Get in, losers, we?re going to the cottage! Like most women you know, we haven?t been able to stop thinking, dreaming, talking, and texting about the gay hockey romance juggernaut ?Heated Rivalry.? And we couldn?t help but wonder: what does the massive success of this show tell us about what women want in relationships, or what healthy masculinity looks like to us? What does it say about the ways women feel about themselves and their own sexuality? And what lessons should reality dating shows take from this cultural moment? We get into all of these questions and (full disclosure) swoon? a lot.

This season of ?The Traitors? continues to be action-packed and full of loudmouths getting in their own way! A new Bachelor Nation Traitor hunter has emerged to take command of the Faithful troops, but not everyone is convinced he?s fit to lead. An unexpected laugh piques one player?s suspicion. The unhinged challenges continue, this time with more effigies and spears, and the ravenous players are all jockeying for the most important thing of all: the smoked salmon at breakfast. At the roundtable, things take a dark turn? and Rob gives Michael a much-needed vocabulary lesson.

The latest season of ?The Traitors US? kicked off with three banger episodes, packed with scheming and twists. There?s a new Traitor in the castle ? a mystery Traitor, whose identity is unknown to even the other Traitors and the audience ? and a fascinating group of contestants are chosen as this season?s Traitors. But there is some genuine darkness in the castle: Michael Rapaport?s continued, offputting presence. How many tantrums can one loud-mouthed actor/comedian throw in one season of a social strategy game before getting ousted, one way or another? We?re dying to find out.

It?s officially a new year, which means that we?re hitting the ground running with new reality TV to cover.

In today?s re-release, we?re revisiting the friends-to-lovers film that kicked off the rom-com renaissance of the 90?s: When Harry Met Sally. We wanted to release this episode again with a new segment up top, reflecting on the unbelievable legacy of the late Rob Reiner, and his wife, photographer Michele Singer Reiner.

We got the chance to sit down with Cindy Cullers, the runner-up of season 2 of ?The Golden Bachelor?! Besides being absolutely luminous, Cindy thoughtfully reflected on her ?Bachelor? journey. We discussed what initially drew her to Mel, her thoughts on that infamous podcast, how he handled conversations with her daughters, the truth about the lemon bars, what made her finally walk away, and how she feels about Mel?s? rather harsh post-show interviews. Plus ? would Cindy ever consider being the Golden Bachelorette?

It?s been 30 years since Emma Thompson, Ang Lee, and producer Lindsay Doran came together to make one of the greatest Jane Austen adaptations of all time. BFF of the pod Erin Darke joins us to get into the incredible way this film came together, a deeply satisfying behind-the-scenes love story, and all of the details that make this movie practically perfect.

Friend of the pod Arden Myrin joined us for our first rom-com rewatch of the holiday season! We dove into 1994 classic ?Four Weddings and a Funeral,? starring Hugh Grant and his slutty little glasses alongside Andie MacDowell, Kristin Scott Thomas, John Hannah and Simon Callow. Somehow the movie manages to work, despite the fact that the central love story is thinly-rendered and unremarkable, and despite the fact that Grant?s Charles is kind of the biggest villain in the film???

Since we have to wait a few months before we watch Taylor Frankie Paul?s season of ?The Bachelorette,? we decided to take matters into our own hands and google the 26 potential men who will compete for her heart! What we found are a bunch of scruffy-faced, cowboy-adjacent men of faith. But a few of them had some shockingly fascinating backstories ? including one who has deep ties to former Republican Congressman Madison Cawthorn.

Now that season 2 of ?Golden Bachelor? is safely in the books, Mel and his final choice Peg have been making the rounds. We get into their magazine interviews and Bachelor Happy Hour episodes, all of which are drenched in his trademark defensiveness and disdain for quitters. Plus, we discuss some Bachelor Nation news and gossip, including leaked tidbits and photos about Taylor Frankie Paul?s season of ?The Bachelorette,? which is currently filming, and the confirmation of Ashley I.?s role on ?The Real Housewives of Rhode Island.?

