Love to See It with Emma and Claire

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! No, we’re not talking about the holiday season, we’re talking about the new season of The Bachelor! Ahead of the January 6th premiere, ABC has released the cast bios of the 30 women vying for Pilot Pete's heart and we’re here to go through all of them in great detail. Claire is on maternity leave and will be sitting out this season (we miss you, Claire!), so filling in for her is HuffPost reporter and friend of the pod, Leigh Blickley!

We’re here with our show from The Bell House in Brooklyn! Actress, activist and friend of the pod, Erin Darke joined us on stage to recap the finale of the first season of The Bachelor. Alex Michel has said goodbye to 23 women and now it’s down to two. Who will he choose to spend the rest of his life with? Laidback Amanda, or aloof Trista, who doesn’t seem to be all that into him and will soon go on to be the first ever Bachelorette? That might be a bit of a spoiler. And, since season one never had an After The Final Rose special, we decided to have our own with very special guest, Amanda Marsh Caldwell! Amanda joined us on stage to talk about her time on The Bachelor, her life with Alex after the show and what she’s doing now, as well as play a game with us looking back on her most memorable (and cringeworthy) moments on the show.

In anticipation of our final live show, we returned to the studio to recap the first ever Women Tell All special. It was certainly less dramatic than today’s Tell All's and unfortunately, Alex Michel was not forced to confront any of the women. Listen to find out who got the original Women Tell All glow-ups, why Chris was responsible for most of the feminism fails, and to prepare for the last live show of this tour! We'll be recapping the first season finale at The Bell House in Brooklyn with friend of the pod Erin Darke and a super special surprise guest from season one of The Bachelor on Thursday November 21.

We’re here with our show at The Miracle Theater in Washington DC! Bravo TV personality Daryn Carp joined us to recap episode 5 of the first season of The Bachelor, featuring the first ever fantasy dates to exotic locations such as... New York City and Tahoe. And, because we were in DC, we had to touch on politics a little bit. We invited HuffPost Deputy Editor Elise Foley, Washington Post Reporter Jada Yuan and Washington Post Columnist Alexandra Petri - three women who are familiar with the politics of both our nation and Bachelor Nation - up on stage to play a couple of games. It was a lot of fun, and if you couldn’t make it, we’d love to see you at our next live show! We'll be recapping the first season finale and joined by some very special guests at The Bell House in Brooklyn on Thursday November 21.

It's Hometown week on season one of The Bachelor and just like Alex Michel, Here To Make Friends hit the road and went to Chicago to talk about episode four with Vulture recapper, Ali Barthwell. We were also joined by some special Chicago-based Bachelor alums. Clay Harbor sat down for a spotlight interview, that we promise was not cut out of the podcast, and we played a round of 'Never Have I Ever' with Jaclyn Swartz, Diggy Moreland and Dustin Kendrick. We'll be recapping the first season finale at The Bell House in Brooklyn on Thursday November 21.

We continued our live tour recapping season one of The Bachelor by going to Gramercy Theatre last month to talk about episode three with special guest Phoebe Robinson. It was a monumental episode featuring the first ever utterance of the phrase, “I’m not here to make friends.” We were also joined by friends of the pod and Bachelor alums Derek Peth and Michael Garofola. We talked to Derek about his time on Paradise, which he had just finished by the time of the show, and played a round of F*ck Marry Kill with the two of them. We have two more live shows coming up, recapping the last two episodes of season one. We'll be recapping episode five of the first season of The Bachelor at The Miracle Theater in Washington DC on Monday October 21.

Back in August, we were in Philadelphia to talk about episode two of the first ever season of The Bachelor. We had a great time in the home of Gritty to talk about the first appearance of Bachelor fantasy dates with former contestant, Ashley Spivey and to play a game of ‘Who Said It?’ with Ashley and friend of the pod, Brett Vergara. We will be releasing the rest of the live shows as podcasts, so stay tuned for those! And for fans in the New York area, we will be returning to The Bell House in Brooklyn for a live show on Thursday November 21, recapping another classic episode from the first season of The Bachelor.

After seven weeks, we’ve reached the end of our time in Paradise this summer. Which couple got engaged? Which couple broke up? Which couple got engaged and then looked pretty unhappy at the reunion? All of our burning questions were answered! On this episode, Emma and Claire break down everything that happened on the three-hour finale, from Blake’s time in the hot seat to Demi and Kristian’s epic love story. And of course, the very underwhelming and unsurprising announcement of Pilot Pete as our new Bachelor. We’ll be at The Bell House in Brooklyn for a live show on Thursday November 21, recapping another classic episode from the first season of The Bachelor.
