Episode 75: A Very, Very Bad Week

Episode 75

21st June 2017

Fair warning: This is a pretty tough episode to listen to, and it was a pretty tough episode to record. We’re covering everything that went down during the suspension of Bachelor in Paradise, and also recapping a super problematic episode of The Bachelorette. There’s a lot of rotten stuff happening right now that we’re trying to sort out; we ask for some patience as we figure out what comes next.

About the show

The Bachelor is too dangerous a television series to try to watch alone. That’s where Rose Buddies comes in: Media experts Rachel and Griffin McElroy — get this! — watch episodes of The Bachelor family of products, and then — this next part is genius — talk about them on a podcast. They’ll have their erudite analysis ready for you the morning after new episodes of The Bachelor, or The Bachelorette, or Bachelor in Paradise or of whatever other hellspawn is birthed from this franchise’s fertile womb.
