This week we forgo our candy review to share our Traitors dream castings. Then from banishing Boston Rob to women arguing in Madrid, we had a lot to chat about this week! We get caught up on all things Traitors, and discuss if we think Danielle was smart to get rid of Carolyn. Then we find ourselves in the Carolina drama with the rest of the women of Grant’s season. How much longer can Carolina’s tears pull Grant’s attention? #popculturepodcast #womenwhopodcast #traitors #traitorsnbc #peacocktv #recap #bachelor #thebachelor #bachelornation #willyouaccepthisrose #bachelorabc #thebachelorpodcast #bachelorrecap #traitorsdreamcast…
We are still getting the hang of remote recording, so we apologize for the sound quality! We will get it right soon. Join us to discuss all of the strategy and slip-ups we have witnessed on the Traitors. It seems like both Faithfuls and Traitors are trying to get rid of Traitors these days. Meanwhile, love is in the air as our Bachelor, Grant starts his season! #popculturepodcast #womenwhopodcast #traitors #traitorsnbc #peacocktv #recap #bachelor #thebachelor #bachelornation #willyouaccepthisrose #bachelorabc #thebachelorpodcast #bachelorrecap…
We know it’s been too long! We’ve missed talking about television for anyone who cares to listen. We share a bit about why we’ve been away, and then dive into the deceit waiting for us in Traitors season 3. What a loaded cast! We are here for the drama, fashion, and murder. #popculturepodcast #womenwhopodcast #traitors #traitorsnbc #peacocktv #recap…
Well this finale was a huge disappointment. Production really didn’t protect Jenn, and the whole thing was hard to watch. We get into the Marcus of it all and are relieved that Jenn knew he couldn’t meet her where she deserves to be met. And then on to Devin... and Devin’s Instagram moment post AFR. After that we briefly discuss some shows we are excited about, and announce we are taking a short break due to the demands of life. Please remember to engage with us on Instagram through our break, we appreciate all of you! #popculturepodcast #womenwhopodcast #bachelor #thebachelor #bachelorabc #thebachelorpodcast #bachelorrecap #bachelorette #thebachelorette #bachelornation #willyouaccepthisrose #bacheloretteabc #thebachelorettepodcast #bacheloretterecap #vpr #vprrecap #rachelgoesrogue #rachelleviss #scandoval #vanderpumprules #tomsandoval #tomtom #bravo #bravopodcas #loveislandusa #loveisland #loveislandrecap #loveislandpodcast #thevalle #bravo #bravopodcast…
This week we start with a very fun candy review courtesy of our friend Julia, then dive straight into hometowns! We thought we knew who was going to be the last man standing until the overnights left us with our heads spinning. We recenter ourselves on the Love Island reunion that probably didn't need to happen. There were so many things we wanted to be discussed, leaving us walking away from the show liking the cast less than before. #popculturepodcast #womenwhopodcast #bachelorette #thebachelorette #bachelornation #willyouaccepthisrose #bacheloretteabc #thebachelorettepodcast #bacheloretterecap #thevalley #bravo #bravopodcast…
Life be lifin’ over here, making this is a shorter messier episode… BUT WE GOT YOU. Our eyes are buggin’ out of our noggins with Sam M’s word salads. We also discuss Jenn’s top four, and how surprised we are to see who is going on to introduce Jenn to their families. P.S. we are THRILLED about Grant being the next bachelor! #bachelornation #bachelorabc #bachelorette #jenntran #bachelorpodcast #bachelorrecap #popculturepodcast #womenwhopodcast #bachelor #thebachelor #willyouaccepthisrose #thebachelorpodcast #bravo #bravopodcast…
