You didn't need those to recharge your day whatever that means you could done it on your own

[@Charlierose214]

I was little, but girl Ali & Desiree had two of the most shocking...shocking departures Frank & Brooks, because in both you could tell, the girls were ready to pick those, like literally little me was so shook!

[@alisias8365]

Brooks was really shocking. Totally made Chris look like second choice but they’re still married so what do I know. 😂

[@2011lillian]

The most educational episode of Roses & Rose: VCRs, Landlines, voicemails, contact lenses.... 😂

[@Yellowmenace18]

FYI - phone in the bathroom is so people, usually women can discreetly call for help if they are in danger without escalating the situation. #TheMoreUKnow

[@LSSYLondon]

Yup. Those phones save lives.

[@sarainglis5886]

If you don't understand the VCR and Blockbuster rant, I'm sorry, we can't be friends.

[@Celestial_here]

*My Favorite Rosé Moments:* - 6:48 “Spoiler alert: I don’t think Frank ever made it as a screenwriter.” 😂 That was such a burn for not seeing any of his work; I LOVE IT. Frank’s probably in tears right now. - 7:30 “Its just my heart; jump in. Stay a while.” and 7:44 Casey’s singing 😆 You didn’t even had to add anything to this; reiterating it was humor enough! - 10:57 VCR Rant, 14:10 Telephone Landlines 17:48 Voicemails 😂😂 Zima and her boomer technology! Haha... Please teach us more about your antiquated ways! And what’s Blockbuster?? 😂😂 - 21:25 Zima’s eyeglasses rant. Wait... Hold up.... You’re a negative 8.5??? Whaaaaatt?! Someone! Take away this woman’s driver’s license immediately!! 😆 Loved this Rosé episode! Casey and Rated-R/Justin were the highlights of that season. And again, you three did a stellar recap of a recap! Thanks for cheering us up during quarantine. (We need it!) 😄👏👏

[@heatherbocks]

I kind of adore Tayshia, so I’m excited! Hopefully things are good with Clare though

I remember how excited I was to get the "race car" VHS rewinder. Also, the first time we ever rented a DVD my Mom asked multiple times if she had to remind it before returning it to Blockbuster.

[@zeppelinhippie2485]

Literally love this host! Love her personality!

[@mayareads708]

I had completly forgotten about Frank. i loved him so much. i cried SO MUCH

[@megangottfried1459]

Wait why does Chris Harrison keep saying “man drama”, I didn’t know drama needed a pronoun. Is this because of the perception that men don’t usually participate in drama? Because that’s hardly my experience 😂

[@livinnparadise]

Megan Gottfried we sure could get drunk with a drinking game based on how many times he said “man drama” lol.

[@melissamilligan6507]

I hadn’t seen this season before. Loved your recap. And the reenactment of the guy wondering around in the garden was hilarious!

[@alliestella97]

Roberto is probably the hottest contestant on this show ever and I love ali she's one of my favs!

[@kparker905]

Really? In my opinion it was Will from Rachel's season, Shawn from Kaitlyn's, or if we are SOLELY talking about looks, Juan Pablo was my type.

[@gretchygrl517]

Agreed!!!

[@deeniesmothers9310]

I loved Roberto!

[@alliestella97]

@@kparker905 all great choices but Roberto is more my type physically and personality

[@alisias8365]

K Parker I could never get over Shawn’s hair. Definitely not my type. Will was cute though. Juan Pablo was attractive before you got to know him. 😏

[@bethannboldt281]

How in the world did Frank get to leave production, travel to Chicago to see Nicole? Today they would have sent cameras with him 😂

[@rhilavender]

Lauren, you stay reminding me of long Blockbuster lines and late fees and I am here for it.

[@bennisecreto4933]

The clips of Chris Harrison clarifying "to Iceland" stuck in there are HILLARIOUS! Great editing of Roses and Rosé!

[@jcsprandel]

LZ! You were on point this episode. Freaking love you!

[@AlexaCardon]

This was and still is my favorite season. Alli is still my fave bachelorette and I love everything about her. I remember being so sad when we would out Roberto and Alli broke up but obviously it all worked out!

[@TheIrene411]

Ali's season was my fav! Loved her & Roberto together...ok maybe Roberto & I in my dreams! Liked Ty and Chris too

[@yourpurpleness8666]

All those tangents are THE BEST, Lauren, I love your mind. Soooo appreciate the laughs.💜 2020...yep, we need 2020 vision, but I'm afraid we're gonna get 2020 hindsight... No comment on how Ali's hubby (Kevin?) DOES look just like Frank? Kinds eerie, since it's not a typical look.

