@Betches will be back this Friday! But first... In our final White Lotus recap, we're sending off Season 3 with a bang. Host Sami Sage is joined by MSNBC's The 11th Hour anchor—and our honorary White Lotus foreign correspondent—Stephanie Ruhle (@stephruhle). In true girlhood fashion, they watched the finale live together last night, and now they're ready to unpack it all… while the surviving guests pack their bags. From the accuracy (or misfire) of their predictions to the moral journeys of each character, Sami and Stephanie dive into what made this season so compelling—and so devastating. Plus, they reflect on what we can all take away from a finale that was as emotionally brutal as it was beautifully done.

We hope you're enjoying your stay with us at The White Lotus—just don't get too comfortable. On this week's episode, host Sami Sage (@sami) is joined by pop culture pros Gibson Johns (@gibsonoma) and Sarah Galli (@damegalli) to dissect every chilling and thrilling moment from Episode 7. Sure, this may not have been the most dramatic penultimate episode of all time, but the tide is always lowest right before a tsunami... They get right down to business discussing their own finale theories, how Mike White's usage of intercuts ramps up the tension, and why the Internet seems to think this season is boring.

This week, guests Kate Kennedy (@katekennedy) and Lindsay Silberman (@lindsaysilb) are checking in with host Sami Sage (@sami) for a super-sized episode. Because let's be real, we're all thinking the same thing: what the hell happened last night?! (Consider this like group therapy for processing all that we've witnessed...) After that whirlwind of an episode, we have more questions than answers: How do the Ratliffs even move forward from here? Is it worse that Jaclyn made a selfish decision, or that she couldn't stand on business? And what divine forces possessed Gaitok to actually get something right for once? Let's unpack it all.

The jungle is empty and all the (party) animals are at The White Lotus. This week, host Sami Sage is joined by pop culture enthusiasts Lex Niko (@lexniko) and Ryan Bailey (@sobaditsgoodwithryanbailey) to dissect the mind games, power plays, and bold-faced betrayals that are setting the stage for what's bound to be a dark finale. We talk best guests, worst guests, employees that clearly should not have jobs, and even hash out which of our favorite Bravo stars we need to see at a White Lotus.

This week, Jordana and Sami discuss the news that King Charles is finally a podcaster, with his new show "The Music Room" - and the unexpected revelation that he's a Kylie Minogue fan. Next, Jennifer Garner's boyfriend has allegedly given Ben Affleck an ultimatum in reaction to their recent pap photos. If you ask us, it's time for Ben to move on to an entirely new Jennifer, and we have a few candidates in mind... Timothée and Kylie were spotted packing on the PDA at a tennis tournament, but Jordana's still not convinced about their relationship. Speaking of couples, Meryl Streep and Martin Short have yet to *officially* confirm their romance, but Jordana and Sami predict that they'll outlast both Timmy/Kylie and Taylor/Travis. And where has Taylor been lately, anyway? Our Betch of the week is Elizabeth Oyer, the DoJ official who was fired for refusing to reinstate Mel Gibson's gun rights. And we're sending Ben Affleck to the Caymans for landing himself in drama with an ex-wife yet again. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This week, host Sami Sage is joined by author, former White House Deputy Chief of Staff, and co-host of the Hysteria podcast, Alyssa Mastromonaco, for a can't-miss deep dive into all things White Lotus Episode 4. And trust us: there is so much to unpack. Last night's episode delivered some major payoffs, and let's just say... we feel very vindicated about a few of our theories. But with chaos brewing and a full moon looming, the real question is: how much worse can things possibly get? (Spoiler alert: a lot.) The downward spiral is officially in motion, and we can't wait to watch every deliciously messy second.

