Tri Deltas in the TV Room welcomes our newest podcast host, Lexi, into the hot seat. In our rapid-fire round, we got to know her better when we covered everything from mac ’n’ cheese and coffee to beach days and crocheting. We caught up on New Year's resolutions and channeled Gloria Gaynor vibes with Mindy’s determination to survive the slopes.

Super Bowl LVIII took center stage with our dive into the ads, Taylor Swift, Mama Kelce and Beyoncé and then transitioned to Avery’s lessons learned from Bachelor Nation. For Valentine’s Day, we delved into traditions, date nights and Karen’s “Marry Me Chicken” recipe. Upcoming episodes were teased, leaving us excited for more engaging conversations and surprises in store. At the close of the conversation, we are left celebrating girl power and the perfect confidence in ourselves to conquer any challenge.

Alanna gets deep after being triggered by a slim jim, explains how said slim jim sent her into an existential crisis, clears up the drama of her dating app run in, and welcomes her first  guests before they give their hot takes on dating, relationships, and Alanna being twice the size of her ex-boyfriends new boo. 

Hannah sits down with her ex-boyfriend Colton, whom she dated on season 23 of the Bachelor. The pair share some memories from their time on the show, how it impacted them, and how they have both grown since their time with Bachelor Nation

How have we not addressed the Golden Bachelor yet?!

Join us as we rectify this crime we've committed and discuss:

• What do we think the Golden Bachelor will be like
• What type of contestants will Gerry get
• Will anyone be there not for the right reasons
• Will Gerry get engaged at the end

We can't wait until the season of the Golden Bachelor airs and we discuss with you all!

Although we've come to the end of the road, I have no problem letting go. The Zachelor is finally over and the ending was not surprising. But what about those Jess rumors?? Look, I'm just trying to think of something to write, I fucked my back up at the gym. I mean, I'm not any more stoned than usual, I just want to lay down, ok?

This episode of Bachelor Massacre covers all sorts of territory, from the cruelty of this season to trusting your gut to brow lamination. And best of all, for the first time ever, you get all 3 hosts at once. Do it. Do it!!!

If you've been riding with us this season, we really appreciate it. Now that this run is over, we would love some feedback! Please write us a review and don't just Zach it up and tell us what we want to hear. Unless you can "really see a future" with us and want to give us a rose.

Bon voyage,

Waves, Mandy, Scotty, and Sparse Mansion Media

Kate and Marcie are back to discuss Zach's 'Sex Week!'

We break down Zach's decision, why he felt the need to announce it and the mess that came afterwards. Plus, what did Kaity mean when she made that comment to Gabi under her breath at the rose ceremony about 'being the only one'?

We also dig into Charity being the new Bachelorette and predictions for the finale. Will there be a big twist?

On the last season of Bachelor Massacre, I referred to the Women Tell All as "Week 9" even though it was in the same week as Week 8. Then I called Fantasy Suites "Week 10" ... Was I right? Was I wrong? Does it matter? Ask someone who isn't a Virgo.

This season's WTA was pretty standard though it did have some dope moments, from Jess's surprising confidence in the hot seat to Greer's seemingly genuine apology to a twerk-filled blooper reel (were those just pre-bloopers or what? Gave *me* some pre-bloop, if you know what I mean ...)

Isn't it weird how much the producers invested in Christina Mandrell, only to have it blow up in their face? Like, people were really acting like she was gonna be the next Bachelorette. They barely showed her on this episode, minus a rehash of her disrespecting Charity, who is actually the next Bachelorette anyway.

And it turns out that Bachelor Fantasy Leagues really are a thing.

This episode features myself and Amanda Quincosa.

Next up: SEX WEEK

Zach is not a hometown hero. He's not really even a hometown homey. If anything, he's hometown hopeless. This is the episode where Zach finally strips away any last shred of respect I may have had for him. Fuck you, Zach. Go home and leave these women to me.

The final four women of this season prove, yet again, to be more interesting, emotional, and intelligent than our lead. And Zach proves, yet again, that not only does he have no poker face, he also has no balls, no communication skills, and very little charm when faced with even the slightest pressure. I am still dumbfounded that someone this boring was able to land this gig.

