I'm Claire Fallon and I'm Emma Gray and this is Love to See It, an obsessively detailed

recap podcast about 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. It's week three of Bachelor in Paradise, otherwise known

as episodes four and five, always very confusing. And right on schedule, Bachelor in Paradise

is turning into Bachelor in Hell. You know, there's no show, there's no drama, and there's

no drama if people don't start just like wildly betraying, backstabbing each other,

breaking up, and generally acting very poorly. So that's exactly what this week is really

all about. Yes, four hours of tears and shouting and calling people garbage bag humans and

just tragically burnt cakes that someone would have happily eaten me. I really want that

chocolate cake. It looked good. Very depressing outcome. But joining us for this cake burnt

filled recap is Mr. Mayor Star and dear friend of the pod, Vella LaVelle. Vella, thank you

for joining us. Yay, hi guys. Thanks for letting me back. And treating you to come back, I mean,

we're so excited. Forcing you into recapping four full hours of dramatic healthscape. So

yeah, truly a pleasure. I think we should dive right in. Let's see it. It's, we start the

morning after the big, the big horrifying thing that happened to Connor, which is that

Marissa and Riley had a wonderful day. They really connected and they went to the boom,

boom, room. And Connor doesn't really know that a death blow has been dealt to his relationship.

He's like, it's wake up like time to check in with Marissa and see how everything's going.

But Marissa is like Riley is a dream man. Things like there's no downside to Riley right now.
