Can I Steal You For A Minute?

Things are getting chaotic on Love Island USA, and the producers might be taking it too far with their new Casa Amor antics. Why are people who’ve only been in the villa for 24 hours making major dumping decisions? Megan Thee Stallion gave us everything we wanted in her episode, but otherwise, it’s been rough. Huda remains hard to watch and refuses to take accountability, and we’re still unsure what to make of Olandria and Taylor’s connection. Will Nic and Cierra survive Casa? Are there any real connections left in this villa? We’re also asking where Nic...

We’re here to discuss all of this past week’s drama on Love Island USA — and it sure was dramatic! Nic is growing on us, and his connection with Cierra feels promising, but we’re not convinced it’ll last. Huda and Jeremiah continue to suck the life out of the villa, even after their separation, and Iris might not be the solution. We’re mourning Jalen’s exit, confused by Austin and Amaya’s vibe, and annoyed that Charlie was the one sent home after America’s vote. Paige’s mysterious challenge disappearance finally makes sense, and Olandria’s secret ro...

We’re deep into episodes 2 through 8 of Love Island USA Season 7, and this might be the worst group of guys the show could have cast. Nic kissing two women within an hour has sparked a lot of conversation, but we’re not sure it’s actually that serious. Belle-A has built a solid fan base, and her time on the show might not be over. This season is leaning heavily into purity culture, and the women are often being made to feel small. Ace started strong but is quickly losing favor. Amaya’s bold personality is out of control, and Aust...

We’re back in the villa for Love Island USA Season 7! Ariana has finally found her Love Island voice, and we are here for it. The cast? The verdict’s still out. There are already whispers, and receipts, about known Trumpers among them, and this season seems like it’s trying really hard to recreate the success of Season 6. Chelley and Ace seem destined to be together, but are we the only ones wondering if they hooked up before the show, or just met briefly?

The girls calling each other best friends after literally four hours feels a litt...

We finished Cheat: Unfinished Business on Netflix and loved every bit of it. We’re breaking down where all the couples ended up, what surprised us in the final episodes, and even sharing some more recent updates that have come out since the show aired.

Over on Bravo’s Love Hotel, we have a new favorite couple and some thoughts (again) about casting. Specifically, who we wish Bravo had picked instead of Shannon Beador—because there were definitely better options.

Plus, what’s going on with Jenn and Sasha? In Love Island UK news, we cover the latest wave of relationship breakups and surprise reunions.

We also started Cheat: Unfinished Business on Netflix—a dating show that’s surprisingly refreshing. It’s not trying to traumatize people for once! With real dating advice, useful couples therapy, and a format that actually fe...

In Bachelor Nation news, we’re sharing our thoughts on the possibility of Rachel Recchia and Blake Moynes as a couple. Bachelor in Paradise filming has kicked off, and we’re breaking down the rumored cast members hitting the beach, plus what we’ve heard about their new location in Costa Rica. Also: why Gabby Windey continues to be an icon, and why we’re still not on board with Wells Adams.

Battle Camp remains deeply flawed but undeniably fun to watch. We talk through its chances for another season, our ongoing horror at the intelligence levels on displ...

We’re diving into the latest reality TV chaos, starting with a news update—Tayshia Adams and Luke Gulbranson have officially broken up. Plus, Ariana Madix opens up about her future and how her views on marriage and kids are evolving post-Scandoval.

Then we head to Battle Camp on Netflix, which is giving us plenty to talk about. We share our favorite players, the ones driving us up the wall, and our take on whether the game is actually rigged. We also talk about the world’s most embarrassing spelling bee, our thoughts on the host, a...

We’re back with a roundup of all the latest reality dating TV news, starting with the announcement of our new Golden Bachelor!

Plus, Kelley Flanagan and Peter Weber were spotted together again, and Caila Quinn’s husband is caught up in a cheating scandal that started on Reddit.  

Over in the Love Is Blind universe, we’ve entered full Wife Swap terri...

We’re giving all of our hottest takes on the latest Bachelor Nation buzz, starting with Juliana outing both her and Grant’s political leanings—and who else in the franchise seems to be on the same page. We break down Juliana finally watching the *Bachelor* finale and choosing to come for Litia instead of Grant (??), and share our thoughts on Kaitlyn Bristowe’s recent comments about her breakup with Jason Tartick, plus the rumors swirling about who he’s dating now.  

We also get into Zac Clark’s powerful work in addiction recovery, why we’re rooting s...

We somehow made it through this excessively long season of Temptation Island, and we’re still struggling to decide which of these men is actually the worst. The complete lack of accountability from every single one was a lot, to say the least. We catch up on where the couples are now and discuss if  the show will come back for another season.  

And while we wait for the new seasons of Love Island USA, Love Island UK, and Bachelor in Paradise, we’ve got our eyes on two new reality dating shows that we’re definit...

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 discu...

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 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...

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/bacheloret...

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 Bac...

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’r...

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 S...

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 u...

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...

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...

This week, we walk through the first half of the women on Bachelor Grant’s cast! We talk through their likes, dislikes, and an oddly large number of mentions of the Jonas Brothers and interest in shopping. We also talk through the first few episodes of the current season of The Traitors, including our first impressions of all the players, who we love, who we love to hate, and who we’re watching closely as the game gets good!