Well we wrap up this delightful Love Island season by covering our first Love Island finale! We also discuss some of our favorite things about this season, and speculate which couples will make it in the real world. Then we’re off with Jenn and her men! These boys are really distracted by the drama this season, and we are not here for it. But Jenn seems like she is totally capable to navigate their bullshit. We also address where we stand with Sam M. vs Devin! #popculturepodcast #womenwhopodcast #bachelor #thebachelor #bachelornation #willyouaccepthisrose #bachelorabc #thebachelorpodcast #bachelorrecap #bravo #bravopodcast #bachelorette #jenntran #bachelorpodcast #bachelorrecap #loveislandusa #loveisland #loveislandrecap #loveislandpodcast…
There is simply TOO MUCH to talk about when it comes to Love Island USA. We go back and discuss the men coming back from Casa and of course spend some time on Movie Night. Aside from losing all respect for Aaron, we have really grown to love this group of islanders. Now that we have our final four couples, we discuss who we want to win! Then we jump right into Jenn’s premiere and how we are feeling about the start of her season. These men are leaving us wanting, but we are really loving Jenn’s energy and the way she is navigating the bullshit. We get into our final four guesses and really have no idea how this season will play out! #popculturepodcast #womenwhopodcast #bachelor #thebachelor #bachelornation #willyouaccepthisrose #bachelorabc #thebachelorpodcast #bachelorrecap #bravo #thevalley #bravopodcast #bachelorette #jenntran #bachelorpodcast #bachelorrecap #loveislandusa #loveisland #loveislandrecap #loveislandpodcast…
Love Island USA is blowing our minds this season, and WE ARE HERE FOR IT. We cover some fun questions have have us discussing the wildest challenges, couples that will go the distance, sexiest moments, and all the other things we can’t not talk about! Somehow we go from rooting for some solid couples to watching them crumble amidst the Casa Amore of it all. *eye roll* Then we dive into our favorite way to start a Bachelorette season, and figure out which of Jenn’s men are most likely to… kiss her first, have the best fashion, have no personality, and more! #bachelornation #bachelorabc #bachelorette #jenntran #bachelorpodcast #bachelorrecap #loveislandusa #loveisland #loveislandrecap #loveislandpodcast…
We have committed to covering the new season of Love Island USA, and we are excited to navigate this messy villa with y’all. We discuss our favorite islanders, most cringey moments, and question if any of these couples will actually make it. Then we wrap up The Valley by recapping the last two episodes. Queen Janet manages to burn multiple bridges, but the flames have officially gone out in both Jax and Jesse’s marriages. We are looking forward to Jen’s season of The Bachelorette! #popculturepodcast #womenwhopodcast #loveislandusa #loveislandusarecap #bachelor #thebachelor #bachelornation #willyouaccepthisrose #bachelorabc #thebachelorpodcast #bachelorrecap #bravo #thevalley #jaxtaylor #bravopodcast #peacock…
We open up with some Tom Sandoval and Billie Lee Tea then move onto our final thoughts on season 11 of VPR before diving into a very dark Part Three of the Reunion. We share some thoughts about what we personally think authenticity is versus selling your soul to be on TV. We move onto talking about some of the standout scenes from The Valley episodes 9 and 10. Spoiler: Jax continues to be the worst, Jesse didn't kill his ego with drugs, and we are here for the Janet and Zach beef. Overall, The Valley is winning us over and we are looking forward to breaking down the last two episodes in the coming weeks. #popculturepodcast #womenwhopodcast #vpr #vprrecap #rachelgoesrogue #rachelleviss #scandoval #vanderpumprules #tomsandoval #tomtom #bachelor #thebachelor #bachelornation #willyouaccepthisrose #bachelorabc #thebachelorpodcast #bachelorrecap #bravo #thevalley #bravopodcast…
