Dramatic Gold and a Crappy Situation

00:00:02
Speaker 1: Hey, everyone, welcome back to another episode about your happy hour. Unfortunately, Serena is not with me. I'm all by myself. She's a little under the weather, so I'm gonna be doing this recap alone. Later this week, you have to stay tuned. We have April from The Golden Bachelor and Aaron S from Bachelor in Paradise, and I will say during my whole podcasting journey, Aaron S may have told the most interesting, craziest, scariest story I've yet to hear, So stay tuned for that. It runs a little long because the story is just so intense. I don't know if you guys heard about it, but essentially, they were seventeen miles in the ocean and the boat went under. I'll leave it at that. Check it out. Later this week we're going to drop it. Okay, I'm gonna recap Golden Bacher. First. We are on week three. There are twelve women left, which it does seem pretty quick, but that's how it always feels. The show moves quick. First first thing in the episode I made note of is that we have our first group forming in Golden Bachler. Now we see I'm the Bachelor Bachelorette, Bachelorette. There's definitely cliques Bachelor in Paradise, sometimes not as vocal, but as a viewer you pick up on who likes who, who's friends with who. This group is called Asking, and it is April, Susan, Kathy, and Nancy all very likable people. Now, when you form a group, that means you are kind of separating yourself from everyone else, Like, these are the people that I like. I may or may not get along with everybodybody else, but this is now my crew, which is great because that's gonna definitely stir up some shit and some drama. And we definitely are starting to see that they're called Asking because it's their first initials and they're always telling. What does that mean? Are they always telling on other people? Are they telling on each other that I didn't really get? But I can't talk shit about them because I do like them all. We will see as this goes on, and I'll talk about later that the beef between Kathy, April and Teresa. Okay, so we go to a talent show. We see Caitlin Bristow there, always good to see her. Talent shows are the worst I feel for them. I watch it, and I feel uncomfortable because I know how much anxiety and how anxious I would be trying to show off a talent in front of strangers and then in front of the person that you're trying to date. But they all did really well. I would say that the two that stuck off for me at the beginning would be Ellen and Sondra. And we see, you know, Caitlyn, when you get a belly laugh out of Caitlyn, it's funny. And then we see Leslie come out in Leslie, she looks great, she moves like she's twenty three years old. She gives Gary a lap dance, and you can tell Gary, is I mean, the guys into it. At the end, she feeds him a little cake. Not only can she not only can't she get down, she could also cook? And is this kind of like coming for April. I don't know, because we did see Gary's birthday party. April was the first one to give him a lap dance. And then probably I would say the main focus point during this talent show was Joan. Because Joan was very hesitant. She didn't want to do it. She doesn't have a talent. You always have that person that is freaking out prior to the talent show, and she comes out and she says a poem. She does really well. Everybody's super supportive of her. Gary loves it. Gary. To me, Gary is very into Jones, the very attractive woman, and he's like, Joan, you conquered your fear, which, personally, I always think it's a little unfair when somebody is super nervous, goes out does well. But did she do as well as everyone else or was it more of a pity rose are a pity one on one. I don't know if it's a pity one on one, because I do think he's really attracted to her, and maybe that was a good enough reason for him to give her the one on one, but Joan gets the one on one. Okay, So the dinner portion with Joan and Gary, I think they have I think they have a connection. I don't know how strong it is, but just by the way Gary looks at her, I think he's really I think he's really into her, I would say Joan. At this point, I'm like, Jon's going, Jon's going Top four. He really likes her. She seems to be into him. I don't think I could have went better for Joan. She thought she was gonna flop. It worked. Their connection strong, They kiss great, so Joan's gonna be there. She gets a rose. Knock knock. Unfortunately, Joan now has to leave because of a family emergency. Her daughter just had a baby. It was not the easiest pregnancy, and she just truly needs her mom. So Joan is choosing her family over Gary, which totally makes sense. Now I feel for her in this