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 juicy moment and unpack all the weird messages these shows send us about love, sex, and dating.

Welcome to Love to See It, a podcast about the unique and definitely very real customs of Belgium, the most romantic place to fall in love.

Who needs to travel to Bruges when you can simply watch The Bachelor at, a travel documentary series with some light kissing, just like a little kissing for fun.

Here to join us in discussing the attractions and traditions of Belgium is the wonderful Darren Carp, Bravo Personality, and Host of Shaken and Disturbed.

Darren, thanks for joining us.

So good to be here. Glad to be back and breaking down this episode.

Finally, you guys, thanks for having me.

Yes, always a trait to have you and so much to discuss in this episode. I can't wait to begin.

So let's dive. Let's dive right off of this cruise ship into the frigid waters off of Belgium.

The reddest cruise ship that I've honestly ever seen, it strikes me more and more every episode. It's just so red.

And it's just chugging toward Bruce.

They're all enjoying the amenities of the ship, the onboard ice cream, the showers, Eric is showering in a swimsuit. They're doing some weird B roll here.

And he needed at least one shirtless shower shot, but it's like we will get it.

It's like couldn't they get a tighter shot so you can't see that he is in a swimsuit. Like why is he in a swimsuit?

There's also no context for it. It was just like one of like six shots. And it's just like, I think I'm sweating inside.

Like is this a sexy shot? Is this like some adversarial content for virgin cruises?

We don't know. Look at this beautiful, very exposed feeling shower that you'll get to enjoy on board.

And finally they dock at bridge. Johnny looks out at the towns and says, dude, look how beautiful these towns look.

I want to say what you're staring at was a concrete parking lot. And then they very quickly almost to try to so that you don't notice they then cut quickly to actually beautiful B roll of bruise.

But this is kind of the problem seeing the town cruise ships do not typically dock at like a super picturesque little port. They need like all of those concrete space spaces for cars and transport.
