Episode notes
In this feature-length Rose Buddies, we break down the two episodes of Bachelorette that aired this week. I don’t know if the Congressional Medal of Honor has ever been awarded for recapping four hours of garbage-time television, but hey, there’s a first time for everything.

About the show
The Bachelor is too dangerous a television series to try to watch alone. That’s where Rose Buddies comes in: Media experts Rachel and Griffin McElroy — get this! — watch episodes of The Bachelor family of products, and then — this next part is genius — talk about them on a podcast. They’ll have their erudite analysis ready for you the morning after new episodes of The Bachelor, or The Bachelorette, or Bachelor in Paradise or of whatever other hellspawn is birthed from this franchise’s fertile womb.
