Welcome to Episode 46 of A Beautiful Podcast to Fall in Love, TV Guide's unofficial Bachelor Nation show. This week, former The Bachelor and Bachelor in Paradise cast member Jacqueline Trumbull and TV Guide Reviews & Recommendations Editor Liam Mathews recap Episode 5 of The Bachelor Presents: Listen to Your Heart. The big question on Liam's mind is if our beautiful contestants got to hook up on their fancy tour buses. Jacqueline doesn't think they did. Other topics of discussion include Rudi and Matt's very compelling arc this episode, the musical legacy of Shaggy, what seems off about Trevor, and Natascha and Ryan's sad but understandable elimination. It was a disappointing outcome from a disappointing performance, but what are you gonna do?  Follow Jacqueline on social media: https://twitter.com/trumbullina https://www.instagram.com/trumbullina/  Follow Liam on social media: https://twitter.com/liamaathews https://www.instagram.com/liammathews/  For more on The Bachelor: https://www.tvguide.com/tvshows/the-bachelor/191811/ Learn more about your ad choices.

Welcome to Episode 45 of A Beautiful Podcast to Fall in Love, TV Guide's unofficial Bachelor Nation show. This week, former The Bachelor and Bachelor in Paradise cast member Jacqueline Trumbull and TV Guide Reviews & Recommendations Editor Liam Mathews recap Episode 4 of The Bachelor Presents: Listen to Your Heart. Topics discussed include Julia and Sheridan's breakup, Brandon and Savannah's breakup, Natascha's charming savagery and absolutely brilliant gameplay, who the hosts would like to duet with and what song they would sing, and much more. Fellas, never condescendingly call a woman "sweetie" like Brandon did. It'll make her feel annoyed and angry and make you look like a big jerk. Just don't do it. Here's the song by Danny that Jacqueline mentions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iktL6sT9Fi8 Follow Jacqueline on social media: https://twitter.com/trumbullina https://www.instagram.com/trumbullina/  Follow Liam on social media: https://twitter.com/liamaathews https://www.instagram.com/liammathews/  For more on The Bachelor: https://www.tvguide.com/tvshows/the-bachelor/191811/ Learn more about your ad choices.

Welcome to Episode 44 of A Beautiful Podcast to Fall in Love, TV Guide's unofficial Bachelor Nation show. This week, former The Bachelor and Bachelor in Paradise cast member Jacqueline Trumbull and TV Guide Reviews & Recommendations Editor Liam Mathews are joined by artist Janie Korn to recap Episode 3 of The Bachelor Presents: Listen to Your Heart. Topics discussed include the strangeness of Listen to Your Heart's new rose ceremony format, who sounded good singing together (Rudi and Matt) and who didn't (Trevor and Jamie), Kesha's fingernail jewelry and how she does certain necessary tasks with a chain dangling off her hand, the compelling clarity with which Julia was wrong in her crusade against "fake" Savannah and Brandon, and Danny's shockingly popular and surely lucrative career as a musical impressionist on YouTube.

Welcome to Episode 43 of A Beautiful Podcast to Fall in Love, TV Guide's unofficial Bachelor Nation show. Former The Bachelor and Bachelor in Paradise cast member Jacqueline Trumbull and TV Guide Reviews & Recommendations Editor Liam Mathews recap the Episode 2 of The Bachelor Presents: Listen to Your Heart. This week they're joined by Jacqueline's friend and cast mate Jenna Cooper, who last week was vindicated from false reports of infidelity that ended her relationship with Jordan Kimball in 2018. Jenna talks in even more depth than she did on Reality Steve's podcast about how bizarre the trolling that destroyed her reputation was, and what she knows about the people behind it. She has an idea for a movie based on her experience, because the story took so many all the twists and turns -- and it has a happy ending, because she's cleared her name and can move on with her life, just in time for her baby (she's due in five weeks). Other topics include Jacqueline's role in helping Jenna, how Jenna still hasn't heard from her ex Jordan, who turned on her when she needed his support the most, and her remarkably positive attitude about the whole ordeal. Oh, and they talk about Episode 2 of Listen to Your Heart, too.

