The Rosecast | 'Bachelor' Recaps with Rim and AB

Matt's season of 'The Bachelor' reaches its inevitable conclusion, with many opportunities missed.Note: The last 15 minutes of this episode (not an exaggeration) consist of a mostly incoherent rant from Rim and some general venting from both of us in a segment we'll call our State of the Union.

At long last, Clare's season from the La Quinta bubble has arrived. With a more mature cast of men who might not even have to share bunk beds, the next few months will surely be low on drama. Right?Please note: We've decided to cover Clare's season with the major "spoiler" as part of the discussion. If you have somehow managed to avoid this news, it's in your best interests to refrain from listening until, y'know, the coast is clear. (For what it's worth, they discussed the rumors openly on Jimmy Kimmel Live last night, so it's not exactly contained to the seedy underbelly of the internet.)Timestamps:0:30 Thank you LeBron!2:30 The big off-season "spoiler" which we are no longer considering a spoiler6:30 Clare intro9:00 Bubble stuff13:00 Clare's Sunday Conversation14:30 Limo entrances40:00 The BIG limo entrance49:00 Cocktail Party1:04:00 Rose Ceremony1:09:00 Mailbag question1:11:00 AB's Bachelor Headlines of the WeekThanks for listening!----[rimandab.com]Social:Instagram @rosecastpodcast [instagram.com/rosecastpodcast]Twitter @rosecastpodcast [twitter.com/rosecastpodcast]Facebook /rosecastpodcast [facebook.com/rosecastpodcast]TikTok @rosecastpodcast [vm.tiktok.com/24dKMx]Text the mailbag: (773) 234-7794Merch store: [teepublic.com/rosecast] Hosted on Acast.

To prepare us for Clare's stint as the Bachelorette, Chris Harrison saved the worst "greatest" season for last. Juan Pablo's journey to find love endured some late bumps in the road, shall we say, leading to a pair of the most memorable moments in franchise history.-----[rimandab.com]Social:Instagram @rosecastpodcast [instagram.com/rosecastpodcast]Twitter @rosecastpodcast [twitter.com/rosecastpodcast]Facebook /rosecastpodcast [facebook.com/rosecastpodcast]TikTok @rosecastpodcast [vm.tiktok.com/24dKMx]Text the mailbag: (773) 234-7794Merch store: [teepublic.com/rosecast] Hosted on Acast.

The good news is, we're almost finished with these GOAT episodes. The bad news is we were forced to revisit a season so recent that some cast members are still actively participating in Bachelor franchise shows. We discuss how our feelings have changed since originally recapping Nick's season in 2017 before the episode devolves into an extended discussion about Big Brother and the 1996 NBA Draft class. As always, thanks for listening.10:00 Actual GOAT episode discussion44:00 Comparing Nick's cast to the 1996 NBA Draft Class53:00 Twenty minutes of Rim being confused about Big Brother-----[rimandab.com]Social:Instagram @rosecastpodcast [instagram.com/rosecastpodcast]Twitter @rosecastpodcast [twitter.com/rosecastpodcast]Facebook /rosecastpodcast [facebook.com/rosecastpodcast]TikTok @rosecastpodcast [vm.tiktok.com/24dKMx]Text the mailbag: (773) 234-7794Merch store: [teepublic.com/rosecast] Hosted on Acast.

A look back at Jason Mesnick, whose change of heart after his finale engagement was a watershed moment for the franchise and delivered television so compelling it would have made Christof from The Truman Show jealous. Unfortunately, his GOAT episode was a bit lacking, so Rim and AB were sidetracked even more than usual this week. Thanks for listening, and for your patience!Unrelated to reality TV: Most of eastern Iowa — including our hometown, Cedar Rapids — experienced an inland hurricane on Monday. Thousands of homes and businesses were damaged from in excess of 100 mph, causing countless downed trees and power lines.

First things first: There was seismic news this week regarding the upcoming season of The Bachelorette. If you do not know this news and want to enter the season completely and totally unspoiled, we suggest you skip to at least the 16:00 minute mark.Ali's season though, huh? What a love story. "Rated-R" was there for the Rated WRONG reasons after all, haha. And Frank, how did that cutie let Ali slip away?

It's not just the baggy suits -- the first seasons of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette were totally different than the shows we watch today. We discuss the breakneck pace at which Alex and Trista narrowed down their potential mates and the fact that just about everyone involved wasn't entirely sure what was going on most of the time.(P.S.

So Rim re-recorded his parts, which means he had to pretend as if he was conversing with AB in real time when in fact he was not. The result is a subpar episode, plain and simple. I'm embarrassed by it, and frankly I won't blame you if you skip it. In any event, thank you for your patience. We'll be back to normal for the next episode.) Hosted on Acast.
