James is the number one guy in VPR and we are over The Valley
Saturday Apr 27, 2024
Saturday Apr 27, 2024
We are still podcasting, just on a different timeline, thank you for hanging with us! We are excited to see James really bringing not only number one Guy energy, but a lot of maturity everyone else is missing, Tom manages to surprise us still by being the worst and The Valley is becoming a little too hard to watch; we talk about their attitudes towards sex and what it means to be a empath (spoiler: Kristin is not one).

Rage and no ranch - Bachelor wrapup - VPR S11E10&11 - The Valley S1E3&4
Monday Apr 15, 2024
Monday Apr 15, 2024
We missed you! And we are back to dive into some rough waters of the last couple episodes of VPR and The Valley. We revisit episode 10 where Ariana shows her true feelings at a water tasting and then at Scheana’s beach outing. Then we get into Schwartz and Katie both being into Tori, meanwhile Joe is wondering WTF is up with Schwartz’s green bracelet decision. Meanwhile on The Valley, everyone is coming at Kristen for something everyone seemed to be involved in. We are still getting the hang of this crew, but thus far love Luke!

Well, first off we recap last weeks episode that was lost, and something finally happened on Vanderpump Rules! We breakdown this packed episode that had everything from long-time secrets, to awkward legal conversations, to confusing friendship efforts, to what could be viewed as a “revenge bang”. We then share with you our first impressions of the first couple episodes of “The Valley”. Finally, it’s Joey’s finale, and it did not disappoint. Daisy navigates the finale week with so much strength and love. We have loved this season, and are sad to see it end!

The Scheana Show - Vanderpump Rules S11E7 & Fantasy suites - The Bachelor S28E9
Saturday Mar 16, 2024
Saturday Mar 16, 2024
Our eyes might be stuck in a permanent eye roll after watching another week of Scheana’s efforts to make Ariana and Tom’s breakup about her. She’s really milking this grieving process. Lisa and production continue to champion Tom’s redemption arc, so we pour ourselves another glass to help us get through the bullshit. Meanwhile Joey is with the final three women in Mexico for “fantasy suites”. After he tells two of the women that he’s falling in love with them, we really question how this will all play out. Hearts will be broken.

What about me - Vanderpump Rules S11E6 & Joey meets the families - Bachelor S28E8
Saturday Mar 09, 2024
Saturday Mar 09, 2024
This week on Drama Bonded, we review some Easter candy and discuss aging and social media. Then Lake Tahoe gets more complicated with weird meditation moments and hard conversations. All the while Katie and Ariana are being their best selves, making money moves in Weho. We question why production is trying so hard to redeem Sandoval and make Ariana the villain in their story. Meanwhile in Bachelor world, we accompany Joey to meet the top four women’s families. Protective parents ask all the hard questions, but Joey navigates all of it with his emotional intelligence and suave curls.

Tahoe woes - Vanderpump Rules S11Ep5 & Hometown rose - The Bachelor S28Ep7
Saturday Mar 02, 2024
Saturday Mar 02, 2024
We were hoping for fun in the sun in Lake Tahoe, but storm Sandoval has dampened another episode of Vanderpump Rules. We also discuss some of Rachel’s insights concerning the things being said about her this season. Then we are off to Jasper, Canada where we find 6 women hoping for a hometown rose. Some women are ready and eager, while others express some unexpected hesitation. Joey struggles to juggle hearts and doubts, but ends with a surprising final four. We have no idea where the season goes from here!

We start out addressing the infamous quote from Tom Sandoval’s profile piece in The NY Times. How does this all keep getting worse? That leads us into another heavy episode of Vanderpump Rules, where we talk through some hard-to-discuss mental health topics and then embrace the brief levity of James’s pricey pool party. The Bachelor also felt heavier this week! We see Joey struggling to navigate all of his own insecurities while simultaneously trying to grow connections with the remaining women. Emotions are running high in Canada, eh?

Holy moly there was a lot to talk about this week. Scheana is reinventing her music career while Schwartz tries to get “the band” back together. With Lisa giving Tom hard advice and everyone gathering at SUR for “See You Next Tuesday”, it’s easy to forget what season we’re watching. Meanwhile in Bachelor land, we had 2 episodes to cover! Joey and the women are tripping into love all over Malta and Spain. We endured the dreaded two-on-one, wet sausages, abstract paintings, questionable flamenco fashion, and are looking forward to more travel and stronger connections.

In our free-flow episode, we get into episode 2 of Vanderpump Rules and question things like: How could James be a voice or reason? Why is Lala not supporting Ariana’s boundaries? How does Ann do this crappy job? And other important topics. Meanwhile in Bachelor world, Sydney has transitioned into full-blast-mean-girl bully mode and is targeting Maria. We are already dreading the inevitable 2:1, and just want more costumes and tennis dates.

Well Vanderpump Rules is back, and we are here to talk about it! We start off discussing the premier, and then move into more Vanderpump tea with our thoughts on additional content from “Rachel Goes Rogue” and seeing the Toms interviewed on “The Viall Files”. We then transition into a brighter shinier Bachelor world, where energy is high and everyone is ready to fall in love. From wedding dress dives to capturing Joey’s heart, we both agree that so far this Bachelor season is feeling fresh.

Rachel Leviss released the first episode to her new podcast “Rachel Goes Rogue” where she intends to finally tell her side of the Scandoval story. Well we listened… and are here to raise our eyebrows and share our thoughts. Then to prep for Joey’s season of The Bachelor, we compare notes on the new women and discuss which of the women is most likely to kiss Joey first, have the best fashion, have no personality… and much more! We are looking forward to discussing all things VPR and Bachelor with you.
