‘Love Is Blind’ S11 E12: Stop The Wedding(s)!
4 november 2026 · 1 uur 30 min
We’ve made it to the altar! Or, rather, we’ve made it to the episode of “Love Is Blind” Boston where just two couples make it to the altar. After a season full of bleak relationships, we get a bleak ending! Who can blame Netflix for swapping this season with Ohio? However, there was still a lot to discuss! Like Blake’s total terror that someone might think for even a second that he’s capable of showing emotion regarding his relationship, Wilson and Wilnie’s obvious contempt for each other, Aneha’s very blunt (and sweet) sister, and some final revelations about John that made us raise our eyebrows all the way to the heavens.

‘The Traitors: New Blood’ E8: Burned By The Fruit
3 november 2026 · 1 uur 12 min
After just three episodes of obstreperous and mostly ineffective campaigning, Victor finally – miraculously – convinces the castle to give his Fruitgate theory a try. With the season dangling by a thread, production grants Shane the power of the pardon to rescue Victor from banishment. Victor sweatily stalks Tomica around the castle, creating a very weird and uncomfortable (and arguably unnecessary) situation before mustering all of his powers of persuasion at the round table. Will Joe be next? What options do the Traitors have left? Lees meer

‘Love Is Blind’ S11 E9-11: Getting Canceled… Ever Heard Of It?
28 oktober 2026 · 2 uur 3 min
Rob’s golden-boy edit was too good to last, and this week it came crashing down – along with his relationship with Michaella. It starts at their meetup with his crew of loutish friends, where Rob is more concerned ensuring his friend is overserved to the point of being pickled than he is with supporting Michaella as she fields nonstop sexual comments from his bros. It escalates at the mixer, where his erratic rage – at Michaella and everyone else – is on full display. With the relationship that once seemed the most compatible now (thankfully) over, we’re left with a group of couples who barely like each other. Plus, we tour John’s crusty home, learn about Aneha’s “modern traditional” approach to relationships, and learn that Blake still hasn’t learned how to count forward in time. Lees meer

‘The Traitors: New Blood’ E7: The Fruit Shall Set You Free
27 oktober 2026 · 56 min
There’s one thing we can say for sweaty fruit boy Victor: he stands on his convictions. Though his quest to take down Tomica and Joe has only alienated the castle further, Victor is determined to bring up his fruit-based murder-in-plain-sight theory with every breath he draws. At times his over-the-top accusatory harassment is uncomfortable, but he does have the defense of having the Traitors dead to rights. Victor’s bad social game dooms him at the round table – but will a surprise pardon power give him another chance to see Tomica or Joe banished? Lees meer

‘Love Is Blind’ S11 E6-8: Unpasteurized Love
21 oktober 2026 · 1 uur 58 min
It’s week two of “Love Is Blind” Boston, and the couples are… mostly floundering. In a real twist, Rob and Michaella are quickly emerging as potentially the only good match of the season. Meanwhile, tension is brewing for the rest of the couples. John is out here drinking unpasteurized milk and doing his own research, Blake can’t stop putting his foot in his mouth, Aneha won’t let Cam’s nonexistent ear piercing go, and Wilnie can’t stop needling Wilson about Malaine. But at least Netflix music supervisors have The Mighty Mighty Bosstones on hand to welcome us to Boston! Lees meer

‘The Traitors: New Blood’ E6: Fruitgate-gate
20 oktober 2026 · 58 min
Episode 6 of “The Traitors” brings us up to speed with a flurry of activity: a murder! A mission! A round table! And many, many ill-fated attempts by Victor to make Fruitgate happen. In this episode, we see what happens when a contestant with all the unearned confidence of a white man tries to bend the castle to his will – and discovers that he has, inexplicably, zero credibility with his fellow castle guests. Victor might be right, and he might be the only person marshaling “real” evidence, but that doesn’t do much if everyone else just wants to vote on vibes. Can anything stop these Traitors now?

