Episode 14 - Our Version of an Emergency Episode - Part 1 of the Summer House Reunion
We waited 3 whole days to talk to each other about Part 1 of the Summer House reunion. But this is not a recap! We may have cracked the code that is Amanda’s psychology. We marvel at how prepared Ciara is and hope she keeps her foot on the gas as the reunion continues. We also hope that questions about the timeline will actually be answered.

Episode 13 - Bravo’s In the City (But Inevitably Summer House)
Mara and Colleen are excited to be starting In the City together, but were underwhelmed by the first episode. Our conversation highlights that In the City cannot be separated from Summer House and that the Summer House drama is what makes In the City compelling for now.

Episode 12 - Bravo Always Brings Us Back - Summer House Drama
Mara and Colleen are back! We talk about how reality TV is at an inflection point in how it handles reality after the cameras stop rolling. We delve into the similarities between the Summer House and Vanderpump Rules scandals and why Amanda and West’s betrayal of Ciara is as compelling as Scandoval.

Episode 9 - MAFS Messiness (including Steve and Noi’s Instagram Breakup) From the Cutting Room Floor
At the end of our 8th episode, what started out as a tangential conversation about MAFS Boston’s Steve and Noi’s breakup announcements, ended up running the gamut of all our favorite reality tv topics (MAFS, Bravo, MAFS and Bravo, and The Bachelorette). Enjoy!

Episode 8 - Reality TV in Reverse - Hulu’s The Dropout + Update
This is our first episode with an update — Elizabeth Holmes is in fact pregnant! Mara and Colleen dive into the Theranos story and discuss why there is an appetite for the retelling of all these fraudsters’ stories (e.g. Fyre Festival, Anna Delvey, College Admission Scandal). With the upcoming sentencing of both Elizabeth Holmes and Sunny Balwani, we can’t help but wonder if all of the elements that made Elizabeth Holmes’ story the most intriguing, may also help her receive a lighter prison sentence.

Episode 7 - Reality Therapy - MAFS Boston Wrap Up and Netflix’s The Ultimatum
Mara and Colleen cover a lot of ground in this episode. Highlights include: comparing the Married at First Sight universe to Marvel, predicting that MAFS will soon be airing on Bravo, how self-defeating Alyssa and ultimatums are, and props to Becca Kufrin. And while we are tired of dating reality shows being filmed in Boston, we wouldn’t be surprised if the second season of The Ultimatum is filmed there (or maybe on Long Island). Enjoy!