[@leeanndisotell7356]

Love this!!! VCRs!!! Yes I know what that is and the rewind machine. Love it!!

[@monsterhighlover5535]

Love Tasha. Can't wait. She is amazing pick. So happy!!!!

[@gavipositano4774]

Omg yes how much I missed Roses and Rosé🥰

[@Tona9111]

That bit on contact lenses.. girl, I feel you!

[@Unsinkablejme]

I don't know how I ever lived without roses and rose. Hilarious! Oh and, ya, familiar with the vcr concept

[@thewrongalfredofilms]

I went from Trista to Ali, skipping the other 4. Ali was just such a fantastic lead! She was so open hearted and funny and charming. She had a wild ride as we saw again. Roberto was gorgeous and sweet but she needed a goofball like Frank. So happy for her and Kevin and their big eyed babies! This show really shows you that things all do work out in the end. Yes Lauren, let's get out the tools so we can get that play button working!

[@RebekahAntis]

This vcr side tangent is everything.

[@nattoluvsyou]

Hi Lauren. You’re not actually legally blind. The definition of legally blind is your best corrected vision is 20/200. Meaning the best vision you could get with your glasses or contacts on is seeing the big E at the top of the vision chart. I’m an Optician so I sell glasses and contacts for a living. -8.50 is definitely a damn heavy contacts Rx but since they correct your vision, you’re not legally blind. But damn. -8.50. That’s nuts girl.

[@livinnparadise]

I always wondered what legally blind meant. Thank you for the explanation.

[@LSSYLondon]

So how is Bill Cosby blind?

[@Sargassomermaid]

I miss the 2 on 1s and the loser being left in the middle of nowhere. Too good.

[@AmandaViolinista]

I remember watching this season and I neveeeer liked Frank!! Poor Ali... it was a good season but it was pretty clear that she would pick Roberto!

[@denisejaydub]

my first time watching L.Zima!! OMG she's hilarious!!!

[@Hollyes]

Did Lauren steal my tweet 😂 I definitely tweeted that Rated-R hobbled so Colton could hop that fence.

[@LostEveryMarble]

Colton hopped a fence for love ... rated r hobbled away in fear because he was busted.

[@Hollyes]

Lauren Vest while I don’t see how that’s relevant if we’re pick this apart, Colton hopped the fence to run away from production because his plan to lie to about his top pick being Hannah G backfired on him. He played himself.

[@gailsutherland346]

Ya good old days land line phone and VCR , ha ha enjoy Roses & Rose

[@stephaniesamuel9569]

I laughed so much in this one!! 😂😂😂 Also, Kenny was a wrestler, wasn’t he? So Rated R wasn’t the only one.

[@bricheese473]

I laugh out loud while watching these recaps everytime 😂

[@heatherryan3969]

Didn't Casey go on to date Vienna from Jake's season?

[@lauram8047]

Yes! The 3 of them were on Bachelor Pad 2. It was pretty chaotic

[@truthhurts8819]

Yay for Tayshia 🌹

[@sdc223]

Lauren!!! You are distracting me with all that ice in your wine 🤣🤣🤣 Love your recaps

[@bethannboldt281]

But that rainbow for Chris! He was such a gentleman when she broke his heart. His Mama raised him right.

[@ro-fz1jt]

What 🌈 and just because A child was raised right doesn't mean that they'll always do the right Thing

[@valeriag9443]

I think Frank did the right thing because if he’d stayed any longer Ali would’ve been more hurt

[@KarlyA.]

Ah yes, the days of the rewind machine 💛😂 🎶”Blockbuster Video, wow what a difference!” 🎶

[@pmd1933]

I like when you make the silent scream.

[@nancydaly4920]

Oh, Lauren- I absolutely adore this show and you! You are so spot on hilarious- I love the detours, I love your insight and most of all- I love the way you say in such a graceful way- - oh, no, dude- you were and are an idiot, OK? so happy that Ali and Chris both found their true loves and have beautiful families! Both great people!

