In this episode, we've got the amazing Haley Fitzgerald, a triple threat—choreographer, comedian, and actress—joining Lo for a hilarious deep dive into the reality TV that has shaped our society. They reminisce over the golden era of reality TV, that glorious time when everything was a little bit trashier, a lot more dramatic, and shockingly captivating. From the cultural phenomenon that was The Swan to the chaotic rollercoaster that was The NEXT Bus on MTV (remember that mess?), the early 2000s were a masterclass in unfiltered madness. These were the shows that shaped Lo and Haley into who they are today—unhinged, unapologetic and authentic.  Lo and Haley also break down the latest season of Love is Blind on Netflix and hold nothing back per usual. They share their honest, unfiltered thoughts on the couples—some they're rooting for, some... not so much. Who's got potential, who's clearly on a fast track to breakup-ville, and who's just plain triggering the hell out of them? They've got opinions and they're spilling them all with you today. Expect a highly entertaining ride from dating red flags to douchebags, with a side of nostalgia and a whole lot of laughs. Whether you've watched Love is Blind or not, this episode is a must-listen. Trust us, it's like the unfiltered reality TV recap we didn't know we needed—and Lo and Haley are absolutely killing it. Stay Connected to The Lo Life!