The two-hour ?Golden Bachelor? finale actually did bring Mel?s soporific journey to a relatively dramatic conclusion. In large part, this was thanks to Cindy, whose refusal to stay on the field like a good little football player and continue to compete for Mel?s (begrudgingly offered) companionship finally unleashed some real emotion in Mel. And that emotion? Anger and disdain. But this leaves Peg, whose more laidback approach to commitment and peppy personality proved to be a better fit for him Maybe there?s hope for a happy ending for this analytically minded guy after all!

It?s the penultimate episode of Mel?s Golden Bachelor journey, and the final two women are finally ready to ask him the hard questions. Like? ?Are you even into me?? and ?Are you really afraid of stingrays?? and ?What?s wrong with you?? Mel, for his part, is gearing up to finally express his deepest emotions. He?s ready to finally reveal to Peg and Cindy that he thinks they are pretty great. And also pretty good. The only question is? will that be enough for them?

OG Golden Bachelor Gerry Turner?s new memoir is here! ?Golden Years: What I?ve Learned from Love, Loss, and Reality TV,? dives into Gerry?s early life and career, as well as his marriage to his beloved Toni. But the lion?s share of the memoir is focused on ?The Golden Bachelor?: his casting, the experience of filming, the women he met along the journey, the cursed Golden Wedding, and, of course, all of the ways in which his relationship with Theresa Nist was seemingly doomed from the jump. We go into the memoir?s juiciest claims and explore why Gerry still seems to feel so much bitterness towards his now ex-wife.

Season 9 of ?Love Is Blind? has finally come to a close, complete with an outdoor concert and some warmed-over revelations about post-filming shenanigans. This reunion featured a not-so-surprising surprise baby, new partner reveals, and a lot of half-hearted rehashing of heartbreaks the cast has long moved on from. We discuss it all, and offer our final Friends and Enemies rankings.

It?s Women Tell All time! Or at least? women tell? some? OG Golden Gal Leslie Fhima joined us to break down the incredibly tepid drama between the ?Golden? season 2 crew. We saw Nicolle get called out in a very direct and measured way, some real audience love for Cheryl and Debbie, an extended Jared Freid cameo, Mel wearing greige, and yet no real accountability or explanation for The Lemon Bars Incident. Unacceptable. To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices. Visit https://podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Mel has three ?great? women left, and it?s time to jet off to their hometowns: Las Vegas with Peg, Denver with Debbie, and Austin with Cindy. This tour of the metropolises of the American West may be exciting, but Mel remains stolidly underwhelmed. He meets the women?s families, and offers their daughters and siblings lukewarm reassurances about how he ?likes? their loved one, specifically her ?personality? or ?energy.? But, he insists, he?s not ready to say he?s falling for any of them. Are we running out of time for Mel to level up? And how badly does he wish he?d never come to this cursed show?

Season 9 of ?Love Is Blind? has been full of twists and turns ? and those continue right up to the final minutes of the season finale. This stone cold bunch of Denver weirdos loved? and ultimately lost. This episode, we catch a glimpse of the bachelor and bachelorette parties, finally see Ali and Anton?s engraved sweatshirts, and learn the fates of our remaining three couples.

Candiace Dillard Bassett (Bravo?s Real Housewives of Potomac) and Michael Arceneaux (New York Times best-selling author and culture critic) have thoughts?and on Undomesticated, they?re sharing all of them. Think of it like the group chat you wish you were in - brutally honest, funny, smart, and gloriously unfiltered.  From viral TikTok drama to the celebrity news everyone?s talking about (and the ones they should be), Candiace and Michael are here to talk their talk, crack you up, and keep it 100?with just the right amount of petty.

