I'm wearing a lap coat for every from here. I'm not going to poke any place you don't need to be pumped though.

Welcome to Here to Make Friends, a half-post podcast about the Bachelor franchise,

where we lovingly snark on the Bachelor and Bachelor adjacent shows. Whether you love the

Bachelor or love to hate it, we're here to break down every single delicious moment with you.

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

At the top of the episode, you heard none other than Dr. Love. Sorry, that's Paul J.

Zach, the neuro-economist you saw last week helping Ben Higgins sniff his way to love.

We'll hear more from him later on, but first, let's recap.

Yes, more insights from him later. And on today's episode, we're also going to discuss

the wasted talents of two world-class soccer players, the entire house turning without

warning into a pack of Revaness Hyenas and Olivia's tenuous grasp of what relationships

actually are. Plus, we'll explore which is more painful, having cancels or suddenly losing two

loved ones in a tragic plane crash. It's been truly a night to remember.

And yes, we are recording this at night. We just finished watching the show.

Everything is very fresh. I have jury duty tomorrow, so we are so dedicated that we're recording

at 10.30 pm. Yes, we're diving right in. I'm almost sort of reeling

from the freshness. Nothing's really sunk in. It's just like a lot of bright lights and

horrifying images. Yeah, before we get into the actual events of tonight's episode,

I feel like we need to acknowledge just how mean spirited this group of women has gotten so

quickly. We're only on week three. We started this episode with Lauren B and Amanda talking

shit about Olivia. We just really, we began with talking shit, we ended with talking shit.

It really came full circle. And most of it in between was about talking shit. That was the theme.
