As an iconic former Bachelor contestant, Sharleen brings her insider knowledge (combined with Andy's hilarious commentary) to deliver what are hands-down the best Reality TV recaps in the business.

    Caller 📞 Sessions! "Should I Invite My Sister On A Vacation I Know She Can't Afford?" - Ep 439

    It's CALLER DAY! 📞 Today we're joined by TWO lovely callers. Catherine is the youngest of 4, and she wishes to celebrate her big sister's big birthday with a big trip. But should she invite their middle sister, who is unlikely to be able to afford it, but who won't handle the FOMO well? Or should she keep the trip under wraps? Our second caller, Renee, deeply regrets welcoming her friend's annoying husband into her friend group. Is it possible to hit "backspace" on introducing friends to friends?
