Can I Steal You For A Minute?

We're here to discuss all of this past week's drama on Love Island USA — and it sure was dramatic! Nic is growing on us, and his connection with Cierra feels promising, but we're not convinced it'll last. Huda and Jeremiah continue to suck the life out of the villa, even after their separation, and Iris might not be the solution. We're mourning Jalen's exit, confused by Austin and Amaya's vibe, and annoyed that Charlie was the one sent home after America's vote. Paige's mysterious challenge disappearance finally makes sense, and Olandria's secret room moment had all the boys lining up. Taylor's time in the villa should probably be over, we're not sold on Ace and Chelley, and yes — one former islander is headed to The Traitors. Oh, and we now know where one cast member stands politically... and it was a surprise.   Over on Love Island UK Season 12, episodes 1 through 7 are showing early promise. We talk about the major differences between the USA and UK versions, and how the UK still struggles with pacing, casting, and overall show culture. That said, this season is already more watchable than the last. The addition of the first American in the UK villa adds a fun twist, and we break down who we're enjoying and who we'd gladly see dumped. New show structures are bringing some much-needed spice, but the toxic masculinity among the men remains a glaring issue.   Lastly, we check in on the latest relationship updates following Bravo's Love Hotel. We also hear from host Joel, who's already sharing casting ideas for next season.   Subscribe, rate, and review wherever you get your podcasts!   Follow us on Instagram: @canistealyouforaminutepod Follow us on TikTok: @canistealyouforaminute   Support the pod at patreon.com/canistealyouforaminute

We're deep into episodes 2 through 8 of Love Island USA Season 7, and this might be the worst group of guys the show could have cast. Nic kissing two women within an hour has sparked a lot of conversation, but we're not sure it's actually that serious. Belle-A has built a solid fan base, and her time on the show might not be over. This season is leaning heavily into purity culture, and the women are often being made to feel small. Ace started strong but is quickly losing favor. Amaya's bold personality is out of control, and Austin is tough to understand given the MAGA and racist behavior he exhibited on social media before the villa. Taylor and Olandria seem to be keeping each other around until something better comes along. The situation between Huda and Jeremiah is spiraling. Such a mess, and we're here to talk about it all!   Over on episode 7 of Bravo's Love Hotel, we're watching to see who might actually leave with a relationship and who's just there to hang out. Hear about what we think about the latest conflict between Shannon and Earl the Pearl.   Finally, some quick updates including news across Bachelor Nation, the Love Is Blind universe, and more. And rumors are already swirling about the next cast for The Traitors. We'll be keeping an eye on it all.   Subscribe, rate, and review wherever you get your podcasts!   Follow us on Instagram: @canistealyouforaminutepod Follow us on TikTok: @canistealyouforaminute   Support the pod at patreon.com/canistealyouforaminute

We're back in the villa for Love Island USA Season 7! Ariana has finally found her Love Island voice, and we are here for it. The cast? The verdict's still out. There are already whispers, and receipts, about known Trumpers among them, and this season seems like it's trying really hard to recreate the success of Season 6. Chelley and Ace seem destined to be together, but are we the only ones wondering if they hooked up before the show, or just met briefly? The girls calling each other best friends after literally four hours feels a little much, and the “traditional family values” vibes are giving gender-role-heavy throwbacks we didn't ask for. The cast skews very young, and everyone seems to be playing it way too safe in these early days. Also, the tongue. So much tongue. We'll be watching closely to see who actually makes it past the first coupling. Additionally, Mary shares some special news! Also, we talk about Iain Stirling stepping back from narrating Love Island UK, and the unfolding Temptation Island drama between Taylor and Ashley. We also give our thoughts on the two most recent episodes of Bravo's Love Hotel, which continues to delight and entertain us at every step!

