I generally enjoy the content of this pod, but recently there have been more clinking and scraping noises that are distracting to the listener.

I dragged my boyfriend into the pit and we get so much enjoyment from trying to predict Clues and PC’s errors and creatures and Jorges each week

Pace Case is interrupting way too much. She does this to Clues constantly and to guests as well. Please be more mindful…

Omg great show!!! Just discovered you guys and having so much fun! I would love to hear a vintage recap…. Maybe in the off seasons? Start with iconic Courtney Robertson, maybe :-)

Every week, I watch the show on the day it airs just so I can listen to this show as soon as it comes out!! Pacecase and Clues have the absolute best insights on the show and make me laugh out loud every episode. Great chemistry between them, and they make me feel like I have the insider’s scoop on the show. Absolutely fabulous!!!

I actually find feel as though it’s more Clues not allowing PaceCase to talk/interrupting her. Seems like he just wants it to be his show- why have a cohost if it won’t be conversational?

LET CLUES FINISH HIS THINKING! Multiple times last few episodes you completely talk over him and don’t let him finish his thinking/response— especially when a guest is present

The woman (sorry don’t know name) interrupts way too much. I’m out.

I LOVE Game of Roses!!!!! Clues and Pacecase have the best cohost chemistry and I’m constantly laughing out loud while listening. Their impersonations, especially of Grocery Store Joe, get me every time. I’m so grateful to have this podcast to look forward to 2 times a week (and a proud Patreon subscriber!). Thank you for this amazing podcast!! Edit to add: the Golden Bachelorette accents are the funniest thing EVER. Please never change PC and BC!!!

I really enjoy this podcast - I’m still watching Bachelor/Bachelorette/Golden Bachelorette partially so I can listen to these recaps! I always enjoy their perspective and am definitely being dragged into the pit!

…and have a whole new appreciation for the ridiculousness that is this franchise. Hosts are top notch, lingo is hilarious, analysis is spot on. Worth every moment of your time!

Between Pace and Clues! The videos are so.much.fun! Pace is glowing and Clues, your blue eyes are so lovely and kind looking!

Tall literally took up a good 15 mins on 9/16 digging deeper, arguing about the darkness of DLP. It’s annoying and unnecessary. Original review: Chop chop Pace Case, you gotta go I’m sorry but what was wrong with you, PC during the August 6th recap episode? You sounded distracted, confused, and like you were making everything up on the go. We know you guys read from a pre written transcript, so…? I find myself constantly annoyed with PC during every episode. Annoyed every time she interrupts BC, every time she says something entirely unrelated or completely inaccurate, and every time she whines about something triggering or “scary.” Idk how GOR can continue to grow with PC making up 50% of this duo. Sorry Chad, but you have some serious decisions to make about your partner. I know you know she’s seriously flawed. Bachelor Clues is WAY TOO GOOD to share the greatness of GOR with Pace Case!

Sorry, Clues. You lost me this episode. Unsubscribing after your rip on healthcare workers.

I wish Pace Case didn’t interrupt Clues so much. She’s doing it a lot more than she used to. He can hardly finish a sentence. It’s rough listening.

I listened all through the pandemic and BC and PC have ushered me through the darkness and into this Golden Age of the bachelor. The way they covered Jenn Tran’s season has been both funny and respectable. They help you see the good, bad, and ugly of the game while giving insightful and funny hot takes all along the way! Pit dweller am I for all things GOR!

Love this podcast and literally lol every episode. I only watch the dreaded & icky bach/bachelorette series anymore to listen to GOR. really has changed my perception of reality TV

Some political related judgements, which are never acceptable. Otherwise, the worst part about this show is that they think they can sing.

There is so much to love. Come for the bachelor fandom and recaps but stay for the deep analysis, amazing report between Pace Case and Clues, inside jokes that literally change the way you watch, Clues’s conspiracy towns, Pace Case’s “thiiiiisssss creature” identification; the way they make each other laugh, and so much more. I want to be BFFs with the both of them and you will too!

Why don’t you guys speak in a way that welcomes new listeners? Too many acronyms and code words! I have no idea what you guys are talking about half the time so it’s hard to invest.

What happened to this pod? For years it was fun, and then they started bending over backwards to defend extremely and verifiably problematic people. They seem to have gone so far down the rabbit hole of “nothing is real,” that they think anyone can do whatever they want - regardless of whether it’s on the show or off.

