Bachelor of Hearts163. Gerry 'Time' Turner (Golden Bachelor S1 E7: The Women Tell All)This week, XRN has been struck down by covid-19, so MQ is handily filling in the gaps, for the traditional not-quite-an-episode of the series: The Women Tell All. There's not All that much for the Women to Tell this time around, as drama has served as a garnish to the other festivities this season. However, we do find out our Final Two, as Gerry surprises us with his choice of evictee, and Max reflects on their less-than-ideal ending. Plus: gas chat, six inches become eight, and of course, we get to hear plenty of Max's beautiful Gerry impression.2023-11-1531 minBachelor of Hearts163.

Fboy OnLand (FBOY Island AU S1 E3-4)This week, we're back discussing FBOY Island Australia, and even though it's only week 2, we've already seen several game-breakingly unexpected events that require our analysis.

Bachelor of Hearts143.

We do make some brief stops along the way to discuss our kebab shop orders, Muppets, Rob Zombie, dipping sauces, and Xavier debuts their long-gestating Thomas impression.2023-01-242h 30Bachelor of Hearts143.

Plus, we compare Tilly's characterisation to that of Abbie Chatfield on Matt Agnew's season, and we analyse the "growth" that Thomas is looking for in his relationship. Also, Max establishes a hierarchy of horniness, we consider some of the most average music we've ever heard, and we wait patiently for someone to shout out our podcast.2023-01-222h 27Bachelor of Hearts142.

Bachelor of Hearts136. Slip Slop Slay (The Real Love Boat AU S1 E9-10)This week, it's a real loosey-goosey podcast - two shorter episodes left us feeling a little high and dry, so we focused mainly on issuing our verdict on Osher Gunsberg's new hairdo, ruminating a little more on our forthcoming Grifter Bachelor, and Max's recent experience with the Flauna. But back on the ship - we learn not to talk to Moana or Courtney after they've had their morning coffee, we wonder whether kissing a French person counts as French kissing, and we ponder the unanswerable question - is Keanu doing a bit??
