Description

A snarky but affectionate dissection of the love we see on-screen – and what it says about all of us. Hosted by culture critics Emma Gray and Claire Fallon, Love To See It is a weekly podcast that recaps reality dating shows like “The Bachelor” and revisits the romantic movies that shape the way we date and love today. We laugh, we cry, we break down every juicy detail and unpack all the weird messages that pop culture sends us about love, sex, and dating.

Season 2 of “The Golden Bachelor” is kicking off next week, and ABC has dropped those cast bios! The fact that 66-year-old lead Mel Owens has said he doesn’t want to date women over 60 (i.e. everyone in the show’s typical age range) has cast a pall over the proceedings, but who could be mad about meeting these 23 vibrant, multifaceted, brilliant women? Not us! We dig into the bios and discover a cast full of midlife health and fashion influencers, cosmetic dentists, and government workers – whom ABC seems particularly eager to assure us are all addicted to Pilates, long-distance running, and dance.

This week, Bachelor Nation was rocked by an unprecedented announcement: the next Bachelor would actually be a Bachelorette, and that Bachelorette would be… “Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” star Taylor Frankie Paul. The MomTok founding mother and gossip magnet is already massively famous, and comes with an unusual reputation and background for a “Bachelorette” leading lady, so naturally we – and everyone we know – are still processing! In this episode, we dive into who Taylor Frankie Paul is as a cultural figure, her history of “soft swinging” and domestic violence arrest, what this choice says about our cultural/political moment, and what we can expect from her upcoming season.

The ‘Bachelor in Paradise’ season 10 reunion dropped last week – and then it dropped again, and then it dropped a third and final time. We listened to the two-part podcast reunion, and then watched the YouTube video edit that finally came out this weekend, so we could take in every bit of the room tone, cross talk, and confusing circular arguments about tweets that no one bothered to read or even explain. In the midst of it all, the men from the season seemed to sit back and avoid taking accountability, while the women ended up taking the brunt of the fallout. The more things change… To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

We made it to the finale of “Bachelor In Paradise”: the reboot. As our final couples ponder the question of love or money, Sean and Allyshia make a chaotic return to the Hotel Azura to wage the failing-est political campaign in Paradise history. But for two couples, the rom-com vibes remain high. Who will choose love? Who will choose money? And will a few lucky folks get both?

At long last, we can finally put season 7 of “Love Island USA” to bed. Andy Cohen and Ariana Madix did their level best to pull out some emotional truths and reflections from the season 7 cast, in a two-hour reunion special. Rachelle Hampton of “Normal Gossip” joins Emma to discuss the unseen footage, Nicolandria, Austin’s inability to speak, and, of course, Huda’s fractured relationships with most of the cast – specifically Olandria and Chelley. We also get into the gossip that has dropped since the reunion was filmed regarding the status of Pepe and Iris and Amaya and Bryan’s relationships.

The penultimate episode of “Bachelor In Paradise” has one major goal: Eliminate as many couples as possible so we can speed-run right into a finale next week. And it almost gets there! After a regular elimination mid-episode, the show leaves us on the brink of a double elimination. In between, the couples have a camping trip that features broken equipment and supersized bugs — and stick literal daggers into each other’s figurative backs.

“Bachelor” recapping legend and “Last Week Tonight” writer Ali Barthwell rejoins the pod to discuss the losingest political campaign in “Bachelor in Paradise” history: Sean’s Parliament of Paradise, a would-be alliance that immediately alienates friend and foe alike. But at least it unintentionally delivers something we haven’t seen before – Spencer’s fiery, strategic side. Plus, Sean asks Kat to pick her most favoritest friend, and he doesn’t like the outcome!

Rachel Recchia is back for the second half of our interview! During this chat we dig into her feelings on the winners of “Perfect Match” season 3, how all of the couples left things at the end of filming, and whether she’s single now. We also got to hear her reflect on the differences between her “Bachelor” and “Perfect Match” experiences, whether she’d ever go on a dating show again, and what her life looks like now.

“Perfect Match” season 3 has come to an end, and like all seasons of this Netflix universe crossover show, the final stretch is inherently anticlimactic. And yet, we still had a lot to say about it! True drama ensues at the last mixer, all of our final 5 couples go on questionably romantic dates, and then the group gathers to vote for the titular Perfect Match. Plus, there’s a sneaky post-script credits sequence that really brings the narrative together.

Former Bachelorette Rachel Recchia joins Love To See It this week for the first of a two-part interview digging into her experience filming “Perfect Match” season 3! She opens up about her side of her short-lived match with Clayton and its sudden end, her reactions to his postshow press tour – including what their “lifestyle differences” are – her other connections in the villa, and which couple she thought would go the distance.

Actor (“M3GAN 2.0”), podcaster (Landlines) and BFF of the pod Allison Williams makes her triumphant return to Love To See It – just in time to discuss the horror of being forced to agree with both Brian and Wells during an episode of “Bachelor In Paradise.” Brian goes rogue, doing some poor gameplay and violating Bro Code, in order to tell Bailey about Jeremy’s phone call to Susie. And absolute mayhem ensues as a result. We also discuss the need for more bombshells, the power of the female vote, and the Golden voting bloc.

Season 3 of “Perfect Match” is in full swing! We start off this episode by breaking down Clayton’s maddening non-apology podcast tour, then get into the new drop of episodes. With the men and women separated for mixers with the singles, a familiar pattern ensues: the women behave, to protect their relationships, and the men gleefully indulge in carnal delights the minute their partners are not physically present. We discuss the cheating, the lying, and the projection, and we ask ourselves: where do men find the audacity?

