Every time I give this pod another chance, they insult someone else's looks. From number rating women's bodies in one episode to calling a man "enormous" and "the worst he's ever looked" in the next. I really thought the cohost was going to call out the bad behavior, but she just laughed. It's 2025, and if you haven't figured out it's not funny or cute or entertaining to criticize people's bodies, then your privilege is showing.

Used to love this podcast, but echoing other reviewers here to say that the obsession with other shows (namely Love Island/LI) is getting to be a lot. Of course, I’m not an LI watcher and am more of a Bach person, and I’m not saying they shouldn’t cover LI because it’s obviously popular, but I wish that content would be kept to their own episodes. For instance, on the recent bachelor (BIP) podcasts, the conversation seems to always devolve into LI cast gossip, and it’s just annoying. The BIP recaps end up only being like 30 minutes, and the rest of the pod is talking about other shows. I come for Bach content, and this other content always seems to hijack the conversation. I just tune out, and switch to another pod, which is disappointing. This used to be one of my first recap pod listens after Bach episodes - now it’s one of my last, if at all, for this reason. And, since you guys asked, no mom content please.

I’ve held on for years past this show’s expiration date but now we’re at the point where covering the bachelor is like 30 mins and then they’re on to other shows. And it’s so clear they don’t enjoy watching! Also, I feel like I’m taking crazy pills (in the words of Wells) because their takes lately on who is good and who is bad are the complete opposite of mine every single time. I used to feel Juliet had nuanced takes and was a good reader of people as a fellow normal person (not celebrity or celebrity adjacent) but it seems she’s completely lost touch with that reality now. Every time they share their take on someone I’m confused, are we watching the same show?

Since y’all asked, please no more mom content. Lots of non-parents listen to this podcast and we’d love to hear you all talk about Bachelor shows.

Updated to say I still love Callie and Juliet, but I wish the episodes were more consistent. This pod and betchelor are basically the only reasons I even watch this tired show anymore! Love Callie and Juliet, and I love the chill vibe of this pod.

This is one of my favorite bachelor nation podcasts. I love hearing Callie’s takes and I enjoy Juliet’s takes about 90% of the time - sometimes they can be a tad too mean but nothing ever really crosses a line. I also love the sports and other pop culture references ☺️ Edit - took down a star only because it’s been an excessive amount of children/motherhood talk recently. It’s so exciting and a wonderful thing but I want reality tv podcasts to be an escape, not a constant reminder of what I’m struggling with plus chat about my shows 😔

I love you two, but I don’t love how you’ve subtly and gradually merged a bunch of stupid reality shows into one weekly podcast. I only watch The Bachelor/ette/paradise. I do not want to hear about all of the others or forward until I find the content the podcast is supposed to be about. Can you please just do a Bachelor-specific podcast (like you used to) and maybe create another podcast for all the other shows? It’s getting old.

Love hearing Callie and Juliette’s take on the bachelor but it’s been missing for a couple weeks now. 😩

Can we turn down the mother talk just a little bit? When you refer to women it’s constantly implying that we have children or all will. A strong percentage of your audience does not relate to that.

She’s an awful podcaster and super unlikable. Used to love this pod back in the day w/juliet and Jacoby…

I’ve been tuning in each week for years, and it’s been such a joy to watch Callie grow into her role as cohost. She consistently comes prepared and brings the energy to every episode. No matter the show covered, it’s a fun listen! Shout out to Juliet for entrusting her to hold down the fort during her leave.

I used to look forward to hearing them recap The Bachelor, but they have made a clear pivot to all romance reality tv. I can feel how much they hate watching/talking about The Bachelor franchise. They should create a new podcast and change the name to align with their new show.

this show was acceptable four years ago

I am excited to hear Taylor’s insight into this season of Big Brother. I am subscribed and ready!

