Rose Plate Special: Bachelor Joey - Episode 11
Did we get something that's never happened on The Bachelor before? Yes. Was it the most dramatic finale we could have expected? No. But that's what we love about this show, right? Sometimes we get a fence jump, and sometimes we get a red herring with a bit of girls' girling on the side. All in all, it was a great season and we can't wait to see more from Jenn, and hopefully Maria joins everyone in Paradise soon!

Rose Plate Special: Bachelor Joey - Episode 10
It feels so refreshing to finally have a great Bachelor again and a wonderful group of women. Maria demonistrated what it means to be a girl's girl, even when your delivery isn't totally perfect. We have a hard conversation about bullying (hey, Bachelor producers, how about you offer more to the people on your show?), sit through bloopers, and speculate on what the finale will bring.

Rose Plate Special: Bachelor Joey - Episode 9
The biggest news in this week's episode is how good Sammi's eagle eyes are (near-sightedness and lazy eye WHERE?)

We've got Daisy in Dreams, while Kelsey and Rachel are in Secrets. What gives?

We've got the same (or an extremely similar) date set-up with the leap of faith as Gabby and Erich took.

The one redeeming source of goodwill (but also drama) came from the Golden Bachelor women joining to impart wisdom and just the right amount of paranoia in Kelsey to maybe make her crack? We'll find out next week!

Rose Plate Special: Bachelor Joey - Episode 8
Another week of Sammi being right. Wow, it never gets old! We don't have a lot to say about hometowns, but we sure talk about long walks and free channels a lot in this one. Now we wait to see if our Maria is served justice as the next Bachelorette.

Rose Plate Special: Bachelor Joey - Episode 7 and Spring 2024 Jilly Box!
For those who want the YouTube, go over to our page!

This is a very special week for you, our loyal listeners, because it's a crossover episode! We have the Spring 2024 Jilly Box, plus our recounting of Week 7 of Joey's journey. The week before hometowns always means crunch time, but in our opinion, this was a slower episode compared to all the drama that had surfaced in the previous weeks. Sammi had a chance to show off her morning-themed Jilly Box goods and also gloat about being right on about who would stay and who would go. Steve just got to look on with amazement that JILLY HAS DONE IT AGAIN!

Rose Plate Special: Bachelor Joey - Episode 6
Bienvenue, loyal listeners! We are in Montreal for this week's episode, or as we meanly called it, Europe Junior. It's all jokes over here, what do we know, we're in flyover country! What a banner week for Maria! Other good things happened as well. We make our predictions for hometowns and look forward to another stellar week.

P.S., Jilly Box is dropping soon!
