Digging Deeper: Doug, Taylor Frankie Paul's Bachelorette ring winner, tells Bachelor Happy Hour about their post-show break and the happy couple weekend she kept dodging.BachelorClues and PaceCase dig into Doug's Bachelor Happy Hour interview with Rachel Recchia. Doug says he asked Taylor Frankie Paul for a three-day break a week or two after they got home, not right after filming, which matters given that she was with Dakota Mortensen the day after filming ended. He also says Taylor stopped responding to the group chat producers used to schedule their happy couple weekend, and that communication fell apart from December to January. That sends BachelorClues into a defense of Bachelorette showrunner Scott Teti, who inherited the biggest star in Hulu's history and then a ring winner she wouldn't text back. Before the clips, the hosts pitch a dating show called Midlife Crisis, and BachelorClues reviews the new Carrie series. This is a preview of the full episode, which is available in the bottom of the pit on Patreon.CHAPTERS(00:00) Intro(01:04) Today's Clips: Bachelor Happy Hour, The Viall Files, and Ben Higgins(02:42) Midlife Crisis: A Dating Show Pitch(05:06) BachelorClues Reviews Carrie(09:14) Doug on His Break from Taylor Frankie Paul(13:19) Doug Says Taylor Dodged the Happy Couple Weekend(14:17) Pity Scott Teti, The Bachelorette's ShowrunnerEPISODE FAQWho asked for the break, Doug or Taylor Frankie Paul?On Bachelor Happy Hour, Doug says he asked Taylor Frankie Paul for a three-day break about a week or two after they got home from filming The Bachelorette.Did Taylor Frankie Paul skip her Bachelorette happy couple weekend?According to Doug, Taylor stopped responding in the group chat used to schedule happy couple weekends, though the two did eventually meet up.ABOUT GAME OF ROSESGame of Roses is the reality TV podcast that breaks down The Bachelor franchise, Love Island USA, The Traitors, and more as a game.

The Traitors: New Blood Season 1 Episode 7 recap: Victor corners Tomica at the round table, she throws fellow traitor Katie under the bus, and a surprise pardon power leaves Victor's fate on a cliffhanger.BachelorClues and PaceCase call it their favorite episode of the season so far, even as they watch a castle full of players make massive errors. Victor refuses to let Fruitgate go, accusing Tomica to her face at breakfast and tipping his hand with his "gut the castle" line before Mark is found murdered. The black-heart scarecrow mission knocks Victor, Katie, Morgan, and Wyatt out of the running for the mystery power. Then, in a one-on-one, Tomica tells Victor that Katie is a traitor, earning PaceCase's Error of the Game. At the round table, Victor uses that slip against her for PaceCase's Play of the Game, while BachelorClues gives his to Joe Vanella's roughage defense for eating apples. The vote splits six ways, Katie votes for her own fellow traitor, and Victor lands in the circle of truth just as Alan Cumming reveals the pardon.

From there, Joe doubles down on being "the apple guy" while Victor pieces together the apples, the fruit offers, and the murder in plain sight. Victor eavesdrops on suspected traitors, Abby L tips Joe off about the Fruit Gate theory, and Katie floats Michael's name to a crowd.