This week, Jordana and Sami compare notes on their best and worst moments from Sunday's Academy Awards, including Cynthia and Ariana's Wicked performance, Kieran Culkin and Adrian Brody's speeches, and agism in the Best Actor vs. Best Actress categories. Then, they give their honest review of the first two episodes of Meghan Markle/Sussex's new Netflix show, With Love, Meghan, and cover everything from local bee keeping, to awkwardly correcting Mindy Kaling, and whether this show actually helps us understand who the real Meghan is. Finally, they wrap with some quick-fire pop culture updates featuring Mason Disick, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner, and the late Gene Hackman. Our joint Betches of the week are Cynthia Erivo for her amazing live rendition of "Defying Gravity," and Mikey Madison for her Oscar victory. Meghan and Adrien Brody are both getting sent to the Caymans as punishment for simply being annoying. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Week 3 of our stay here at The White Lotus and we're starting to feel that slow burn... This week, Emma Diamond and Julie Kramer of the Comments by Celebs podcast (@commentsbycelebs) join Sami Sage in the studio to dive into the trouble brewing in paradise. Will Greg/Gary's boat be the same yacht from season 2? What's up with Lochlan and the tsunami videos? And what the hell was Rick thinking with the snakes?! (Justice for "filler episodes.")

This week, Aleen and Sami begin with a tribute to Michelle Trachtenberg, in light of her tragic passing on Wednesday. Then, they unpack the news that infamous conman Billy McFarland is back with plans for Fyre Festival 2, featuring a lot of vague ideas and exactly zero confirmed artists. Will Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino make an appearance? Who exactly is shelling out $1.1mil for VIP tickets to the "experience of Fyre" (whatever that means)? In podcast news, Alix Earle's podcast has been dropped by Alex Cooper's Unwell Network, amidst rumors and Deux Moi posts hinting at tension between the Al(i/e)xes. Speaking of Alex Cooper, Monica Lewinsky promoted her new podcast with a guest appearance on Call Her Daddy this week, stirring Aleen and Sami's formative elementary school memories of the scandal and impeachment trial. Next up, they dive into the series premiere of The Baldwins - from Hilaria doubling down on the Spanish accent, to Alec's Rust trial, to their seven (seven!) kids, to the ultimate question of: ¿por qué? Pivoting from trashy reality to prestige scripted, they share their latest White Lotus takes. Our Betch of the Week is Rihanna, for the exciting news about her long-awaited 9th album, and we're sending Billy McFarland off to the Caymans because we know how much he loves an island.

This week, Sami catches Jordana up on her recent ski trip (she's come a long way from that first attempt). Then, they share their thoughts on SNL's recent 50th Anniversary concert and special - most notably Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively's appearance. Was it a strategic ploy to appear strong in the face of their legal battle with Justin Baldoni? And did Ryan give Blake a heads up before doing that joke? Next, Sami and Jordana break down everything wrong with Meghan Markle's renamed lifestyle brand As Ever, and her public image at large. Speaking of public image, Maya Hawke revealed this week that a large Instagram following is becoming a requirement to getting cast in films. What happened to good old fashioned talent? Finally, they wrap with some White Lotus reactions - make sure to check out Sami's recap episodes and Substack every Monday for a deeper dive. Our Betch of the Week is Cher for her incredible performance at the SNL 50 concert, and Ryan Reynolds can sit next to Jordana on her upcoming flight to the Caymans so he can explain the thought process behind his behavior.

In this premiere episode of The @Betches White Lotus Recap Podcast, host Sami Sage checks us into the newest season of HBO's The White Lotus with a full rundown of Episode 1, accompanied by producer Hannah Trageton.

This week, Aleen and Jordana celebrate Betches' 14th birthday, reminisce about their early days growing the company, and announce the launch of Aleen's new Substack, Please Advise. Then, they get into all things Super Bowl LIX: Taylor getting booed, Kendrick wearing Timothée Chalamet's Celine jeans and leaning into pettiness at the halftime show, Jeremy Strong's Dunkin' ad, Paige and Craig sightings, and more. If you're as excited about the return of The White Lotus as we are, then tune into Sami's recap episodes every Monday on the @Betches podcast feed. Our Betch of the Week, presented by Peacock's Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy, is Jalen Hurts for his decisive win. We're sending Travis Kelce to the Caymans for being a little too polite about the man who publicly trolls his girlfriend. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This bonus episode of @Betches is sponsored by Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy, streaming exclusively on Peacock. Aleen, Jordana, and Sami share their love of Bridget, and the way the movies celebrate imperfect women. Then, they discuss their Valentines day plans, reflect on their angsty teen journal entries, and memories of accidental pot brownie consumption. To close out the episode, they read some listener submission diary entires about their crushes. Stream Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy now, only on Peacock.  Learn more about your ad choices.