‘Love Is Blind’ S11 E4-5: Kennedy Or Romney
16 oktober 2026 · 1 uur 6 min
In episodes 4 and 5, the love chains have been winnowed down to triangles and couples, before heading off to Mexico. The women are busy trying to convince their male suitors to choose them, while the men are mostly trying to decide between the two types of women: Hot ones or deep ones? Dimes or battle-axes? Balkans or non-Balkans? “That” or “It”? Thank god for Jax and Stew, our unintentional comedy darlings. We thank you both for your service. Lees meer

‘Love Is Blind’ S11 E1-3: Boston Runs On Dunkin’
15 oktober 2026 · 1 uur 53 min
The pods have touched down in Boston! And we had so much to say about the first drop of episodes, that we had to split our recap into two parts. In part 1 we get into all of the various love chains that form in the pods and the cast of standout characters that populate them – Morrey, the peacocking toxic masculinity mascot; Stew, the rent-a-Kennedy; Jax, who wears a Moncler puffer in an edgy way; Diana, the old soul who has heard of Frank Sinatra despite being younger than 38; and so many more. (Plus Scott, who seems to have a connection with zero women but who still gets a bit of screentime to do overt misogyny and tell his dates that astrology is satanic.) Lees meer

‘The Traitors: New Blood’ E5: The Cursed Cursed Apple Toss
13 oktober 2026 · 55 min
This week, “The Traitors: New Blood” is back on the air – but we’re down to one new episode. And it’s a relatively uneventful one, with barely a round table or murder to speak of. Instead, most of the episode is spent on the antics of the three Traitors as they try to commit a murder in plain sight. The mechanism: throwing a “cursed” apple to a Faithful on the murder shortlist, and having them successfully catch it. It’s a wildly conspicuous act, especially in a game fueled by paranoia and mob justice, and all three of the Traitors manage to incriminate themselves by the end of the night – especially Joe. Can he wriggle his way out of this jam? Lees meer

News & Gossip: ‘SLOMW’ Crumbles, Taylor v. Clarke, ‘The Vow’ Trailer & ‘Love Is Blind’ 11 Cast Bios
6 oktober 2026 · 1 uur 39 min
Buckle up, we’re catching up on news & gossip! With Mikayla and TFP out the door, ‘SLOMW’ is down to a skeleton cast. Was there ever any other outcome? And what’s next for the franchise? Then, the breakup between Taylor and Clarke of “Love Island” S7 has gone from amicable to messy, after she claimed on a podcast that Taylor stranded her at a gas station in Oklahoma and he countered with equally troubling, but vague, allegations posted on Instagram. Then, Chris Harrison’s upcoming MAGA-coded dating show on Fox Nation, “The Vow,” dropped a teaser that takes some obvious potshots at “The Bachelor” – so, of course, Warner Bros fired back with a cease and desist. Was this part of a longshot attempt by “The Vow” to get some actual buzz going? Finally, the “Love Is Blind” Boston bios are out, and we trawled through all the Italian-food-loving New Englanders, searching for standouts. Lees meer

‘The Traitors: New Blood’ E3-4: Teeny Traitor Breadcrumbs
29 september 2026 · 1 uur 29 min
With bodies and banishments piling up, the game is really underway now – and while Joe Vanella is playing his own secret angle, casting doubt on the athletes of the castle, the three Traitors are leaving a breadcrumb trail straight to their teeniest member. The Faithfuls are casting about wildly for clues, and Jay has decided to just cast about wildly in every sense. He drops knowing hints about his secret theories, which will be revealed at the round table – and, once at the round table, he announces that he is a body language expert but unfortunately has been taking a mental health break from observing body language. While he is chaos personified, Victor is flop-sweat personified, though he has finally decided to lean back into his strength: flirting with pretty girls. Can Katie survive another round table? Or will Jay’s chaos be so unbearable that his fellow Faithful just kick him out? We have to wait two weeks to find out! Lees meer

