    What you did to Courtney Robinson during such a difficult time in her life is just disgusting! Trista and Joan are terrible. I’ve unfollowed you.

  • “Most Dramatic Episode”

    Should be titled the Most Uncomfortable Episode! Hasn’t Courtney been thru enough? Not only in her personal life but Bach Franchise has never treated her well! And now we have Trista coming in hot, talking over her and being a mean girl? Yikes! Joan was more gentle at least. How is it that you can hate on someone with mean tweets and somehow they’re expected to apologize to you? I feel bad for Courtney!

  • Ads are longer than the episodes

    Way too many Ads that last so long! Ben also talks so slow with any Ad he’s doing. It is so weird to listen to. It seems like he’s on slow speed. Even when he talk on the episodes. Is he trying to drag out the episode? Speed up Ben.

  • I miss Ben & Ashley!

    It pains me to write a review like this for a podcast I’ve always loved, but we’ve completely lost the plot. How did we go from Ben and Ashley recapping the bachelor, talking about pop culture, and interviewing past contestants to Trista, Courtney and Joan fighting with each other?? What is going on??? I hate the million different podcasts on this feed. I hate when there’s random producers filling in. I get if someone can’t make it once in a while, but honestly when was the last time it was just... more

What are basement girls???
Q: Could you give us a quick rundown on what a basement/back room does during recruitment?
The back room tracks conversations, scores, and notes on each PNM, mostly on paper, and helps match PNMs with potential sorority matches based on the gathered data.
The Red Flags You Can't Ignore With A Prenup
Q: What are some red flags you should look for when viewing a prenup?
Red flags include terms that contradict what was discussed about future expectations, demands that force one partner into a financial or caregiving role without mutual agreement, and clauses that seem illogical or inconsistent with stated values and behavior; the prenup should align with the couple's real-life plans and core values.