We finished Cheat: Unfinished Business on Netflix and loved every bit of it. We're breaking down where all the couples ended up, what surprised us in the final episodes, and even sharing some more recent updates that have come out since the show aired.   Over on Bravo's Love Hotel, we have a new favorite couple and some thoughts (again) about casting. Specifically, who we wish Bravo had picked instead of Shannon Beador—because there were definitely better options.   Subscribe, rate, and review wherever you get your podcasts!   Follow us on Instagram: @canistealyouforaminutepod Follow us on TikTok: @canistealyouforaminute Support the pod at patreon.com/canistealyouforaminute

The Bachelor not being renewed on ABC is huge news, and we're diving into what that means for the future of the franchise. We also talk about the rumored cast for Bachelor in Paradise. Plus, what's going on with Jenn and Sasha? In Love Island UK news, we cover the latest wave of relationship breakups and surprise reunions.   We also started Cheat: Unfinished Business on Netflix—a dating show that's surprisingly refreshing. It's not trying to traumatize people for once! With real dating advice, useful couples therapy, and a format that actually feels thoughtful, we're breaking down each couple's journey and making our predictions for how it will all end.   Bravo's Love Hotel continues to charm us. Every week it gets better. It's the perfect mix of lighthearted fun with just enough romance and drama to keep things interesting.   And finally, we're looking ahead to our summer schedule, including the very exciting announcement of the official start date for Love Island USA!   Subscribe, rate, and review wherever you get your podcasts!   Follow us on Instagram: @canistealyouforaminutepod Follow us on TikTok: @canistealyouforaminute   Support the pod at patreon.com/canistealyouforaminute

In Bachelor Nation news, we're sharing our thoughts on the possibility of Rachel Recchia and Blake Moynes as a couple. Bachelor in Paradise filming has kicked off, and we're breaking down the rumored cast members hitting the beach, plus what we've heard about their new location in Costa Rica. Also: why Gabby Windey continues to be an icon, and why we're still not on board with Wells Adams. Battle Camp remains deeply flawed but undeniably fun to watch. We talk through its chances for another season, our ongoing horror at the intelligence levels on display, and why this show is basically Survivor lite. Meanwhile, Bravo's Love Hotel is pleasantly surprising us. The pacing feels good, the tone has levity, and these women are incredibly open about their lives—something that makes the show way more enjoyable than we expected. And while we can't watch Pop the Balloon anymore (the casting, the vibes, the energy… we're officially out), we share a little bit about the new Netflix dating show we're starting, and—as always—we go on a few tangents, this time about music festival culture.

We're diving into the latest reality TV chaos, starting with a news update—Tayshia Adams and Luke Gulbranson have officially broken up. Plus, Ariana Madix opens up about her future and how her views on marriage and kids are evolving post-Scandoval.   Then we head to Battle Camp on Netflix, which is giving us plenty to talk about. We share our favorite players, the ones driving us up the wall, and our take on whether the game is actually rigged. We also talk about the world's most embarrassing spelling bee, our thoughts on the host, and how Irina from Love Is Blind continues to show her truest colors (and it's not doing her any favors).   Over on Bravo's Love Hotel, we're asking the big questions—should they have cast a different housewife instead of Shannon? Will any real love stories come out of this? And the off-camera drama between the host and a housewife is giving us some behind-the-scenes tea. We also discuss how this show fits into Bravo's long history of documenting/exploiting substance abuse.   Pop the Balloon somehow keeps getting worse. The casting is surprisingly conservative, the format isn't delivering, and maybe we've decided that watching speed dating just isn't actually fun?   As always, we close with some Bravo tangents, especially Summer House updates, because how could we not?   Subscribe, rate, and review wherever you get your podcasts!   Follow us on Instagram: @canistealyouforaminutepod Follow us on TikTok: @canistealyouforaminute   Support the pod at patreon.com/canistealyouforaminute

We're back with a roundup of all the latest reality dating TV news, starting with the announcement of our new Golden Bachelor! We also discuss the sad news about former Golden Gerry's cancer diagnosis. Meanwhile, Bachelor in Paradise is shaking things up with a brand-new bartender and a fresh location—we've got all the details. Plus, Kelley Flanagan and Peter Weber were spotted together again, and Caila Quinn's husband is caught up in a cheating scandal that started on Reddit.     Over in the Love Is Blind universe, we've entered full Wife Swap territory with Ben and Monica now officially dating and we speculate on when we'll get the next season.   We also discuss the dating rumors between Love Undercover''s Lloyd Jones and Love Island UK''s Ella Thomas and catch up on where theLove Island All Stars couples have landed post-show. And we talk about the details of Whitney and Lochan's recent breakup. Finally in the Love Island universe, Love Island USA is expanding the franchise with Love Island: Beyond the Villa, and we're breaking down everything we know so far.     And finally, we share our initial thoughts on Netflix's newest dating experiment Pop the Balloon, which might just be the messiest show they've ever dropped.   Subscribe, rate, and review wherever you get your podcasts!   Follow us on Instagram: @canistealyouforaminutepod Follow us on TikTok: @canistealyouforaminute Support the pod at patreon.com/canistealyouforaminute

