The main event for today's show is trying out Jay Reace's vegan porkless pork rinds he so kindly sent us.... Safe to say Soph is defo not a fan, while Rich says its food so he will eat anything LOL. However everyone agreed Nacho cheese flavour were the better ones of a bad bunch. Series review this week - Rich chose Life & Beth on Hulu, giving it a solid 5/5 saying he is a big fan. Soph went with season 3 of After Life on Netflix. While she LOVED 1 & 2, she said 3 left her feeling disappointed & gave it a 2/5.
