Chubby Bunny Champion | The Bachelor (2025) Women Tell All Recap
01:02:22|BachelorClues flies solo as PaceCase embarks on a three-week wedding extravaganza, bringing you an in-depth breakdown of The Bachelor Season 29, Episode 7 – The Women Tell All. From lackluster gameplay to missed production opportunities, this episode had its highs and lows. Carolina stole the spotlight with her villainous embrace, donning a jacket emblazoned with her infamous catchphrase, but production fumbled the reveal. Dina and Carolina’s ongoing feud spilled from the show onto social media, revealing the blurred lines between reality and the game. Meanwhile, Grant navigated the hot seat with robotic precision, and a surprise Disney promo with the Magic Mirror felt more like a distraction than an enhancement.__Join the Pit on Patreon for more exclusive content and shows! : / gameofroses__Want coaching tips? email gameofrozes@gmail.com__Follow us on TikTok: @gameofrosesFollow us on Instagram-Game of Roses: @gameofrosespodPacecase: @pacecaseBachelor Clues: @bachelorclues