This week, Aleen, Jordana, and Sami share their highlights from the Grammys and dissect Taylor's outfit for hidden meanings. Then, after having read the full Justin Baldoni lawsuit, they try to analyze the strategic mind of Blake Lively, and how things got so messy. What are the chances Blake joins Taylor at the Super Bowl on Sunday? In Oscars news, Emilia Pérez might not be as much of a frontrunner as originally projected, now that Karla Sofia Gascon's problematic tweets have come to light. Aleen thinks Zoe Saldaña might still have a fighting chance. On the awards circuit for A Real Pain, Jesse Eisenberg has been trying to distance himself from the association with Mark Zuckerberg... don't worry, Jesse, you're much more human to us. Our Betch of the Week, presented by Peacock's Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy, is obviously Beyonce for her long-awaited Grammy wins, tour announcement, and our favorite meme so far this year. As for the Caymans, we're sending Kim Kardashian's ex husband (who shall not be named) for his red carpet stunt, and Karla for those tweets and her lack of apology. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This week, Aleen, Jordana, and Sami analyze the latest pap photos and rumors around Taylor Swift's potential engagement to Travis Kelce. Could a pair of gloves be hiding a ring, or is it just freezing outside? Are they waiting until after the Super Bowl to make their big announcement? Is this all an intentional distraction tactic to distance herself from the Blake Lively drama? On that note, Jordana's entire TikTok algorithm is full of It Ends With Us drama, which prompted her and Sami to rewatch the OG Gossip Girl pilot - and Chuck is so much worse than they remembered. Next, they celebrate Meryl Streep's incredible escape from the LA wildfires by cutting a hole in her fence and driving through it. Then, Spencer Pratt remains consistent as Heidi Montag's biggest fan, shutting down fan suggestions that she should join RHOBH. Our Betch of the Week is Chanel Ayan, who mistakenly thought the former Survivor contestants on The Traitors were in fact survivors of real life tragedies. No one is going to the Caymans this week - but if you think there's someone who deserves it, let us know your thoughts! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This week, Aleen, Jordana, and Sami share where they were when TikTok went dark, their theories about how the app is changing, and their favorite memes from Monday's inauguration. Then, they dive deep into Justin Baldoni's new lawsuit and some of the more revealing text exchanges with Blake Lively (aka Khaleesi?). Is Ryan Reynolds the real mastermind behind this feud? What does Jenny Slate know that we don't? There's more to this than what we've seen so far, and we'll be keeping an eye on how things unfold. Next, Oscar nominations were announced yesterday, and it looks like it's time for Aleen to finally finish watching Emilia Pérez, because it came out on top with an impressive, if baffling, 13 noms. Finally, they give their review of fellow Best Picture nominee Anora. Our joint Betches of the Week are TikTok, for pulling a Selena Gomez and coming back online a mere 12 hours after dramatically going dark, and @Bee.Better.Company for helping us decipher the Baldoni lawsuit. We're sending Ryan Reynolds to the Caymans to get his ego under control once and for all. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This week, Sami shares her chilling Facebook hacking experience with Aleen and Jordana, before getting into the headlines. First, Heidi and Spencer have turned tragedy into an unexpected comeback, galvanizing their followers into getting Heidi's 2010 album to #1 on iTunes. We love their love and we wish them well! Next, Timothée Chalamet is headed back to SNL this weekend as host… and musical guest. Is he going to be in full Bob Dylan mode, or should we be expecting a song from the Lil Timmy Tim archives? After a long enough hiatus that neither Aleen and Jordana can remember season 1, Severance is finally back for season 2. Was their performance art publicity stunt in Grand Central cool enough to get Sami to binge it? Finally, there are a few things the trio *did* watch this week - they share their highlights and theories from the new episodes of The Traitors, and give their review of awards darling Conclave. Our Betch of the Week is Speidi, and we're sending Lauren Conrad to the Caymans for not making a video promoting Superficial, and for that resurfaced video from The Hills where she made fun of Heidi's new job. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This week, Aleen, Jordana, and Sami discuss their favorite Golden Globes moments: Nikki Glaser's impeccable hosting prowess, Demi Moore and Zoe Saldaña's first ever Globe wins (even certified Emilia Pérez hater Aleen can attest that she earned it), Zendaya and Tom Holland soft launching their engagement, and Timmy and Kylie apparently still going strong. Then, they give a thorough review of The Substance, and why Demi's performance was so effective, even if some elements of the story didn't quite add up. Finally, Jordana explains Jennifer Aydin's recent outburst at an airport Jersey Mikes, and they share some airport annoyances of their own. Our joint Betches of the week are Nikki and Demi, and Jen Aydin can catch the next flight out to the Caymans to figure out how to talk to service workers. Learn more about your ad choices.

