    Wedding or Worst Day Ever?

    Season two of the hit Netflix dating series “Love is Blind” has certainly kept viewers on their toes. Over the last two weeks there were love triangles, stupid fights, skeptical family members, and lots of tacky, gold stemware. With the finale about to drop, some writers at The Tailgate Society predicted who will say “I […]

    Bahama Mama: “The Bachelorette” Power Rankings – Episode #7

    Things heat up both literally and physically when Becca and her final six men head south from Richmond, Virginia, to the Bahamas.  Becca is tasked with the near impossible task of eliminating two men, leaving four to go to the coveted hometown’s next week.   Last week I predicted Jason, Colton, Blake & Garrett would […]

    Aw Shucks: “The Bachelorette” Power Rankings – Episode #6

    This week brings us to exotic Richmond, Virginia, where Chris continues to play the victim card, Colton keeps on bullshitting, and two previous sleepers make waves.  I gotta give it to this season; unlike others, I have no freaking idea how this thing is ending or which way Becca is leaning.  We are down to […]

    What Happened in Vegas: “The Bachelorette” Power Rankings – Episode #5

    This week’s episode was all about Jordan & David’s 2-on-1 date and a “Jekyll & Hyde” Chris that can’t decide if he’s the most confident man on the planet or the most insecure.  We learned very little about anyone else’s relationship with Becca and ultimately said goodbye to three, leaving us in the single digits […]

    The Good, the Bad, and the Wounded: “The Bachelorette” Power Rankings – Episode #3

    Kim Jong Un & another dictator tried to keep me from watching Becca on her journey for l-o-v-e tonight, so it took a little longer. We finally got through episode #3, though.  The guys impressed by (for the most part) being really respectful of one another, but somehow we still ended up with two of […]

    Turn Down for Drama: “The Bachelorette” Power Rankings – Episode #2

    With cameos by Lil Jon, Fred Willard, and Rachel & Bryan, this should have been a much more easygoing two hours than it was.  Three story lines on Monday night kept us from getting to know these guys much more than we did in episode #1.  Hang on to your butts. The drama is starting […]

    Bachelor in Paradise Finale Recap

    Although I’ve only been recapping things here at The Tailgate Society for a couple of short weeks, Monday night marked the end of this summer’s version of Bachelor in Paradise.  What does that mean, exactly?  What is at stake for this summer’s star-crossed lovers?  Can love truly develop and thrive in just a few short […]

    Bachelor in Paradise, Twinning, and the elusive “Love Square”

    In case you missed it, you can catch up on all the important happenings that led up to this week’s Bachelor in Paradise in last week’s recap right here. On the penultimate week on Bachelor in Paradise, it (at long last) feels like time for the couples to figure their relationships out and get down […]

  • Love on the Rocks? Catching Up With Bachelor in Paradise

    Love on the Rocks? Catching Up With Bachelor in Paradise

    For those criminally unfamiliar, ABC’s The Bachelor series is the basic reality show equivalent to college football’s signing day. There’s dozens of hungry suitors each willing to sell their souls and reach new depths of depravity in order to lock up the preening prized recruit. I’m not trying to disparage either The Bachelor/Bachelorette or college […]
