Bachelor of Hearts

This week on BoH, we’re joined once again by writer, musician, and pop culture aficionado Eilish Gilligan! We discuss a mixed week for The Golden Bachelor AU, in which a simply staggering number of women were sent home, but not before they’re sent on a frustrating and disappointing camping trip (so, y’know, a camping trip). We dig into Terri’s shock Rose rejection, a shucking great date with Sunny, and Bear’s attempts to share more about himself via film (touching!) and food (nice try!).Plus - Max met Bear IRL!!! Did Bear accidentally spoil the outcome of the season? Did Max almost cause him to do a crime?? Does Xavy have a joke about Oasis they want to make again??? You’ll have to listen to find out.Follow Eilish on socials, and make sure to click through to that beautiful Linktree: @eilishgilliganCome and see MQ & Xavy rock out together in Melbourne on Nov 20 and/or Sydney on Dec 5!Come and see Xavy and NOT MQ rock out in Sydney on Nov 21 and/or Melbourne on Dec 20!

Can you believe it - The Bachelor is back on Australian TV! This week, The Golden Bachelor AU made its official premiere, and we're putting our expertise to good use in pulling apart the first week of the show. Is playing it safe the right move for the producers, or does it feel like more of the same? We analyse the limo exits, first dates, and the woman who at least seems to be getting a slight villain edit (but it's too soon to tell).If you're wondering if you have to watch the show to listen to the pod - you definitely don't! But we were pleasantly surprised by a lot of things on the TV this week, and you might be too.Let us know how you feel about Week 1 on our socials @bohpod and share the pod with a friend for extra brownie points! 🌹

We’re back! After a long absence, we return with a special episode, designed to keep you up to date with some of your favourite stars from seasons we’ve covered over the history of BoH! We answer all your big questions such as who’s gotten married, who’s split up, and who’s still promoting some kind of weird weight loss solution on Instagram years after their 15 minutes on TV? (trick question - the answer is ‘everyone’)Plus, a brief debrief on MAFS, some Golden Bachelor AU news, and a revolutionary new handshake technique. It’s good to be back!Who did we miss? Let us know on socials @bohpod <3Grab tickets for the Max Quinn 24/04 OAF show here!

We’re licking our wounds this week after a brutal few days in world history, and a Golden Bachelorette: The Men Tell All special that somehow isn’t able to offer any real solutions. But did it help? We’re here to discuss the silver (or is that golden?) linings in this insubstantial but inoffensive hour of TV: for one, it’s nice to see our friends the Mansion Men again and tap our toes to their jaunty tune. Jesse Palmer (a Canadian!) has a good night as host (especially when he’s not talking to Charles L.) And hey - everyone gets a something-burger. That’s not nothing-burger!

Happy Hawktuber 31st!!! It's time once again for our annual Halloween episode - this time, we're covering two horrifying episodes Drac-to-Drac, because is there anything scarier than trying to summarise and discuss two feature-length episodes of TV in one go?? Oh yeah - spiders. They're scary as hell. Please support the show on Patreon if you can & would like to, and find us on socials @bohpod / Bachelor of Hearts Oshposting! A dock is an enclosed area for loading and unloading ships. It extends along the shoreline. This one can sometimes also be used to encompass the other four, though. A wharf runs parallel to shore, not out into the water, and is built on piles, which are basically long pillars driven into the ground. They often are placed where the soil is too loose to build directly. A pier is like a wharf, but extends out into the water. These are pretty common for boat ramps and public parks and such. A quay is similar to a wharf, running along the shoreline, but is built on fill, which is literally filling material. In other words, it rests directly on the ground, which is filled in around it. Finally, a jetty is a pier that is built on fill. It runs out into the water, but there's no space underneath it. It rests on filled earth.

This week, one man is sent on a glitzy all-expenses-paid trip to Las Vegas, whilst another is plonked on a horse. The sixty-somethings are pushed to engage in strenuous activity and many of them are injured in the process, and Joan is struggling under the weight of her performance of ultimate femininity. In conclusion, Episode 3 of The Golden Bachelorette is a land of contrasts. Danke schoen for listening! Keep up with the show on socials @bohpod and our Facebook community Bachelor of Hearts Oshposting. Plus, you can support the show on Patreon if you want us to live that high roller lifestyle.

CANNONBAAALLLL!!! We are back and we're diving deep into Week 2 of our Golden Bachelorette recap! 💦 As the men settle in to mansion life, producers are serving up a heaping dose of Americana with a Very Senior Prom and a trip to Disneyland Resort (brought to you by Disney). We farewell some of our early favourites including Jack and Dr. Bob, but dark horses Charles L., Dan and Taylor Dayne emerge as main characters we can really get behind. Plus - are yo-yos cool? Sound off on our socials - @bohpod / Bachelor of Hearts Oshposting.

🥇The Golden Bachelorette is here!🥇 And we are too, like it or lump it, with another series of BoH Presents: Senior Studies. The first-ever episode of The Golden Bachelorete brings us an abundant crop of sexy sexagenarians, each one chock-full of personality, and all of whom are competing for the heart of glamorous private school administrator Joan Vassos. We’re here to talk through Joan’s options, pick our early favourites, and flag a few concerns. How does one become the Alpha Girl Dad? Who's giving Joan gastro? And will anyone’s voice be as fun to do as Gerry’s? To support the show, you can find us on Patreon. (Thanks!) Follow us on socials @bohpod // Bachelor of Hearts Oshposting. (Thanks!)

Episode 6 leaves us a little dissatisfied, with a few plot threads that refuse to make meaningful progress - however, a chilling ultimatum, a sneaky off-the-books relationship, and a big old game-changing status reveal all threaten to show their heads very soon. On the pod, we suspect a man of inventing a son, threaten to cook the women, and give props to the absolute worst man on TV - plus, we lay down our final predictions ahead of next week’s status reveal!

This week on the pod, we’re joined by fabulous fitness & fashion content creator Taylor Roocke, who just so happens to be the sister of our favourite new TV character, Doug! No, not the Nickelodeon cartoon Doug, can you imagine? Taylor gives us the lowdown on the man behind the muscle, the brain behind the brawn, the over-achiever behind the golden retriever - as well as an insight into what it’s like watching your brother get his butt out on TV. Plus, a brand-new segment with a fashion focus, we go deep on Joe’s possessive behaviour, and we finish with some unexpected breaking news about The Bachelor (yes, really!) Find Taylor on TikTok ⁠@taylorinspired⁠ and Instagram at ⁠@taylorroocke⁠!

Freestyle rap is back in a BIG way this week on FBOY Island AU - plus, some well-timed Olympic synergy, unnecessary waxing, and some last-minute string cheese (in that it was kind of cheesy when D’art played the cello, which is a string instrument, you get it?)Also - we salute the work of cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki, we’re visited by some famous Seths, and we hash out the great BDE vs. Rizz debate of 2024.

It's the penultimate episode of Catching Kelce, and we're saying farewell to some beloved faves, as Travis narrows the women down to a Final Four - plus, a visit from a country-pop superstar, and a surprise overnight date. If that weren't enough - we also give our first impressions on Taylor Swift's brand-new The Tortured Poet's Department, and the 2023 documentary Kelce - plus, we finally figure out whether Xavier is smarter than a 5th grader. (Spoiler: results inconclusive!)