situation. Of course, I feel for Gary, and it's really how strong was their connection, and I think even if it's super strong, Jon's probably still gonna choose to go home to her daughter. It makes sense. Gary tears up a little bit and he's like, you know, you just I get it. One of the things about this show is everyone on it, for the most part, is very emotionally mature, So it makes for like, yeah, you know, Gary, instead of like pouting or being upset, is like you, I totally understand. You have to do what you have to do, and Jone's like, yes, I do. So she leaves no more. Joan thought she was going to be in the top four, but she's not because she is no longer there. Who knows maybe she comes back at the end. I heard the end's crazy, so I wouldn't be shocked, but we don't know. Okay, next date, he gives a day to Ellen and they go on a hot air balloon. I think, and I keep comparing Ellen and Gary to Charity and Dotton. I really think they both really like each other. I see actual chemistry there. It doesn't seem forced at all. They seem to really get along. Ellen looks so sweet in her pink gown. She's just having so much fun. And Ellen just gives me young energy, like she's spunky, she's happy, she's always smiling. She's just in a good mood, and that's contagious. And I think Gary eats that up. I think he really likes her. Like we saw in the last episode, he's going out of his way to give her a gift. And I also like the fact that Ellen is one of the older women in the house. She's seventy one, and all the women just seem to be so happy for her. And when you see that everyone else in the house is happy for that one person, that means they're likable and they're a nice person. So really into her, She and honestly like, how do you not love an elementary sexad teacher? She used that as her jokes, A little vagina hu ha whatever. That was great though, just a wonderful personality. Really like them also in my top four And I think I said that at the beginning. I got to check with Serena, but I'm pretty sure she is. I don't know if I put Joan in there, but if I did, she's gone, Okay, here's the thing, right, We're halfway through this show. It's it's happy, it's sad, but you know, here we are, there's there's no there's no real drama, and like you kind of when you watch a reality show, you do need a little bit of that. So am I checking out? No, but I'm kind of like okay, And then here we go, all of a sudden, we see Kathy start freaking out, and she's freaking out because Teresa's talking to her a lot about her connection with Gary, which we always see and it's never a good mood or it's never a good move to tell someone about your connection with the person they're also vying for. So Kathy all of a sudden like breaks down and like starts crying and essentially you know, runs away, which it seemed extreme, But at this point, I don't know how much Teresa has been saying no, We're seeing little clips of her going around, and I get it in Teresa's case because she's never been on the show. She's excited, she's got a connection with him, but ah, does she have any alter, does she have any motives where she's kind of I don't know, just trying to psych out the other women, like I have a great connection, You're wonderful, and I'm sure he likes you, but we have a real connection. And I kind of think that's what's happening. So Kathy runs away, and we see as Kathy's goes and grabs Gary, we see all the women are kind of like circled around and April, who is not scared to speak out and I interviewed her and she will throw shade. Basic is like maybe certain people should keep their mouths shut. Love it all right, Now I'm back in this thing. She's essentially throwing a dig at Teresa. Teresa picks up on it, and now we see like there's definitely gonna be a split between women, and it does it does seem like people are really against Teresa. She's not only doing this to Kathy. It seems like other people are picking up on it too, So they have a conversation. Was just like essentially like yeah, like nobody wants to hear it, which I get. So we got that. And then Kathy talks to Gary and she's a mess, and Gary, there's a little rose happy. I'm not gonna lie. I don't know if she should have gotten a rose from this. He could have waited, but he's like, I really like you. For anyone to make you sad, isn't fair you get a rose, which he if he had watched the show, he probably should have waited because he should have been able. He should have waited to have a conversation with Teresa to then feel out the situation. So honestly, I'm not in favor of Gary giving Kathy a rose in that moment. I don't have an issue if he's into her and then gives one later. I think he jumped