Laugh out loud for all bachelor fans. So funny

The Game of Roses pod is the gift that keeps on giving. I gave it a 5 min chance here and there for a little…and then one day it clicked! I have resided deep in The Pit for the last few years. I LOVE the GOR team. Best pod. They have added so much additional content to The Patreon. The hosts care about equality and human rights and all of that other silly stuff!

This very quickly became my favorite podcast. I was slowly falling out of love with the Bachelor but this show pulled me right back in. PaceCase and BachelorClues make me laugh out loud non-stop, it’s a must listen to. Though just note they do have a strange hyper-fixation on race, not sure if that’s a California thing but it is a bit unsettling that skin color seems so top of mind to them when discussing people.

I love the show, been listening almost since day one. I’m all for y’all adding in new segments, but would really appreciate timestamps in the episode description. I’m sure people love the what you’re watching segment, but it’s not my jam and I would much rather get right to Bach nation news because that’s what I’ve been here for all this time.

Rip off the mask and expose the truth of reality tv- while also enjoying the pants off of yourself- by listening to Game of Roses. The most tapped in, behind the scenes, but whole heartedly reality tv immersed and obsessed duo that exists. Fall into the pit with us all pit dwellers. You won’t be sorry, and you’ll never want to climb out.

gotten through the pandemic without these two, and now I’m so pleased to see many people are joining us in the pit. Praise be the real dark lords, Pace Case and Bachelor Clues

My favorite podcast! Never a bad episode.

I love how in-depth these two go on the Bach and appreciate the culture & terminology that has been cultivated around this topic but I almost can’t listen anymore and it’s disappointing. Partially because the general egotistical attitude and self importance has gotten out of control. But mainly because the dynamic between the hosts has really started to give me an icky feeling. I can’t help but feel like Bachelor Clues is constantly explaining obvious terms and concepts with a condescending tone to both Pace Case and the listener, and that the way he responds to Pace Case’s ideas and thoughts often reads to me as impatience and insulting to her intelligence. His tone really really bugs me and brings me back to times I have been talked to similarly by men who think they’re smarter & that their ideas inherently have more value. Frankly I often walk away from the pod feeling bad for Pace Case and feeling condescended to myself. Bach Clues seems openly dismissive of her a lot of the time. It almost feels like he sees himself as the talent of the show and her commentary at times doesn’t align with the direction he thinks it should go (even though she provides a much needed perspective and it wouldn’t work without her!!) Perhaps she doesn’t feel what I’m feeling and I’m raising an issue out of nothing (I truly do hope that’s the case!) but I personally don’t feel comfortable listening as much anymore.

I’ve been listening to this podcast for YEARS. I’m sorry I didn’t review sooner! It’s so fun and funny. Chad and Lizzy are great. I love watching all of the Bachelor shows, but I may enjoy these recaps even more. Love the GOR terms and sports-like breakdowns. I also appreciate being kept up to date on all the latest Bachelor Nation news. I somehow avoided using any pit lingo in this review.

Great episode. Love you guys!

This has been my favorite podcast for a long time and they do not disappoint. Hearing your intro and your voices, I know I am going to enjoy the next hour! Never stop being you

I love the hosts and the bits crack me up. You will be speaking a new language if you start listening. It’s your Rosetta Stone to unlock the secrets of PTCs, STCO, HuJu, and of course, the love levels. You will also watch The Bachelor/Bachelorette/BIP and assorted spinoffs like it’s a sport.

It is deeply disheartening when individuals make offhand comments like praising Michelle Young for wearing fur as the best outfits of the night. What have non-human animals done to deserve such cruelty? Why do we subject them to torture and skin them for their fur, sometimes while they are still alive? Dogs, fox cubs, who are closely related to dogs and share similarities with cats, are electrocuted annually or vaginally with 240 V of electricity at just seven months old. Additionally, five million wild animals suffer in agonizing traps for their fur every year. How do people who appear to be kind-hearted not see the cruelty in this? How can they fail to connect the dots to the movement for justice and freedom from torture? Fur should not be a fashion status symbol; it represents a heartbreakingly sad reality. If you have any pets, such as cats or dogs, just look at them and contemplate the atrocities that are being perpetuated. It is a reign of terror that is being condoned, and even glamorized.