‘The Traitors: New Blood’ E1-2: Hogwarts For Sweaty Boys
22 september 2026 · 1 uur 23 min
A cast of non-celebrity American players feature on this season of “The Traitors: New Blood” – an unusually “Harry Potter”-inflected season, especially considering how radioactive J.K. Rowling’s brand has become. (Why, exactly, are the Weasley twins here?) The cast is packed with standout personalities – a funeral director, a dog trainer, a mulleted executive, a 23-year-old, a baseball scout, a lawyer posing as a basketball coach – though some of these newly minted reality stars have done more strategic preparation than others. The first two episodes feature some classic “Traitors” blunders, including one that cruelly ended a blossoming showmance. Is “The Traitors” a dating show? Sadly, not at the moment. Lees meer

‘Secret Lives of Mormon Wives’ S5 E4-5: What Are We Doing Here?
17 september 2026 · 1 uur 51 min
Season 5 of “SLOMW” ends abruptly, after an on-camera revelation that Dakota’s friend has called CPS to report Taylor. But it’s not entirely out of the blue. The last two episodes contain ample signs that Taylor and Dakota’s toxic pattern is escalating dangerously. Meanwhile, Jen is trying to get her “pink back” by becoming a musician and returning to the Mormon fold, Jessi and Jordan throw a housewarming brunch that becomes a de facto divorce brunch, and Mayci and Mikayla have reached their wits’ end with the Taylor-Dakota situation. Annemarie Navar-Gill joins again to finish our discussion of this truncated season – and the path ahead for Taylor and the show, which has chosen to keep her on the cast. Lees meer

‘Secret Lives of Mormon Wives’ S5 E1-3: ‘Bachelorette’ Brand Disaster
15 september 2026 · 1 uur 47 min
Back in March, when Taylor Frankie Paul’s season of “The Bachelorette” was yanked just days before premiering, cameras were rolling for season five of her original reality show: “Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.” Production was ultimately paused, but season five wasn’t canceled – and all five episodes of the abbreviated season dropped last week. Annemarie Navar-Gill (the cohost of Bachelor in Retrospect) joined for a discussion of episodes 1-3, including a conversation about why this season aired to begin with, whether that was the right decision, and what it means for “The Bachelor” franchise that this season includes so many spoilers – and so much post-show drama that punctures the franchise’s fantasy brand.

‘Love Is Blind’ UK S3 E7-11: Find My Fiancé
10 september 2026 · 2 uur 11 min
By the second half of “Love Is Blind” UK, all is not well! Our crop of six robust couples has begun to dwindle, thanks to motivational speaker Ryan’s energetic hangovers and Jordan’s failure to find the spark. Ciara pushes Ajay’s boundaries just a bit too far, in the midst of her self-admitted quest to find the outer limits of his patience. And Jack pushes the limits of his ability to trek across London in shower sliders. Will any of these couples say “I do”? And, more importantly, what will they have to say about each other by the reunion? We finally have the answers by the end of this recap, and for once, those answers were pretty satisfying. Except for how Jack’s Find My Friends got turned off – that’s a question to which we may never get a straight answer. Lees meer

‘Love Is Blind’ UK S3 E1-6: Love You, Bye!
8 september 2026 · 2 uur 6 min
The pods are open, to be fair! Claire and Leigh are finally catching up on “Love Is Blind” UK season 3, and it is a rollicking good time. We have a resident jovial love-bombing lad and a resident soft-life pink-pill girlie, plus an English MAHA type who only eats eggs produced by chickens who listen to “frequency music.” Despite this, and some classic love triangles, it feels like love really is brewing in the pods. In this episode, we talk about great sexpectations, great financial expectations, pot-stirrers, plaid Speedos, jacket potatoes with tuna, and ecstatic dancing. Lees meer

