Besties, Babbles & Booze Vena Boddy & Mallory Fraley

Well, it's all wrapped up and over.  What a season!  This has been one of Mallory and I's favorite runs of this show in quite some time.  Twists, turns, great contestants, good lead.  We are thrilled that Katie got her man in the end.  Honestly though, we really were just excited to watch all the Greg drama.  I mean.....c'mon, Queen Katie went off on him.  Though she probably could've held back a teensy bit, she did make super valid points.  And I think we all agree that something was weird with that break-up convo from the previous week.  Good ole Greg though said he had no regrets, which was interesting.  



While we were watching the finale unfold, we sipped on Ketel One Vodka Botanicals: Cucumber and Mint, mixed with some soda water and fresh cucumbers.  Light, breezy, refreshing.  Since the show was three hours long, we needed something simple that we could drink on all night and not feel gross after.  These Botanical blends of Ketel One are perfect for just that.  



Thanks for listening all these weeks, we can't wait to dig into Bachelor in Paradise with you all! Cheers 

Hometowns....blah blah blah, what can we say right.  Katie meets the family's, they do mock hometowns, all the guys are struggling with should I or shouldn't I say I love you.  Same old stuff, different day.  EXCEPT dear old sad puppy dog Greg.  Listen to Mal and I react to Greg's (what we think at least) huger overreaction.  I guess when the going gets tough, Greg plays the blame game and runs.  Us ladies were not here for it.  We get what he was trying to say, but that could have been handled a bit more adult like. 



In this weeks episode, we kept it sober....I know I know.  It was a long week and an impromptu podcast sesh.  We weren't prepared.  I guess that means we are drinking doubles Monday night for the big F_I_N_A_L_E.  Tune in Monday on Instagram for some live action.  

Mallory and I can't even believe we are here!  This season has completely blown by and we have loved every minute...well almost every minute.  Before we dig in, let's chat about our cocktail of the week...the all new Tanqueray Sevilla Orange mixed with some Fever Tree soda water .  We are both gin girls, so it was great finding a fun new summer spin on our classic fave.  It was soft, summery, and perfect for sipping out on Mal's patio.  

This weeks episode started with some tears and drama with Michael A, I mean we all knew it was coming right?!?  And we totally applaud him for putting his son first.  

The Men Tell all definitely started out heated, but then just was kinda so so.  Our final 3 guys are ready for hometowns, and all rest of the men are in a deep bromance.  I think our favorite part was the deleted scenes, even the bloopers were a bit blah.  

We can't wait for the next two episodes.....who is it going to be????

Here we are breaking down episode two of the Netflix docu-series, The Innocence Files.  This episode will for sure get you a bit teary eyed, so be prepared.  Mallory and I also figure out, that from episode 1 to episode 2....we predicted a ton of what was going to happen.  I'm sure a police department will be calling us soon for detective positions.  

We did both agree that we will be binging the next few episodes, because it's just too good, and then posting as one final podcast for this season of the show.  I mean, documentaries just suck you in like that.

Before we sat down to recap this episode, us ladies went the The Laundry in Fenton, MI to enjoy some Christmas in July by indulging in their "Bad Santa" cocktail.  Normally this is a once per year drink offering, but due to being shut down for COVID-19 all winter, the fine folks at The Laundry decided it would be fun to bring back this summer.  Buffalo Trace bourbon, cranberry-hibiscus syrup, lime, and rosemary all make us gals dream of sugarplums and winter nights.  

Now onto the episode...

OMG! This week was full of twists, turns, and super awkward dates.  We are absolutely loving the classic layout this season, give us all the rose ceremonies at the end of the episodes.  Still loving this season and Katie.  Mallory and I are making our predictions for the winner this week so tune in to hear our juicy theories.

As always, subscribe and leave us a review to let us know what you are loving and what you want more of.

From crazy weird challenges, to 5 men going home this week....we felt like this episode would be way more interesting than it really was.  I guess we were just looking for the drama, and everything was pretty tame-ish.  Is it just Mal and I, or are the men really in their feels this season?!  We love it though, and it's refreshing to see some emotion from the guys.  

Also....we would love someone to go through and actually count all the names that Connor came up with for "withholding the handshake".
