Kate and Marcie are back for Zach's Bachelor season. We discuss why nobody seems excited, how fast the couples seem to be breaking up now and if ABC would ever cancel the show. Plus, we talk a bit about Bachelor in Paradise, other shows we've been into lately and a few of the women on Zach's season. Listen in and follow us on Instagram @BacheloretteBuds

Kate and Marcie are back from our Bachelor Nation break to discuss another reality TV show favorite - Netflix's Love Is Blind! We're comparing Season 3 Dallas to Season 2 Chicago and discussing the most toxic couples and the latest breaking news of Raven and SK's breakup after some cheating rumors surfaced last week. Then we do a deep dive on each of the couples: Alexa and Brennon, Nancy and Bartise, SK and Raven, Cole and Zanab and Matt Colleen. Plus, we are obviously discussing the reunion, including the infamous 'cuties' scene and what the choice to air that could mean. (Are the producers on Team Cole here?)

Kate and Marcie break down (one of?) the most dramatic Bachelorette finales ever! First off, Kate admits her defeat - Marcie was right about Tino and Kate was wrong. Very wrong. But Rachel is not looking too great either... Listen in as we compare the Rachel/Tino breakup to the Becca/Arie breakup and discuss Rachel threatening to take her ring off, if one kiss is cheating - or could you work it out if you really wanted to? - and so much more! Plus, we dig into Gabby and Erich's relationship (will it last? why didn't ABC address certain things? where are they living now?) and the new Bachelor, Zach, who we certainly aren't thrilled with. What a mess of a season... Follow us on Instagram @BacheloretteBuds

Kate and Marcie discuss Part 1 of the alledged 'most talked about Finale ever.' We go over the 'good PR' discussion between Zach and Rachel (Is Zach getting a Bachelor edit...?!), the Aven engagement / breakup debacle, and we talk a little bit about Gabby, but let's real - tonight was The Rachel Show. Plus, we discuss Tino's conversations with Rachel's family and what in the world is in that black book of his in the previews?! Follow us on Instagram @BacheloretteBuds

Kate and Marcie are back to recap Gabby and Rachel's Fantasy Suites in Mexico! We start off by discussing the whiplash of switching back and forth between Gabby and Rachel's dates, Tino's red flags and what Erich and Gabby talked about in private that he later brought up in front of the cameras. Then we get into Jason and Gabby's heartbreaking (and confusing) goodbye. Was Jason in the wrong? Did he know what he was signing up for by going on The Bachelorette? And of course, we go over what could have gone wrong between Rachel and Zach in the Fantasy Suites. Is Zach telling America Rachel is fake? Was it a political or religious conversation that went wrong? Follow us on Instagram and let us know your theories! @BacheloretteBuds

Kate and Marcie discuss the flop that was the Men Tell All...and the 'life-changing' announcement. Hell of a marketing ploy by Virgin Voyages! Plus, we dig into Aven's medicore Hometown date, our predictions for Gabby and Rachel's final roses, that Bachelor In Paradise preview and Nate's great PR from ABC. Do you think Nate is our next Bachelor? Let us know on Instagram! @BacheloretteBuds

How are Hometowns already happening?! Kate and Marcie recap the incredibly rushed hometowns between Zach, Tino, Tyler, Jason, Johnny and Erich. We break down Tyler's heartbreak on the Jersey Shore (is he aiming for Paradise?), Tino's skeptical parents, and Erich's heartbreaking family situation.  Plus, we discuss what lies ahead for the Men Tell All and what the 'life-changing' news will be...

This week on The Bachelorette, Rachel and Gabby explore Amsterdam as they narrow it down to their top Hometown choices. Gabby has a heartbreaking goodbye on her 1-on-1 with Nate, but decides to have some fun with safe words in the Red-Light District on her group date. Rachel, meanwhile, loves how much Zach loves her...but is Tino aka Baby Back Bitch still her front runner? Plus, Kate and Marcie aren't buying the whole 'Logan has COVID story.' And Kate is certainly not buying the whole 'Tino is a villain story' either!

The Bachelorette(s) take Belgium but really only Gabby takes Belgium... Kate and Marcie are discussing Rachel's choice to cancel her group date after Logan's flip-flop, how Gabby reacted to the whole situation and this week's 1-on-1 dates with Aven and Johnny. Why is Gabby sticking her head under a whipped cream nozzle while making Belgium waffles and slapping people with fish while Rachel pouts on the cruise ship? *sigh* Follow us on Instagram @BacheloretteBuds

What an episode! We had rainy night dates in Paris, Jesse Palmer speaking French and the group starting their journey on the cruise ship! Join Kate and Marcie as we break down yet another dramatic episode of The Bachelorette. We discuss Hayden (and a possible strategy to get back with his ex?!), Jason, Tino and of course - Rachel's many tears as she navigates this journey as one of two Bachelorettes. Plus, we can't forget Rachel's infamous line: "About the dog?!" In the meantime, Kate will be fangirling over Tino AKA young Ben Affleck. It's fine. She's fine.