We were SO excited to chat with these two ?Love Is Blind? season 9 ladies that we knew we had to drop an extra episode this week. And it?s a juicy one! In the wake of a truly brutal episode 10 and 11, we were dying to ask Madison all about her experience with Joe, her reflections on their dynamic, and her takeaways from her time in the pods. Kait also popped in to talk to us about what drew her to Nick in the pods, whether she still feels like he was love-bombing her and where their values seemed to diverge.

This week, Nicolle?s reign as groundbreaking Golden villain came to its pitch-perfect end. Mel faced the daunting task of narrowing his final 6 women down to a final 3 for Hometowns, so he set out to ask the deep questions, like ?Where do you see yourself in five years?? and ?Where is your hometown?? And even though Nicolle brought him lemon bars, he has a few hesitations about their future together. Plus, we learned about his history with spirituality (extensive) and with horseback riding (limited).

The best part of this entire season has finally been located: a masterful Sabrina Carpenter needle drop at the end of episode 10. If there was ever a theme song for this season, it would be ?Manchild.? (Which isn?t to say that the women in Denver are incapable of acting badly?) In the run-up to the finale of ?Love Is Blind? season 9, we get two of the most brutal and unsettling episodes in the franchise?s history. Two couples break up, and at least two other couples *should* break up. Will anyone end up saying yes at the altar? The happiest ending might be a ?no.?

We?re just three weeks into the second season of ?Golden Bachelor? and already a new archetype has emerged: The Golden Villain. Through stolen lemon bars, stolen kisses, and some very overt influencer ambitions, Nicolle has pioneered a pathway for villainy on ?Golden Bachelor.? The aspiring midlife beauty influencer also has a lot of thoughts about chemistry (she has the most of it, obviously) and the relative attractiveness of the two ?Golden Bachelor? casts.  Meanwhile, Peg gets a one-on-one and actually achieves the impossible: getting Mel to loosen up.

?Love Is Blind? Denver continues to give off the most unsettling vibes possible. The couples finish up their honeymoons, head back to the Mile High City and make it as clear as possible how deep their disdain for their partners goes. Against all odds, the least cursed couple seems to be Jordan ? a man who downs chicken breast and Crystal Light smoothies each morning ? and Normal-Amount-of-Sparkle Megan. Everything comes to a head at the western-themed wider pod mixer where conflicts explode and no one likes Nick.

Another week, another lackluster performance from Mel. This week, the Golden ladies do some very cathartic standup comedy ? and really cut Mel down to size. Then, Debbie gets a romantic culinary one-on-one date, during which she gets to do her favorite thing: learn when to put the cheese in the omelette. Mel engages in some serious conversations with several of his frontrunners about their romantic histories and their growing feelings, but it?s mostly the ladies talking. Will Mel learn to loosen up, get vulnerable, and show us all some emotions? Not this week!

In the second half of the first ?Love Is Blind? S9 drop, our very motley crew of Denver health nuts, biohackers, and homophobes seduce each other with dirty talk and promises of Christian babies and white houses with red doors. They also make their final pod choices, get engaged, and head off to Baja for a very sexy ? and VERY drunk ? honeymoon. One couple crumbles before the romantic vacay even begins, but it?s down in Mexico that the cracks in some of these newly-minted relationships really begin to show.

?Love Is Blind? season 9 is here, baby! The pods are open and they?re full of greater-Denver-area weirdos. This season is pure chaos. We?ve got love triangles, love squares and love chains. We?ve got pod GHOSTING. And we?ve got? a lot to say. There was so much content to dive into that we decided to split this recap into two parts!

Earlier this year, we put on a 10-year anniversary show in New York to celebrate a decade of ?Bachelor? commentary. And to properly mark this milestone, we rewatched the ENTIRE first season we recapped: season 11, which starred Bachelor Nation icon Kaitlyn Bristowe. In this live taping, we revisited all of the colorful villains and jaw-dropping dramatic scenes from this banger of a season. Sharleen Joynt and Andy Levine, the cohosts of Dear Shandy, joined us onstage to offer live reactions and tell us about the story behind their moments of screen time during a key moment of Kaitlyn?s journey.