Happy New Year, Betch! Aleen, Jordana, and Sami get caught up on the latest pop culture news, starting with the latest in the Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni situation. They may have won Betches' Feud of the Year award in 2024, but it's still going strong in 2025. Next, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are finally divorced after an eight year long battle - we'll never know exactly what happened on that plane, and that's ok. Sami and Aleen are excited for Meghan Markle's upcoming Netflix show, but Jordana is less than impressed at the idea of the Duchess of Sussex making jams. Will Aleen watch Wicked in time for the Golden Globes on Sunday? Either way, make sure you're following Betches on socials for our awards show coverage. Our Betch of the Week is Meghan Markle (Jordana's protest vote is noted), and we're sending Justin, Blake, and Ryan to the Caymans for all their shady PR moves. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

It's the last week of the year, so Aleen, Jordana, and Sami are here to share their holiday plans and personal resolutions for 2025. Then, they make some bold predictions for the upcoming year in pop culture, from celebrity break ups and weddings, to career comebacks and business moves, future Betches of the Week, and who might find themselves getting sent to the Caymans.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This week, Aleen, Jordana, and Sami kick things off with the exciting news that Betches is now an official media partner of the NFL! Speaking of football, is Aaron Rodgers cursed, or is it just the Jets? Either way they may want to contact the TikTok witch that predicted Jared's future wife (IYKYK). Onto celeb news, Taylor Swift turned 35 last Friday, and Travis reportedly spent $175K on gifts - but still no ring, to Jordana's dismay. Over in the Bravo-verse, James Kennedy says he's focusing on “sobriety and personal growth” after his recent domestic violence-related arrest, and we hope everyone involved gets the help they need. Next, they turn their attention to The Cut's new essay from Ethan Slater's wife, Lilly Jay, in her first public statement since the messy love triangle (square?) with Ariana Grande… and TBH it's not really giving what we were hoping it would give. Then, they catch up on some recent TV favorites and recommendations for what to binge over the holidays. Finally, Betch of the Week has to go to bday girl Taylor, and Hawk Tuah is getting sent to the Caymans for the fiasco of her $HAWK memecoin. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This week, Aleen, Jordana, and Sami jump straight into their favorite story of the week: Selena Gomez's engagement to Benny Blanco - and her perfectly curated IG post (she knows what the people want to see). Will Justin and Hailey score an invite? Is Taylor secretly pissed that Benny popped the question before Travis? They get into all the theories and curate their top 5 celeb bridesmaids. Next, congrats are in order for Reesa Tessa, who rightfully took the crown for Betch of the Year, and Jack Schlossberg, who was named Babygirl of the Year (he really is one of us). Lindsay Lohan is back with a new Netflix movie, but more importantly, are the facelift rumors true? Maybe Michael Lohan put it best when he said her look is “so natural, just like her talent.” Moving on to less celebratory news, Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly have split just weeks after announcing their pregnancy, but Jordana has her own theory about where their journey is heading. Speaking of famous exes, is there a dollar amount high enough to convince Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie to work together again? One film producer seems to think so, but it sounds a little too much like the plot of America's Sweethearts to be believed. Finally, they close out with Hilary Duff's daughter's very sweet reaction to Sabrina Carpenter's Lizzie McGuire costume. With two Golden Globe noms *and* an engagement, our Betch of the Week is obviously Selena - we'd give anything to go to that wedding. And Machine Gun Kelly is getting put on the first flight out to the Caymans for whatever incriminating “material” Megan Fox found on his phone.  Learn more about your ad choices.

