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.

landfall in Sao Lita and causes the same amount of damage and disturbance as a woman having

negative emotions in public. Yeah, pretty much the same amount of fall, I would say.

Meanwhile, the end of paradise is rapidly approaching and the whole beach is just starting to

get that like bar on a Saturday night at like 1.30 a.m. it's almost closing times sort

of vibe as all the desperate singles are just trying to make that love connection before

it's too late. Really depressing vibes, I have to say.

have time to get into all of that and joining us to recap this week for the first time

ever romance novelists, Tessa Dara and Rebecca Weatherspoon. Thank you both so much for joining

us. Thank you. Thank you for having us. I'm so excited.

Well, we are excited to have you and we have a lot to get into. Let's dive in. Yes.

So much romance, so much romance, so much drama. So I know you guys will have a lot of

insight, but we open actually with some zoology. We open with a night hair and eating a crab

as Joe and Serena make out by the water. And so I suppose the night hair and represents

Joe and Serena's love and the crab represents Kendall's heart as she watches and is wrecked.