We sit down and finally bring you a review of the five interesting pop-tarts that we know you all have been waiting for! Then we dive into some VPR updates including our night out seeing DJ James Kennedy, Something About Her finally opening, and news on Rachel’s lawsuit against Tom and Ariana. Then we take a deep breath and dive into the first two segments of the VPR reunion. We start with Rachel’s name in everyone’s mouth, cringe as Lala goes after Katie for her lack of authenticity, not surprisingly end with Joe in tears, and go over all of the cream-filling bits in between! #popculturepodcast #womenwhopodcast #vpr #vprrecap #rachelgoesrogue #rachelleviss #scandoval #vanderpumprules #tomsandoval #tomtom #bachelor #thebachelor #bachelornation #willyouaccepthisrose #bachelorabc #thebachelorpodcast #bachelorrecap #bravo #thevalley #bravopodcast…
We are back to celebrate our 51st episode and break down episode 14 and then THE FINALE of season 11 of Vanderpump Rules. And holy shit, is there a lot to talk about. We follow the cast (and Dan!) to San Francisco where we find more of the same themes we have watched throughout this strange season. We change locations, but the majority of the group’s attitude has not changed when it comes to their expectations of Ariana and her attitude towards Sandoval. Kyle Chan’s whiskey party starts as “Good as Gold”, but crumbles after Sandoval attempts to “apologize” to Ariana. She truly is the final boss in his redemption tour, and thank god she’s indestructible. #popculturepodcast #womenwhopodcast #vpr #vprrecap #rachelgoesrogue #rachelleviss #scandoval #vanderpumprules #tomsandoval #tomtom #bachelor #thebachelor #bachelornation #willyouaccepthisrose #bachelorabc #thebachelorpodcast #bachelorrecap #bravo #thevalley #bravopodcast…
We are still podcasting, just on a different timeline, thank you for hanging with us! We are excited to see James really bringing not only number one Guy energy, but a lot of maturity everyone else is missing, Tom manages to surprise us still by being the worst and The Valley is becoming a little too hard to watch; we talk about their attitudes towards sex and what it means to be a empath (spoiler: Kristin is not one). #popculturepodcast #womenwhopodcast #vpr #rachelgoesrogue #rachelleviss #scandoval #vanderpumprules #tomsandoval #tomtom #bachelor #thebachelor #bachelornation #willyouaccepthisrose #bachelorabc #bravo #vprrecap #bachelorrecap #thevalley #bravopodcast #thebachelorpodcast…
We missed you! And we are back to dive into some rough waters of the last couple episodes of VPR and The Valley. We revisit episode 10 where Ariana shows her true feelings at a water tasting and then at Scheana’s beach outing. Then we get into Schwartz and Katie both being into Tori, meanwhile Joe is wondering WTF is up with Schwartz’s green bracelet decision. Meanwhile on The Valley, everyone is coming at Kristen for something everyone seemed to be involved in. We are still getting the hang of this crew, but thus far love Luke! #popculturepodcast #womenwhopodcast #vpr #rachelgoesrogue #rachelleviss #scandoval #vanderpumprules #tomsandoval #tomtom #bachelor #thebachelor #bachelornation #willyouaccepthisrose #bachelorabc #bravo #vprrecap #bachelorrecap #thevalley #bravopodcast #thebachelorpodcast…
Well, first off we recap last weeks episode that was lost, and something finally happened on Vanderpump Rules! We breakdown this packed episode that had everything from long-time secrets, to awkward legal conversations, to confusing friendship efforts, to what could be viewed as a “revenge bang”. We then share with you our first impressions of the first couple episodes of “The Valley”. Finally, it’s Joey’s finale, and it did not disappoint. Daisy navigates the finale week with so much strength and love. We have loved this season, and are sad to see it end! #popculturepodcast #womenwhopodcast #thevalley #vpr #rachelgoesrogue #rachelleviss #scandoval #vanderpumprules #tomsandoval #tomtom #vprrecap #bachelor #thebachelor #bachelornation #joeygraziadei #willyouaccepthisrose #bachelorabc #bravo #bachelorrecap…