[@DearJessicaCountMeIn]

Omg the VHS rewinder machine for when the VCR just couldn’t rewind fast enough 🤣 The good old days. “BE KIND, PLEASE REWIND”

[@RatedRGameGuy]

Pretty funny recap video, good job 😂 👏🏼

[@maryellenkidd3858]

I so appreciate the old school tech references😂that’s my childhood right there

[@mkwheeland87]

Frank was basically one big MYSTERY: did he have a girlfriend during the season? Did he have a real job? ... Was he there for self promote and make Hollywood connections? ... And how could he say “I’m gonna fall in love / get married” l during week 1 intros when he was in love w someone else?

[@beckyblack2333]

I think the bathroom phone was for emergency situations where you may not be able to get to the bedroom phone.

[@candacehopkinsrosas6158]

I watched this season and just like with Desiree and Brooks, it was CLEAR she was going to pick Frank, until he up and dumped her. I felt so bad for Roberto (and Chris) for proposing and thinking he was actually the top pick. I’m convinced this is why she and Roberto didn’t last. I’m not sure how Chris deals, but good for them 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@stephm2009]

Ali’s season of the Bachelorette is still one of my favorite’s. At the time, I thought Frank was the one and was completely heartbroken for her when he broke up her, Now that’s I have some perspective and looked by the recap, maybe he was bad as Justin!. But, I did hear on the Bachelorette reunion that Ali saw Frank after her broken engagement with Roberto and she just wasn’t made for anybody on the season but it was definitely one of the most entertaining. And yes Lauren, I know a VHS, I had one and had to always rewind before returning the disk tape back to Blockbuster. Hahaha the good old days.!

[@SomebodysWatchnYou]

Is it any wonder why Ali said she hated being on the show?

[@ccl7118]

Kenny layne (king) from Rachel season was a professional wrestler

[@9babyblu]

LAUREN!! Your Blockbuster speech, I REMEMBER!! 😂🤣

[@janesamthasolis]

I’m 23 and I remember VCR’s and having to rewind movies!

[@dorimardelavega]

Roberto was the hottest of all!

[@paulojrneto]

Anyone else thought that Ali was short for Alison but she's actually called Alexandra? (And her middle name is Elaine!)

[@shaunajex8319]

I'm glad tayshia is going to be the new Bachelorette!!

[@edenwomble2177]

I’ve been wearing “mind glasses” for years! 🤪🍾

[@TheShuaness]

Your "Oh I see" made me almost choke on my halloumi hahah

[@shannon.a.smithh]

Whoa I forgot about those rewinding machines but wow, nostalgia.

[@joanneleyva4942]

Lauren, you are so beautiful with your glasses on and no makeup!

[@beckslb56]

Super excited for Tayshia but was ready to see some older men on Clare’s season

[@deeniesmothers9310]

They are a perfect age group for Tayshia, so hopefully she gets engaged.

[@ThePinkHanger]

I miss the blockbuster days.. not for the movies but it wasnt 2020 lol

[@thelorak2494]

Be kind, rewind!

[@ccmarie9838]

Yes! Was scrolling looking for this comment!

[@deeniesmothers9310]

Lauren is so damn funny! The Justin chase scene was so iconic.

[@nikkihayes6633]

1998 baby here and yes I know what a vcr is. We used one in our house as kids and had a big collection of the movies. Never went to blockbuster tho

[@kolleenallen5351]

Honestly, I want a VCR again...

[@jigiw]

very happy clare find love and tayshia bachelorette.

[@heatherryan3969]

I can guarantee that if Tayshia gets engaged on the Bachelorette, it won't last.

[@LSSYLondon]

She has already had overexposure in the bachelor world.

[@beachgoddess14]

I can not believe I remembered Casey’s name 😂😂 the only one I remembered bc, well, you all have seen the season....

[@amychristine5124]

I was really looking forward to Claire. I mean Taysha was ok. But I just remember how indecisive she was on Paradise. Boo.

[@lindawiedemann4647]

Hah! “What the Frank “ ❤️

[@littleflower9536]

I kind of miss 2010 fashion! ... but then I don’t.... but then I do...

[@embeth446]

Lots of long shorts and long necklaces for Ali :)

[@edenwomble2177]

Omg I’m a -6.5 on mine! I never meet other legally blind people. Everyone says they are, and then they have a -2.😂

[@edenwomble2177]

I used to be a -7.5 but hey, progress!

