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 broken ankles and broken hearts. This week, its episodes 6 and 7 of Bachelor in Paradise and the beach is continuing to descend deeper and deeper into just utter chaos and misery.

Big Casa Mortewist finally happens this week with the original women sent away from the beach, new women brought in to test the relationships and the sobbing, oh the sobbing, enough tears to wash the entire beach clean.

Truly, they wanted a beach full of Ashley Ayes and they really made it happen. They double-spect that.

Yeah, they doubled down on that and they made it happen. So we open episode 6 the morning of Rose ceremony day and there are only seven women left because the women keep leaving because it's horrible to be there and they don't like it.

However, there are still 12 men so five guys are going home and that's after Romeo left with Kira at the end of last week. So things are seriously not bad.

I feel the production is just panicking at this point. They clearly did not plan for this many women to feel tortured enough to self eliminate.

It feels like they somehow ended up with the sort of the sort of problem that ladies nights at clubs were designed to address, which is like there's so many dudes here looking for hot women, but like we can't get the women to stay because it sucks here so much.

Free drinks like will that help.

No, it's not worth it. It's not worth it. All the free tequila in the world is not is not worth this pain as Casey puts it. It is going to be the red wedding.

Yeah, paradise.

Things are looking pretty iffy for six men in particular because almost all of the women are in a couple.

Except for Chenet who is in a love triangle. So James or Logan is going to go home. Justin Casey Peter and Michael are sort of definitely going to go home. There's no one here for them and none of the women are free agents.

So Michael is starting to feel pretty sad, pretty alone.

He's like, I did break up with Sierra, but I didn't expect her to like leave per se. Like I think he thought she would still be an option to some extent like that he could be like let's take a big step back and just be friends, but she would still be like a friendly presence on the beach.

Someone who could maybe give him a friendship rose or just like hang out with him and instead she's just gone and he's like, I don't need this in my life. And frankly, I do love that for Sierra. I think she is far better off.

I agree. But he does want to stay.

Unfortunately, there's like no one to give him a rose. He starts being like, maybe I should have spent more time with Brittany. And I'm like, Michael, come on. Have a little more dignity here.

I know. Like buddy, if there's no one here, you are allowed to date in Ohio too. It's not illegal there.

I think if I leave without someone, it would be unfinished business. And like Michael, that's, I appreciate that you want to meet a girlfriend here, but you're allowed to date in Ohio. You really are.
