Crime and Roses

It’s Black History Month, and we are focusing on stories from the Black community.

Last week we saw Clayton give a ... strange response to Teddi saying she was a virgin. That led us into a conversation about what a virgin “looks like.” We also discuss the sexualization of black girls.

This week Danielle gives us more information about the over-sexualization of black girls in this country, with information from a recent study.

She also tells us about the murder of Mary Ellen Deener. Her killer was caught the very next day, only to be released from prison to go Christmas shopping in 1973, to never return.

Lester Eubanks, who now is in his mid-70s, was described as a 5-foot-11-inch male with black hair and brown eyes. At the time of his disappearance, he weighed approximately 175 pounds. Other unique physical characteristics include a mole under his left eye.

Anyone who has information on Eubanks is asked to call the U.S. Marshals Service tip line at 866-4-WANTED.

CONTENT WARNING: Child murder and child sexual assault. (Story Starts at: 3:43).

We were given exclusive early access to the new season of Forensic Files II, Season 3, on HLN. Forensic Files II is a revival continuation of the long-running American documentary true-crime series Forensic Files. Join us as we live-tweet during the premiere using hashtag #ForensicFilesII. All New Episodes Of Forensic Files II Start Sunday, February 27 at 10 pm ET. Only on HLN.

Ep. 162: It’s Getting Pretty White in Austria (Season 26, Week 7)

We are bringing back the tarot readings for every episode of Clayton’s season of The Bachelor. This week Megan asked the Final Rose Tarot cards what we can expect from this season of the Bachelor. Megan pulled the “ITM” card, which equates to the Hermit in the traditional Major Arcana. This card is urging us to be still in the moment and truly listen to our innermost desires, kind of like the couples on the forced therapy group date.

Susie gets the shopping spree date, and becomes “Lady in Red”. A forced therapy group date reveals some truths, particularly with Genevieve and Sarah. Serene also gets a one-on-one date, exploring the city of Vienna, Austria.

This week we are highlighting and saying goodbye to Eliza. We can’t talk enough about how STUNNING she is. This is now an Eliza stan podcast and we feel good about it. Follow her here! We also say goodbye to so many WOC including, Mara, Sarah, and Teddi. We are down to one BIPOC contestant.

Ep. 164: Proceed with Caution (Season 26, Week 8)

We are bringing back the tarot readings for every episode of Clayton’s season of The Bachelor. Megan asked the Final Rose Tarot cards what we can expect from this week of The Bachelor. Megan pulled the 9 of Rings, aka the Influencer card, and maybe this card was supposed to be for last week’s shopping spree date with Susie because we’re just not seeing it for this week.

This week is hometowns! The dads and Gabby’s grandpa John are the real winners tonight. All of the women have such amazing families and strong support systems. We don’t feel like Clayton was worthy of meeting any of them, but nonetheless, we are here to watch it all go down.

We MUST highlight Serene this week, follow her here! Our hearts hurt for her to get the boot and on the last day of BHM at that! Serene was able to open up in ways that she never had before. She is going to be a great partner for someone and she gives us BIP-ready vibes! Also, brother Roland (AKA Oklahoma Obama) can get it, just had to throw that in there, sorry!

Next week Danielle is going to cover a story based on the hometown dates on The Bachelor. The ladies are from the following locations: Gabby (Denver, Colorado), Serene (Oklahoma City, Oklahoma), Rachel (Clermont, Florida), and Susie (Virginia Beach, Virginia). If you have a story you would like us to cover, based on one of these locations, send us a DM on Instagram or Twitter, or an email at [email protected]
