It’s episodes 2 and 3 of Bachelor in Paradise 2025: Justin is bringing peak Justin, the (g)oldens hit the sand - Karen & Kayleigh are here to lead you through the rubble.

We’re talking missed connections, mixed signals, a buffet of regrets-- complete with a side of secrets. And let's not forget the horror-movie-dream-sequence-advert created specifically to sell us a new "I know what you did last summer".

Five hours of TV that feels a little bit like eating sugar-coated gravel—we watched it all so you don’t have to.

It's 2025 and Bachelor in Paradise is finally back on our screens! Karen & Kayleigh are here to tell you all about it.

Karen & Kayleigh are here to tell you what you already knew-- Golden Bachelorette Joan Vassos picked Chock Chapple as her future partner in the Golden Bachelorette season finale. Was it great to have a happy ending? Absolutely.

It has been such a joy for Kayleigh and I to talk about the Bachelor franchise these past 4 years (and 15 seasons!) -- an idea that was born during the pandemic which deepened our friendship and taught us new skills. We still love this very flawed franchise, in spite of itself, and look forward to rooting for future Golden contestants. And we aren't finished with podcasting! We are going to continue watching and discussing the Golden seasons, and we have big plans to come back in 2025 with some new ideas, too. If you stay subscribed to the podcast, you'll be alerted once we have a new series uploaded - easy peasy.

Kayleigh and I also thank the many individuals who have taken the chance to find love (and a new career as an influencer) on the many versions of the Bachelor: thank you for entertaining us! --karen