When Mel Owens arrived at the Bachelor Mansion on night one of season 2 of ?Golden Bachelor,? he knew the task at hand: To apologize to the 20+ gorgeous, accomplished, interesting women who were there to date him ? a man who said a bunch of dumb shit on a podcast. The first half of his premiere was spent doing just that, and then we got to move on to the real stars of the season: the ladies? and Freddie Freeman of the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Season 2 of ?The Golden Bachelor? is kicking off next week, and ABC has dropped those cast bios! The fact that 66-year-old lead Mel Owens has said he doesn?t want to date women over 60 (i.e. everyone in the show?s typical age range) has cast a pall over the proceedings, but who could be mad about meeting these 23 vibrant, multifaceted, brilliant women? Not us! We dig into the bios and discover a cast full of midlife health and fashion influencers, cosmetic dentists, and government workers ? whom ABC seems particularly eager to assure us are all addicted to Pilates, long-distance running, and dance.

This week, Bachelor Nation was rocked by an unprecedented announcement: the next Bachelor would actually be a Bachelorette, and that Bachelorette would be? ?Secret Lives of Mormon Wives? star Taylor Frankie Paul. The MomTok founding mother and gossip magnet is already massively famous, and comes with an unusual reputation and background for a ?Bachelorette? leading lady, so naturally we ? and everyone we know ? are still processing! In this episode, we dive into who Taylor Frankie Paul is as a cultural figure, her history of ?soft swinging? and domestic violence arrest, what this choice says about our cultural/political moment, and what we can expect from her upcoming season.

The ?Bachelor in Paradise? season 10 reunion dropped last week ? and then it dropped again, and then it dropped a third and final time. We listened to the two-part podcast reunion, and then watched the YouTube video edit that finally came out this weekend, so we could take in every bit of the room tone, cross talk, and confusing circular arguments about tweets that no one bothered to read or even explain. In the midst of it all, the men from the season seemed to sit back and avoid taking accountability, while the women ended up taking the brunt of the fallout. The more things change?

We made it to the finale of ?Bachelor In Paradise?: the reboot. As our final couples ponder the question of love or money, Sean and Allyshia make a chaotic return to the Hotel Azura to wage the failing-est political campaign in Paradise history. But for two couples, the rom-com vibes remain high. Who will choose love? Who will choose money? And will a few lucky folks get both?

At long last, we can finally put season 7 of ?Love Island USA? to bed. Andy Cohen and Ariana Madix did their level best to pull out some emotional truths and reflections from the season 7 cast, in a two-hour reunion special. Rachelle Hampton of ?Normal Gossip? joins Emma to discuss the unseen footage, Nicolandria, Austin?s inability to speak, and, of course, Huda?s fractured relationships with most of the cast ? specifically Olandria and Chelley. We also get into the gossip that has dropped since the reunion was filmed regarding the status of Pepe and Iris and Amaya and Bryan?s relationships.

The penultimate episode of ?Bachelor In Paradise? has one major goal: Eliminate as many couples as possible so we can speed-run right into a finale next week. And it almost gets there! After a regular elimination mid-episode, the show leaves us on the brink of a double elimination. In between, the couples have a camping trip that features broken equipment and supersized bugs ? and stick literal daggers into each other?s figurative backs.

?Bachelor? recapping legend and ?Last Week Tonight? writer Ali Barthwell rejoins the pod to discuss the losingest political campaign in ?Bachelor in Paradise? history: Sean?s Parliament of Paradise, a would-be alliance that immediately alienates friend and foe alike. But at least it unintentionally delivers something we haven?t seen before ? Spencer?s fiery, strategic side. Plus, Sean asks Kat to pick her most favoritest friend, and he doesn?t like the outcome!

Rachel Recchia is back for the second half of our interview! During this chat we dig into her feelings on the winners of ?Perfect Match? season 3, how all of the couples left things at the end of filming, and whether she?s single now. We also got to hear her reflect on the differences between her ?Bachelor? and ?Perfect Match? experiences, whether she?d ever go on a dating show again, and what her life looks like now.

