We’re nearing the end of Colton’s season, and although it’s hard to focus on anything other than what’s going to happen during next week’s DRAMATIC finale, the beloved “Women Tell All” episode is here to bring us some solace.

(If your idea of solace is 20 women screaming at each other all at once.)

The Bachelor S23E9: He Just Jumped the F****** Fence

March 6, 2019 Susan & Kelli

Well, Bachelor Nation, it finally happened: the fence jump heard ‘round the world. That, and Hannah G. gets the shaft in this episode, and we don’t mean the D. What made this “most dramatic episode” so dramatic? Let’s get to it.

Into the Dark's "Treehouse": A Campy Time

March 5, 2019 Mary
into-the-dark-treehouse.jpg

Last October, Hulu began a horror anthology series called Into the Dark, releasing one “episode” per month. They began with “The Body,” a Halloween themed episode that takes place over one spooky night, but I didn’t start watching until “New Year, New You,” and even then I didn’t fully grasp what the series was about, or why Hulu was producing it. “New Year, New You” follows a group of friends over the course of a New Year’s Eve party as they try to kill an old friend that has become Instagram famous and egotistical. The episodes are long, about an hour and a half, or the length of a short movie. They have good casts and production values, and they’re all campy. Very, very campy. (Spoilers for “Treehouse” to follow)

So, we should start by sending out positive vibes to one of the best HPoR - Luke Perry.

Hoping for a swift and full recovery so you’re back to the bananas world of Riverdale soon.

Okay, let’s dive into the ring, shall we? We feel a bit like Archie’s face looked by the end of this episode...

Previously on...Survivor!

Last week, we got to know the Manu and Kama tribes, and Reem was voted out. However, she didn’t leave the game entirely, instead opting to stay at Edge of Extinction Island, where life seems bad! The returning players are still struggling to not be voted out, and everyone is scrambling for idols this week on...Survivor! So let’s jump right into it.

The Bachelor S23E8: He Seemed Like, You Know, a Guy

February 27, 2019 Susan & Emily
Colton’s 86th shower in eight episodes

Colton’s 86th shower in eight episodes

Another episode, another Colton shower to get us in the rose-giving mood.

Why must we see him shower every episode? We get it. He’s clean. He works out. My fiancé nearly yells, “Is he just naked and someone is in there with him filming?!” Welcome aboard, fiancé. You’re gonna see a lot of Colton’s wet chest hair if you stick around for the remaining episodes.

The Official #BSG Guide to the 2019 Oscars

February 23, 2019 Kelli
33013619801_ae3c253755_b.jpg

If you’re reading this, you’re probably more than aware that the 91st Academy Awards will be airing this Sunday evening at 8PM EST. The Oscars are always #messy, but this year’s ceremony has already been embroiled in a number of scandals, from its multiple nominations for a film who’s credited director has been accused of sexual assault against a minor, to the controversy surrounding comedian Kevin Hart, who was announced as this year’s host only to drop out shortly thereafter when homophobic tweets of his resurfaced online. Now, we have nobody hosting, a couple of truly Not Good films in the running for best picture, and a Queen tribute to ring in the ceremony, since we all know that The Music of Queen is one of 2019’s greatest cinematic achievements.

Basically, we’re off to a great start.

Looking over my predictions post from last year (which I would link to were it not still living in the archives of our old site, sorry), I am not at all surprised to see that I correctly predicted exactly half of the categories (6/12). For those playing along, that’s a 50% success rate, which is also considered an F. So, you know — maybe don’t bet a lot of money on my picks?

The Bachelor S23E7: That's My Greatest Fear In All This

February 20, 2019 Susan & Emily
d8b634d8-69d9-489a-9ccc-0af41b7037e3.jpg

On this episode of The Bachelor, two boring white dudes sit down at a bar in Denver to swap meaningless platitudes about following their guts, their greatest fears, and of course, being on the show for the right reasons. It was quite a riveting two hours of television, and Susan and Emily are here to break it all down for you. Let’s begin!

Emily: It’s the best day of the week! Bachelor recap day! Welcome back everyone for another week of The Bachelor where I just sit here and hope that Tayshia will be the next Bachelorette. Miracles do happen. But first we have to get through this season...