Our eyes might be stuck in a permanent eye roll after watching another week of Scheana’s efforts to make Ariana and Tom’s breakup about her. She’s really milking this grieving process. Lisa and production continue to champion Tom’s redemption arc, so we pour ourselves another glass to help us get through the bullshit. Meanwhile Joey is with the final three women in Mexico for “fantasy suites”. After he tells two of the women that he’s falling in love with them, we really question how this will all play out. Hearts will be broken. #popculturepodcast #womenwhopodcast #vpr #rachelgoesrogue #rachelleviss #scandoval #vanderpumprules #tomsandoval #tomtom #bachelor #thebachelor #bachelornation #joeygraziadei #willyouaccepthisrose #bachelorabc #bravo #vprrecap #bachelorrecap…
This week on Drama Bonded, we review some Easter candy and discuss aging and social media. Then Lake Tahoe gets more complicated with weird meditation moments and hard conversations. All the while Katie and Ariana are being their best selves, making money moves in Weho. We question why production is trying so hard to redeem Sandoval and make Ariana the villain in their story. Meanwhile in Bachelor world, we accompany Joey to meet the top four women’s families. Protective parents ask all the hard questions, but Joey navigates all of it with his emotional intelligence and suave curls.…
We were hoping for fun in the sun in Lake Tahoe, but storm Sandoval has dampened another episode of Vanderpump Rules. We also discuss some of Rachel’s insights concerning the things being said about her this season. Then we are off to Jasper, Canada where we find 6 women hoping for a hometown rose. Some women are ready and eager, while others express some unexpected hesitation. Joey struggles to juggle hearts and doubts, but ends with a surprising final four. We have no idea where the season goes from here! #popculturepodcast #womenwhopodcast #vpr #rachelgoesrogue #rachelleviss #scandoval #vanderpumprules #tomsandoval #tomtom #bachelor #thebachelor #bachelornation #joeygraziadei #willyouaccepthisrose #bachelorabc #bravo #vprrecap #bachelorrecap…
We start out addressing the infamous quote from Tom Sandoval’s profile piece in The NY Times. How does this all keep getting worse? That leads us into another heavy episode of Vanderpump Rules, where we talk through some hard-to-discuss mental health topics and then embrace the brief levity of James’s pricey pool party. The Bachelor also felt heavier this week! We see Joey struggling to navigate all of his own insecurities while simultaneously trying to grow connections with the remaining women. Emotions are running high in Canada, eh? #popculturepodcast #womenwhopodcast #vpr #rachelgoesrogue #rachelleviss #scandoval #vanderpumprules #tomsandoval #tomtom #bachelor #thebachelor #bachelornation #joeygraziadei #willyouaccepthisrose #bachelorabc #bravo #vprrecap #bachelorrecap…
Holy moly there was a lot to talk about this week. Scheana is reinventing her music career while Schwartz tries to get “the band” back together. With Lisa giving Tom hard advice and everyone gathering at SUR for “See You Next Tuesday”, it’s easy to forget what season we’re watching. Meanwhile in Bachelor land, we had 2 episodes to cover! Joey and the women are tripping into love all over Malta and Spain. We endured the dreaded two-on-one, wet sausages, abstract paintings, questionable flamenco fashion, and are looking forward to more travel and stronger connections. #popculturepodcast #womenwhopodcast #vpr #rachelgoesrogue #rachelleviss #scandoval #vanderpumprules #tomsandoval #tomtom #bachelor #thebachelor #bachelornation #joeygraziadei #willyouaccepthisrose #bachelorabc #bravo #vprrecap #bachelorrecap…
In our free-flow episode, we get into episode 2 of Vanderpump Rules and question things like: How could James be a voice or reason? Why is Lala not supporting Ariana’s boundaries? How does Ann do this crappy job? And other important topics. Meanwhile in Bachelor world, Sydney has transitioned into full-blast-mean-girl bully mode and is targeting Maria. We are already dreading the inevitable 2:1, and just want more costumes and tennis dates.