Welcome to Episode 42 of A Beautiful Podcast to Fall in Love, TV Guide's unofficial Bachelor Nation show. This week, former The Bachelor and Bachelor in Paradise cast member Jacqueline Trumbull and TV Guide Reviews & Recommendations Editor Liam Mathews recap the series premiere of The Bachelor Presents: Listen to Your Heart. Jacqueline and Liam are joined by TV Guide editor Megan Vick, who was there for Jamie and Ryan's date, the first one in Listen to Your Heart history. Megan talks about what we didn't see on the show. Other topics discussed include first impressions of Listen to Your Heart, Rudi and Matt's whirlwind relationship, the state of Bachelor Nation in the coronavirus era, and, of course, Michael Todd. He's got the hot touch!

Welcome to Episode 41 of A Beautiful Podcast to Fall in Love, TV Guide's unofficial Bachelor Nation show. This week, former The Bachelor and Bachelor in Paradise cast member Jacqueline Trumbull and TV Guide Reviews & Recommendations Editor Liam Mathews recap Part 2 of the finale of Peter Weber's season of The Bachelor. The season finale was all about Barbara Weber, who destroyed her family on live TV because she liked Peter's original choice, Hannah Ann, and didn't like Madison, with whom he's going to explore a possible relationship. Barb turned her back on her son when he needed her support the most because he made a choice she didn't agree with, even though it's his life, not hers. We've never seen an ending quite like this, from Peter and Hannah Ann's ill-advised engagement to their breakup to Madi's return and Barb's horrifying hatred of the woman her son loves. At least Hannah Ann and Madison came out of this looking good, because no one in Peter's family did.

Welcome to Episode 40 of A Beautiful Podcast to Fall in Love, TV Guide's unofficial Bachelor Nation show. This week, former The Bachelor and Bachelor in Paradise cast member Jacqueline Trumbull and TV Guide Reviews & Recommendations Editor Liam Mathews recap Part 1 of the finale of Peter Weber's season of The Bachelor. This week, Jacqueline and Liam are joined by comedian Jared Freid to mostly talk about Peter's mom Barbara. What else is there to talk about, really? She stole the show with her over-the-top emotional theatrics about Hannah Ann and Madison, and Jacqueline, Liam, and Jared go deep on how Peter's relationship with his mother explains so much of who he is as the Bachelor and on the general dynamic between mothers and sons. And Jacqueline shares what it's like to talk to the show's in-house therapist. Other topics of discussion include whether Madi was right to break up with Peter (definitely), predictions for what will happen in Part 2 of the finale, and Peter's bad outfits this episode.

Welcome to Episode 39 of A Beautiful Podcast to Fall in Love, TV Guide's unofficial Bachelor Nation show. This week, former The Bachelor and Bachelor in Paradise cast member Jacqueline Trumbull and TV Guide Reviews & Recommendations Editor Liam Mathews recap The Women Tell All episode of Peter Weber's season of The Bachelor. This week, Jacqueline and Liam ponder a very important question: Should The Bachelor stop doing The Women Tell All? (You know the answer.) Other topics discussed include the whereabouts of show-skipper Kelley, the rose ceremony and the departure of Victoria F., and the show going easy on Victoria F. and Peter himself in order to give itself moral justification for Rachel Lindsay's anti-online harassment segment. Jacqueline shares her own experience with online trolls, and gives advice on how to handle hate, which is what her mother told her: "Try to see it as interesting, like you're an anthropologist." And then they share their excitement for new Bachelorette Clare Crawley!

Welcome to Episode 38 of A Beautiful Podcast to Fall in Love, TV Guide's unofficial Bachelor Nation show. This week, former The Bachelor and Bachelor in Paradise cast member Jacqueline Trumbull and TV Guide Reviews & Recommendations Editor Liam Mathews recap Episode 9 of Peter Weber's season of The Bachelor. Jacqueline and Liam are joined by Jacqueline's friend and fellow Bachelor alum Kendall Long as they recap the fascinating Fantasy Suites episode. They start with a long, in-depth discussion of Madison and Peter's dilemma, where Madison doesn't want Peter to sleep with other women but Peter has to gather all the information he needs to make a decision about who he's going to propose to. Neither Madison nor Peter are wrong, which makes their conflict uncommonly compelling. Then they talk about Hannah Ann and Victoria F., Kendall's perspective as someone who's been on a Fantasy Suite date, and the possible Bachelor senior citizen spin-off, which Jacqueline and Kendall convince Liam is a great idea. Finally, Kendall talks about her recent breakup with Joe Amabile, whether or not she'd do Paradise again, and her own podcast, Down to Date.