I’ve been a long time listener but I will be standing by my one star. The dismissive comments for Cierra using a racial slur was upsetting. The “apology” was not an apology at all. It was a justification for what you said and there was no accountability. It’s so upsetting when people want to seem inclusive and not racially biased, but to authentically be an ally you have to speak up WITH communities. The “I can’t decide what slurs are racist or not because I’m not a minority” attitude is being complicit against racist behavior. Unacceptable.

One of my favorite reality tv podcasts! Callie is doing great and can’t wait for Juliet to be back full time!

SO excited to see that not only will there be BB coverage, but THE Taylor Hale will be co-hosting!! Callie is the reason I started listening and it just gets better with the addition of Taylor! This pod is my one stop shop for all of my reality tv podcast needs.

Excited to have Juliet back but I agree with the last review. I want to hear more about Paradise!! Some of us are of the generation where Bachelor is our show and we aren’t watching Love Island. Thanks!

Welcome back, Juliet, but also, I’m 32 mins into the Bachelor in Paradise recap and they’ve yet to mention a word of the show this is supposed to be about. Perhaps recap LI on another episode? BIP was three hours and gets… 25 mins.

It was bad enough that Callie justified Cierra’s use of a racial, but the sad excuse for an apology was even worse. You still are not focusing on the fact that the use of the word is unacceptable and should not be tolerated in any context. Your “apology” was just reiterating that you personally don’t use that word and a lot of people didn’t know it was a slur. That was not the point!!

Any research, even a tiny bit. How are you going to start the show with an apology without researching the context of the slur and how it was found

I have been a fan of this podcast for a couple years. I usually love Callie’s take on these shows. However, I was disappointed how Cierra’s use of a racial slur was downplayed.I am hoping by the next episode the hosts will have learned more about this whole situation and maybe have a more educated response.

For a woman of color to excuse Cierra’s use of a racial slur because it was “acceptable 4 years ago” is inexcusable. Just because that slur was something you didn’t care about 4 years ago doesn’t mean that it was acceptable. It means that you are ignorant. Btw she used the word in 2023, after Asian Americans experienced heightened levels of racism and hate crimes after the Covid Pandemic. #StopAsianHate starts with allyship in communities that have suffered similar abuses. Communities like yours.

I’ve been listening forever and don’t always agree with their takes but still love hearing them. But this last episode Callie heavily downplayed the impact of an Asian sl*r used by a contestant because she didn’t know it was a sl*r until recently. I hope she’s reconsidered her views but publishing a podcast saying that feels incredibly irresponsible.

On the last episode, Callie said it would have been acceptable for a love island contestant to say a racist slur 4 years ago. Just thought I should point out that she’s wrong.

I’ve listened to this podcast for years and used to really enjoy it. However, after this last episode, I have to stop listening. It is so offensive that the racial slurs used by Cierra are brushed over by both hosts and you can’t understand why she’s getting backlash. As women of color, I would expect more from you to support other races when the discrimination is turned on them.

Thank you for being logical, intelligent show critics. It’s so hard to find a podcast recapping Love Island USA right now that doesn’t have me ranting in disagreement. The fandom can be a little unhinged, so it’s good to hear rational opinions.

So I guess it’s okay to say one type of racist word (Cierra) and not one (yulissa) according to these ladies

Callie should stay away from recapping other podcasts because she does so very inaccurately. I also listened to the Chicks in the Office and Viall Files episodes and had I not, I would’ve just taken Callie’s interpretation as direct quotes. Just something that personally irks me.

I love Juliet and Callie. Callie has been so enjoyable to listen to while Juliet is on leave. This is my favorite podcast. I never miss an episode!

I just agree with everything Callie says, and I too, was so shocked by Bell-a’s weird meme like speaking! So strange. I love you Callie. You are amazing.

Do your homework. The “bootman” is the official boot maker for DCC. I am 10 minutes into your podcast and have to stop listening. The judges has a direct connection to DCC. The weatherman hosts events, is friends with the Cowboy family and have been judging for a long time. Neil McCoy is not a random country singer. He performs with the show group over seas. You are not informed enough to make an opinion and I don’t like you laughing at how serious this is for the training camp.