the gun on that, which is great. It makes for good TV, and then people are upset and then people even get more med And also, don't get me wrong, I do really like Kathy, and one of the reasons I like Kathy is just based off of this photo alone, and it's a photo Kathy posted on our page of her and Susan basically leaning into the fact that everyone calls them Chris and Caitlin. I love that she's having fun with that. It shows that she has a sense of humor. And who knows, maybe we'll get both of the real ladies at one of the after shows. So I'm excited to see that. And yeah, Kathy, Kathy's great, and honestly, thank God for Kathy because she's making she's making some TV now and she's working hard. So Kathy comes back, she's happy. Gary calls the audible and then I didn't note Teresa. There's her bents. Teresa is a disturbance. I think that's what. Yeah, that's what I wrote. And then Teresa talks to Gary and he's like, hmm, but I really like her. Gary is almost starting to flirt the line of being a little too nice and too trusting. He does need to understand when there's a bunch of people competing for one person or one thing, everyone has a little bit of a competitive nature. And I think that's what's going on. And I don't know if Gary is picking up on that, but we'll see we now there's a line drawn in the sand. And then we see Kathy and Teresa have a conversation and Kathy I respect because she she sticks to her guns and she's like, well, this is how you made me fail and you shouldn't do that, and Teresa's like, I'm sorry, I didn't know I was doing that. But then we see at the end, which was the best part, after the Row ceremony, I'll talk about who leaves after the Row ceremony, they both get a rose. Teresa still starts jabbing at Kathy talking about her connection with Gary again, which I don't know if that was done on purpose or not. I love it. I love the move. And now we're going full steam Kathy first Teresa. Unfortunately for Teresa, she doesn't have Asking to back her up, so I don't know who's on our team. But this is the beginning of a fight and I love it. I'm here for it. So unfortunately we see Christina go home. We don't really see much of Christina during these past few episodes. Edith, who I really liked, and we did see a decent amount of, but I guess I really see much of her and Gary, so I'm assuming there just was no connection there. I'm surprised she was she went home, but she's gone. We lose three people, Edith Christina Joan is the last we've seen a Joan. I don't know, and this is the first time I'm actually thinking that is on this podcast. So we'll see. So that is it for my recap on Golden Bacher, but we do see next week. It is the pickleball tournament, which is the perfect time for there to be some sides in this house because I feel like these ladies are really going to go at it. Gary loves pickleball. This is this is their super Bowl, so let's go. Can't wait to see what happens there. I'm pretty sure there's gonna be a fight, and I think somebody sprains her ankle or hurts their ankle. We see someone go down and I think it's I think it's April, but we'll see. We'll check that out. Okay, onto the show that I met my wife Bachelor in Paradise. Here we are girls have the roses. So the first time in the show that the power is now switched, which we always see a lot of flip flopping. When this happens, Tanner's the first guy comes down from Charity season. Multiple girls have expressed that they're into Tanner, Jess and Cat would be the top two. He grabs Jess first, and I will say Jess wasn't giving me all. I don't think she was like, let's go on a date. I think she said like, I'm interested in getting to know you more, but I do really like Blake, which I thought was interesting because she did really want to see him. Kat, on the other hand, was also very much in the Tanner and I know it's kind of a thing between Cat and Jess, which we will get into, which, in Cat's defense, right, if Jess is super into Tanner, but Tanner talks to Jess and then talks the Cat and chooses Cat, she's not really gonna what's she gonna say, No, No, you should take Jess. He's gonna be a well I talked to Jess and I chose you, so she could have turned the date down, but that's just an that's just an awkward situation, and then Jess would feel like second best. So I don't think anyone wins in that scenario. So I'm glad she went on the date. Now we see that she's been talking to Branden, right, don't know how serious serious it is. They've been hugging, kissing. Obviously she wants a rose. She seems to be into him. We know he's really into her. But this is all through interviews because as far as any conversations on the beach, I don't really see any