?Perfect Match? season 3 has come to an end, and like all seasons of this Netflix universe crossover show, the final stretch is inherently anticlimactic. And yet, we still had a lot to say about it! True drama ensues at the last mixer, all of our final 5 couples go on questionably romantic dates, and then the group gathers to vote for the titular Perfect Match. Plus, there?s a sneaky post-script credits sequence that really brings the narrative together.

Former Bachelorette Rachel Recchia joins Love To See It this week for the first of a two-part interview digging into her experience filming ?Perfect Match? season 3! She opens up about her side of her short-lived match with Clayton and its sudden end, her reactions to his postshow press tour ? including what their ?lifestyle differences? are ? her other connections in the villa, and which couple she thought would go the distance.

Actor (?M3GAN 2.0?), podcaster (Landlines) and BFF of the pod Allison Williams makes her triumphant return to Love To See It ? just in time to discuss the horror of being forced to agree with both Brian and Wells during an episode of ?Bachelor In Paradise.? Brian goes rogue, doing some poor gameplay and violating Bro Code, in order to tell Bailey about Jeremy?s phone call to Susie. And absolute mayhem ensues as a result. We also discuss the need for more bombshells, the power of the female vote, and the Golden voting bloc.

Season 3 of ?Perfect Match? is in full swing! We start off this episode by breaking down Clayton?s maddening non-apology podcast tour, then get into the new drop of episodes. With the men and women separated for mixers with the singles, a familiar pattern ensues: the women behave, to protect their relationships, and the men gleefully indulge in carnal delights the minute their partners are not physically present. We discuss the cheating, the lying, and the projection, and we ask ourselves: where do men find the audacity?

As Jesse keeps reminding us, this is the week where EVERYTHING CHANGES in Paradise. Instead of just finding love, the cast is now tasked with finding someone that they can pretend to enjoy enough to make it to the end and secure half a million dollars. The first challenge of this brave new world boosts some, like Jeremy and Bailey, while others, like Gary and Leslie, falter. Meanwhile, Brian is doing backroom deals with Jeremy instead of nurturing his connection with Parisa, and Jonathon is silently friend-zoning yet another woman.

?Perfect Match,? Netflix?s zany revolving door summer dating show, is officially back! And this time, there?s some non-Netflix talent in the mix, including two Bachelor Nation icons: Rachel Recchia and Clayton Echard. In this episode we discuss episodes 1-6, which means that a whole lot of love and drama occur. We get into Rachel and Clayton?s ill-fated reunion, AD and Ollie?s burgeoning love story, and Louis? emergence as the most emotionally intelligent ?Too Hot To Handle? sex idiot.

This week in Paradise, we have a few days of BIP normalcy before, as Jesse Palmer announces, ?everything changes.? Lea, Nancy, and Faith get date cards, the whole gang engages in a very feathery mating ritual, and Allyshia arrives to stir up conflict between Dale and Kat.

Good morning, islanders! Season 7?s time in the villa may be over, but the ?Love Island? discourse continues. The cast has been making the podcast rounds, with Amaya and Huda sitting down on Call Her Daddy, Chelley and Olandria chatting with Keke Palmer, and more. And one interview in particular (*cough* Huda) has been fueling the drama. Meanwhile, the beloved season 6 cast has returned with the Bravo-style limited series ?Beyond the Villa.? And to kick off today?s episode, we touch on some ?Bachelor in Paradise? cast reactions and new hosting gigs for Bachelor stars.

It?s only been 8 days in Paradise, but so much is happening! The chyrons are cooking, people (namely Kat and Dale) are having extremely circular, potentially relationship-ending arguments, Jeremy and Bailey are sharing one piece of gum, Kathy is doing body shots, and the Goldens finally get a date card. ?BIP? is finally feeling like (almost) paradise.