I wish there were an email I could respond to, however, this combo of bachelor, love island and bravo is everything. Side note: Huda=Jen Shah

Good topics (Bach, love island, etc) unfortunately the host Callie is very unpleasant to listen to. I’ve given it a year but I’m over it. Her love of toxic Ace on season 7 of LI is so off putting. gotta sign off! (Her voice too man no thanks)

I loved the dynamic between Callie and Brittany- I really enjoyed callie hosting that and it felt like listening to two girlfriends catching up! Sometimes the podcast can feel very news-like with their voices and with both of them it felt like getting to eavesdrop on their conversations! Long time listener of the podcast and love Callie. But having the fresh takes from Brittany and her humor was so nice and refreshing! A couple times I was laughing so hard with some of the stuff they were saying.

I like this podcast but get so frustrated by the lack of research being done before getting on to record. Sharing blatantly inaccurate information on a topic you’re speaking about just because you couldn’t google it before the show is so annoying!! If you’re going to bring it up, please look it up beforehand! It makes your podcast seem like amateur hour.

I’ve appreciated this podcast for its mix of lighthearted energy and thought-provoking cultural commentary. I’m a LONG time listener and beyond thrilled for Juliet. I appreciate what she has built and developed with Bachelor Party. More often than not, the conversations have felt progressive, insightful, and genuinely curious—qualities that made it a standout in the space. Jodi continues to bring that thoughtful, balanced presence and is an excellent match for Callie’s dynamic energy. However, the recent addition of Brittany hasn’t added the same depth. Her commentary often feels performative and overly reactive to perceived audience sentiment, which detracts from the organic, exploratory tone the show once had. Her takes lack the nuance and clarity that made past discussions more compelling. I hope the podcast returns to the more engaging and progressive dialogue.

I haven’t listened to the other recaps because I don’t watch Farmer Wants a Wife but Jodi and Callie really have a great flow, would love to see her more on the show when Bachelor comes back!

My original review was titled “Juliet Litman needs to let others speak.” Honestly, I have found the show much more enjoyable with Callie and Brittany at the helm. (Solid 4-5 stars for me!) The conversation flows better, I like how Callie asks Brittany questions, and Callie makes me laugh. My issue with Juliet’s podcasting style is that she doesn’t let others speak. And I originally gave a two-star review, so I’m splitting the difference now. ORIGINAL REVIEW Conversations are fluid and interruptions happen, but she regularly refuses to let other people finish their thoughts. The latest episode with Jared is a perfect example—especially when they were talking about Love Is Blind. It’s very easy to let other people share their thoughts to! It makes for a better dialogue

Love the pod, but it’s not the same without Juliet! Bring her back

I love Juliet I love Callie. Long time fan. Great show!

Would give the pod 5 stars but I can’t stand how many times Callie says “which, by the way” !! I counted 9 times in 20 min the other day - crazy! Get a new phrase please!

Loved Callie’s Guest Bird! Episode was fun and upbeat. Hope she’s on more, they are have great energy together.

Congratulations Juliet, totally had to stop my grocery shopping mid listen to write this. how exciting, best wishes to you and your little baby!!!

Oof. Rough take. He so obviously did her dirty- I’m confused. Tough listen.

But we need more knowledgeable temp replacement about the show and its history. I cringed when the two didn’t know what season Grant came from and how the show works. I’ve been thinking this for a long time, not just this episode. Avid listener since 2016 or even possibly earlier. Le sigh

Ma’am, why invite a guest if you’re just going to speak over them? I read that people who constantly interrupt someone who is speaking believe that they are the most important person in the room and don’t care to hear anyone else’s opinion. The episode with Jared was almost unbearable to listen to. Do yourself a favor and review that episode. You NEED a teachable moment because it was awful and YOU were the problem.

Can these two please do a series of 4-to-6-episode travel podcasts??

LOVE every episode Jared Freid is on with Juliet! Good pair for a podcast!

Temptation Island and Mark has been around awhile. It’s just now on Netflix
