This week, Kelsea and Allison are joined by a very special co-host, June Diane Raphael ("Grace and Frankie," "Burning Love"), to dissect everything that happened on "The Women Tell All." Using all of the ammo she's collected throughout the season, June takes on "Can We Make Ben Look Bad?" and does a much better job than we've been doing. We play "Hey Bachelor, We Need To Talk," because there was a chicken at "The Women Tell All" and we cannot ignore it. Finally, Bachelor Nation Correspondent Martha Sorren gives us some intel from Ben leading into next week's finale, and we predict how Ben's "I Love You"s will affect his future.

Season 20, Week 9: We Need To Talk About Chris Harrison's Face

Wed, 02 Mar 2016 19:54:34 GMT

It was the week of the "I love you" and everyone was saying it, including Ben! In a politically spirited episode, Kelsea and Allison compare the "Bachelorette" contenders to candidates in the presidential race — who is playing the part, who is just the Trump, and who would be unpredictable? We also take a page out of "The Hunger Games" playbook and play "Real or Not Real." And, it wouldn't be a fair episode if we didn't give Chris Harrison the attention he deserves for his reaction to learning Ben said those three magic words to TWO women.

EXCLUSIVE Interview With Emily Maynard From 'Bachelorette' Season 8

Mon, 29 Feb 2016 17:02:43 GMT

In a very special episode of Will You Accept This Podcast?, Allison and "Bachelor" Nation Correspondent Martha Sorren speak to "The Bachelorette" Season 8 star Emily Maynard Johnson. After two seasons of the franchise and two proposals, Emily has moved beyond her Bachelorette life and is intimately telling readers about her journey in her new book "I Said Yes: My Story of Heartbreak, Redemption, and True Love." She shares with us the highs and lows of her time on both shows — and even reveals if she ever read the diary Arie left for her at her door.

Season 20, Week 8: Meet The Parents, Feat. Ashley Iaconetti!

Thu, 25 Feb 2016 21:07:00 GMT

This week, Ben travels to the hometowns of the four remaining women and gets grilled by moms, dads, sisters, and brothers about his relationships. Even though he's been unbreakable thus far, Allison and Martha (filling in for Kelsea, who ventured off to Pig Island) take another stab at "Make Ben Look Bad: The Meet The Parents Edition." Plus, we're joined by a very special correspondent during "Report from 'Bachelor' Nation," fan-favorite Ashley Iaconetti, who gives us the rundown on the three women left standing and who she'd like to see on the next "Bachelorette." Hint: Her ideal Bachelorette has great hair.

Season 20, Week 7: It Takes A Village

Wed, 17 Feb 2016 16:56:45 GMT

We head home to Warsaw, Indiana where the remaining women get to see the small town that raised Ben. Ben's connections with Lauren B. and Jojo continue to grow stronger. Meanwhile, his date with Emily goes south so quickly it was almost hard to watch. Allison and Kelsea, once again, attempt to "Make Ben Look Bad," which has proven impossible this far into the season, and we break down just what might be happening in that dramatic promo for the remainder of the season. Plus, did Ben totally spoil the season with his blog post this week? Bachelor Nation correspondent Martha Sorren presents evidence that Ben might have pulled a Kaitlyn Bristowe and gave away the show’s ending.

We also introduce a hopefully-for-the-last-time segment, "You're A Mean Girl!" This episode also features an EXCLUSIVE interview with former "Bachelor," "Bachelor Pad," and "Bachelor In Paradise" alum Tenley Molzahn, who spills on the new love of her life.

Elsewhere, we say a bittersweet goodbye to Jubilee, air our grievances about the no-makeup wake-up, discuss Olivia's "dragon breath," and introduce a one-time-only segment in which "The Bachelor" meets the Iowa Caucus.
