Bachelor Of Hearts

This week, XRN has been struck down by covid-19, so MQ is handily filling in the gaps, for the traditional not-quite-an-episode of the series: The Women Tell All. There's not All that much for the Women to Tell this time around, as drama has served as a garnish to the other festivities this season. However, we do find out our Final Two, as Gerry surprises us with his choice of evictee, and Max reflects on their less-than-ideal ending. Plus: gas chat, six inches become eight, and of course, we get to hear plenty of Max's beautiful Gerry impression.

This week, it's the greatest crossover event in Bachelor podcasting history, as we're joined by Annemarie Navar-Gill and Carrie Rosen, hosts of Bachelor in Retrospect, to recap Gerry's Hometowns episode. We do our best to unpick the show's cliffhanger ending, and stop down for every granular regional detail along the way. Will Slider get in shape before summer? Does The Golden Commissioner deserve our endorsement? And did Gerry fake the moon landing? Give Annemarie and Carrie the BoH Bump: Subscribe to Bachelor In Retrospect anywhere you get podcasts, and follow them on Instagram and Tiktok @bachelorinretrospect, plus Twitter @bachretrospect.

'Twas the week before Hometowns and all through the Mansion, the final 6 hope Gerry will meet their grandson. (Not the best rhyme, I'm sorry). This week, the women present their case for why they deserve to be in the top 3, leading to some incredible gameplay & heart-melting declarations of love. Plus - we discuss some breaking pop-culture news thanks to past & future guest Imogen Clark, Maxy Needs A Recipe, we go deep on Hannah Montana: The Movie: The Game, and we plan a live podcast in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. Check out the Two Paths for the Jewish Bachelor Contestant episode of JewishCurrents' "On The Nose" podcast referenced in this episode.

This EEK, we're joined by author, academic and Bachie AU icon Jodi McAlister for our annual arbitrarily Halloween-themed episode, Dracula of Haunts Laments: Screamer Shudders! Join us for a spirited discussion of The Golden Bachelor's fourth week, which included an exciting pickleball group date, the season's first declaration of love, and visits from the franchise's past and future. Jodi shares heaps of expertise about the archetypes of romantic fiction, mentionitis, and misattribution of arousal - as well as recommending some international reality shows, and detailing her process in creating a fictional show that resembles but is legally distinct from The Bachelor. Plus, we play a new game called Dink On Your Feet, stan for Sandra From Atlanta, and catch up on some developing baby news from last week. Please note - due to a very spooky audio issue, you'll notice the audio is spookily bad this week. It's a thematic thing, and very deliberate, but we're sorry anyway. Give Jodi the

This week, we're a little distracted by some baby news on Bachelor in Paradise, but we still find time for some research into Joan's hometown, memories of Listen To Your Heart, and the shortest Single Date we've ever seen. Plus, we genuinely enjoy some poetry, marvel at the gentlest dibber-dobbing in franchise history, and learn what a hoo-ha is. (None of our business).

This week on BoH: Senior Studies, we're joined by the iconic Bella Johnston (The Bachelor[s] AU Season 10) to recap Week 2 of The Golden Bachelor - which features the women's arrival at the mansion, a toe-tapping Single Date, and a handful of instances of good grief. Bella shares her experiences with mansion life, trauma bonding, crafting perfect Bachie fits and being papped in the nude. Plus - a biscuit DM slide, the mysterious disappearance of Marina, and the warm embrace of a familiar Group Date. Give Bella the BoH Bump: Find her on Instagram, TikTok, and her new Sunroom @spicyjohnston. Plus, get in on the ground level of her new podcast, One Night Stand @onenightstandpod.

This week, we're joined by returning guest Alisha Aitken-Radburn to officially kick off our coverage of the first ever season of The Golden Bachelor! We get the lowdown on Alisha's great new memoirThe Villain Edit, before diving deep into the limo entrances and shock Night 1 farewells of a pretty stunning episode of television. Plus - we practice our Gerry impressions, we debate the one "little droplet of cruelty" in the episode, and Max tells us about trombones. (Editors' note - the Golden Bachelor S1 E1 recap begins about 40 minutes into the episode.) Give Alisha the BoH bump: The Villain Edit is available on paperback & e-book wherever books are sold, with an audiobook coming later this year. Find Alisha on socials @alisha.aitkenradburn.

Bachelor of Hearts Presents: Senior Studies is finally here! In this series, we'll be looking at the inaugural season of The Golden Bachelor as it airs in the US - a series which marks the first time in Bachelor history that a cast has been exclusively made up of people aged 60 years and over. In advance of the first episode, we put our Professional Bachelor Journalist caps on to find out all we can about the 22 beautiful women who'll be competing for the heart of Gerry Turner (and of course, for the hearts of the viewing public). For more - find us on Instagram or join the Bachelor of Hearts Oshposting group on Facebook.

