Our Editor's Take

The Betchelor podcast discusses reality TV dating shows with hilarious candor. Kay Brown and Jared Freid, both experienced podcasters, are the cohosts. Brown began hosting this program in 2018, a year after the podcast started. Freid guest-hosted for years and became a cohost in 2022. They recap The Bachelorette, The Bachelor, Bachelor in Paradise, and Love Is Blind. Freid is a standup comedian who jokes about dating. He provides witty assessments of contestants. Brown is a social media manager with unique insight into contestants' popularity. They also have guests, including show contestants.

Anyone who watches The Bachelor franchise knows there's a lot to discuss! Brown and Freid don't miss anything. On The Betchelor podcast, they reveal which contestants are boring, fake, or awkward. Freid enjoys the limousine entrances and hometown episodes best. He loves the families who weren't camera-ready and awkward parent exchanges. Brown likes the "Men Tell All'' and "Women Tell All'' episodes most. She laughs about the makeovers people have after seeing themselves on TV.

The Betchelor hosts make selections and predictions. They pick the winners and give hometown and fantasy suite awards. They play "Would You Rather" and predict which bachelors and bachelorettes will go to Bachelor in Paradise. Some podcast episodes name a villain of the week and an Instagram rising star. Each season, they give Betchie Awards for the best and worst moments.

The podcast reveals how dating shows have changed. The initial hosts discuss Trista and Ryan's season without social media. They name favorite couples who lasted, like Sean and Catherine and Molly and Jason. They share which weddings they think were fake, including one they found extra weird.

The Betchelor also covers dramatic moments. There's the scandal between Corinne and DeMario that stopped production. There's the woman who signed on as a bachelorette until the bachelor came back for her. There's also the ultimate drama involving ex-host Chris Harrison.

The Betchelor podcast hosts say what everyone thinks while watching. But they say it better. In other words, listeners might spray their coffee!
