They discuss who among the final three they think will make it to the end, and then discuss who they think will win it all!We are so close to finding out if Michelle will actually find true love - or if she'll just be on the cover of US magazine in January with the headline "Where did it all go wrong?"You don't want to miss this - tune in and listen!Support the show
2021-12-1645 minThe Most Dramatic Podcast YetEpisode Eight - The Men Tell PaulYou know we throw this word around a lot, the Men Tell All episode was EPIC!

Will you join them?Support the showFind us on Instagram @mostdramaticpodcastyet
2021-12-0953 minThe Most Dramatic Podcast YetEpisode Seven - Hometowns! (aka Muppets Hands Means I'm About to Cough)Your favourite hosts Christel Bartelse and Paul Constable are back! We're talking about hometown dates! Well, we're actually talking about hometown dates that aren't really hometown dates because they stay in Michelle's city - but that's fine.It's down to the final four men, and both Paul and Christel agree it's too tough to call on who's going to get the boot this week. Laughs are had, mostly at their own expense, but you really need to tune in to hear Christel and Paul discuss their favourite guilty pleasure. Especially if it's yours as well!
2021-12-0241 minThe Most Dramatic Podcast YetEpisode Six - Martin's Mansplaining Might Make Michelle MiserablePaul Constable and Christel Bartelse are back at discussing their favourite guilty pleasure, the Bachelorette. This weekend we are reminded that hometown dates are coming up, not once, not twice, not even just thrice! Michelle has a couple of one on one dates, and perhaps all doesn't go as planned. Martin continues to prove why he's better thought of as a mercenary for hire than a potential love mate. Please give us a listen!Support the showFind us on Instagram @mostdramaticpodcastyet
2021-11-2557 minThe Most Dramatic Podcast YetEpisode Five - You've Been Sent to the Bachmobile!!!Five episodes in, and hosts Christel Bartelse and Paul Constable are really getting excited. We're getting down to the final eleven men vying for a shot at being Michelle's husband, and thinks do heat up in Minnesota!!!Both Paul and Christel share their somewhat hazy memories of their time in Minnesota, and also marvel at the excitement of men who have never been there. Short man syndrome Chris S. sort of steals the plot in this episode, being a pretty whiny brat throughout, which somehow doesn't seem to impress Michelle too much (big surprise?)We h...
2021-11-1950 minThe Most Dramatic Podcast YetEpisode Four - Will Martin Be a Future Boom Boom Room Resident?!?Christel and I are back at it - and for this week's episode we discuss a bit of disappointment in the festivities. A slumber party? A walk in the woods? What was the budget for this week's show - $350?!? We still find moments to laugh, and to talk about things that probably shouldn't be discussed. Paul might be losing his love for Michelle Young, but Christel is quick to come to her defence. Can he be swayed back on to Team Bachelorette?And is Martin the next James Bond villain? Is there a To...
2021-11-1149 minThe Most Dramatic Podcast YetEpisode Three - Rodney Went From Apple Shirt to Nudity in No Time!Join hosts Christel Bartelse and Paul Constable as they dissect the latest episode of The Bachelorette. Things start off with a Top Gun tribute (Paul is on board!), yet the drama hits quickly as Peter "Doughboy" Whatever His Last Name Is gets all pissy with Will "Little Willie". Sparks fly, tensions mount, whip cream is used...this can only be The Bachelorette.Do they men find out who the "rat" of the group is? Does Rodney move past the "friend zone?" Are they really going to play the them from Top Gun that much?
2021-11-0450 minThe Most Dramatic Podcast YetEpisode Two - Seriously - who was that white guy?Christel and Paul are back at it, dissecting everyone's favourite guilty pleasure - The Bachelorette. Michelle Young continues to stun us in her outfits, but maybe less so in the choices of men she seems to be falling for.Why do smooth guys finish first? And does spelling really not count for anything anymore? Shuld eye juzt rite lyke dis frum now onn???Okay - let's stop that before our brains start to hurt!You didn't come here to get smarter - you came here for fun! Take a listen, relive y...

Hosts Christel Bartelse and Paul Constable are once again discussing their favourite guilty pleasure (and let's face it - yours as well) The Bachelor.

Episode one has Michelle meeting all her would be suitors (shout out to the two Canadian contestants Nayte and Chris!) The men try to one up each other in their first meeting opportunities; there are fire trucks big and small, ice cream trucks, a...

2021-10-0755 minThe Most Dramatic Podcast YetEpisode Nine - Snakes and ChurrosSounds like a weird game of Snakes and Ladders - but trust us - you would probably rather play the old school kids game than do what James and new dating option Anna had to go through on their date. Was the three hour episode worth it? Was it mostly just filler? Are Paul and Christel still talking about Chasen? Can anyone explain Ed's hair?If you love all things Bachelor, you'll love listening to what our hosts have to say about the latest goings on.Support the showFind us o...
2021-10-0155 minThe Most Dramatic Podcast YetEpisode Eight - Maybe Vah-Jay-Jay Tingles Aren't Enough?Christel and Paul are a bit disappointed in this last episode of the usually dramatic Bachelor in Paradise. It's not to say their isn't drama; just that this episode perhaps lacked in the extreme drama that regulars like Demi brought to the table.There's still a lot to discuss (we know these are getting longer - you'll just have to put aside more time for your guilty pleasure dissection this week). Ed is back (you don't remember him? Just think "Rocky Balboa come to life" and maybe you can picture him). Kendall and Joe still have to...
2021-09-2447 minThe Most Dramatic Podcast YetEpisode Seven - Who CLEANS the Boom Boom Room?!?So much to digest from this episode. Thankfully you have Christel Bartelse and Paul Constable to talk about the latest happenings of the magical place that is Bachelor in Paradise.

Does Kendra still have feelings for Grocery Store Joe?Questions without answers - Who cleans the Boom Boom Room? How many calories do you need to burn off to d...
2021-09-1748 minThe Most Dramatic Podcast YetEpisode Six - You had me at Tightass VIP Party!Things are heating up! Christel Bartelse and Paul Constable are back to discuss the show that is quickly taking over their lives. They probably couldn't tell you who's running in their riding for the upcoming election, but they can tell you that Chris and Alana (if you're scratching your head and saying WHO? don't worry - so were we) are focus of everyone's wrath this episode. Because if we've learned anything on BIP, it's okay for you to dump your partner for someone else, it's NEVER okay for you to be dumped for someone else. Questions we t...
2021-09-1153 minThe Most Dramatic Podcast YetEpisode Five - Bend It Like BrendanFan favourite Brendan spent the latter half of this night trying to explain why his manipulating ways should be forgiven as he did it all for love. Didn't Meatloaf try and tell us we could do anything for love - but we shouldn't do this?!? Hosts Christel Bartelse and Paul Constable discuss this and many other aspects of what made Episode Six of Bachelor in Paradise the EPISODE OF THE SEASON!!! Kendall returns, Kenny continues to be a part of an isosceles love triangle (not sure if that's mathematically possible but we think it sounds cool), and with Pieper's...

2021-09-0347 minThe Most Dramatic Podcast YetEpisode Three - Dumpster FireThings are falling apart in Paradise. Christel and Paul try to dissect where it all starts going wrong. Will there be a fight between Aaron and Thomas? What is a smoke bro and is Paul actually paying attention to the episodes? Can a description of Connor's outfit actually do it justice or should everyone just Google it right now to get in on the joke?Things are catching fire - but not in a good way! Take a listen - and try not to laugh whenever you hear the name Chasen.Support the show