The ‘Love Island’ S8 & ‘Let’s Marry Harry’ Reunions: Please, We’re Exhausted
3 september 2026 · 2 uur 2 min
The “Love Island” USA and “Let’s Marry Harry” reunions finally dropped this week, after we’d finally allowed our brains to move on. The two-hour “Love Island” reunion was shapeless, often boring, and felt as though it would never end. The cast re-litigated endless minor beefs, and rarely introduced new information or found any resolution – though we did finally establish how many times Sol was pied (two, as shown on TV) and how many times Bryce pulled Kayda (one, as shown on TV). Melanie had issues with half the cast, while Sincere just popped up every twenty minutes or so to issue a blanket apology. The women’s behavior is hyper-scrutinized, while the men skate by. Overall, the cast seems sad, tired, and defensive after a summer of being analyzed to death. Please, let’s put this season to bed! Then, we dip into the “Let’s Marry Harry,” where the women are aggrieved and Harry is up to his old tricks: reciting softboy emotional platitudes in order to distract from his proven track record of douchey behavior.

‘MAFS’ S20 Finale & Reunion: A Vibe And A Half
1 september 2026 · 2 uur 6 min
Season 20 of “Married at First Sight” is safely in the can, and, as we hoped, six of the seven couples are safely separated from each other! In this recap, Claire and Leigh talk about Decision Day, from the reveal of Felipe’s vile off-camera comments to Tori to the oddly timed gifting of a Ninja Creami, before diving into the action-packed reunion. Relationship experts Paul and Dr. Lisa have taken off their therapist hats and donned their tea-spilling host ensembles, and they’re ready to take stock of the emotional wounds inflicted on the show’s cast by their mostly short-lived marriages. Mecca and Bellé discuss their post-show split, while Michelle and Cam share mostly happy updates from the first year of married life. Marissa is finally ready to share her truth: She despises Adam and his cooking. Tori wants to know why she was ever even placed in Felipe’s vicinity. Adam makes fun of Courteney’s pickleball skills until she cries, all while wearing his most attention-seeking ensemble yet. Caitlin and Devin somehow slide under the radar, but Nikki and Shawn? They have no shortage of grievances to air. Lees meer

‘MAFS’ S20 E16-18: Couples Retreat From Hell
25 augustus 2026 · 2 uur 6 min
This batch of “Married at First Sight” episodes leaves us at the brink of decision day – and teasing a scandalous off-camera conversation between Felipe and Tori. But first, the remaining six couples head off on a couples retreat that is more fratty than therapeutic. Felipe leans into his womanizing reputation, and expects Tori to be as tolerant of his foibles as his mother is. Mecca and Caitlin get flirty, and somehow Bellé is the last person anyone is concerned about. Nikki is ruminating on why Shawn told her she was a Seattle 10, but a New York 7. Adam is more focused on stirring the pot than finding compromises with Marissa. Michelle and Cam seem fine, but everyone else is fed up with their meddling and judgment. Even us! Should any of these couples actually stay married – and will they? Lees meer

‘MAFS’ S20 E13-15: All In… For Now
18 augustus 2026 · 2 uur 6 min
As “Married at First Sight” season 20 draws closer to decision day, the pressure on the seven couples is growing – and one has, blessedly, buckled underneath it. After Nick and Courteney wisely remove themselves from the experiment, we’re left with six couples who, in Adam’s parlance, are trying to just vibe and full send it, but are mostly cooked. Adam has imperceptibly tweaked his intensity level downward, while Marissa looks more dead behind the eyes in every scene. Mecca decides that a group dinner is the perfect time to announce that his first impression of Belléjolie was, “she’s not pretty enough for me.” Caitlin is trying to lean into her feminine by introducing Devin to Taylor Swift. Nikki and Shawn put intimacy on the agenda… and hit their KPIs. Felipe realizes that commitment just means thinking Tori is hot in this moment. And though Cam has begun to waver at the idea of a relationship lasting longer than six months, he and Michelle are feeling sufficiently superior to the other couples to put themselves in charge of who should say “yes” on decision day.

