Will You Accept This Rose? - Podcast Rankings and reviews

Warning: Do NOT try to do your makeup while listening to the podcast—the most recent episode with Gareth Reynolds and Jerry Trainor was so funny, I messed up my eyebrows. But jagged eyebrows that make my coworkers think I’m angry all the time are a small price to pay for all the joy and laughter this podcast brings me. Arden, Katie, and Anna are some of my best friends, even if they don’t know it, and it has been so helpful to visit Grief Island with my best friends from this pod after my mom died a few years ago. Love this podcast!

Arden and the production team manage to make an often predictable show feel fresh and fun every single week. Arden is amazing at making the listeners and guests feel like family. Like why was I singing Happy Birthday to Whitney while along in my kitchen last week??? I had to remind myself not only was no one around, but I don’t even know these people though sometimes it feels like I do.

I’ve loved listening to Arden becoming a champion over the years, and after seeing her this week on Righteous Gemstones, I thought “girl!!! you are a complete champion now!" And when Stifler insulted her dress, I was like “that dress SLAYS!” and was fully ready to throw hands for my bestie.

I’m so grateful for this podcast. Arden’s authenticity is so inspiring, and as a fellow messy eater, I relate with her so much. I love how much Katie advocates for rescue animals, and I’ve been introduced to so amazing talent through Arden’s network of guests. I could go on and on… but I’ll sum up by saying this podcast is a highlight of my week, and I hope it never ends!

P.S… Arden if you’re reading this! I would like to formally invite you to my sister’s wedding in August. She’s inviting my dad, who I haven’t talked to in years. It would be sooo fun and comforting to have you and Dr. Rosenieh there for moral support, and we can all trauma bond over our bad dads that made us funny 😉

Y’all are the best and I hope you never change🫶

HIlairous podcast, BEST guests, relatable, and always a feel-great vibe. When I’m having a bad day or week, I re-listen to back episodes and it literally lifts my mood. Thank you, Arden - you are my Zoloft!

I’ve been listening since the first year of this podcast, and never miss an episode. Wish Arden could recap EVERYTHING I watch.

Side note; Katie, it’s obvious you’re spoiled every season. Girl, same! I am too; but don’t pretend I don’t know - it’s disingenuous. There’s no way you ALWAYS guess 2 of the top 3 finalists in EVERY pre-season podcast, come on…you know.

I’m honestly a little embarrassed to say that I’ve never reviewed this podcast, as it’s absolutely my favorite and now that I’m in between seasons, I find myself actively missing it. I’ve been watching The Bachelor franchise since season one when I was in high school, and granted I missed a few seasons, but what brought me back consistently was bible scripture tattoos and boobs in the moonlight along with hilarious guests, a stellar “production team,” and perhaps my only “real” para social friend, Arden. The commentary and breakdown of each episode is obviously pee-in-your-pants funny, but part of what makes this show so special to me is the genuine hope for love, that, despite the Bachelor trying its best to make impossible, Arden and friends seems to keep believing in. It’s helped me through many a lonely place and I really think there’s a sweet spot for a show about The Bachelor and grief that Will You Accept This Rose manages to fill perfectly. Thank you all for doing the lord’s work, can’t wait to see you on the beach for Paradise!
