Reality TV is at its best when it's a bit cringy — you just need to lean into it. Brooklyn-based married couple Hollie and Will watch lots of TV (with The Bachelor franchise at the epicenter of their viewing calendar) and talk about it even more. As they break down the nuances of their fav shows, they share their philosophies on what makes bad TV oh so good. This podcast is also cheaper than marriage therapy, so there's some working through issues automatically baked in. A win-win!

    Tall men, real jobs!

    Anyone else wanting to deep dive into LinkedIn to check out Michelle's crop of Bachelors?   This is Hard to Watch is back with fresh takes on how Michelle can walk down all of those steps so gracefully,  skepticism about finding that Bachelorette guide book, and general annoyance at the co-host situation.

    Wow, that was hard to watch

    Please excuse the clinking of the ice in our whiskey glasses throughout this episode, we needed a lot to get through this one.  The worst gift in dating history, Chris Harrison is overmatched, and Will gets riled up when I suggest that Jojo bombed her hosting audition,  (and if anyone knows where I can buy Jojo's "Mrs. Higgins" jersey from her 1:1 on Ben's season, pls DM me).

    Over-indexing on turtlenecks and other mysteries

    We ponder what happened to those mysterious Jojo Fletcher/ Tayshia scenes, why the Amish should be kept far away from anything to do with spas, and how ridiculous Will would look in Matt James's wardrobe.  Also- the worst "I love you" response in Bachelor history.  And how do you get access to  Tyler Perry's VRBO listing?

    Best use of open bar in a Home Town goes to...

    Matt James keeps his cards close to his chest with not a one ask for a blessing, while still giving us some gross kissing vantage points. Will also reminisces about Rob Estes's acting career in Silk Stalkings and Melrose Place.  What a wild ride!

    Pardon the interruption (of Heather Martin)

    Hot takes on: Hannah Brown (busybody); Group Date (excruciating); Final Four (likable); Tantric Yoga (Avoid); and Chris Harrison (oy vey).

    Oh my god, it's Temecula Road!

    Will struggles with not being "over the moon" with Matt James, while Hollie is offended by the ribbed white turtleneck. We both talk about our hatred of bowling! As we say during the episode, if you wanted something deeper, listen to The Economist.

    Chris Harrison's athleisure wear and other things

    We discuss why Victoria's too cray for Paradise, how Brittany might hold the record for taking out the most women, and how did Franco not make an appearance on the "Pretty Woman" date.  A special aside about Brooks Marks' tracksuits makes an appearance.

    "Thank you, Chris Harrison"

    I had to meditate before recording this episode.  We share our Matt James pros and cons , celebrate Anna's mental breakdown as predicted by Will on episode one, analyze Love Island's impact on the format, and discuss who has aged better-- Will or Ben Higgins?  As Ben says, "it's been a bit."