We're giving all of our hottest takes on the latest Bachelor Nation buzz, starting with Juliana outing both her and Grant's political leanings—and who else in the franchise seems to be on the same page. We break down Juliana finally watching the *Bachelor* finale and choosing to come for Litia instead of Grant (??), and share our thoughts on Kaitlyn Bristowe's recent comments about her breakup with Jason Tartick, plus the rumors swirling about who he's dating now.     We also get into Zac Clark's powerful work in addiction recovery, why we're rooting so hard for Katie Thurston as she navigates a stage 4 cancer diagnosis, Rachael Kirkconnell's surprising new friend group. Brendan and Serene's soft-launch into coupledom, and a quick update on Jenn Tran's life lately.   Plus, a few updates from the latest Temptation Island season, and as always, a grab bag of random topics: our feelings about Alex Cooper, whether people *actually* don't know who Monica Lewinsky is anymore, what's up with those Obama divorce rumors, and a passionate discussion about Asian noodle soups as a love language.   Subscribe, rate, and review wherever you get your podcasts!   Follow us on Instagram: @canistealyouforaminutepod Follow us on TikTok: @canistealyouforaminute   Support the pod at patreon.com/canistealyouforaminute

We somehow made it through this excessively long season of Temptation Island, and we're still struggling to decide which of these men is actually the worst. The complete lack of accountability from every single one was a lot, to say the least. We catch up on where the couples are now and discuss if  the show will come back for another season.     And while we wait for the new seasons of Love Island USA, Love Island UK, and Bachelor in Paradise, we've got our eyes on two new reality dating shows that we're definitely going to try.

We kick things off with The Bachelor finale, where Grant's indecisiveness and immaturity stood in stark contrast to Litia's incredible poise and maturity. Will Grant and Juliana actually make it, or are we already bracing for a breakup announcement?     Then, it's time for After the Final Rose.  We break down the audience reactions, the eyebrow-raising new Bachelor in Paradise twist, and our concerns about the Goldens on the beach (hot temps and creepy older men are a recipe for disaster). Plus, we're already in a fight with one Paradise cast member, and we discuss the best post-season glow-up. And of course, we make our picks for who we think should be the next Bachelorette.     Finally, we dive into Temptation Island, where it took the men approximately two seconds to become absolute trash and even less time to avoid accountability. Meanwhile, the women are dodging all physical connections in the villa, and we're left wondering — is this show really a reflection of modern dating in America? Because if so, we are seriously concerned.   Subscribe, rate, and review wherever you get your podcasts!   Follow us on Instagram: @canistealyouforaminutepod Follow us on TikTok: @canistealyouforaminute   Support the pod at patreon.com/canistealyouforaminute

The Bachelor fantasy suite dates are here, and we've got thoughts. Grant's endless platitudes and reluctance to go deeper made for a boring episode, but we can't stop wondering: did he sleep with anyone in the fantasy suites? Plus, he dropped the L-bomb and instantly regretted it, and poor Zoe got totally screwed with that silent yoga date. We also chat about what will ultimately get in the way of Grant and Litia's relationship, the glaring lack of real love connections, and whether Grant will actually end up with anyone. And now that we're almost at the finish line, how do we feel about Grant as The Bachelor this season? Spoiler: it's time to cast some actual adults on this show.     Next, we check in on Temptation Island — the show that's trying *really* hard to convince us it's serious while still being totally ridiculous. Somehow, Mark Wahlberg (no, not that one) shocked us all by offering genuinely solid advice to the contestants. We break down our predictions for which couples will survive and which are destined to crash and burn. Also, we can't unsee the fact that Tyler is giving us major Tom Sandoval 2.0 vibes.     Subscribe, rate, and review wherever you get your podcasts!   Follow us on Instagram: @canistealyouforaminutepod Follow us on TikTok: @canistealyouforaminute Support the pod at patreon.com/canistealyouforaminute