I’ve been meaning to write a review for a while to support their work. I discovered them on Chatty Broads and was immediately impressed by their academic analysis of reality television and biting humor. I lose it whenever Clues does impressions of the Great One or zooms in on face plays in Clues Corner. As an art historian and film buff, I used to feel embarrassed and guilty about watching reality tv, but they have taught me to view it through the same analytical lens typically reserved for more “serious” cultural products. I used to think I didn’t like sports, but now I realize I like the Bachelor as a sport. Those complaining about their disconnect from the “real emotions” of reality tv players do not fully grasp the thesis of their project. I also happen to like the abrasive sound effects and songs as part of the GOR aesthetic. Highly recommended for art and film nerds who watch The Bachelor.

Please please please change the sound effects and consider talking less about other reality shows!!!! As someone who listens to every episode I jump out of my seat when I hear PLAY 🌀📢PLAY🌀📢 PLAY 🌀📢OF THE WEEEEEEEEEEK and ERROR 🛑👺ERROR 🛑👺ERROR 🛑👺OF THE GAME. And I don’t watch any other reality shows so it bugs me that you’re constantly talking about love island and love is blind!

This is by far my favorite Bachelor podcast. When I first started listening, I was like, what is this lingo they are using? But now I’m DEEP in the GOR pit and I love when I watch the show and think, “How would GOR score this HUJU?”, or, “I bet that’s the creature of the week!” Keep up the great work GOR!

I have listened for awhile and something I have been feeling for the past year is that PaceCase and Clues have gotten too in their heads. I love their theories and methodology for how they watch the show but they have gone too far in the gamification that they no longer talk about any emotional things. I am having a hard time explaining but ever since Clues started training people everything is stated as end all be all fact, it’s all game, nothing is just peoples emotions/feelings. Idk….something is off. I have never found myself skipping ahead and lately I have.

I wasn’t a Bachelor person until the fence jump promo. Soon after, a friend introduced me to “a vaguely satanic podcast that views the show with a parasocial lens”. For the last couple years, I kept trudging through and watching horribly poorly produced Bachelor franchise shows JUST to keep up with Bachelor Clues’s and Pace Case’s commentary. The pit added some levity to the darkness that was the bubble era. I am here for the long haul 🫡

Please PLEASE stop talking about Traitors. As good as this season is, the other versions of the show are far better as far as who the traitors are and how they play. The UK version made me cry for crying out loud.

Looking for a good bachelor podcast but these people are extremely annoying. Don’t bother

I’ve never rated a podcast but the convincing chanson pleading with me to rate the show moved me. I used to love Nick viall’s podcast but it declined in quality. And I was a die-hard fan of Love to See it… but honestly, Game of Roses is the new thing. THIS is the commentary we want. It’s a really great show. I listen every week now and it’s in my top 5. Im pretty sure I’ll be listening exclusively from here on out in regards to bachelor content. I’d love to listen to some celeb guests! Not sure if they’ve had any before I started listening but Jack Black or David Spade would be so great. Or maybe some athletes who watch the show. Fingers crossed for that. These two are hilarious and could truly bounce off some great guests conversation-wise! Go Game of Roses!!

Just a thought, the name for the player who retrieves and reads the date card, the Fortune Teller.

I LOVE this podcast and the hosts, but lately they’ve been so deeply invested in the game aspect they’re completely disregarding human emotion. The latest episode Pace Case gave Kelsey’s story about her mom’s cancer and passing “play of the game” and said it was obvious this means she was paid to be a FTRR player. Just feels like they’re so detached from the fact that some of these things are REAL life issues and they contestants are not thinking about game play. Feels slimy to use that as play of the game. Disappointing.

GoR changed my life. I fell headfirst into the pit and split open my skull, scrambling my brains around the pit’s floor, and dragging multiple friends down to roll around in the carnage. It was a dark place for maybe a year (blame Covid), then I scooped my brains back up and glued my skull back together, and now I sit calmly on a stool that raises me a couple feet off the Pit Floor. Thank you for being my parasocial besties, and enriching my life in so many ways. PBOBG!

I have gotten back into the bachelor and these two talk about things I never even thought about when I used to watch. I must be “late to the game” because holy smokes. Fascinating!

Can’t get enough! Not ashamed to admit I schedule life around GOR!

I now watch the bachelor just so I can listen to this podcast! I know some people are not into the sound effects but I love them they make me laugh.

I don’t think I would still even be watching the bachelor anymore if it wasn’t for this podcast! Clues and pacecase always make me laugh and dark seeker is great! I like never miss an episode and look forward to it every week! Thanks GOR team!

Do you guys know you pronounce so many players and LEADS names wrong…?! Do you care? I enjoy the podcast overall but always have to forward skip over all the jingles 🙉
