Why the Love is Blind Marriages Failed

We're back after a busy couple of months in our personal lives. So naturally, we went off topic as it felt like we had to catch up our lives.

After that weird conversation (our apologies) we get back into the world of Reality TV. We're sharing our thoughts on Season 2 of FBoy Island (and where production made mistakes), the three Love is Blind: After the Altar episodes for Season 2 (and who is still together), and the first two episodes of The Challenge: Ride or Dies (and who else is expected to show up).

To our surprise, Netflix decided to launch the 3rd season of Love is Blind early and we can't wait to watch!

Plus, we have some news on a possible air date for the next season of Temptation Island.

Final Thoughts on Temptation Island and The Circle

After a busy month or so, we finally got together to discuss the Temptation Island finale and reunion. Are we happy with the results? And what did the producers and editors get wrong on their end? We also discuss what could happen in a future season.

We also discuss Season 4 of the The Circle, which arguably had the best/most competitive cast yet.

We then react to the trailers for FOUR reality shows that we will be discussing over the next few months. We'll be discussing The One That Got Away on Amazon Prime Video, The Challenge USA on CBS, Love Island on Peacock, and season 2 of FBoy Island on HBO Max.

Are you Team Gillian or Team Edgar?

We're catching up on season 4 of Temptation Island as the Final Bonfires loom. We're discussing each of the couples and share our thoughts on their experiences, and whether any will be leaving Hawaii with the person they arrived with.  We'll also discuss what we've enjoyed about the new season, and what they should do on the Peacock TV side of things to add more content.

We also share our first impressions of the cast of Season 4 of the The Circle. Who are we rooting for this early in the season? And who has already annoyed us.

Plus, a popular reality show is switching networks! We discuss which one it is, and why the marketing for this switch is rather... interesting.

Do Marriage Ultimatums Really Work?

Our small break turned into a long one, so much was going on but we still found time to watch reality TV.  So much in fact that we couldn't get it all in one episode!

We spent this episode talking all about The Ulimatum, Netflix's newest reality show that has been a hit! We share our honest thoughts on the concept, the couples, and all the drama of the show itself. We also discuss which relationships we think will last and what potential changes could be made for a 2nd season.

We also preview Season 4 of The Circle, which just recently debuted. Plus, Angela tells us all about the cruise she and Ryan took a few weeks ago.

We'll be discussing Temptation Island on our next episode so stay tuned for that!

Seriously, Shake, Just Shut Up!

There comes a point when you learn when to speak and when not to speak. Shake is not at that point yet and we don't think he'll ever get there. But his emergence as another Reality TV Villain is just one of things we'll talk about as we discuss the Love Is Blind Season 2 Reunion episode. Where are the couples now? And did any new sparks emerge?

From there, we move on to Maui as the rebooted Temptation Island returns for a 4th season.  We breakdown the couples that are testing their relationships and the singles that head to the villas looking for love.

The Grand Tradition of the Love is Blind Super Villain

The experiment in the pods has returned! We're talking all about Season 2 of the Netflix Reality Series, Love is Blind.  We're talking about the pods, the couples (including the ones that didn't get shown), the potential homewrecker, and the path each took to the altar. But was love really blind for any of them?

We also discuss how some of their relationships issues relate to our own personal experiences. And what should they add to the series in the future, especially if the couples are seriously considering marriage? And what did Love is Blind Japan get right, that the US version did not? We also predict what may happen on the upcoming reunion episode.

Plus, we have some updates on future seasons of The Challenge, a new Real World Homecoming is announced, and Temptation Island will be back very soon!