‘Let’s Marry Harry’ Puts Sprinkles On Toxic Masculinity
13 augustus 2026 · 2 uur
Harry Jowsey has had a long and winding road through the world of reality dating TV, most notably “Too Hot to Handle” and “Perfect Match.” He rode his success from these Netflix hits to a podcast deal with Alex Cooper’s Unwell network – and now, his own reality dating show, “Let’s Marry Harry.” In this bonus, Leigh and Claire discuss a show that promises to marry the inveterate womanizer off for good. From its gimmicky concept (all 20 contestants are immediately given engagement rings and referred to as his “fiancées”) to its ill-fated attempt at a redemption arc for Harry, this show is wildly entertaining, frequently alarming, and offers much food for thought about the current state of the reality dating space and masculinity discourse.

‘MAFS’ S20 E10-12: Strong Hobbies And Weak Connections
11 augustus 2026 · 2 uur 13 min
Welcome back to another week of a show we’d like to call “Six Future Divorces And A Marriage,” starring Cam and Michelle as the one couple we would be shocked to see announcing the end of their marriage during the next drop of episodes. Nikki has been continuing to foster her tiny spark with Shawn, while he keeps trying to douse it by suggesting that she should “show up as a wife” by giving him a handy. Marissa has finally realized that she accidentally moved to vacation by marrying Adam, and unless she acts fast, she will be getting dragged to the pickleball courts on a jetski every day until she’s 90. Devin is putting in the game of a lifetime as “best husband ever” to Caitlin, only to reveal his raging resentment whenever he’s speaking to the audience. Courteney is now kissing Nick, but continues to despise him. Bellé and Mecca are already getting into some basketball-themed roleplay to keep things fun. Everyone is making their partner guess what a strawberry tastes like. And Cam and Michelle? They’re just vibing. Lees meer

‘MAFS’ S20 E7-9: Live, Vibe, Jetski
4 augustus 2026 · 2 uur 12 min
Three weeks into “Married At First Sight,” the couples really start to settle into their marriages. Some of them take the plunge into sexual intimacy, while others are still tinkering with basic communication. Nikki and Shawn practice using “I” statements and relinquishing power. Caitlin finally dims Devin’s light to an acceptable soft glow, while he lovingly compares her to a frozen lake. Courteney’s hatred for Nick deepens by the hours, as is his determination to pretend it’s fine. Marissa has effortlessly melted her life into Adam’s jetskiing, peacocking, thrift-shopping vibe, and they have no plans other than to just keep vibing it out, full send. After some couples counseling and a group dinner, spied on by Paul and Dr. Lisa, the experts arrive to the first group therapy session ready to call everyone out – especially Adam and Mecca. But given some of these bizarre pairings, they may need to be called out just as much as any of the newlyweds. Lees meer

'Married At First Sight' S20 E4-6: Attraction At 60%
28 juli 2026 · 2 uur 10 min
The second week of “Married at First Sight” S20 is exposing more profound incompatibilities between these couples. An atheist married to a devout Christian? Two “bright suns” forced to orbit each other? A black cat wife eternally chased by a sad golden retriever husband? It’s enough to make you question why the experts paired these seven couples up to begin with! Episodes 4-6 take these newlyweds through a tumultuous honeymoon trip in Mexico, and drops them back in Seattle to kick off their new lives together. Several of the wives struggle to get comfortable spending every second with their new husbands – and to deal with the pressure to get physical after just a few days of knowing them. At least Adam and Marissa are off to a promising start, as long as she’s down to spend the day ripping it on his jetski. Lees meer