The Love Is Blind finale and reunion are here! We break down Nick and Vanessa finally stepping up as hosts, the heartbreaking breakdown of Joey and Monica's relationship, and the absolute chaos of Madison's armpit receipts. We talk about why Sara should have said no to Ben in the pods, especially after his nonstop flip-flopping on values. Plus, we unpack Daniel's bizarre tattoo of Taylor, Devin somehow being even more immature than we thought, and the show's silence on the serious allegations against Alex. And, of course, we can't ignore the Meg/Mason/Madison mess, our thoughts on AD and Ollie's engagement, and the excitement of next season happening on Indra's home turf. Then, we dive into The Bachelor: Women Tell All—starting with Grant's bizarre social media post choice that has us questioning everything. We get into Carolina's audacious display and lack of accountability, the women we liked most this season, and who we think is heading to Paradise (thankfully, the show is coming back!). Plus, Dina leaning into her lawyer role and keeping her family out of hometowns might have been the smartest move all season. Finally, we wrap up with The Traitors finale, reunion, and the 92nd Y live event—an incredibly satisfying end to the season. We cheer for Danielle's dramatic exit, swoon over Dylan, and sip on the behind-the-scenes tea Delores spilled about her feud with Danielle. Ivar exposed the actual production schedules, Gabby Windey cemented herself as a reality TV icon, and we get into Dylan's dreams for what's next. And don't worry—we've already got a list of upcoming shows we can't wait to cover!

We kick things off with Love Is Blind—the mind-boggling social media reactions to the season, especially around political issues, and how Midwest passive-aggressiveness is quietly ruining every relationship. We break down Lauren and Dave's trainwreck dynamic (why is she hanging on when he clearly never wanted to get married?), Sara trying to reconcile her values with Ben's megachurch, and Devin needing his mom's approval to sign a prenup. Plus, we're still confusing people because everyone looks the same, wondering what the couples even talked about in the pods, and side-eyeing the wildly unequal bachelor/bachelorette parties. As for the couples? Joey and Monica seem destined for friendship, while Daniel and Taylor are the only ones we actually believe in.   Then, we dive into The Bachelor—why is the hometown episode always so boring, and how did Zoe make it this far without a one-on-one? We get into Mary's predictions for the fantasy suites and finale, the shock of Juliana's dad being a softy instead of a mafia boss, and the lingering question of whether Grant and Litia's religious differences (and the looming fantasy suites) will be a dealbreaker. Despite the messy timeline, we break down why Grant is actually a great Bachelor and how the season's short runtime is doing him—and the viewers—a disservice.   Subscribe, rate, and review wherever you get your podcasts!   Follow us on Instagram: @canistealyouforaminutepod Follow us on TikTok: @canistealyouforaminute   Support the pod at patreon.com/canistealyouforaminute

We kick things off with Love Is Blind! We break down Virginia and Devin's connection (and those prenup/shoe budget issues), why the communal sock bin might actually destroy Monica and Joey, and how Joey ended up impressing us way more than expected. Plus, apologies to Daniel for thinking he was a creep, our deep hatred for Dave, and why we're all just waiting for Lauren to break up with him. We also dig into Ben's shady TikTok scandal and cross our fingers for a post-season couple swap.   Next, we dive into The Bachelor—how are we already at hometowns, and why does it feel like we barely know any of the women (and neither does Grant)? We unpack the shock of Dina and Zoe making it this far, Carolina's ongoing cringe-fest, and Litia's last-minute reveal about her religion. We'll miss Alexe so much, but we're already making predictions about the finale and speculating on the next Bachelorette (especially since ABC straight-up aired a casting call during the episode) and the next season of Bachelor in Paradise.   Finally, we wrap up with The Traitors—our ever-growing disdain for Danielle (and the recent dirt about her behavior in the house), the tweaks we'd make to improve the game, and who we're rooting for to win it all.   Subscribe, rate, and review wherever you get your podcasts!   Follow us on Instagram: @canistealyouforaminutepod Follow us on TikTok: @canistealyouforaminute   Support the pod at patreon.com/canistealyouforaminute

We start with Love Is Blind Season 8—why does the entire cast look the same, and why did we spend so much time in the pods with people who didn't even make it out together? Plus, we get into the tea about the guys' bad behavior outside of the pods, our thoughts on the surprisingly big music budget, and our predictions for who will actually make it down the aisle.     Then, we move on to The Bachelor, aka *The Carolina Show*. We break down Juliana's slight exaggerations, our surprising defense of Carolina (even though we're currently in the middle of an online fight with her), and why the season feels like it's moving way too fast. Also, how did Dina and Grant end up having such a strong connection, and if *The Bachelorette* was happening, who would have gotten the lead?     Over on Love Island All Stars, we discuss why we're disappointed with the winners and spill some behind-the-scenes tea from both the season and its aftermath.     Finally, we wrap up with a quick recap of our current thoughts on this season of The Traitors!

