We kick things off with The Bachelor finale, where Grant’s indecisiveness and immaturity stood in stark contrast to Litia’s incredible poise and maturity. Will Grant and Juliana actually make it, or are we already bracing for a breakup announcement?  
 
Then, it’s time for After the Final Rose.  We break down the audience reactions, the eyebrow-raising new Bachelor in Paradise twist, and our concerns about the Goldens on the beach (hot temps and creepy older men are a recipe for disaster). Plus, we’re already in a fight with one Paradise cast member, and we discuss the best post-season glow-up. And of course, we make our picks for who we think should be the next Bachelorette.  
 
Finally, we dive into Temptation Island, where it took the men approximately two seconds to become absolute trash and even less time to avoid accountability. Meanwhile, the women are dodging all physical connections in the villa, and we’re left wondering — is this show really a reflection of modern dating in America? Because if so, we are seriously concerned.

The Bachelor fantasy suite dates are here, and we’ve got thoughts. Grant’s endless platitudes and reluctance to go deeper made for a boring episode, but we can’t stop wondering: did he sleep with anyone in the fantasy suites? Plus, he dropped the L-bomb and instantly regretted it, and poor Zoe got totally screwed with that silent yoga date. We also chat about what will ultimately get in the way of Grant and Litia’s relationship, the glaring lack of real love connections, and whether Grant will actually end up with anyone. And now that we’re almost at the finish line, how do we feel about Grant as The Bachelor this season? Spoiler: it’s time to cast some actual adults on this show.  
 
Next, we check in on Temptation Island — the show that’s trying *really* hard to convince us it’s serious while still being totally ridiculous. Somehow, Mark Wahlberg (no, not that one) shocked us all by offering genuinely solid advice to the contestants. We break down our predictions for which couples will survive and which are destined to crash and burn. Also, we can’t unsee the fact that Tyler is giving us major Tom Sandoval 2.0 vibes.

Wednesday Mar 12, 2025

The Love Is Blind finale and reunion are here! We break down Nick and Vanessa finally stepping up as hosts, the heartbreaking breakdown of Joey and Monica’s relationship, and the absolute chaos of Madison’s armpit receipts. We talk about why Sara should have said no to Ben in the pods, especially after his nonstop flip-flopping on values. Plus, we unpack Daniel’s bizarre tattoo of Taylor, Devin somehow being even more immature than we thought, and the show’s silence on the serious allegations against Alex. And, of course, we can’t ignore the Meg/Mason/Madison mess, our thoughts on AD and Ollie’s engagement, and the excitement of next season happening on Indra’s home turf.
Then, we dive into The Bachelor: Women Tell All—starting with Grant’s bizarre social media post choice that has us questioning everything. We get into Carolina’s audacious display and lack of accountability, the women we liked most this season, and who we think is heading to Paradise (thankfully, the show is coming back!). Plus, Dina leaning into her lawyer role and keeping her family out of hometowns might have been the smartest move all season.
Finally, we wrap up with The Traitors finale, reunion, and the 92nd Y live event—an incredibly satisfying end to the season. We cheer for Danielle’s dramatic exit, swoon over Dylan, and sip on the behind-the-scenes tea Delores spilled about her feud with Danielle. Ivar exposed the actual production schedules, Gabby Windey cemented herself as a reality TV icon, and we get into Dylan’s dreams for what’s next. And don’t worry—we’ve already got a list of upcoming shows we can’t wait to cover!

Wednesday Mar 05, 2025

We kick things off with Love Is Blind—the mind-boggling social media reactions to the season, especially around political issues, and how Midwest passive-aggressiveness is quietly ruining every relationship. We break down Lauren and Dave’s trainwreck dynamic (why is she hanging on when he clearly never wanted to get married?), Sara trying to reconcile her values with Ben’s megachurch, and Devin needing his mom’s approval to sign a prenup. Plus, we’re still confusing people because everyone looks the same, wondering what the couples even talked about in the pods, and side-eyeing the wildly unequal bachelor/bachelorette parties. As for the couples? Joey and Monica seem destined for friendship, while Daniel and Taylor are the only ones we actually believe in.
 
Then, we dive into The Bachelor—why is the hometown episode always so boring, and how did Zoe make it this far without a one-on-one? We get into Mary’s predictions for the fantasy suites and finale, the shock of Juliana’s dad being a softy instead of a mafia boss, and the lingering question of whether Grant and Litia’s religious differences (and the looming fantasy suites) will be a dealbreaker. Despite the messy timeline, we break down why Grant is actually a great Bachelor and how the season’s short runtime is doing him—and the viewers—a disservice.

Wednesday Feb 26, 2025

We kick things off with Love Is Blind! We break down Virginia and Devin’s connection (and those prenup/shoe budget issues), why the communal sock bin might actually destroy Monica and Joey, and how Joey ended up impressing us way more than expected. Plus, apologies to Daniel for thinking he was a creep, our deep hatred for Dave, and why we’re all just waiting for Lauren to break up with him. We also dig into Ben’s shady TikTok scandal and cross our fingers for a post-season couple swap.
 
