pick with Zach after his iso se…

As we hit the halfway point of the season, the Zone 3 triumphantly reunites to break down the positive Covid tests and negative vibes clouding the action in London for every player not named Gabi. Are we getting set up for a Gabi vs. Kaity title fight? Can Greer get her season back on track? And should Zach have sent players home via Zoom? Join us …

It's Valentine's Day, and what better way to celebrate than to recap a tear-filled Week 4 with our very own Aunt Mary!

This week's episode is brought to you by Manscaped, the G.…

We're heading into week 3 (which might as well be called flag football week) of Zach Shallcross's Season of The Bachelor, and we've enlisted the help of hilarious Comedian, Actress, and Bachelor Pundit Chase O'Donnell to help us decide if faking an injury in the "Bachelor Bowl" is a bush-league move or a time-honored tradition. Plus, "The Talented …
