So Much for Resisting Temptation

Temptation Island has hit Netflix with a bang... literally. We're discussing the episodes 2 thru 5 of the show's first season on a streaming service. We try to make sense of all the cheating, crying, bonfire reactions, and try to figure out who, if any, will stay together in the end. And did Temptation Island just take over as the best reality show on Netflix?

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 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.
