Island of Reality

Hello Again, Casa Amor

After a little family vacation, JC and Tina discuss the current season of Love Island US (or is it Love Island USA) on CBS. We're sharing our thoughts on the season so far and why we're enjoying the weekly Paramount Plus Exclusive episodes. We talk about the most recent big elimination, which had some crazy surprises, and why we thing the new men and women of Casa Amor may be sticking around for a lot longer.

Plus, we share our initial thoughts on Sexy Beasts, and look ahead to the Love is Blind: After the Altar special on Netflix, the debuting FBoy Island on HBO Max, and the announcement of The Challenge: Spies, Lies, and Allies, which premieres on MTV next month.

The Prize Money Keeps Disappearing

The cast of Season 2 of Too Hot to Handle must not like money. We're talking about episodes 3-6 of the Netflix series and try to figure out why they have not been able to go 24 hours without some sort of rule break. Will they have any money left?

Fessy and Kendal Can't Talk Their Way Out of Anything

Reunions are always fun for Reality TV. So this week was a lot of fun!

The cast of The Challenge Double Agents reunites for Part 1 of the Reunion. We discuss the glory that was the Make Fun of Fessy Show and some of the other secrets revealed.  And what do we expect from Part 2?

The Challenge All Stars has hit the half-way mark, but was just hit with a crazy new twist.

Double Agent Domination & Failed MakeOvers

Let's face it, CT and Amber just dominated the final of The Challenge Double Agents. We discuss how they got it done, the crazy race for 2nd place, and karma catching up to Fessy, who delivers a very predictable "excuse." And what do we think the theme of the next season will be?

We also go in depth on the next four episodes of The Circle as JC and Tina can hardly contain their excitement over the addition of Khat Bell. We discuss all the fun games they played (and how they outed a few catfishes), the use of the Joker, and the twist that was teased at the end.

Plus, we briefly discuss the Temptation Island, since there was only one bonfire result, and The Challenge All Stars. We will be going in depth more on those shows next week.