Next, we dive into The Bachelor—how are we already at hometowns, and why does it feel like we barely know any of the women (and neither does Grant)? We unpack the shock of Dina and Zoe making it this far, Carolina’s ongoing cringe-fest, and Litia’s last-minute reveal about her religion. We’ll miss Alexe so much, but we’re already making predictions about the finale and speculating on the next Bachelorette (especially since ABC straight-up aired a casting call during the episode) and the next season of Bachelor in Paradise.
 
Finally, we wrap up with The Traitors—our ever-growing disdain for Danielle (and the recent dirt about her behavior in the house), the tweaks we’d make to improve the game, and who we’re rooting for to win it all.

Friday Feb 21, 2025

We start with Love Is Blind Season 8—why does the entire cast look the same, and why did we spend so much time in the pods with people who didn’t even make it out together? Plus, we get into the tea about the guys’ bad behavior outside of the pods, our thoughts on the surprisingly big music budget, and our predictions for who will actually make it down the aisle.  
 
Then, we move on to The Bachelor, aka *The Carolina Show*. We break down Juliana’s slight exaggerations, our surprising defense of Carolina (even though we’re currently in the middle of an online fight with her), and why the season feels like it’s moving way too fast. Also, how did Dina and Grant end up having such a strong connection, and if *The Bachelorette* was happening, who would have gotten the lead?  
 
Over on Love Island All Stars, we discuss why we’re disappointed with the winners and spill some behind-the-scenes tea from both the season and its aftermath.  
 
Finally, we wrap up with a quick recap of our current thoughts on this season of The Traitors!

Wednesday Feb 12, 2025

We start with the latest from Grant’s Bachelor season—will he and Litia be able to work past their religious differences, and who do we think will be his final two? We also break down Zoe’s complete lack of a sense of humor, Carolina’s brat behavior, and whether Grant secretly told Rose he was thinking about her during that dance with Carolina. Plus, we finally get some answers about Beverly’s sudden exit from the mansion, and we are so excited that Golden Gary’s back!
Then, we dive into the latest from Love Island All Stars—Curtis continues to be the absolute worst, but which couples actually like each other, and who’s just faking it for the cameras? We also debate whether Samie is a better match for Luca than Grace and if there’s more in Omar’s kisses with Tina than he’s letting on.
Finally, we wrap up with some major reality tv dating show gossip, including the latest rumors about The Bachelorette’s future, tea from Serena and Kordell’s recent press blitz, and why the men of Bachelor Nation are catching heat for their Super Bowl halftime show takes.

Wednesday Feb 05, 2025

We continue our discussion of the Bachelor Nation Matt/Rachael breakup with a breakdown of the Call Her Daddy interview with Rachael. Then, we talk through the second episode of Grant’s Bachelor season, including why we’re a little weirded out by Grant now, cast celebrity dopplegangers, and the women who are standing out this season for both good and bad reasons. Then, we chat about the latest batch of Love Island All Stars episodes, including all the shady men, all the clueless women, who we think will win, and the islanders we’re loving the most. We wrap up with a recap of the latest Traitors episode and why Boston Rob might be the bad guy/enemy of the season, but we all want him to win anyway.

Wednesday Jan 29, 2025

Grant’s season has begun, and we are loving everything about it so far. We talk about how we forgot how hot Grant is, a delightfully drama-free cast of women (at least so far), the women we think will go far, and even an early Bachelorette prediction! We also discuss the latest episodes from Love Island All Stars, including our thoughts on all the latest couplings, frustrating racial dynamics on Love Island UK as a whole, and the Ronnie/Harriet drama we could do without. Finally, we discuss the latest episode of The Traitor and why we can’t wait for Danielle to get caught as a traitor and Carolyn to possibly take it all. We also celebrate 1 year of the pod!

Wednesday Jan 22, 2025

We finish up our first impressions of Bachelor Grant’s women in anticipation of the season premiere of The Bachelor on Monday! We also discuss the start of the new season of Love Island All Stars and our initial thoughts on all the couples – who will go the distance? And why do any of these women find Ronnie attractive?!! Finally, we discuss the latest episode of The Traitors, including whether Boston Rob’s big swing will pay off or not, Gabby as the star (and potentially the smartest person?) of the show, and who we think the producers should choose for their next traitor. We also discuss recent reality dating breakups and new couples, including Matt James and Rachael Kirkconnell’s shocking split, Love is Blind’s Tyler and Ashley’s divorce announcement, and Sandra and CK from the Golden Bachelor/Bachelorette finding love with each other! Bonus discussions about Scrub Daddy swimwear, the Kardashian’s entering their flop era, and why we hate Mark Zuckerberg included.
