Save Kyle‘s Favorite Pub From Burning Down

There were some questionable decisions on The Challenge: Spies, Lies, and... Mucus Plugs? We try to figure out why Ed felt Kyle was the best option for pole wrestle. But did Kyle miss a golden opportunity by not joining the Emerald team? We break it all down.

The four couples of Marriage Boot Camp: Hip Hop Edition get right into some of their major issues on Days 2 and 3 in the boot camp house. Most of them come to light early on, but how will a side homophobic comment by Mally Mall affect the remaining days of camp?

Plus, we discuss watching sports with Spanish commentary, the difficulties of being LGBTQ+ in the hip hop community, and a second season of 12 Dates of Christmas may be closer than you think.

Return of Cutthroat & Quarantine Boot Camp

Just when we thought The Challenge: Spies, Lies, and Allies couldn't get any more twisted, TJ completely changes the format. We discuss what we think of the new setup, the strategy that needs to go into deliberation, and which previous Challenge season compares best to the new setup.

The new season of Marriage Boot Camp: Hip Hop Edition has begun. But before the four couples can even get into the house, they have to spend two weeks in a hotel room together before they can even meet Dr. Ish and Judge Toler. We share our first impressions of the four couples and predict which relationship will survive the camp.

Plus, we discuss decades being used as dress up themes (and which one makes us feel old), the worst way to get cheated on, and the release date for the 2nd season of The Challenge: All Stars on Paramount Plus.

The ”Messy” Fessy Fallout & a New Circle Champion

We're talking all about the fallout from the "Messy" Fessy fight on The Challenge: Spies, Lies, and Allies. We discuss if anyone else should have been eliminated from the night. The whole game changed on the latest episode. But are Tori and Ashley to blame for the way the teams have been set up now? And what cast member will not attend the Reunion?

Also, we now have a new champion of The Circle. We look back at the final five episodes of the season. Did we just see the best "catfish" player of all-time? We also discuss some potential changes for future seasons to make the show more interesting.

Plus, the new season of Marriage Boot Camp starts next week and when can we expect to see the next season of Temptation Island?

Cliffhanger Week on The Challenge & The Circle

The latest episode of The Challenge: Spies, Lies, and Allies was only an hour long, but did it ever leave us wanting more. There was a very nice date, a surprise musical performance, and a long overdue argument that may have some major consequences. Will anyone be sent home as a result?

We also discuss thru episode 8 of the 3rd season of The Circle. We share our first impressions of the new cast members, the alliances that have been formed, and why this season has just seemed to drag along. Netflix left us with a cliffhanger after the 8th episode, but did they spoil who got eliminated in the trailer for the next 4 episodes?

Plus, a Challenge cast member and a Challenge alum are set to go head-to-head in a boxing ring. And is the back-to-back filming strategy hurting the quality of Netflix's Reality TV shows?

Fessy Breaks the Truce and a Return to The Circle

We're talking all about episodes 4 and 5 of The Challenge: Spies, Lies, and Allies. Is Fessy justified in going after Amber or is he just being a sore loser... or is he just the weak link in the Big Brother Alliance? And what two Challenge cast members make up "Team Meltdown".

The Circle is back for a 3rd season! We dive into the first 2 and quarter episodes of the new season and share our first impressions of the starting cast and whether or not the Clone Twist was strategically well used.

Plus, we celebrate Ryan & Angela's 3rd Wedding Anniversary and send birthday wishes to Challenge cast member (and Real World alum), Aneesa.

Tori's Political Game is Her Downfall

We're discussing an eventful third episode of The Challenge: Spies, Lies, and Allies.

And why do we think Berna has a chance to win the season?

Plus, we discuss some news on Season 3 of The Circle, the next season of Temptation Island, and the next season of The Challenge: All Stars

Spies, Lies, and Allies... and FBoys

You're kidding me right?  All those red flags and that still happened? Those were just some of the questions we have after watching the Final Four episodes of FBoy Island on HBO Max.  We share our thoughts on it all and what expect for the future of the series after the announcement of Season 2.