We start with the latest from Grant's Bachelor season—will he and Litia be able to work past their religious differences, and who do we think will be his final two? We also break down Zoe's complete lack of a sense of humor, Carolina's brat behavior, and whether Grant secretly told Rose he was thinking about her during that dance with Carolina. Plus, we finally get some answers about Beverly's sudden exit from the mansion, and we are so excited that Golden Gary's back! Then, we dive into the latest from Love Island All Stars—Curtis continues to be the absolute worst, but which couples actually like each other, and who's just faking it for the cameras? We also debate whether Samie is a better match for Luca than Grace and if there's more in Omar's kisses with Tina than he's letting on. Finally, we wrap up with some major reality tv dating show gossip, including the latest rumors about The Bachelorette's future, tea from Serena and Kordell's recent press blitz, and why the men of Bachelor Nation are catching heat for their Super Bowl halftime show takes.   Subscribe, rate, and review wherever you get your podcasts!   Follow us on Instagram: @canistealyouforaminutepod Follow us on TikTok: @canistealyouforaminute Support the pod at patreon.com/canistealyouforaminute

We continue our discussion of the Bachelor Nation Matt/Rachael breakup with a breakdown of the Call Her Daddy interview with Rachael. Then, we talk through the second episode of Grant's Bachelor season, including why we're a little weirded out by Grant now, cast celebrity dopplegangers, and the women who are standing out this season for both good and bad reasons. Then, we chat about the latest batch of Love Island All Stars episodes, including all the shady men, all the clueless women, who we think will win, and the islanders we're loving the most. We wrap up with a recap of the latest Traitors episode and why Boston Rob might be the bad guy/enemy of the season, but we all want him to win anyway.   Subscribe, rate, and review wherever you get your podcasts!   Follow us on Instagram: @canistealyouforaminutepod Follow us on TikTok: @canistealyouforaminute Support the pod at patreon.com/canistealyouforaminute

Grant's season has begun, and we are loving everything about it so far. We talk about how we forgot how hot Grant is, a delightfully drama-free cast of women (at least so far), the women we think will go far, and even an early Bachelorette prediction! We also discuss the latest episodes from Love Island All Stars, including our thoughts on all the latest couplings, frustrating racial dynamics on Love Island UK as a whole, and the Ronnie/Harriet drama we could do without. Finally, we discuss the latest episode of The Traitor and why we can't wait for Danielle to get caught as a traitor and Carolyn to possibly take it all.

We finish up our first impressions of Bachelor Grant's women in anticipation of the season premiere of The Bachelor on Monday! We also discuss the start of the new season of Love Island All Stars and our initial thoughts on all the couples – who will go the distance? And why do any of these women find Ronnie attractive?!! Finally, we discuss the latest episode of The Traitors, including whether Boston Rob's big swing will pay off or not, Gabby as the star (and potentially the smartest person?) of the show, and who we think the producers should choose for their next traitor. We also discuss recent reality dating breakups and new couples, including Matt James and Rachael Kirkconnell's shocking split, Love is Blind's Tyler and Ashley's divorce announcement, and Sandra and CK from the Golden Bachelor/Bachelorette finding love with each other! Bonus discussions about Scrub Daddy swimwear, the Kardashian's entering their flop era, and why we hate Mark Zuckerberg included.   Follow along with the Bachelor contestant bios here: https://abc.com/show/294366f4-0130-4c40-97b2-387c154e7eff/cast   Subscribe, rate, and review wherever you get your podcasts!   Follow us on Instagram: @canistealyouforaminutepod Follow us on TikTok: @canistealyouforaminute   Support the pod at patreon.com/canistealyouforaminute