of them going into depth or getting super serious. Like I'm just not I'm not getting any of those conversations yet. So I don't trust any of these relationships. And I mean Kat said in the Circle of Trust with Hannah Brown that she's waiting to see multiple people. So Kat goes on the date. But what she doesn't do she doesn't talk to Brandon. She almost ignores him, which is her right. I think it's rude. I think most people are gonna think it's rude, but you know, she has every right to do what she wants, really, and maybe that's easier for her to end a relationship of like, hey, this was never that serious, so let's not make it. Her attitude to me is like this was never serious, so let's not pretend it is. It is what she's giving. So she goes on a date with Tanner. Braiden's freaking out. He's upset. We see him tear up a little bit. He doesn't want to get hurt. Everyone on the beach also feels for Braiden, which makes me think that their relationship was a little more serious than Kat is leading on, because even her friends when Kat gets back, are like, hey, you should like pay attention, read the room and talk to Braiden. And Kat is someone who seems to get very defensive, and she grabs Braiden. So after the date, her and Tanner have a good time, She's gonna go with Tanner. We don't really know how Tanner feels about her, which is weird. I'm sure we're going to see it next episode. She grabs Braiden and basically says, like, my feelings for you will not go any further. I'm going with somebody else. Rip the band aid off, and I don't really have an issue with it. She's just that's how she's gonna do it. She's gonna get some hate, but it is what it is. What's where in my opinion, Kat is in the wrong is then she gets upset that Braiden's upset and she has no right to tell him how he should feel about the situation. So that's where I think she's wrong, her ending it with him and being a little cold, like, you know, that's just that's just the name of the game, so be it. But she shouldn't have to tell She shouldn't be telling Braiden like this is how you should feel about the situation. That's bullshit, And that's I think where most people will side with Braiden. And yeah, that that was that that was the main drama of the episode. I don't know. I'm curious to see how Tanner actually feels about Kat because now she's like her and Braiden are done, and if he goes back to her, that's that's a that's a huge mistake. But we'll see. I'm curious where this goes. I'm curious to see what happens with Braiden, because you know, everyone judges everyone else for talking to someone to get a rose, But if you want to stay and you want to see who's coming next week, you kind of have no choice. So I'm curious to see where Braiden is going to go from here. And Tanner's pretty level headed, so I don't know how he's gonna feel about this whole situation when when the guys probably sit down and have a guy chat with him, and then he's gonna be like, oh interesting, let me talk to her, and then she's probably gonna get upset at Tanner for talking to him. So it's gonna be a whole fucking thing. So we'll see. Got another guy shows up on the beach, which now they're starting to play like weird music. They got like rock and roll music down when Tyler Norris walks in, he's not giving me heavy rock. But here comes Tyler Norris. He grabs Rachel to talk. Now we know Rachel Tyler was one of her top guys. Nothing really comes of that talk. It does seem like Rachel wanted Tyler to take her on a date, but yeah, we're not getting much from there. Honestly, I thought that was gonna be a deeper conversation because I remember how hurt he was when she didn't pick him. Hot Sean is kind of freaking out, but he's good. He's a narrator, so I don't know what Hot Shoon's deal is, but he is funny. And then Tyler also grabs Mercedes, which now we see baby boy Will. Will is having a tough go at this point. It just doesn't seem like Will is gonna be able to hang on to a girl because Tyler comes back and he ends up asking Mercedes. So poor Will. Again, that's like I don't know, like, should should he have stayed tried to see where things went with Olivia? Maybe? Maybe? But yeah, all the girls are excited about Tyler, but he picks Mercedes, which I wrote, I was kind of shocked by that. I actually didn't see that coming. So they go on a date. I'm gonna talk about the their date before I get into all this poop baby shit, but I will say the weird Tyler's has a bubbly personality, good looking guy, super nice in Mercedes the same good looking, bubbly, fun personality. But when you're at a date and you have to check with each other to make sure that you guys have chemistry, there's no chemistry