Well Vanderpump Rules is back, and we are here to talk about it! We start off discussing the premier, and then move into more Vanderpump tea with our thoughts on additional content from “Rachel Goes Rogue” and seeing the Toms interviewed on “The Viall Files”. We then transition into a brighter shinier Bachelor world, where energy is high and everyone is ready to fall in love. From wedding dress dives to capturing Joey’s heart, we both agree that so far this Bachelor season is feeling fresh. #vpr #rachelgoesrogue #rachelleviss #scandoval #vanderpumprules #tomsandoval #tomtom #bachelor #thebachelor #bachelornation #joeygraziadei #willyouaccepthisrose…
Despite what we said last week, we had to discuss more of “Rachel Goes Rogue”. We bring some different takes to the table, and then chat about what we are hoping to see on the upcoming season of Vanderpump Rules. Then we are off to Joey and gab all things Bachelor premiere! Limo entrances, bad bananas, side-eyeing sisters, lots of kissing, producer roses, and more.

Rachel Leviss released the first episode to her new podcast “Rachel Goes Rogue” where she intends to finally tell her side of the Scandoval story. Well we listened… and are here to raise our eyebrows and share our thoughts. Then to prep for Joey’s season of The Bachelor, we compare notes on the new women and discuss which of the women is most likely to kiss Joey first, have the best fashion, have no personality… and much more!

We both share fitness as a passion and hobby, and thought the beginning of a new year would be a great time to chat about setting fitness goals and what realizing these goals looks like. We pull from our own experiences as athletes and coaches, and talk about timeline expectations, easy misconceptions, and personal lessons we have had to learn the hard way.

We told you we would talk Golden Bachelor, and we didn’t forget! We cover what we loved, what made us cry, and what maybe wasn’t so “golden” after all. We muse about what made this new Bachelor show so special, and wonder if it airing with Paradise gave the mess on the beach a bad look. Then we dive into the dirt of the couples remaining in Mexico. People are dropping like flies after hard truths and broken hearts. The remaining two couples take us to the fantasy suites and then on to predictable engagements… but maybe their ending isn’t so “happy” after all. Naturally we have to spill the tea on how these couples are doing now. We wrap it all up discussing what we will be covering on the pod next! We are SO PUMPED.

This week we are thrilled to wrap up our Great British Baking Show coverage with the season 14 semifinals and finale! We start with a rough Patisserie week to watch, where we lose Tasha to a lame laminated Showstopper. We are then left with Matty, Josh, and Dan in the finale. Despite our disappointment with an all-male finale, we were thrilled to see some fun challenges like eclairs and a forgotten lardy cake. We wrap up the whole season with layered cakes reflecting the bakers’ “first bakes”, and are thrilled to see who the judges "leaned" toward for the win. Paradise gave us a weird 35 minutes before next week’s finale... We are confused (as are many of the couples) and wonder how we are going to manage to wrap up this season with the remaining couples. Guess we will ready our tequila and find out! Don't forget to rate and subscribe so you never miss an episode discussing all the best reality TV! #GBBO #GBBS #Bachelor #Bachelorette…
This week we are making up for a missed podcast and covering the last two episodes of Great British Baking Show and Paradise! Dessert week leaves us with technical tears and questionable bombs, so thank goodness that party week delivered with fun challenges like sausage rolls and no-beige buffet spreads! Meanwhile in Mexico, everybody be “homie hoppin’”, leaving us with very few solid couples as we approach the end of the season. Katie Thurston comes down to stir things up with a spicy roast that somehow manages to create even more mess on an already very messy beach.

Botanicals week challenges the bakers to achieve that delicate flavor balance using spices and floral notes. Sadly, many bakers leave Paul and Prue wanting with bland bakes. That being said, we’re still dazzled by their floral jellied masterpieces. Paradise seems stuck with too many choices and passive connections. Everyone is homey hoppin’ and heart droppin’! Meanwhile, on Golden Bachelor, Gerry has big decisions ahead. We discuss how this different phase of life shifts the show into higher stakes.
