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 the finale of The Bachelor Presents: Listen to Your Heart. They're joined by LTYH winners Chris Watson and Bri Stauss to talk about that very special night in February, what their relationship and lives have been like in quarantine, and their self-titled debut album Chris and Bri, which is now available to stream on Spotify, Apple Music, or wherever you get your tunes. They wrote the album's original songs and recorded it during quarantine. They aren't engaged, but they're still together, and making beautiful music.

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?

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.

Welcome to Episode 37 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 8 of Peter Weber's season of The Bachelor. Jacqueline and Liam are joined by Bachelor reporter Reality Steve help recap hometowns and give more insight into to the "Victoria F. is an alleged homewrecker" situation. Reality Steve played an unacknowledged role in Peter's ex Merissa going on the show and spilling the tea on Victoria, and he explains what happened --and what you didn't see. Also discussed: the interesting conflict of Madison saving herself for marriage while dating Peter, one of the horniest Bachelors of all time; the show's hairsplitting "falling in love" and "in love;" and Jacqueline not knowing who Charles Barkley is.

Welcome to Episode 36 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 7 of Peter Weber's season of The Bachelor. This week, Jacqueline and Liam would like you to draw your attention to the lovely fan account a listener made, @abeautifulpodcast. The way that this podcast is unofficial to The Bachelor, this Instagram account is unofficial to the podcast. That's called the chain of content. Topics discussed on the episode itself include potential Bachelorette candidates (what if it was Demi?), the appeal of Madi (the hosts don't really get it), the fall of Kelley (she's still cool, though), and much, much more.

Welcome to Episode 35 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 6 of Peter Weber's season of The Bachelor. Jacqueline and Liam have resigned themselves to the fact that Peter is a bad Bachelor, which frees them up to take the season for what it is: A case study in weak leadership. But hey, at least we're getting some entertainingly weird stuff like Peter's out-of-nowhere breakup with Victoria P., his desire to see Hannah Ann cry, and Tammy and Mykenna's final fight. Plus, Jacqueline has some really great behind-the-scenes insight about one of the show's drama-building techniques.

Welcome to Episode 34 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 Peter Weber's season of The Bachelor. It's a pretty bleak week, as Jacqueline and Liam are disheartened by Peter's poor performance as the lead and lack of likability among the remaining women. The season is suffering from a serious lack of depth and a surfeit of bad attitudes. It's impossible to root for Victoria F., for her actions onscreen and off; the same goes for Sydney, who seems like a bully. The only woman who seems like a reasonable person is Kelley, and we're rooting for her to get off the show and live a normal life while she still can.

Welcome to Episode 33 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 Peter Weber's season of The Bachelor. Jacqueline and Liam are joined by Bachelor meme extraordinaire Brett Vergara to recap this very dramatic episode. Topics discussed include Peter's weak leadership that's allowing the house to spin out of control (compare him to Hannah B., who shut that nonsense DOWN when her guys were out of line) and Alayah's strategically impeccable move to undermine Victoria P. and get back into the game. But mostly, this episode is about the incredible story of Victoria F. and Chase Rice, the musical guest with whom she has a history. (Though not much of a history, according to him). What a crazy thing.

Welcome to Episode 32 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 3 of Peter Weber's season of The Bachelor. This week, Jacqueline and Liam discuss which mispronunciation was funnier, "finasco" or "lingery" (spoiler alert: it's "lingery"), as well as several other much less important subjects. In the Alayah vs. Sydney feud, no one wins, but Peter loses the most. Alayah may be fake, but Peter still thinks she's pretty. It's unclear if the other women think #ChampagneGate is funny, but they should, because it's ridiculous, and Jacqueline has a theory about why they're not laughing about it based on her on experiences with the producers. And Victoria P.'s real story of her painful upbringing being used in service of a Bachelor cliche was disappointing but expected.

Welcome to Episode 31 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 2 of Peter Weber's season of The Bachelor. This week, Jacqueline and Liam break down every angle of #ChampagneGate, the most significant Bachelor event of our time, from what Kelsey was thinking to how the producers may have orchestrated the moment to what might happen if other signature Bach elements had a "Champagne Crisis." Plus, a closer look at what's going on with Victoria F., the season's least-likable character so far, and an analysis of Peter's undeniable sex appeal.

Welcome to Episode 30 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 premiere of Peter Weber's season of The Bachelor. Jacqueline and Liam are joined by TV Guide Senior Editor Sadie Gennis, who watched The Bachelor for the first time ever and gives her thoughts as a new visitor to Bachelor Nation. Spoiler alert: She gets why people like it! Plus, they review Peter's performance (high marks!), get to the bottom of what rubs people the wrong way about Hannah Ann (she seems like she's following a script!), and wade waist-deep into the controversy around Victoria F., who's already developing a reputation for drama, onscreen and off. And all that before they talk about Peter and Hannah B.'s emotional reunion. It's gonna be a good season!

Welcome to Episode 29 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 preview Peter Weber's season of The Bachelor. Jacqueline and Liam dig deep into the cast bios, which are chockfull of hilarious details, such as: Alayah's favorite social network is Reddit; Lexi would rather die than be trapped in a room full of frogs; and Savannah used to have a cancer ribbon tattoo on her ribs, but had it removed before trying out for the Houston Texans cheerleading corps. Also, Liam thinks Katrina looks like the Peloton Wife, which is really neither here nor there. Then the hosts predict a final four, talk about what they're excited for this season (a Bachelor the girls are into!), and give a brief update on Jacqueline's love life.