This week, we walk through the first half of the women on Bachelor Grant's cast! We talk through their likes, dislikes, and an oddly large number of mentions of the Jonas Brothers and interest in shopping. We also talk through the first few episodes of the current season of The Traitors, including our first impressions of all the players, who we love, who we love to hate, and who we're watching closely as the game gets good!   Follow along with the Bachelor contestant bios here: https://abc.com/show/294366f4-0130-4c40-97b2-387c154e7eff/cast   Subscribe, rate, and review wherever you get your podcasts!   Follow us on Instagram: @canistealyouforaminutepod Follow us on TikTok: @canistealyouforaminute Support the pod at patreon.com/canistealyouforaminute

We're starting off the New Year with our final recaps of Love Island AU Season 6 and The Ultimatum Season 3, which both ended at the close of 2024. On Love Island AU, we talk about where all the couples ended up and where they are now (spoiler: almost no one made it even a day outside of the villa), and what contestants are saying about each other and what really went on in the villa now that the season is over. We also discuss the finale and reunion of The Ultimatum Season 3, including our final impressions of all the cast members and the final couples, and where everyone is now post show and reunion.    Subscribe, rate, and review wherever you get your podcasts!   Follow us on Instagram: @canistealyouforaminutepod Follow us on TikTok: @canistealyouforaminute   Support the pod at patreon.com/canistealyouforaminute

We're knee deep in this season of The Ultimatum and it's time to unpack our thoughts! We talk through all the drama this season with the couples, including the shocking exit of two entire couples, Scotty's overall bad behavior, JR's simple needs in a relationship and who can give it to him, Sandy's best option for a partner, Nick's terrible art, and Caleb and Aria's beautiful trial marriage. We give our predictions for the end of the season, and what we know about where the cast is now from social media and more!   We also discuss the latest episodes of Love Island AU, including the aftermath of movie night, the audition tape video reveal, and Hannah jumping at the chance to tell the whole villa that she looks like Margot Robbie. We also talk about how the season reveals the excessive patriarchy (and prudiness!) down under, why this season has fallen short on real love stories, and (spoiler alert!) the gossip about the cast from after the season.   Subscribe, rate, and review wherever you get your podcasts!   Follow us on Instagram: @canistealyouforaminutepod Follow us on TikTok: @canistealyouforaminute   Support the pod at patreon.com/canistealyouforaminute

This week, we're talking about all the drama on Love Island AU, including Hannah's bizarre return (complete with a speech written by ChatGPT), our ongoing hatred of Taylor and just about everything he does, the drama between the girls, our new bombshells, and all the tidbits we can't wait to get revealed during movie night! We also check in on Xanthe and Taylor sightings outside of the Villa, and why we're totally not on the same page with TikTok's opinion of this cast.   We also dive into the latest season of The Ultimatum on Netflix, and we have a lot to say. Why are Nick and Vanessa the experts of giving an ultimatum, but didn't have to experience anything these couples have to experience?! Why are we watching “get ready with me” videos of JR every episode? Why are people giving ultimatums when they've only been together for 2 years?

It's almost Thanksgiving and this week, we are thankful for the delightful vibes on Love Island AU. We talk about all the current couples, the brewing love triangles (and squares), the unbelievably horrible men, the women who are too good for them, and our predictions for how things will transpire in the coming episodes. We also talk about some other pop culture chatter, including the new HBO documentary Breath of Fire, this week's DWTS finale, Jenn & Sasha's potential love connection, and the upcoming season of The Traitors.

We also discuss wider conversations in Bachelor Nation, including what people did (or didn't) have to say post-election. Then, we dig into the new season of Love Island AU!

Though this wasn't the most riveting week of reality dating tv, we're here to recap Joan's hometown dates and the finale of Love is Blind DC. We discuss all of Joan's hometown dates, including tangents about veneers and keratin hair treatments, because there's almost nothing else to talk about?  We also discuss the incredibly cringey Love is Blind finale, including the real backstory with Tyler and his kids, what we really think Ramses was doing when he broke up with Marissa, the most unfair Bachelorette party of all time, and our sincere love of Garrett and Taylor's union! We finish with a political rant spurred by Madi Prew's recent (and extremely annoying) social media posts, and a plea to get your vote in early!

