  Sep 3, 202645 min

  Was the Love Island USA Season 8 reunion… a flop? In this episode, I’m joined by journalist and pop culture content creator Farai Bennett to hilariously break down our unfiltered thoughts on the reunion. Together, we break down the “Core Four” dynamics, who we think were actually the “mean girls,” share our opinions on the final four couples (spoiler alert: only one of us loves “brinity”), and why it felt like none of the men were getting nearly enough heat! We also discuss our fear of Dylan (lol), the Jaiden and Caleb controversy, what Sol could have done differently, and, of course… the girth check. Love Island fans, this one is for you! Tune in now to hear our hot takes about the Love Island Reunion!

  Bravo Hot Takes: The Valley, Next Gen NYC, Real Housewives, Below Deck & Southern Hospitality

  Aug 27, 202654 min

  It may be a slow season for reality TV, but there is still plenty happening in the Bravoverse—and I have thoughts! This week, I’m breaking down all the biggest moments from The Valley reunion, including the major differences between Luke and Kristen, the complicated dynamic between Michelle, Jesse, and Lacy, and, of course, Danny’s drinking—and what really happened after Jasmine’s wedding. Then we’re heading to New York for Next Gen NYC . I’m ranking the entire cast from best to worst based on everything we’ve seen this season—and yes, I have some HOT takes about Brooks, Shai, and Charlie. Plus, there’s plenty of drama brewing in Charleston, from Southern Hospitality STILL waiting on a renewal to Leva’s pending lawsuit. And of course, we’re checking in on all the latest Below Deck Mediterranean drama and what’s happening on The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip .
