Janae is taking you through MAFS S20 episodes 4-6 while I was out of the country, so that when I return this week, we can review the latest batch of episodes together. This batch of episodes made me (Leah) question how the piano man was arguably doing better in his marriage than the rest of the couples???Make sure that if you enjoyed this episode, you support our good friend Janae & you follow her on all platforms after the episode!

TW: DV, SA, and conversations around IPV. Please listen to this episode carefully. This season of The Ultimatum is over, but it seems that some of the most dramatic scenes actually went unaired? This episode I'm taking you through episodes 7-9 and all of the Ultimatum interviews that I've watched to get you up to speed!Like this episode? Make sure to follow me on all platforms!

Warning: this episode will contain spoilers from the finale & reunion episode. This episode will also be discussing sexual assault and DV. Today I'm taking you through The Ultimatum episodes 4-6 in preparation to talk about the reunion. After watching this batch of episodes, I'm reminded of the men's group chat that was exposed after a woman in France found out that her husband had been SA'ing her, and allowing other men to SA her for years. This groupchat shared tips on how to assault your wife, without her knowledge, and thousands of men sharing their personal experiences testing out the shared tactics. I'm also thrown back to a less severe situation on The Valley where Jesse was exposed in the groupchat for calling Michelle a paid escort to the boys. I think a lesson is that a lot of things can be learned from reading your partners group chats, or spending time around their friends.

Trigger Warning: Misogynoir. In case you completely forgot who Kenny Rodriguez is....he first appeared on our screens when he coupled up with JaNa Craig on Love Island USA S6. After 11 months of dating, JaNa found text messages on Kenny's phone that revealed he was a racist, and sending filth to his family and friends (allegedly). After sending JaNa a cease and desist, an attempt to keep those text messages from ever seeing the light of day, he waited an entire year to bring this situation back his own self. So now we are here....where I listened to Kenny spew lies for 1.5 hours on this podcast, so that all of you don't have to. The entire 90-minutes that Kenny is on this podcast, everything out of his mouth is an attempt to paint JaNa as harmful stereotypes. Please listen to this episode with care. <3 And make sure you're subscribed to JaNa Craig's YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@janacraig

Another season of The Ultimatum is upon is...which means we are introduced to more toxic couples that never needed to be together in the first place. This is the season of MAGA politics, talks with AI, misinformation, gaslighting, emotional abuse, misogyny, and manipulation...lucky us. We will be getting into all of that and who I think the villains are based off the first three episodes. If you loved this episode, make sure you come back for my next review of episodes 4-8.

Today I'm going to need everyone to give a warm welcome to our returning guest, with a new last name...MRS. Janae Davis, MFT. Today we are talking the first two episodes of Married at First Sight S20 in Seattle and taking you through all of our thoughts. Hot take: we think the show would be better if they just outright said that the casting department for the network finds the pool of eligible singles for an upcoming season, and from that pool of 14 people the experts have to match who would be compatible. Truthfully, I saw more effort in matchmaking on Millionaire Matchmaker with Patti Stranger. What do you think of this season so far? What couples do you see it for? And who are you not seeing it for? Let us know in the comments & come back next week for episodes 3&4!Make sure that if you enjoyed this episode, you support our good friend Janae & you follow her on all platforms after the episode!

This episode was supposed to be a catch-up on all things Bravo but you know I had to add a little Love Island news in there as well. I also keep forgetting to talk about Tom Sandoval pushing his ex? girlfriend's father in the fire. That needs to be talked about in the next Bravo recap. Along with the latest news on TFP from Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. If you're waiting on my recap of Kenzie's episode on Call Her Daddy, it will be in my next episode. I'll also be recording a 3-min recap for TikTok so make sure you follow me over there. Stay tuned!

Now that the season is over and we've had a second to catch our breaths...let's look back at the season (with some nuance). This episode will be a very honest and open conversation that is typically had behind the scenes with trusted friends; but it felt necessary to bring to the podcast in order to have an in-depth conversation. Stay tuned towards the end for some of the things I've seen on social media from the Islanders so far, including: Sincere's families livestream and Trinity's first statement since leaving the Villa. Head to my TikTok for the complete roundup I did on the Islanders social media presence post-villa.

We finally made it. The home stretch of Love Island USA Season 8. It feels good to be here and finally part ways with this season....until August 31st. This episode I'm going through the final five episodes of Love Island and getting us ready to talk about all of the post-villa antics and the impending doom that comes with Beyond the Villa.I'm going to place my bet early that we see Charlie on an episode of Beyond the Villa because Zach will be all too eager to accept a role.Stay tuned for my upcoming coverage on a new season of Married at First Sight, The Valley, In the City & The Ultimatum (coming soon). We still have tons to talk about outside of the Villa and I hope you stay along for the ride!
