Altar Call: A Married At First Sight, Love is Blind and Other Reality TV Podcast

The Plaths are back for a new season and the toxicity continues. We recap the gang back together in one place to face the reckoning by Lydia and Zac. We find out where they are now and wonder why Moriah disappeared from the episode.