my opinion, And when you have to be like, oh, we have chemistry. I think we have chemistry. You guys don't have chemistry. That's my opinion. So I don't know. We'll see what happens there. She does come back, she talks to Will, which I like Mercedes. I think she has a good heart, and I think she felt bad. I think in her heart she knows she's gonna choose Tyler, but I think she feels bad just straight up ending it with Will. So she's kind of like I got to sleep on it sort of thing. So we'll see what happens. But if I had to guess, Will's gone. Okay. So a couple that we haven't seen much of is Aarones, Like I said, he's coming on the pop kiss in Sam. They seem to actually be a stronger couple than we even know, and I do like them both. But Sam hasn't been able to take a shit for ten days, which is usually the opposite in Paradise because people usually get a little a little their stomach gets upset. She's also like has an eight pack and it's not even blown it. Like if I didn't go to the bathroom for eight days, I don't even know how I would look. But that's got to be super uncomfortable. And when you're trying to like meet someone and you know, feel and be sexy and have that that those beginning steps of a relationship, it's kind of hard when like you're constipated, so she can't go to the bathroom. But the problem is if she doesn't, she's gonna have to go to the hospital and deliver this poop. Baby. I don't know how they're gonna go about that. I don't really care. I don't want to know how about I want to see her stay. So she talks to Aaron and basically explains the situation, and in my opinion, he couldn't have been more of a gentleman about it. He made her feel comfortable, he made her laugh. It makes me like them both. He makes her a plate, which I don't know if it's gonna work. She should just be drinking hot sauce at this point, or drink some water. Drink some of the water. I mean that. That always gets me sick out in Mexico. But yeah, he's he's gonna do his best to deliver it himself so she doesn't have to go to the hospital. If we see a teaser for next week, if it's not delivered on her, if she can't take a fucking shit, then she has to do. She has to leave. I don't know where that. I don't know what happens with Aaron ass I don't know if the relationship is strong enough at this point for him to be like, Okay, let's see where things go outside of this. I'll leave with you. It's a teaser for next week, so we don't know what happens, And I actually don't really have an opinion on it because I don't I don't have enough of a feel. I kind of think he may go as well, but I don't know. I just don't know. I'll be curious to see if the show maybe tries to if she leaves and he stays, maybe they try to drop another girl early to keep somebody around. Otherwise we're gonna have guys dropping like flies here. Yeah, it was something I want to talk about that we see in the upcoming trailer for next week's episode. Is one of the stronger couples on the beach at this point, seems to be Aaron b and Eliza. Eliza who went through a ton last season. You know, she knows what it's like to be in a thrupple and have to deal with all that goes on, and she got a ton of hate for it, and it was emotional and very hard on her, and she talks about it She's having a great time with Aaron b. She seems to be really into him, he seems to be really into her. They get past the fact that he kissed Mercedes, everything seems to be kind of smooth. We see her potentially on another date with another guy. Eliza, what are you doing? You don't have to go out a date with everyone that asks you this show. I just don't see how that's gonna play out for her or him that if this was her first time down here, I get it, But after going through everything she went through last season, I cannot believe this girl goes on a date with someone else. But maybe I'm speaking out of turn. We don't know how this goes down, so I'm excited to see next week's episode to see what happens there. But if I had the guess, that is not gonna be smooth. So we'll see. We'll see who else comes down. I'm excited to see next week what girls get dropped? If they still drop more guys? We have a rose ceremony. Who's going home? What's gonna happen at the end of this Will we get an engagement? We know we get a marriage, but I've already been married twice, so it's not me. I've been married twice to the same girl, so yeah, excited to see where that goes. Okay, guys, that is my recap of both episodes. I hope you enjoyed. Next week I will. We will have Serena back because I think she is getting better. Can't wait to see what goes on with these episodes. Stay tuned, make sure you subscribe, check out our interviews.
