We're back after a busy couple of months in our personal lives. So naturally, we went off topic as it felt like we had to catch up our lives. After that weird conversation (our apologies) we get back into the world of Reality TV.

There comes a point when you learn when to speak and when not to speak. Shake is not at that point yet and we don't think he'll ever get there.

And did any new sparks emerge? From there, we move on to Maui as the rebooted Temptation Island returns for a 4th season.  We breakdown the couples that are testing their relationships and the singles that head to the villas looking for love.

The experiment in the pods has returned!

We gotta say... "My Mom, Your Dad" really impressed. We're sharing our thoughts on the final four episodes of the 1st season and try to look for any clues online to see if any of the couples are still together. And while the show is great, with the secret out, will ITV and HBO Max be able to find a good cast to replicate its success? We also discuss some tweaks we would make to the show format to help it with potential future seasons. And which cast member is a great candidate for "The Bachelor"?

Yeah, we know. It's been a while. December was quite the busy month for us between the holidays, quarantining, and trips out of town... including a surprise trip to Disneyland. We spend some time later in this episode talking about what we have been doing for the last month and a half. We start this episode by discussing the finale and reunion of The Challenge: Spies, Lies, and Allies as CT and Kaycee claimed the championship. Can a healthy and mature CT even be stopped? And how much did the double quarantine impact how the season played out? We also talk about the recently wrapped up season of Marriage Boot Camp: Hip Hop Edition which featured a series first when it came to lie detectors. And what surprised us (and Dr. Ish) when the couples had to make their final decisions. Plus, HBO Max debuts a new reality show called My Mom Your Dad, and a new season of Marriage Boot Camp is set to start in March.

There is so much reality TV to cover as 2021 hits the home stretch. For us, it's been quite a busy month. So we spend this episode talking about the last few episodes of The Challenge: Spies, Lies, and Allies, and discuss all the recent controversy surrounding the show... from Ashley's mysterious exit (and why MTV is covering up) to Leroy's instagram live. But even more drama hits the Marriage Boot Camp: Hip Hop Edition house as the couples take on communication, sex, and respect. However, one "couple" doesn't even make it. Plus, we react to the trailer for Roaring Twenties on Netflix (which follows a very familiar concept) and lay out our plan to watch and discuss 12 Dates of Christmas in the coming weeks.

All these years later, The Challenge has hit the 500 episode mark. We share our favorite moments from the previous seasons before discussing the latest on The Challenge: Spies, Lies, and Allies. The teams have shuffled, but Emerald stays in tact... for now. And will Amanda sabotage Ruby after she was forced there following Emy's decision to infiltrate Sapphire? Just when you think things are going well on Marriage Boot Camp: Hip Hop Edition, here comes the Jealousy episode. Did the "practice" sessions go too far? What are the worst things you could call a woman? And who do you hate the most on the show... and why is it Mally Mall?

There were some questionable decisions on The Challenge: Spies, Lies, and... Mucus Plugs? We try to figure out why Ed felt Kyle was the best option for pole wrestle. But did Kyle miss a golden opportunity by not joining the Emerald team? We break it all down. The four couples of Marriage Boot Camp: Hip Hop Edition get right into some of their major issues on Days 2 and 3 in the boot camp house. Most of them come to light early on, but how will a side homophobic comment by Mally Mall affect the remaining days of camp? Plus, we discuss watching sports with Spanish commentary, the difficulties of being LGBTQ+ in the hip hop community, and a second season of 12 Dates of Christmas may be closer than you think.   Subscribe wherever you get your podcasts and feel free to leave us a review!

Just when we thought The Challenge: Spies, Lies, and Allies couldn't get any more twisted, TJ completely changes the format. We discuss what we think of the new setup, the strategy that needs to go into deliberation, and which previous Challenge season compares best to the new setup. The new season of Marriage Boot Camp: Hip Hop Edition has begun. But before the four couples can even get into the house, they have to spend two weeks in a hotel room together before they can even meet Dr. Ish and Judge Toler. We share our first impressions of the four couples and predict which relationship will survive the camp.

The latest episode of The Challenge: Spies, Lies, and Allies was only an hour long, but did it ever leave us wanting more. There was a very nice date, a surprise musical performance, and a long overdue argument that may have some major consequences. Will anyone be sent home as a result? We also discuss thru episode 8 of the 3rd season of The Circle. We share our first impressions of the new cast members, the alliances that have been formed, and why this season has just seemed to drag along. Netflix left us with a cliffhanger after the 8th episode, but did they spoil who got eliminated in the trailer for the next 4 episodes? Plus, a Challenge cast member and a Challenge alum are set to go head-to-head in a boxing ring.

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. We also go in depth on the next four episodes of The Circle. Did "Emily" and "Lance" deserve a 2nd chance in this game? We also make our predictions before the winner is revealed next week. And finally, Temptation Island finished their 3rd season with cheers, a confusing bonfire, and a romantic engagement. We talk all about the drama of the Final Bonfires, the Reunion, and how much we enjoyed Kendal getting embarrassed on national TV.

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.