We’re starting off the New Year with our final recaps of Love Island AU Season 6 and The Ultimatum Season 3, which both ended at the close of 2024. On Love Island AU, we talk about where all the couples ended up and where they are now (spoiler: almost no one made it even a day outside of the villa), and what contestants are saying about each other and what really went on in the villa now that the season is over. We also discuss the finale and reunion of The Ultimatum Season 3, including our final impressions of all the cast me...

We’re knee deep in this season of The Ultimatum and it’s time to unpack our thoughts! We talk through all the drama this season with the couples, including the shocking exit of two entire couples, Scotty’s overall bad behavior, JR’s simple needs in a relationship and who can give it to him, Sandy’s best option for a partner, Nick’s terrible art, and Caleb and Aria’s beautiful trial marriage. We give our predictions for the end of the season, and what we know about where the cast is now from social media and more!

It’s almost Thanksgiving and this week, we are thankful for the delightful vibes on Love Island AU. We talk about all the current couples, the brewing love triangles (and squares), the unbelievably horrible men, the women who are too good for them, and our predictions for how things will transpire in the coming episodes. We also talk about some other pop culture chatter, including the new HBO documentary Breath of Fire, this week’s DWTS finale, Jenn & Sasha’s potential love connection, and the upcoming season of The Traitors. Happy Thanksgiving to you all!

Though this wasn’t the most riveting week of reality dating tv, we’re here to recap Joan’s hometown dates and the finale of Love is Blind DC. We discuss all of Joan’s hometown dates, including tangents about veneers and keratin hair treatments, because there’s almost nothing else to talk about?  We also discuss the incredibly cringey Love is Blind finale, including the real backstory with Tyler and his kids, what we really think Ramses was doing when he broke up with Marissa, the most unfair Bachelorette party of all time, and our sincere love of Garrett and...

This week, we catch up on the latest episode of the Golden Bachelorette, which has basically cemented Mark’s position as the next Golden Bachelor? While we’re sad to see him leave, we hope he’ll be back for more in future seasons of the show. We also discuss Chock’s undeniable connection with Joan, our surprise at the men who get sent home this week, and those who make it through to hometowns.

Then, we chat Love is Blind DC, and how we think basically every couple needs to break up except for Garrett a...

It’s a sad day on the pod, as we say goodbye to two Bachelor Nation greats this episode: Gary and Charles L. And while we love them and so many men on this cast, we also have to talk about the recent scandal surrounding Guy and the protective order brought against him by his ex-wife. We also offer our thoughts on Jordan, Mark’s close-talking habit, and who we think is poised to win it all.

Then, it’s time to talk about Love is Blind DC, which is finally starting to get interesting. Are Gar...

It’s official: this season of Love Is Blind should be called “The season of the The Ick.” In this episode, we dive deep into episodes 3 through 6 as the couples finally exit the pods and head to the retreats in Mexico. First, we break down what was (and wasn’t) discussed in the pods and the obsession with physical appearance that some couples can’t seem to shake. We reveal some shocking new details about Tyler’s personal life (major red flags), Hannah and Nick’s fraught connection, what really happened between Alex and Tim, and Leo’s epic meltdown and biz...

In this week’s episode, we break down the latest drama from Joan’s Golden Bachelorette season, starting with questioning whether kickball is secretly worse than baseball for elderly men. Then, we dive into Joan’s heartfelt speech to the men and what was really behind it, plus Wayne Newton’s unexpected/shocking cameo. Of course, Charles L remains our all-time favorite, while we’re on edge waiting for Chock’s possible exit. 

We also discuss the first two episodes of Love is Blind S7 in Washington DC. While the cast isn’t grabbing us yet, we’ve still...

We’re full steam ahead with Joan’s season of The Golden Bachelorette, and loving every minute of it. First up, we celebrate Charles L, who continues to prove why he’s an icon of the season. Then we dive into the action: Mark is quietly turning up the heat, while Dan delivers a strong performance that’s hard to ignore. We also ask the question on everyone’s mind — why is Gil still here? And take some time to give a shoutout to the girl dads for melting our hearts once again, and, of course, to Bob for keeping it c...

Just over a week after Jenn’s dramatic Bachelorette finale, lots of drama has ensued in Bachelor Nation and we are here to discuss it all. First we discuss Devin’s disgusting “my side of the story” video, which revealed a ton of unnecessary and intimate details about Jenn and their relationship. We also chat about Maria’s video message addressing her thoughts on the end of the season. We also discuss recent drama between Kaitlyn Bristowe and Tayshia Adams. And, of course, with no current reality dating shows on the air right now, we have to give our initial th...

Whelp! We knew it. Devin is trash, and he proved it to all of America on the season finale of The Bachelorette. We talk about his ludicrous behavior during the season, at the finale, and afterwards on social media, the questionable decisions of the Bachelorette producers, and our hopes and dreams for Jenn's redemption on the upcoming season of Dancing with the Stars. We also discuss Bachelor Nation's wider reactions to the finale and what we’re looking forward to on Joan's upcoming season of The Golden Bachelorette.

We’re getting close to the end of Jenn’s season, and everything is falling apart? In this episode, we discuss Jenn’s final picks and why we feel she’s making a mistake.