[@ExitSiign]

legit there needs to be a "Legally Blonde" parody of this... and I haven't yet Googled it to see if it has been done before XD

[@kerrylyndsay902]

Who is it that Ali looks like? I'm kind of getting 90s Jessica Simpson meets Britney Spears vibes.

[@hollywood3321]

I was thinking Jamie Lynn Spears!

[@livinnparadise]

Britney Spears maybe? I love her look. So natural. Hair hanging loose and not much makeup. She’s a true beauty and still looks as great 10 years later.

[@kristenp1606]

Be kind, rewind - girl yes!

[@embeth446]

Frank is not much better than Rated R. He basically just admitted 10 years later that Nicole “the ex girlfriend” was not an ex at all; She was a new girlfriend he’d just started dating after applying for the show. Nick Viall said on a podcast that he actually used to work with that girl, and she basically confirmed Frank was dating her when he left for the show.

[@homeschoolmamaself-care]

Haha. I hear ya. 8.5 here too. Not officially legally blind, but all the optometry staff joke that I am.

[@mkwheeland87]

Am I the only one who actually didn’t hate Rated R? Well, besides the fact that he was Jed before Jed.

[@ccrisc100]

Not the only one. You can tell she wasn't going to pick him. She was angry as opposed to hurt. I love he's the one who called on Kasey for "fibbing". Takes one to know one 😛

[@mkwheeland87]

Cris C the producers def told on Rated R for his trip to Allie ok crutches and in the same way they told Rates R about the tattoo guy. Lol yeah fibber made me laugh

[@starchanneljoseph]

Desiree literally set herself up to have the same thing happen with Brooks as what happened with Ali and Frank (except Brooks had better intentions.) Desiree and Brooks also had a one-one-one at the Hollywood sign at the first week, they both were each other’s front runners throughout the entire thing, then they both go to tropical islands for Fantasy Suite Week, They both were somewhat on a dock during their breakup and both of them were completely blindsided. COINCIDENCE, I THINK NOT!! Desiree also had a “Chris” in the final two. Which Desiree is still happily married to 😊. Speaking of Desiree, this greatest seasons ever thing wouldn’t be complete with out an episode of Desiree’s season and also Chris Soules’ season!!

[@michelleyustira7640]

I'm starting to get a gist of Lauren's coffee order. It's cold brew or ice long black

[@rebeccathomas6858]

Yyyeeeepppp! I am a -8.5 too!!! Blind women unite!!!

[@barigell]

Roberto was my fave!

[@teachermichelle208]

What was she drinking at the beginning?

[@adamkristib1996]

Eventually this show will have to start looking for people outside of the "circle". Everyone knows everyone, they all start looking the same and I am not talking skin color.

[@stephanief.7416]

Fun fact- Ali admitted on the Bachelor Happy Hour podcast that she still had a boyfriend when she went on the Bachelor. LOL

[@livinnparadise]

Stephanie F. What?! Really? Well that was hypocritical if that was the case. Dang

[@erinkoster8654]

Did she dump him to be on the show though? It isn’t great but it’s not THAT bad, if that’s the case. Now if they were still together the entire time, that’s different.

[@stephanief.7416]

According to her, no, she didn’t break up with him beforehand lol. She didn’t go much into depth about it, but it couldn’t have been a serious relationship like that guy Rated-R seemed to have. Gosh I wish I could remember which podcast episode it was that she said this!

[@kathleenhines9314]

My fav was the runner up. Chris!

[@livinnparadise]

They weren’t voice mails they were message machines.

[@luv2467]

Yes!!!! Love her I pray she finds “the one!”

[@JJTheRealtor]

The bachelorette is the most unseasoned show...where’s the flavor or the spice lol

[@highland_persuasion]

Frank was way worse than Rated R was. At least the latter was more obviously concerned about fame. Frank tried to act his way up to the top 3, which is not bad for an average-looking guy. And oh god, Kasey's nasality.

[@Nezukochann5335]

Ahh I’m -8.75! I’m legally blind too! Lol

[@teenie36214]

8:30 😂

[@mkwheeland87]

Fake Frank. Lol at Lauren Zima’s nicknames..... okay but why did Frank not get any scrutiny during the show? He had suspect motives and dumped his gf (that he loved) for a chance to be on TV?

[@luv2467]

Haha no one cares!!! Roberto is freaking beautiful!!! Her loss for sure plus he loves JESUS so that dude is amazing! He deleted his tweet about his engagement so we really don’t know if he is still engaged?