‘Married At First Sight’ S20 E1-3: Seven Weddings And A Jetski
21 juli 2026 · 1 uur 59 min
For the first time ever, we’re covering “Married at First Sight”! The franchise’s 20th season, set in Seattle, kicked off last week with three episodes. The first batch of episodes introduced us to seven couples – including one semi-professional reality star (hey there, Nick from “The Circle”), a man who only travels via jet ski, and a woman who claims not to remember January 6th – as well as a handful of problematic dads. It’s an overabundance of couples, and most of them seem doomed from jump. Leigh and Claire discuss the threads of conservatism in this cast, how many of the men are bursting with ego or can’t stop pushing their new wives’ sexual boundaries, and how hopeful we are that each couple will find a love story together. (Spoiler: Not very!) Lees meer

A Former ‘Bachelor’ Producer’s Controversial Memoir & Post-‘Love Island’ Drama
16 juli 2026 · 1 uur 20 min
After an epic season of “Love Island,” we have a lot of catching up to do! This episode, we get into some Bachelor Nation news, as well as the post-villa drama and gossip that has already begun to percolate from our new “Love Island” alums. Then, it’s time for book club! We read the new memoir from former “Bachelor” producer Julie LaPlaca, “The Love Producer” – and took in some of the discourse about it. So we dig into her revelations about the inappropriate relationship she claims to have developed with Peter Weber while producing his season, her romanticization of the entanglement, and her preoccupation with becoming the Bachelorette herself.

‘Love Island’ S8 E32-35: To Brinfinity And Beyond
14 juli 2026 · 1 uur 58 min
It’s “Love Island” graduation week! Emma pops back in from maternity leave this episode to offer her hot takes on this final batch of episodes. The families come through to offer their blessings or curses on the couples (for Melanie and Sincere, it’s a quadruple hex that still isn’t strong enough to destroy their connection). The couples partake in one final grotesque challenge, romantically transferring mushroom soup and mayonnaise from mouth to mouth and then making out on a slip’n’slide. They are sent on EPIC final dates to remember, like making pizza together on a floating bungalow, reading a love story written about them in a fairytale bower, or eating hard sandwiches tied in twine next to a swamp. Zach shows his devotion to Kayda by promising to follow her wherever she goes, presumably so he has a place to stay, and Bryce and Trinity level up their relationship even further. It all builds to a finale that warmed our romantic hearts. Lees meer

‘Love Island’ S8 E26-31: Situationship Spin-Out
9 juli 2026 · 2 uur 24 min
Movie Night, the cataclysmic climax of “Love Island,” has come to an end, and the islanders have spent the week sweeping up and sorting through the emotional wreckage. Apologies are made and accepted, old grievances aired out. Dylan finally lets go of his resentment that Kenzie didn’t commit to the boys she met before him, and Melanie, under pressure from her castmates, lets go of her no-kisses-for-Sincere boundary. The couples find out how America ranks them – which leaves Zach and Kayda unmoored, but KC and Titi bolstered. There’s a flurry of commitment conversations, and even a remarkably poorly executed scavenger hunt. We all have a rousing debate about the difference between a “situationship” and “dating exclusively,” and end up even more confused. The finale looms! Who will emerge victorious? Lees meer

‘Love Island’ S8 E20-25: Movie Night Mayhem
2 juli 2026 · 2 uur 20 min
Grab your popcorn, our favorite film is on: “Love Island” production exposing the manipulations of red-pilled creeps! Our temporary co-host Leigh Blickley joins for her first episode of Emma’s maternity leave, and we look back on the entire bleak week of male misbehavior, callousness, and gaslighting. We consider the lack of true boy-girl friendships this season, the boys-will-be-boys mindsets of the islanders, Zach and Sincere’s manipulative mind games and KC’s pivot to manosphere rhetoric and macho swagger. At least we have Brinity and Carniya – and, even better, the new villa sisterhood. Lees meer