As Jesse keeps reminding us, this is the week where EVERYTHING CHANGES in Paradise. Instead of just finding love, the cast is now tasked with finding someone that they can pretend to enjoy enough to make it to the end and secure half a million dollars. The first challenge of this brave new world boosts some, like Jeremy and Bailey, while others, like Gary and Leslie, falter. Meanwhile, Brian is doing backroom deals with Jeremy instead of nurturing his connection with Parisa, and Jonathon is silently friend-zoning yet another woman. Pop Mystery Podcast’s Tess Barker joins us to get into it all!

“Perfect Match,” Netflix’s zany revolving door summer dating show, is officially back! And this time, there’s some non-Netflix talent in the mix, including two Bachelor Nation icons: Rachel Recchia and Clayton Echard. In this episode we discuss episodes 1-6, which means that a whole lot of love and drama occur. We get into Rachel and Clayton’s ill-fated reunion, AD and Ollie’s burgeoning love story, and Louis’ emergence as the most emotionally intelligent “Too Hot To Handle” sex idiot.

This week in Paradise, we have a few days of BIP normalcy before, as Jesse Palmer announces, “everything changes.” Lea, Nancy, and Faith get date cards, the whole gang engages in a very feathery mating ritual, and Allyshia arrives to stir up conflict between Dale and Kat. We’re joined by Wyatt Metzger, host of the BachMakers podcast to break it all down!

Good morning, islanders! Season 7’s time in the villa may be over, but the “Love Island” discourse continues. The cast has been making the podcast rounds, with Amaya and Huda sitting down on Call Her Daddy, Chelley and Olandria chatting with Keke Palmer, and more. And one interview in particular (*cough* Huda) has been fueling the drama. Meanwhile, the beloved season 6 cast has returned with the Bravo-style limited series “Beyond the Villa.” And to kick off today’s episode, we touch on some “Bachelor in Paradise” cast reactions and new hosting gigs for Bachelor stars.

It’s only been 8 days in Paradise, but so much is happening! The chyrons are cooking, people (namely Kat and Dale) are having extremely circular, potentially relationship-ending arguments, Jeremy and Bailey are sharing one piece of gum, Kathy is doing body shots, and the Goldens finally get a date card. “BIP” is finally feeling like (almost) paradise. This week, we have a pivotal rose ceremony where the Golden men’s numbers dwindle, and we get our first cross-generational friendship rose. But, as Jesse Palmer ominously informs us: everything is about to change. Is “Bachelor in Paradise” about to morph into “Bachelor Pad”?

“Bachelor in Paradise” season 10 is underway, with an epic FIVE-HOUR week: Monday night’s three-hour episode, followed by a cool two hours on Tuesday. ABC, please! We need a free night to do our laundry! But with the return of “Almost Paradise” (the remix) and snarky chyrons, not to mention some love geometry and Goldens who arrive ready to flirt, we’re starting to feel some of that “BIP” beach magic. These two episodes contain the show’s first-ever kissing challenge, the arrival of sapiosexual queen Jill Chin, the emotional wreckage of Justin and Susie’s breakup (which is, to Lexi’s point, clearly still quite fresh), heel turns from two of our most likable beach gentlemen, and so much more.

Season 7 of “Love Island USA” has limped to a conclusion, and the final was just as underwhelming as the season. Of the final four couples, the longest-standing couple only got together after Casa Amor – and by the time the winner was announced, they had already broken up. With every solid connection from the season booted from the villa, all our final contenders felt either forced, brand-new, or both. Out of this barren season, the only light was the indomitable Amaya Papaya, who found a path to self love and romantic love at the eleventh hour. And hey, we’ll always have the friendships.

This season of “Love Island USA” is an unmitigated mess. Nearly every strong connection has been thrown out of the villa, one of our central couples was partially disappeared (with good reason) this week, and the vibes are, overall… unsettling. But from the wreckage of this season, can something beautiful still be salvaged? A friends-to-lovers story, perhaps? An inspiring pro basketball team? Or maybe one, beautiful, triumphant, Papaya-shaped, very clean New York City pigeon will outlast us all.

I think you two are the funniest and most real too. I choose your Bachelor podcast first, before any of the others.

Obsessed with this show!! I love watching reality TV through a race informed, critical viewpoint. This show delves into the sociological implications of the Bachelor franchise and it's fascinating. Been listening for four years and won't stop anytime soon!

Taking yourselves way too seriously! I totally agree about the need for diversity etc but holy cow. Say what needs to be said then MOVE ON. When I want that kind of commentary I'll go to places like NPR. I come to The Bachelor for brainless fun.

The first half of this interview was great! While it was cool to hear from her, the portion with LeNease could've been way shorter.

I agree with some of the other more recent posts. I know you might have to review these shows for you career but it seems lately you watch more for all the ways to point out your platforms than for the entertainment. and there doesnt seem to be any enjoyment. sometimes it is ok to allow a show to be for heterosexual dating. especially since it seems to be pointing out just how off track it has become. maybe some good comes from these shows. and if even some people learn communication dos and don'ts from watching its could be slightly helpful. also, its ok for a heterosexual man or woman to want to find a realtionship and even marriage with another heterosexual. I believe that you both, as well as some of the people you have on your show, are in committed relationships. as a woman we should be free to make choices even if that is choosing to stay home with their children if it is an option and shouldnt be seen as less than.

I get what yall are trying to do, but yall take it too far sometimes. Saying someone's hair is great, who HAS AMAZING HAIR, isnt racist. Not every dang word that comes out of someone's mouth is racist. Chill on the racism, feminism before you scew too far, then lose the goodness of what you are trying to do
