Listen to Your Heart E5: We're Far From The Shallow Now

May 17, 2020 Mary & Emily
Listen-To-Your-Heart-Rudi-Matt-2-1014x570.jpg

Emily: Hi everyone. Apologies for getting this recap to you late. I know it feels like it’s been ages since this episode happened, but actually it was just last Monday. COVID-19 time is weird, isn’t it? Anyway, we’re very sorry, but we’re here now. And better late than never, right? I’m going to let Mary take it away.

Mary: As usual, everyone is hanging out and living their lives until Chris Harrison shows up. Chris starts out calm, asking Bri and Chris how they feel after saying they love each other the night before.

Emily: You can tell Chris and Bri are truly in love because they’re both wearing purple now. Matching shades of purple. That’s the kind of synchronicity that only comes about when you have true, open hearts.

Mary: Chris says, “You can only like someone so long.” This seems like a bold statement, and I’m curious how long they’ve actually been filming at this point. I’m a slow turtle in relationships, I think, but also I’m not sure I’d say I love someone after like, a week or two.

Emily: This is The Bachelor world. So you should at least be “falling in love” after two dates.

Listen to Your Heart E2: "The Shoe Has Dropped, and It's A Boot"

April 22, 2020 Mary & Emily
LTYH-Episode-2-767x431.jpg

Emily: Welcome back to the show that isn’t what we wanted but perhaps what we need during these quarantine times. This is the second week of Listen to Your Heart, but these people are acting like they’ve been in here for, like, a year. And apparently they think we know who they are or who any of these “established” “relationships” are. We do not.

Mary: They’ve known each other for approximately two days to a week and yet they’re all ready to be in love and make big commitments. I continuously kept saying, “DO YOU EVEN KNOW EACH OTHER?!” at my TV. I’m not sure about the editing on this show because, as you said, they expect us to know who’s “established” with very little explanation of who these people even are. It’s a roller coaster ride. WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE.

Mary: Welcome to Listen to Your Heart, a new Bachelor franchise show where a group of musically talented people go live in a house to find their perfect duet partner, and maybe love.

The Bachelor Presents: Listen To Your Heart - First Impressions

April 9, 2020 Mary & Emily
listen2yourheart.jpg

When The Bachelor announced the spin-off Listen to Your Heart, no one knew we’d be where we are for its air date mid-April.

We’re all stuck in our houses. We’ve learned The Bachelorette has been indefinitely postponed so we’re not quite sure when we’ll be getting the next season. Where does that leave us? Bored and hungry for mindless reality tv. Enter Listen to Your Heart: a television show a lot of us were not planning to watch. But now suddenly the tides have turned, and here we are. Not only watching the show but recapping it.

Yes, that’s right. Mary and Emily will be recapping this show. We don’t know anything about it. We don’t know the format. We don’t know what the premise is, really, aside from people falling in love and playing music together. But we’re going to give you our first impressions of the cast members anyway. Here we go!
