Drama BondedJames is the number one guy in VPR and we are over The ValleyWe are still podcasting, just on a different timeline, thank you for hanging with us! We are excited to see James really bringing not only number one Guy energy, but a lot of maturity everyone else is missing, Tom manages to surprise us still by being the worst and The Valley is becoming a little too hard to watch; we talk about their attitudes towards sex and what it means to be a empath (spoiler: Kristin is not one). #popculturepodcast #womenwhopodcast #vpr #rachelgoesrogue #rachelleviss #scandoval #vanderpumprules #tomsandoval #tomtom #bachelor #thebachelor #bachelornation #willyouaccepthisrose #bachelorabc #bravo #vprrecap #bachelorrecap #t...2024-04-281h 48

Drama BondedRage and no ranch - Bachelor wrapup - VPR S11E10&11 - The Valley S1E3&4We missed you! And we are back to dive into some rough waters of the last couple episodes of VPR and The Valley. We revisit episode 10 where Ariana shows her true feelings at a water tasting and then at Scheana’s beach outing. Then we get into Schwartz and Katie both being into Tori, meanwhile Joe is wondering WTF is up with Schwartz’s green bracelet decision. Meanwhile on The Valley, everyone is coming at Kristen for something everyone seemed to be involved in. We are still getting the hang of this crew, but thus far love Luke! 2024-04-151h 17

Drama BondedRecapping a lost episode - Sloppy secrets in Vanderpump Rules S11E9 - The Valley S1E1&2 - THE FINALE of The Bachelor S28E11Well, first off we recap last weeks episode that was lost, and something finally happened on Vanderpump Rules! We breakdown this packed episode that had everything from long-time secrets, to awkward legal conversations, to confusing friendship efforts, to what could be viewed as a “revenge bang”. We then share with you our first impressions of the first couple episodes of “The Valley”. Finally, it’s Joey’s finale, and it did not disappoint. Daisy navigates the finale week with so much strength and love. We have loved this season, and are sad to see it end! #popculture...2024-03-311h 09

Drama BondedThe Scheana Show - Vanderpump Rules S11E7 & Fantasy suites - The Bachelor S28E9Our eyes might be stuck in a permanent eye roll after watching another week of Scheana’s efforts to make Ariana and Tom’s breakup about her. She’s really milking this grieving process. Lisa and production continue to champion Tom’s redemption arc, so we pour ourselves another glass to help us get through the bullshit. Meanwhile Joey is with the final three women in Mexico for “fantasy suites”. After he tells two of the women that he’s falling in love with them, we really question how this will all play out. Hearts will be broken. #po...2024-03-161h 19

Drama BondedWhat about me - Vanderpump Rules S11E6 & Joey meets the families - Bachelor S28E8This week on Drama Bonded, we review some Easter candy and discuss aging and social media. Then Lake Tahoe gets more complicated with weird meditation moments and hard conversations. All the while Katie and Ariana are being their best selves, making money moves in Weho. We question why production is trying so hard to redeem Sandoval and make Ariana the villain in their story. Meanwhile in Bachelor world, we accompany Joey to meet the top four women’s families. Protective parents ask all the hard questions, but Joey navigates all of it with his emotional intelligence and suave curls.2024-03-091h 22

Drama BondedTahoe woes - Vanderpump Rules S11Ep5 & Hometown rose - The Bachelor S28Ep7We were hoping for fun in the sun in Lake Tahoe, but storm Sandoval has dampened another episode of Vanderpump Rules. We also discuss some of Rachel’s insights concerning the things being said about her this season. Then we are off to Jasper, Canada where we find 6 women hoping for a hometown rose. Some women are ready and eager, while others express some unexpected hesitation. Joey struggles to juggle hearts and doubts, but ends with a surprising final four. We have no idea where the season goes from here! #popculturepodcast #womenwhopodcast #vpr #rachelgoesrogue #rachelleviss #scandova...2024-03-0250 min

Drama BondedPricey pool party - Vanderpump Rules S11Ep4 & Je t'aime - The Bachelor S28Ep6We start out addressing the infamous quote from Tom Sandoval’s profile piece in The NY Times. How does this all keep getting worse? That leads us into another heavy episode of Vanderpump Rules, where we talk through some hard-to-discuss mental health topics and then embrace the brief levity of James’s pricey pool party. The Bachelor also felt heavier this week! We see Joey struggling to navigate all of his own insecurities while simultaneously trying to grow connections with the remaining women.

Drama BondedQueen of the group - Vanderpump Rules S11Ep3 & Tripping into love - Bachelor S28Ep4-5Holy moly there was a lot to talk about this week. Scheana is reinventing her music career while Schwartz tries to get “the band” back together. With Lisa giving Tom hard advice and everyone gathering at SUR for “See You Next Tuesday”, it’s easy to forget what season we’re watching. Meanwhile in Bachelor land, we had 2 episodes to cover! Joey and the women are tripping into love all over Malta and Spain. We endured the dreaded two-on-one, wet sausages, abstract paintings, questionable flamenco fashion, and are looking forward to more travel and stronger connections. #popculture...2024-02-171h 57

Drama BondedBushes and boundaries - Vanderpump Rules S11E2 & The bully reveals herself - The Bachelor S28E3In our free-flow episode, we get into episode 2 of Vanderpump Rules and question things like: How could James be a voice or reason? Why is Lala not supporting Ariana’s boundaries? How does Ann do this crappy job? And other important topics. Meanwhile in Bachelor world, Sydney has transitioned into full-blast-mean-girl bully mode and is targeting Maria. We are already dreading the inevitable 2:1, and just want more costumes and tennis dates.

We cover what we loved, what made us cry, and what maybe wasn’t so “golden” after all. We muse about what made this new Bachelor show so special, and wonder if it airing with Paradise gave the mess on the beach a bad look. Then we dive into the dirt of the couples remaining in Mexico. People are dropping like flies after hard truths and broken hearts. The remaining two couples take us to the fantasy suites and then on to predictable engagements… but maybe their endi...2023-12-121h 22

Drama BondedGreat British Baking Show FINALE + the dinkiest episode of Paradise | GBBO S14 Ep9&10This week we are thrilled to wrap up our Great British Baking Show coverage with the season 14 semifinals and finale! We start with a rough Patisserie week to watch, where we lose Tasha to a lame laminated Showstopper. We are then left with Matty, Josh, and Dan in the finale. Despite our disappointment with an all-male finale, we were thrilled to see some fun challenges like eclairs and a forgotten lardy cake. We wrap up the whole season with layered cakes reflecting the bakers’ “first bakes”, and are thrilled to see who the judges "leaned" toward for the win. Paradi...2023-12-071h 07

Sadly, many bakers leave Paul and Prue wanting with bland bakes. That being said, we’re still dazzled by their floral jellied masterpieces.

We find the beaches of Paradise messy as ever, and follow the trail of men’s tears to all of the drama between Kat and Brayden and another abandoned Will.

Brayden always has a lot to say, so naturally, we have a lot to say in response. Charity is charmed by Brayden saying “he’ll try”, but the rest of the men are not convinced. The men really leaned into the Barbie date, but only Sean achieved the ultimate Ken status (all in the hair). Aaron plays the part of “right reasons” police, and attempts to open Charity’s eyes to Brayden’s lack of intention.
