Chock-ing finale
Karen & Kayleigh are Here for the Right Reasons
Karen & Kayleigh are here to tell you what you already knew-- Golden Bachelorette Joan Vassos picked Chock Chapple as her future partner in the Golden Bachelorette season finale. Was it great to have a happy ending? Absolutely. It has been such a joy for Kayleigh and I to talk about the Bachelor franchise these past 4 years (and 15 seasons!) -- an idea that was born during the pandemic which deepened our friendship and taught us new skills. We still love this very flawed franchise, in spite of itself, and look forward to rooting for future Golden...

Sometimes no experience is the best experience
Karen & Kayleigh are Here for the Right Reasons
Karen & Kayleigh are here for the bromance! It's the Golden Bachelorette Men Tell All reunion. It's the episode of brotherly love - and it was a delightful jaunt down memory lane. I don't know about you, but I needed some joy this week and I was able to find it here. If you need an additional incentive to watch, the Los Angeles Gay Men's Chorus performed Cap'n Kim's new hit single: We Are the Mansion Men. (also, seeing Kim do yoga in some previously unaired footage was also quite riveting) All in all, it was wonderful to have another visit with all of...

Chock or shock?
Karen & Kayleigh are Here for the Right Reasons
Karen & Kayleigh are here to recap and review the latest episode of the Golden Bachelorette just for you! This week, Joan visits the remaining fellas' hometowns and meets lots of family and friends. And attends a funeral. Two guys are ready to propose but the other two have more of a laissez faire approach to winning Joan's heart. Who will go home? (Jordan) Who will cry her face off when the men bond with their children and families? (Karen) Who is 99% sure she didn't curse once during this episode, but is not 100% sure? (also Karen)

Golden is as golden does
Karen & Kayleigh are Here for the Right Reasons
Its the week before hometowns! But our hopes are dashed for a Kelsey/Joey/Mark/Joan onscreen reunion. No roses this week-- so the two one-on-one dates don't have the same level of danger as they often have. in the end, we lose more fine gentlemen to the fickle fate of love and prepare for the emotional havoc of hometowns week.

the love game - disco stick edition
Karen & Kayleigh are Here for the Right Reasons
Karen & Kayleigh are here for the right reasons-- to fall in lurve with all the great people on the Golden Bachelorette and wish they were part of our family. obviously. This week, Joan has one on one dates with Guy and Jordan, and there is a group date wherein the men are asked to strip, but for charity's sake, so that makes it all ok. That said, we loved every minute of it. If the guys from this season are not immediately off the market, I will have to assume there is a national/international shortage of appropriately aged women. Anyhoo-- join us as we...

It's episode 3 of Joan Vassos' season of the Golden Bachelorette-- and we continue to be fully enamored with the mansion men and with Joan. This week, Joan has one on one dates with Pascal and Jonathan, and a group date involving kickball. It's giving wholesome dad vibes and we are here for it. If you aren't watching this season, you are missing out on some fantastic television.

a Chock-a-block episode
Karen & Kayleigh are Here for the Right Reasons
Karen & Kayleigh disagree on one thing - should Charles be in charge as the next Golden Bachelor? (assuming he isn't the person who wins Joan's heart) Disagreement aside, we both loved watching episode 2 of Joan Vassos' Golden Bachelorette season. Some of the men get to take Joan to senior senior prom, and the rest get to show off their talents. Chock wins the first one on one date - they go to Disneyland! Thank you, producers, for this palate cleanser of a season after the disaster you created for Jenn Tran.

Golden Bachelorette premiere- there's a lot of meat in here
Karen & Kayleigh are Here for the Right Reasons
Karen & Kayleigh are here for the right reasons-- we recap and review the US version of the Bachelor and its various iterations. Our very first ever Golden Bachelorette, Joan Vassos, is presented with 24 men to consider as potential boyfriends this season. The first episode was a true delight! We are excited to discuss it all- especially our new favorite person in the world-- Charles L from PA.

Do I have a choice? Jenn Tran's finale
Karen & Kayleigh are Here for the Right Reasons
Bachelorette Jenn Tran deserved so much better than what she got from ABC. Join Karen & Kayleigh for discussion and airing of frustrations as Jenn Tran's time as Bachelorette comes to a close. We wish nothing but blue skies, warm sun, and the perfect love to come Jenn's way in the near future.
info_outlineIt is episode 5 of Jenn Tran's season of the Bachelorette, and Karen & Kayleigh are here for it! We say hello and goodbye to a man from Jenn's past, Grant and Jonathon have one on one dates, and one of Jenn's guys sends himself home, sending Jenn into a fear spiral. We say goodbye to one of our favorite dudes on this season! It's a two rose-ceremony kind of episode. Considering the fact that we recently learned that watching Jesse Palmer eat during one-on-one dates was the reason they stopped having people eat on dates at all, we sure do see a fair amount of Jesse eating as the host this season.
