Welcome back to a one-off episode on The Golden Bachelor. Dr. Mali and Dr. Christina dive into all these questions and more before the the finale of The Golden Bachelor airs in two weeks!

Dr. Mali and Dr. Rule convene to discuss what is on their summer watching lists and why. We do a Spring Semester round up of the shows we covered this past spring, and talk about what we are obsessed with. Vanderpump Rules? Alone? Real Housewives? Dr. Collins argues for the urgency of watching VPR as an exercise for all theater students, and Dr. Rule lectures us on the importance of recognizing indigenity in naturalist/survival sho...

Part II coverage on the weird finale or tell all mash up. Gabe refuses to accept cultural context, and Nicole manipulates the entire stage, and the Ms. Debbie's outfit steals the show. Dr. Rule and Dr. Mali continue to rant about Islamophobia and the shitty editing. Also, did you know what a Texas Margarita is? Dr. Rule, the native Texan, has to ask Dr. Mali. 😌

Sweaty basketball, absent partners, cheese puff towers, and improper editing. Dr. Rule and Dr. Mali remain confused at literally everyone on this show. Join us for a little Part I break of our sort-of, but maybe, but not really beginning of the finale. (It's not our fault.)

Half prepping for D-Day and half D-Day, we watch most couples give their answers and those PAs finally get their spot on the shows as "boxing instructors" and "Guy at Bar #1 and #2." Dr. Mali and Dr. Rule continue ranting about the editing issues of this season and whether or not they're ethical! They also discuss respectability politics, how and why matches were made based on false notions of who is "smart," or "accomplished," and...

Oussama surprises us all, Jen plans a culturally-insensitive ambush, Danielle plays with fire, and Nicole plans the ultimate power move. Dr. Mali finds out she has the same tarot cards of Danielle, and it's not exactly something to be proud of. Dr. Rule continues to plan the podcast's vacation to Columbia. This is probably our biggest episode yet, which makes sense, because the season is getting dramatic and steamy!

Juan and Jessica are in for a rude awakening, Scott and Lydia are our new contestants in Dr. Rule and Dr. Mali's favorite game called, "What have you been talking about for a year?", and Valentine and Carlos have Dr. Mali ranting about bisexuality and penetration, like she was born to do.

Wow! Support, support, support. Who has it? Whose is it to give? And can Shaquille get some of it?!?! Clint and Gina surprise us, Jasmine and Airris attempt to make some strides, and Nicole and Chris continue to drive us at a steady 25 MPH through Boringtown, USA. Dr. Rule and Dr. Mali try to make it a little interesting though, of course.

Welcome! Dr. Rule and Dr. Mali are bidding farewell to Nicole (hopefully), lusting at Debbie and Oussama, and Rishi and Jen discuss a relationship lost in translation. Listen for your essay question of the semester. Hint: It has to do something with: WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN TALKING ABOUT FOR THE LAST THREE YEARS?

Shaquille and Kirsten continue to wrestle with masculinity (and Dr. Rule and Dr. Mali help parse it out), Clint and Gina continue their non-relationship, Airris and Jasmine almost call it quits, Dr. Pia visits the couples, and intimacy continues to be misunderstood and woefully.....unexplored.

This week, Dr. Rule and Dr. Mali discuss the "arithmetic" of navigating marginalized (trans, Black, and/or Indigenous) experience, the entitlement of Danielle, the tiers of cheating in Jen and Rishi's relationship, and the false idea that Mahmoud is our anti-feminist of the season. (Spoiler alert: It's Danielle!)