The Betch of the Year issue is live! Aleen, Sami, and Jordana kick off this week's episode with a breakdown of some of their favorite categories and nominees. Then, Sami and Jordana share all their thoughts on Wicked, including an analysis of Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater's on screen chemistry (or lack thereof). Speaking of celeb relationships, are Taylor and Travis getting engaged any time soon? And if the Chiefs don't clinch another Super Bowl win, is the relationship doomed? Meanwhile, Ellen DeGeneres and Portia fled the states for the English countryside, but we're not sure we're buying that it was all to get away from US politics. And finally, Sami and Jordana get into Netflix's new JonBenet Ramsey docuseries and compare their theories. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Happy Thanksgiving, Betch. This week, Aleen, Jordana, and Sami share their plans for the holiday and compare notes on festive dishes. Are Brussels sprouts a millennial vegetable, and is that why they're not as trendy as they used to be? Sami and Aleen explain to Jordana why everyone this past weekend was “holding space” for the lyrics of Defining Gravity, and why the Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo press tour has been the inspiration for countless memes. This episode was recorded on Monday, so come back next week for their thoughts on the film. In the meantime, Aleen finally rewatched the original Gladiator, and it did make her cry. Our Betch of the Week is Tracy Gilchrist, the Out reporter who gave us the incredible gift of that Wicked interview, and we're sending the pilgrims to the Caymans for a multitude of past sins.  Make sure to finish reading Such A Bad Influence by Olivia Muenter, so you can join us on Monday, December 2nd for the final episode of our Betches Book Club, presented by Nutella Biscuits!

This week, Sami and Aleen have theories for just about everything: JonBenét Ramsey's killer, the link between last year's Roman Empire meme and this year's Gladiator II film, what the Tesla robot means for our futures, the secret inscription inside the friendship ring Leonardo DiCaprio gave Kate Winslet (and why they kissed this week), and Anne Hathaway and her husband possibly being the reincarnation of William Shakespeare and his wife (seriously, do an image search and tell them they're wrong). In a segment sponsored by Truly Hard Seltzer, they share their Friendsgiving plans. Then, they share their thoughts on My Old Ass, and contemplate what would happen if they could go back in time and meet their younger selves... and whether their past self would even listen. Finally, they celebrate the premiere of RHOBH season 14, and Dorit leaning into her villain era. Our Betch of the Week is Dorit, and we're sending the Tesla robot to the Caymans. If it's so smart, let it figure out how to sell those time shares.

This week, Sami shares some dog updates with Aleen and Jordana, before they get into the stories of the week. First up is People's Sexiest Man Alive, John Krasinski, and the DeuxMoi blind item that has people second guessing his crowning. Did Glen Powell and Pedro Pascal actually turn it down, or is that just what their publicists want us to think? Wicked is almost in theaters, and Sami heard a rumor it's the best movie musical since Chicago... Meanwhile, Mattel had to apologize after accidentally linking to a porn site on its Wicked doll packaging. Next up, fellow podcaster Armie Hammer had his mother on the show, who shared that she got him a vasectomy for his birthday last year to make sure there wouldn't be any more little Hammers running around. Usually our moms just take us to dinner, but to each their own. Then, they send congrats to Megan Fox on her pregnancy and speculate on Khloé's mysterious new business venture. In a segment sponsored by Truly Hard Seltzer, they share some of their fall traditions. Aleen gives her review of the first half of Emilia Perez, which unexpectedly evoked shades of Cocomelon.

Welcome to the first episode of the Betches Book Club, presented by Nutella Biscuits! This week, Aleen, Jordana, and Sami dive into the first 8 chapters of Such a Bad Influence by Olivia Muenter, which follows the story of an influencer who goes missing, and the older sister determined to find her. They talk dream casting for the movie before unpacking everything from snarky Reddit threads and DeuxMoi parodies, to momagers and true crime podcasters. Come back next week for Part 2, where they cover chapters 9-16, and make sure to leave all your comments and theories on Spotify and Instagram. The only thing better than sharing a good read with your book club friends is having some delicious snacks at the function, which is why we'll be snacking on Nutella Biscuits while we discuss. They're the perfect club snack — so pick up a bag and follow along with us.  https://shop.mikmak.ai/social/66fc3cf5c50b9b0f14904402?utm_source=9670019&utm_medium[…]tm_campaign=32443607&utm_term=402566169&utm_content=223532886 Learn more about your ad choices.