‘Love Island’ S8 E14-19: Too Many Lap Dances w/ Game of Roses
25 juni 2026 · 2 uur 38 min
It’s time for Casa Amor, babyyyyy!! Claire is joined by Lizzy and Chad, cohosts of Game of Roses, for some deep analysis of this week’s episodes. The first half of the season has dragged a bit – stagnant, uninspiring couples; underwhelming bombshell arrivals; no dates to speak of – and just as the energy was about to fully dissipate, the boys get the fateful text to head to Casa Amor. This time, there are a few big twists to up the emotional ante… and get the girls to stop weeping about their couples and explore. The minute KC enters Casa, he throws caution to the winds and shows us exactly why Aniya couldn’t quite trust his intentions; Corbin has found a good reason to shed Kenzie (lustfulness is one of the seven deadly sins, after all); and Bryce realizes that Trinity is worth yearning over. The girls get double the guys for their trouble, but it may not be enough to tempt them from their mediocre couples. Is Brinity our best hope for a happy ending? Lees meer

‘Love Island’ S8 E8-13: From CorbinGPT To ChatGPT
18 juni 2026 · 2 uur 21 min
This week on “Love Island,” the love triangles started percolating – and those who aren’t in love triangles clearly got a firm nudge to start making some more villa geometry happen. Bryce randomly decided to pull his best friend’s girl, which gave everyone a hearty laugh. Zach keeps feebly insisting that he wants to stay open for a hypothetical bombshell he likes better than Kayda, while Kayda is ready to fluid bond. Aniya and KC enter a death spiral of miscommunication. Melanie actually does everything everyone has asked her to do – give Sincere space, explore other connections honestly and respectfully, regulate her emotions – and Kenzie still feels personally victimized by her existence. After all, Melanie’s existence is making it marginally harder for her to monopolize the attention of both men she likes! Plus, we learn the perils of outsourcing a generation of brains to ChatGPT. No one can write and no one can make scrambled eggs!!!! Lees meer

We’re officially into week 2 of “Love Island USA,” which means that we have six full episodes to discuss! We get to know six bombshells, learn about the nuances of Gen Z “loverboy” culture, define “attributes,” and explore one of the greatest romance tropes of all time: Only One Bed. In this week’s recap we get into everything from the toxic dynamic that has bubbled up between Sincere and Melanie, to why Zach says he’s closed off and then immediately backtracks, to the slow burn appeal of Trinity and Bryce. And we close with America’s first opportunity to vote on the fates of our fair Islanders. Lees meer

Season 8 of “Love Island USA” is here at last. And as Ariana Madix put it: “We’re so back.” She’s right. Summer is back, we’re back, and the beauty of watching sex idiots find love in a villa in Fiji is also back. Life is good. We’re watching hotties in bikinis swap spit, explain astrology (badly), and cut up apples (even more badly). And before episode 1 has even ended… the bombshells have entered the villa. Lees meer

Before we dive headfirst into the new season of Love Island USA, we knew we needed to catch up on some reality news and gossip.

Netflix has “Perfect Match” on a shorter and shorter leash, from 12 episodes in season 1 all the way down to just 8 this season – and boy, can you tell. In this rushed finale, we squeeze in one last challenge and boardroom, the shakiest couples patch it back up enough to limp to the final vote, and some mild tea about sneaky Spotify chats is spilled. The wildest part of the season doesn’t even happen until filming has already wrapped – and you know Nice Guy™ Chris and his Santa’s workshop of designer handbags has something to do with it.

Episodes 6 and 7 of “Perfect Match” dropped this week, leaving us with just the finale for next week – just as the show is finally starting to pick up steam. Putting the abysmal pacing aside, the drama is heating up as Demari and Marissa’s diametrically opposed communication styles threaten to tear apart their increasingly miserable relationship, one Jimmy does a better job locking it down than the other, and the singles make increasingly audacious plays for a spot in the house. A bait-and-switch kissing challenge brings it all together. Lees meer

