The Rosecast | 'Bachelor' Recaps with Rim and AB

The first three hours of this week's double-Bachelor extravaganza included reckless accusations, under-the-table roses, and more questionable decision-making from our lead, the gift that keeps on giving.Timestamps:3:00 Cleveland cocktail party12:00 Rose Ceremony15:30 Costa Rica19:00 Sydney one-on-one date - day time20:00 Back at the house22:00 Back on the date26:00 Group date card27:30 Sydney one-on-one date - night time33:00 Back at the house34:00 Group date - day time40:00 Group date - night time53:00 Kelley one-on-one date - day time56:00 Back at the house58:00 Kelley one-on-one date - night time1:03:00 Tammy tripping/Kelsey meets with Peter1:12:00 Canceled cocktail party1:15:00 Rose Ceremony1:24:00 Off-screen news1:31:00 Mailbag1:35:00 Power RankingsListen on:Apple PodcastsSpotifyGoogle PodcastsFollow us on:InstagramTwitterFacebookTikTokText the mailbag: (773) 234-7794Check us out on Podchaser: podchaser.com/rosecastMerch: TeePublic.com/rosecastrimandab.com Hosted on Acast.

Peter's comedy of errors overshadowed any positives to emerge from Week 4, as he somehow managed to make just about all of the (now 16) remaining women upset with him. The second hour of this episode may as well have been set to Yakety Sax.Timestamps:2:00 At the house3:30 Cleveland facts6:00 Victoria F. one-on-one date - day time23:00 Victoria F. one-on-one date - night time26:00 Back at the hotel28:00 Back on the date30:00 Group date - day time38:00 Group date - night time1:00:00 Kelsey one-on-one date - day time1:03:00 Kelsey one-on-one date - night time1:06:00 Cocktail party1:18:00 Mailbag1:25:00 Power Rankings1:28:00 AB's Bachelor Headline of the Week1:30:00 Rim and AB's existential crisisListen on:Apple PodcastsSpotifyGoogle PodcastsFollow us on:InstagramTwitterFacebookTikTokText the mailbag: (773) 234-7794Check us out on Podchaser: podchaser.com/rosecastMerch: TeePublic.com/rosecastrimandab.com Hosted on Acast.

Alayah's full-season arc was jammed into one episode as Sydney politely but firmly planted the seeds for her demise. Plus: Victoria P's delightful date, and what some may consider a throwaway comment has major implications for our impressions of a certain relationship.

A seemingly frivolous conflict brought us one of the all-time great moments in cocktail party history this week, and as you can imagine, those events take up a good chunk of our recap. Plus: Residual Hannah B. fallout, a cutthroat catwalk group date, a few tips for Peter's bedside manner, and more.

Peter's season premiere was essentially a double episode, and thus our recap is obscenely long. Speaking of obscene, how about some of those limo entrances?! Listen now to hear our early favorites, thoughts on ole Pete as the lead, and what we make of where things left off with Hannah B.

Three couples left Paradise engaged, but how many survived the rigor of two months in the real world? Rim and AB discuss (nearly) all of what went down on After The Finale Rose, including reaction to the next Bachelor announcement.

So I guess you could say things are getting pretty serious. Four couples remain heading into the final week of Paradise, Tayshia and John Paul Jones complete their roller coaster ride, and Blake's time in Paradise comes to a very appropriate end.Listen on:Apple PodcastsSpotifyGoogle PodcastsFollow us on:InstagramTwitterFacebookTikTokReview the show on Podchaser: podchaser.com/rosecastText the mailbag: (773) 234-7794Check out our TeePublic merch store: https://www.teepublic.com/stores/rim-and-ab?ref_id=9558 Hosted on Acast.

Angela's arrival sends Clay into a tailspin, the JPJ-Derek conflict comes to an expected conclusion, Blake takes a page out of George Costanza's playbook, and the serious couples look toward the future as Paradise winds down.There's a new design in our TeePublic merch store: https://www.teepublic.com/stores/rim-and-ab?ref_id=9558Listen on:Apple PodcastsSpotifyGoogle PodcastsFollow us on:InstagramTwitterFacebook...TikTokReview the show on Podchaser: podchaser.com/rosecastText the mailbag: (773) 234-7794Binge the full season of Recoupling, our 'Love Island' recap show: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/recoupling/id1472806176 Hosted on Acast.

A jam-packed week of Paradise calls for a jam-packed episode of the Rosecast. Off the top of my head: Dean hits the ol' dusty trail, Kristina sticks around, Clay (possibly) rekindles an old flame, Caelynn finds a new suitor, and John Paul Jones has several dates (and an equal number of confrontations). Plus: A loaded mailbag.

The piñata scuffle seems like so long ago now, doesn't it? Chris and Katie are on the same page but *think* they're on different pages, Blake stumbles on a new flame (whom he already knows), and Demi ushers the franchise into new territory.There's a new design in our TeePublic merch store: https://www.teepublic.com/stores/rim-and-ab?ref_id=9558Listen on:Apple PodcastsSpotifyGoogle PodcastsFollow us on:InstagramTwitterFacebookReview the show on Podchaser: podchaser.com/rosecastText the mailbag: (773) 234-7794Binge the full season of Recoupling, our 'Love Island' recap show: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/recoupling/id1472806176 Hosted on Acast.

Few in human history have dug themselves larger holes than Jed Wyatt over the last few months. We recap the two-night finale -- the third hour of which was basically an episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm -- reflect on an up-and-down season with Hannah as the lead, assess the next Bachelor prospects, and much more.Thanks for listening all season, it was a great one.