This week, Aleen, Sami, and Jordana are here to distract you - and themselves - from the news cycle with a deep dive into the new Martha Stewart documentary that hit Netflix last week. They compare notes on all their favorite moments, peruse her incredible Instagram account (if you're not following @marthastewart48, you have no idea what you're missing), and talk about her recent NYT interview where she shared her less-than-favorable thoughts on how it turned out. In a segment sponsored by Truly Hard Seltzer, they share some of their fall traditions. To close out the episode, Jordana gives her review of M. Night Shyamalan's latest film, Trap. Our Betch of the Week is, of course, Martha Stewart. But we're also sending her to the Caymans, because, like all true icons, she's flawed.  Make sure to get your copy of Such A Bad Influence by Olivia Muenter and read chapters 1-8, so you can join us on Monday, November 11th for the first episode of our Betches Book Club, presented by Nutella Biscuits! We'll be covering the book for the next 4 Mondays, right here in the @Betches podcast feed.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This week, Aleen and Jordana celebrate Halloween in the studio in matching Carmela and Tony Soprano costumes (check @aleen and @jordanaabraham on IG for the full fits). They kick things off with the spookiest story of the week: Armie Hammer's newly announced podcast, aptly named "The Armie HammerTime Podcast." Next, Timothée Chalamet showed up at his own lookalike contest in NY this week, and Aleen and Jordana get caught up on some of the the ClubChalamet lore. Moving on to celeb relationship news: Despite recent public appearances together looking loved up, Zoë Kravtiz and Channing Tatum have reportedly split - and Jenna Dewan's fiancé seems to find that hilarious, for reasons unknown. Gisele Bündchen and her Jiu-Jitsu instructor/boyfriend are expecting their first child together, and Tom Brady might be feeling kind of emo about it, if his IG stories are any indication. Nick Cannon opened up about feeling insecure during his marriage to “Alpha” Mariah Carey, which leads to a conversation about relationship dynamics within successful couples. Jordana and Aleen share their thoughts on A Friend Of The Family, streaming on Peacock (true crime counts for Halloween, right?). Then, a game of Ick or Treat with five pop culture moments from the week, from Ariana Grande's bf on the cover of GQ to Kim's birthday post for Caitlyn. Finally, a tribute to queen of Halloween, Heidi Klum, who we'd love to share a cider with, sponsored by Angry Orchard Hard Cider. We're sending Armie back to the Caymans yet again, and Steve Kazee to the Caymans for cackling on IG stories after the Zoe/Channing breakup.  Learn more about your ad choices.

While Aleen's off in LA, Jordana and Sami debate the pros and cons of the LA vs. NY lifestyles. Next, the Betches Canceled Plans issue is officially live, and they discuss the joys of both canceling and getting canceled on. Onto the pop culture headlines, Kylie is on the November cover of Elle, but Jordana's more concerned with Wicked's marketing team's decision to host a special screening for the Kardashian-Jenner kids. In other news, what's going on with Justin Bieber's finances? We'll be keeping an eye out for a potential future lawsuit. Then, much as it pains Jordana and Sami to discuss this without Aleen, J Lo's ex-husband Ojani Noa went on TV this week and blamed Diddy for their divorce. Honestly, we just want a deep dive documentary on what really happened during the two years J Lo and Diddy dated. And at long last, Jordana and Sami share their long-awaited thoughts on It Ends With Us. Finally, they decide which celeb of the week they are sharing a cider with, sponsored by Angry Orchard Hard Cider. Our Betch of the Week is Anna Kendrick, for her directorial debut Woman of the Year on Netflix, and we're sending both of the marketing teams for Wicked and It Ends With Us to the Caymans.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Before catching up, they take a moment to reflect on the heartbreaking news surrounding the passing of former One Direction star, Liam Payne.

And this time around you get to vote on which celebrity, athlete, creator, or viral moment should take home the top honor of Betch of the Year. Next, the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show returned after a six-year hiatus. They share their thoughts on the changing standards of beauty in the fashion industry. Then, Jordana and Sami dive into a masterclass on deception, unpacking the week's TV dramas, including the eye-opening Anatomy of a Lie documentary and the gripping finale of Tell Me Lies. Was Aleen successfully convinced to tune in? Then, Jordana and Sami decide which celeb of the week they are sharing a cider with, sponsored by Angry Orchard Hard Cider. Finally, Stephen and Lucy from Tell Me Lies get sent to the Caymans and our Betch of the Week is Sami's new BFF, Meryl Streep. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