This week, we catch up on the latest episode of the Golden Bachelorette, which has basically cemented Mark's position as the next Golden Bachelor? While we're sad to see him leave, we hope he'll be back for more in future seasons of the show. We also discuss Chock's undeniable connection with Joan, our surprise at the men who get sent home this week, and those who make it through to hometowns.   Then, we chat Love is Blind DC, and how we think basically every couple needs to break up except for Garrett and Taylor. We discuss Ramses' self-image of being a good guy, when he's actually just an asshole, our surprise at Tim's reaction to Alex after meeting his parents, our take on the end of Hannah and Nick's relationship, and Tyler and Ashley's increasingly disastrous situation.    We also chat about the recent arrest details for Hannah from Love Island USA.   Subscribe, rate, and review wherever you get your podcasts!   Follow us on Instagram: @canistealyouforaminutepod Follow us on TikTok: @canistealyouforaminute Support the pod at patreon.com/canistealyouforaminute

It's a sad day on the pod, as we say goodbye to two Bachelor Nation greats this episode: Gary and Charles L. And while we love them and so many men on this cast, we also have to talk about the recent scandal surrounding Guy and the protective order brought against him by his ex-wife. We also offer our thoughts on Jordan, Mark's close-talking habit, and who we think is poised to win it all.   Then, it's time to talk about Love is Blind DC, which is finally starting to get interesting. Are Garrett and Taylor the most perfect couple we've ever seen on this show? What is actually going on with Ramses, and is he as liberal as he thinks he is? Why are Alex and Tim still together (and also why is Alex's dad so wonderful)? Will Ashley work past Tyler's lies? How has Nick not learned how to boil water in 28 years on this planet? Is anyone actually surprised at Steven's gross behavior? We answer all these questions and more!   Subscribe, rate, and review wherever you get your podcasts!   Follow us on Instagram: @canistealyouforaminutepod Follow us on TikTok: @canistealyouforaminute Support the pod at patreon.com/canistealyouforaminute

It's official: this season of Love Is Blind should be called “The season of the The Ick.” In this episode, we dive deep into episodes 3 through 6 as the couples finally exit the pods and head to the retreats in Mexico. First, we break down what was (and wasn't) discussed in the pods and the obsession with physical appearance that some couples can't seem to shake. We reveal some shocking new details about Tyler's personal life (major red flags), Hannah and Nick's fraught connection, what really happened between Alex and Tim, and Leo's epic meltdown and bizarre engagement to Brittany.   Subscribe, rate, and review wherever you get your podcasts!   Follow us on Instagram: @canistealyouforaminutepod Follow us on TikTok: @canistealyouforaminute Support the pod at patreon.com/canistealyouforaminute

In this week's episode, we break down the latest drama from Joan's Golden Bachelorette season, starting with questioning whether kickball is secretly worse than baseball for elderly men. Then, we dive into Joan's heartfelt speech to the men and what was really behind it, plus Wayne Newton's unexpected/shocking cameo. Of course, Charles L remains our all-time favorite, while we're on edge waiting for Chock's possible exit.    We also discuss the first two episodes of Love is Blind S7 in Washington DC. While the cast isn't grabbing us yet, we've still developed some strong (negative) feelings for a few cast members (ahem, Leo). We also discuss the bizarre fixation on physical attributes throughout various couples in the pods, and why we think this season's casting didn't quite get it right.   We wrap up with a look at some of the other Fall TV shows we're loving right now and Indra's dreams of entering an amateur baking show competition.    Subscribe, rate, and review wherever you get your podcasts!   Follow us on Instagram: @canistealyouforaminutepod Follow us on TikTok: @canistealyouforaminute Support the pod at patreon.com/canistealyouforaminute

We're full steam ahead with Joan's season of The Golden Bachelorette, and loving every minute of it. First up, we celebrate Charles L, who continues to prove why he's an icon of the season. Then we dive into the action: Mark is quietly turning up the heat, while Dan delivers a strong performance that's hard to ignore. We also ask the question on everyone's mind — why is Gil still here? And take some time to give a shoutout to the girl dads for melting our hearts once again, and, of course, to Bob for keeping it classy. We also take a trip down memory lane with some high school prom stories (and how Jonathan's really pulled at our little heart strings) and talk about Joan and Chock's noticeable comfort with each other at a Disney theme park.   Subscribe, rate, and review wherever you get your podcasts!   Follow us on Instagram: @canistealyouforaminutepod Follow us on TikTok: @canistealyouforaminute Support the pod at patreon.com/canistealyouforaminute