From a syrup date to interrogate to hesitate to why bother to wait, these hometown dates will leave you not questioning why the contestants and their families got way more screen time than the Zachelor. So I hope you enjoy myself and Scotty Boombox hitting his metaphorical knees with our metaphorical tactical batons as we break this episode down.

Be sure to check out another episode dropping TOMORROW, when Mandy and I take on the Women Tell All.

Welcome to Budapest, Hungary! The land of paprika and porn and palacsinta. My literal motherland, if only in the sense that my mother was born and raised there. It is indeed a great place to fall in love, certainly more than Tallinn, Estonia. Don't @ me.

As my co-host Scotty Boombox points out, this episode is filled with cruelty. From a torturous "mentalist" date (aka group therapy disguised as a magic show) to Greer getting sent home after being led on by the entire production staff, this one is a doozy. Not only that, but Hometowns are on the line! Who made the cut?? (You already know by now anyway because this episode is late af. Don't @ me.)

And yes, dear listeners, I realize that in this episode I refer to the Fantasy Suites as involving 4 contestants instead of 3, you know I know the deal, I was just a little tipsy. Don't @ me.

Stay tuned for (hopefully) 2 episodes back-2-back: Hometowns with Scotty Boombox and the Women Tell All with Mandy Quincosa.

Bachelorette Buds is back with Kate and special guest co-host Ashlee! Listen in as they discuss the latest details of Zach's Bachelor season and why people seem to be so bored with it.

Plus, we dive into the Vanderpump Rules cheating drama and the hold it has on the world right now. Good for you, Bravo, good for you.

And don't miss our recap of the latest Netflix reality TV show The Perfect Match, featuring contestants from shows like Too Hot To Handle, Love is Blind, The Circle and more. We dig into Shayne and Bartise's storylines on the show, the ridiculous ending and which couples are still together today.

Finally, we discuss Kelsea Ballerini's new divorce album, her podcast interview on "Call Her Daddy" and new relationship with Chase Stokes from Outerbanks.

I fucked up. I never should have made the first episode of Bachelor Massacre Season 2 a two-parter. Now we are on Episode 6 of the podcast but Week 5 of the show, and it is going to mess with me for the rest of this Zachelor season, I just know it. Aaarrghghhh *clenches teeth*

This was the worst episode of the season so far, whilst having what was probably the best one-on-one doe. Gabi got the highly coveted Pretty Woman date much to her absolute delight (and the absolute MIND FUCK of all the ladytestants). But lo! There is a disturbance in the force. Is Zach hungover? Does he have mono from all that kissing?? Does he have the shits from his full English breakfast??? Nah, big bruh just has covid.

I can guarantee it like Denzel Washington that listening to this episode of Bachelor Massacre will be less boring than watching Zach go on Zoom dates with his remaining women. I can also guarantee that Greer loses it, Jesse Palmer phones it in as usual, and Ariel does not get enough screen time.

This episode features myself and Scotty Boombox. Please rate, review, and subscribe!!

PLEASE RATE, REVIEW, SUBSCRIBE!! We've been working extra hard over here at Bachelor Massacre and Sparse Mansion Media and we really need your help to keep this going. Everyone involved in this show is really busy outside of podcasting and we don't have a ton of time to dive into promotion and "influencing" so if you do listen to the show or are just a fan of Bachelor Nation in general, please take a minute to rate and/or review Bachelor Massacre so the algorithm will help get us out there and grow our audience!

It's now Week 4 of The Zachelor, and while Zach is still not proving to be overly exciting, he's not a hatable guy. (Yo, is it me, or does "hatable" look crazy? Where that "e" at??) But like we saw with Clayton, he is merely a vessel for these women to truly shine. And shine they do, because this season is stacked with beautiful babes that myself and co-host MandySays believe are truly out of his league. Bruh is so lucky! But not only are these women gorgeous, they seem to be pretty supportive of one another ... until they aren't. Join us for another deep dive/sloppy recap and make sure you remember to never ever EVER speak about Instagram on The Bachelor!