The BoH babys are BACK with a brand-new episode covering a scattershot grab-bag of extremely important topics! First of all, we're officially announcing that we will be covering The Golden Bachelor when it begins airing in the US at the end of September. We also detail some BoH-adjacent books and music we've been enjoying, dig into a red-hot crematorium scandal, and try and determine where 90s hitmakers The Offspring stand on trans rights. Plus, we catch up on recent weddings, product launches, and comings-out (both closet and implant).

Well, it's certainly a choice (again). This episode features our initial reactions to the announcement that Season 11 of The Bachelor Australia will again feature three leads: Wesley Senna Cortes, Ben Waddell, and Luke Bateman. XRN is going in cold (well, actually, going in 'stomach virus'), but MQ has prepared a detailed dossier on the three new Bachelors - so join us as we dig deeper than anyone could reasonably expect us to in order to find out whether any of these guys are interesting enough to talk about on our podcast for several frantic weeks. (We're still going to do it regardless, but, y'know.)

What's up bug dicks! The FBoy Island gods have blessed us with a combination Fuck Week and Finale Week, so we dig in to all the action, including a twist ending that served as another huge highlight of the season. Plus - what's going on with Cory? Which ex-Bachelor was caught up in a gangland shooting this week? And has a DJ ever had sex?

This week, we grapple with how the show recovered from a staggering cliffhanger, as the men's true natures (or at least their declared plans for the prize money) have become a matter of public record. Plus - a spirited discussion about kink, a flat-out disagreement about the respective A-Boy and F-Boy of the week, and flowers for Gold Logie nominee Osher Gunsberg. We're also inspired by a scene-stealing and potentially chances-ruining sunburn to introduce a new segment honouring the contestant who most needs a trip to SPFBoy Island.

This week, we tackle the biggest Australian Reality TV Cliffhanger in YEARS, and go All In on predicting who (and who isn’t!) an FBoy. Plus, do any of these men have talent? Can you win over your crush just by holding out chicken nuggets in front of them? And what should we make of Vernon’s Big Reveal? Join us @bohpod on social media to continue the conversation!

This week, we're back discussing FBOY Island Australia, and even though it's only week 2, we've already seen several game-breakingly unexpected events that require our analysis. What happens when a Nice Guy is cast away and then resurrected? And just what is an "intruder" when it comes to reality TV? All this plus our awards for F Boy of the week, A Boy of the week, and much much more. All this plus Xavier presents a brief history of pieing, we reminisce about the deeply cursed British dating show Snog Marry Avoid?, and Max shares some brand-new-and-definitely-not-rushed-into-production jingles.

This week, we kick off our coverage of the brand-new series, FBOY Island Australia! We rank some of our first impressions from A to F-Boy, we discuss "Bros Before Hoes" and the gray area between F-Boy and Nice Guy, and we pick our "boygenius" smartest moves of the week. Plus, Max shares highlights from Abbie Chatfield's Trauma Dump show, Leah Cummings speaks out about Thomas Malucelli, and Xavier smelled something funny at a birthday party.

In this extra-length episode, we report on three rumoured leads for the now-confirmed Bachelor AU S11, touch base about MILF Manor, and make an important announcement about what we'll be covering on the podcast next. But the meat of this episode comes when we decide to create the perfect application for The Bachelor. We go step-by-step through the exhaustive online application process, shaping and moulding the truth using our years of experience to create the ideal semi-fictional contestant.

In this episode of Bachelor of Hearts, we're keeping the feed warm with a couple of updates and a leisurely stroll through the exhaustive and complete* list of every movie Max Quinn has ever seen. Plus, The Bachelors casting news, an exciting promotional opportunity for BoH in the USA, and a chance run-in with an ursid under the influence. Find the full list here. Follow us on Letterboxd: @mqbigfilmguy and @xavierrn *List complete as of 23/04/2023 - also Max thought of a few more after we finished taping

On this very special episode of Bachelor of Hearts, we're joined by the one and only Abigail from Season 10 of The Bachelor[s] AU! She runs us through how her mum found out she was on the show, details what the past few months since shooting have been like, and of course gives us a much-needed Minnie update, before we walk her through the entire traumatic history of Season 10 to get her side of events. We go deep on getting stuck in someone else’s storyline, explore the limits of the ketchup complex, and get an answer to a question we’ve had all season: are Felix’s teeth real? Give Big Gail the BoH Bump: follow her on Instagram @itsbiggail, TikTok @itsbiggail, and of course share the love with Minnie @minniethecatchelorette!

Another MAFS check-in with BoH Correspondent Max Quinn. In this episode: What should Caitlin do about Shannon? And why is the entire internet on Team Josh? Plus, Max weighs in on Harrison, Lyndal, Cameron and Claire.

Who won and who lost during the first Married At First Sight Dinner Party of Season 10? BoH co-host Max Quinn reacts live after the episode. Hot takes within on: Harrison, Bronte and Melinda Can Jesse be redeemed? Melissa's root rat edit Josh's Disney obsession ... what is Cumbo?