‘Perfect Match’ S4e1-5: An Abundance of Jimmys
14 mei 2026 · 2 uur 15 min
Netflix’s reality dating super-show is back for a fourth season, after a near-perfect third season featuring AD and Ollie’s transatlantic LIB love story. The concept, for those who aren’t familiar: sexy singles, mostly from Netflix reality shows, but also from “MAFS Australia,” “Vanderpump Rules,” and just… social media influencing, converge on a luxurious villa. This season features some reality dating icons – Marissa and Jimmy from “Love Is Blind,” Yamen and Natalie from “Temptation Island” – but is it hitting like previous “Perfect Match” season? That’s up for debate. Lees meer

Why We (Still) Watch ‘The Bachelor’ w/ Ilana Masad & Stevie K. Seibert Desjarlais
7 mei 2026 · 1 uur 12 min
In this bonus episode, we go deep with Ilana Masad and Stevie K. Seibert Desjarlais on their new anthology: “Here For All The Reasons: Why We Watch The Bachelor.” It’s a book of essays about our first – and truest – love, “The Bachelor” franchise, and (surprise!) we even wrote an essay in it. We had such a fun time chatting with Ilana and Stevie about how this book came to be, where their relationship with the franchise began, why we continue to stick with “The Bachelor” when there are a million reasons we shouldn’t, and what they want to see from the future of the franchise.

TFP & Dakota Back In Court, ‘Summer House’ Leaks & ‘Farmer Wants A Wife’ E2
5 mei 2026 · 1 uur 34 min
Taylor Frankie Paul and Dakota Mortensen received mutual 3-year protective orders, and some interesting comments from the judge, in court last week. We discuss the updates in the ongoing legal battle, including an old voice memo from Jessi Draper being leaked to TMZ and some recent comments from execs behind “The Bachelorette” and “SLOMW” about the futures of the franchises. Whitney Leavitt is leaving “SLOMW,” and while she may be ready, we’re not! More “Summer House” reunion leaks dropped last week, and Amanda continues to come off as combative and willfully obtuse. Lauren Luyendyk took sides in the Alex Cooper/Alix Earle feud. And finally, we recap the second episode of “Farmer Wants A Wife,” in which Farmer Braden questions whether the women will enjoy farmwork, Farmer Brett gets goofy, and Farmer Sean talks about the trials of being a 22-year-old wealthy landowner seeking a faith-based non-golddigger.

The Great Bachelor Nation x Bravo Convergence w/Gibson Johns
30 april 2026 · 1 uur 18 min
Three makes a trend, and suddenly there are not just three, but FOUR former “Bachelor” USA franchise cast members appearing on Bravo casts. With Jasmine Goode on “The Valley,” Salley Carson on “Southern Charm,” Ashley Iaconetti on “Real Housewive of Rhode Island,” and Whitney Fransway on “In the City,” the great Bachelor x Bravo convergence is undeniably happening. Guest Gibson Johns (host of “Gabbing with Gib”) joins us to talk about this once-unimaginable overlap between the two massive reality powerhouses, what the Bravo path has to offer reality stars, what a “Bachelor” star has to offer a Bravo show, and what this is means for the future of reality TV.

‘Temptation Island’ S2 E1-4, More TFP & Dakota Mortensen News
14 april 2026 · 1 uur 49 min
“The Bachelorette” may have been put on ice, but related news and gossip is still flowing. We briefly discuss one of Taylor Frankie Paul’s men shooting his shot with another “Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” star, as well as updates on the allegations and legal proceedings between Taylor and her ex, Dakota Mortensen. Then, we dive into the first four episodes of “Temptation Island.” We meet four new couples who, as usual, should have broken up long before they ever choppered to set. Their issues (again, as usual) stem mostly from the male partners being unfaithful or dishonest, and the women struggling to move past their resentment. (In the world of “Temptation Island,” a woman vocalizing how a man has let her down is an offense on par with his original betrayals.) Will any of these couples make it out? Hopefully not! But either way, we’ll be back next Wednesday with the answer. Lees meer