Things are getting lukewarm between Hannah and Jed, Tyler takes a step, Mike steps aside, and Luke barrels into Hometowns as only he can. When they're not distracted by stroopwafel conspiracies, Rim and AB are here to break down the details.(Yeah we used a photo of Tyler for the second episode in the row, what of it?

A teenage viewer with his or her learner's permit would be hard-pressed to pass any kind of Driver's Ed quiz if they spent more than a few minutes listening to Garrett and Luke discuss multi-lane highway logistics and courtesy. Plus: Peter steams his way to the top, Tyler solidifies his position, Garrett begins to fall in love *for* someone, and much more.(Full disclosure: As you'll hear in our introduction, we had a little mishap recording this episode, one which required a re-recording.

This week's episode of 'The Bachelorette' -- which included a forty-five-minute surprise recap clip show, to the benefit of no one -- was an affront to Bachelor Nation and a mistake that will not soon be forgotten.

Contenders separate themselves on a full-clothed (?) group date in Scotland, while Mike auditions for the hearts of both Hannah and Bachelor Nation. There's also another Luke P-related cliffhanger, if you're into that sort of thing.

Peter, man of kind eyes and minimal drama, finds himself cruising comfortably toward love with Hannah.

A wise man once said, "Episode two is where people really show their true colors." MC Cam leads the way with several jarring tactics, while Luke P. storms ahead of the pack with an early (to put it mildly) declaration of love and a few secret, steamy rendezvous.

We're on the other side of the fence -- and officially in uncharted territory for the franchise.

At this point in the season, everyone knows who is ready to say "yes" and who is just along for the ride. Everyone except Colton, anyway, which is either endlessly frustrating or wonderfully entertaining.

On dates and in dim hotel rooms, the contenders separate themselves from the pack. There are now five or six people we just can't imagine Colton sending home. Will the infamously indecisive lead falter down the stretch?

On the final day in Paradise, our two favorite couples inexplicably parted ways while other, more dubious partnerships took things to "the next level" and/or promised to wed. The tables turned at the wild after-show reunion, and an off-screen scandal threw Bachelor world of its axis.

A roller coaster season of Paradise continues: Eric paints himself into a corner, Joe and Kendall play house, Kevin is forced to witness the engagement of his recent ex, Tia and Colton do something, and much more.

One couple is intent on dominating the headlines, but we prefer to focus on the more interesting stories: Kenny's connections, Jordan's tantrums, and Grocer Joe's agonizing afternoon.  Listen on:Apple PodcastsGoogle PodcastsSpotifyFollow us on social media:InstagramTwitterFacebookText the mailbag: (773) 234-7794 Hosted on Acast.

An unpredictable week in Paradise gives us plenty to talk about. John is suddenly a hot commodity, Kenny and Krystal hit it off (until they didn't), the Goose Gang is roaming around the beach bullying unsuspecting peers, and more.Listen on:Apple PodcastsGoogle PodcastsSpotifyFollow us on social media:InstagramTwitterFacebookText the mailbag: (773) 234-7794 Hosted on Acast.

Not since LeBron James was a teenager has there been a more highly anticipated arrival. Rim and AB discuss whether Grocer Joe lived up to the hype, if it's possible to untangle Tia's twisting web of logic, Krystal's new attitude, and more from the first episode of 'Bachelor In Paradise'.Listen on:Apple PodcastsGoogle PodcastsSpotifyFollow us on social media:InstagramTwitterFacebookText the mailbag: (773) 234-7794 Hosted on Acast.

(If the wrong episode shows up in your podcatcher feed, delete the episode and refresh) What a finale. Blake's heart sank to the bottom of the ocean, while Becca seems ecstatic to be with Garrett. We recap it all, from the family dinners to the proposal to the AFTR controversy discussion. (Side note, our audio was acting weird and we couldn't really talk at the same time. So when you hear silence from one of us after the other makes a great joke, just know we're silently laughing to ourselves.)Listen on:Apple PodcastsGoogle PodcastsSpotifyFollow us on social media:InstagramTwitterFacebookText the mailbag: (773) 234-7794 Hosted on Acast.

Jason smiled through two abrupt walkaways, gleefully ate crickets (with no sauce!), and capped off his journey with a post-breakup scrapbook delivery. Was it enough to warrant next Bachelor consideration? And how will Blake react if his worst fears are realized two weeks from now?

Hometowns went off without a hitch, unfortunately. We would have preferred some familial strife. Thankfully Tia Booth came to the annual girl talk sesh armed with one gigantic wrench, just itching to jam it into her "friend" Becca's journey. Plus: Is Blake the new frontrunner?

Colton's reveal leads to a bizarre exchange, Blake is deeply in love (and likely headed for crushing heartbreak), and Wills and Leo cash in their tickets to Paradise. 1:30 Did AB see a spoiler?4:15 We’re in The Bahamas7:00 Colton one-on-one date - daytime12:00 Colton one-on-one date - nighttime18:00 Back at the house19:15 Back on the date20:30 Garrett one-on-one date - daytime22:15 Back at the house24:15 Garrett one-on-one date - nighttime26:15 Blake one-on-one date - daytime29:00 Blake one-on-one date - nighttime33:00 3-on-1 date - daytime35:00 2-on-1 date -nighttime40:00 Power Rankings43:00 Rosebag mailbag50:00 Very Cavallari featuring Jay CutlerListen on:Apple PodcastsGoogle PodcastsSpotifyFollow us on social media:InstagramTwitterFacebookText the mailbag: (773) 234-7794 Hosted on Acast.

Lincoln embarrassed her in front of the citizenry of Richmond, Va., Chris prowled through the night in desperation, and Connor wore glasses for the first time and threw her decision-making process into disarray.
