I'm Claire Fallon and I'm Emma Gray.

And this is Love to See It, an obsessively detailed recap podcast about reality dating

shows like The Bachelor and other pop culture that makes us laugh, cry, and curse the patriarchy.

We can't live with these shows and we can't live without them, but we can break down every

and the Bachelor franchise. It's a lot. It's a lot. I know. We used to be like, wow, the beginning

of the week is so crazy. And now it's like, no, Thursday, Friday, you're done content overload.

It is, it's fucking wild, guys. So let's just dive into week two in Paradise.

Just going to say up top. I loved episode one. I didn't think this episode was as good as the

premiere, but I am hoping we'll see them even out in Course Correct as the season continues.
