Get no-holds-barred, non-judgmental & honest advice from two people who actually have what you want: a fun, blissful partnership.As an iconic former Bachelor contestant, Sharleen brings her insider knowledge (combined with Andy's hilarious commentary) to deliver what are hands-down the best Reality TV recaps in the business. They interview reality TV (or reality-adjacent) couples in double-date style episodes called Love Fests. New episodes drop every Thursday, and during TV seasons, twice a week.

Confessions With 'Perfect Match''s Dave Hand - Ep 468
Today Shandy is delighted to welcome the (co-)WINNER of Netflix's Perfect Match Season 4, the one and only Dave Hand! We watched Dave leave the show hand-in-hand with Sophie... so what *really* happened? Today Dave explains the truth behind the breakup, who from the cast is the most misunderstood, and how his life has changed in the aftermath of TWO reality shows. Most importantly, Shandy learns the thought process that goes into getting a neck tattoo! We enjoyed this conversation and think you will, too! #netflix #perfectmatchThanks to our sponsors!- Go to https://cozyearth.com and use code SHANDY for 20% off!- Go to https://www.squarespace.com and use code SHANDY for 10% off your first website or domain!More Dave:- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dth_9- TikTok: http://tiktok.com/@davethomas9Time Stamps:0:00 - Welcome To Dave Hand!3:20 - What Happened With Sophie9:08 - Who From Perfect Match Is Most Misunderstood?15:36 - Did He Feel A Cultural Difference On The Show?21:09 - Life After TV24:46 - What Is The Thought Process That Goes Into Getting A Neck Tattoo?29:37 - Ranking Cast Members30:04 - Is His Favorite Movie Really ‘The Notebook’?31:16 - Rapid Fire38:00 - Shandy DebriefIf you have a relationship question, write us at: [email protected] and watch the episodes on YouTube! https://bit.ly/SubscribeDearShandyFollow us!Dear Shandy - https://www.instagram.com/dearshandySharleen Joynt - https://www.instagram.com/sharleenjoyntAndy Levine - https://www.instagram.com/machinelevine See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
