Used to love the show, don’t enjoy it anymore. Nick has gotten harder to listen to and he used to not bother me. I still try to listen from time to time but won’t be able to much longer. Nick talks over people a lot, his attitude about things is unpleasant, and seems to have even more of an air of superiority around him lately. Miss the vibe of the show previously!

Ugh Ciara rolling her R’s every time she talks is CRINGE. DOES NOT MAKE YOU COOL.

I was a long time listener until the last year or so. When this pod first started, it was enjoyable. But the thing that happens to so many celebs has happened here … the show becomes about THE HOST instead of their community, the topics, their guests, etc. The titular host has become so full of himself, it isn’t fun any more. His interview style is: Ask a question, let the guest start to answer, then interrupt and answer the question. A little humility goes a LONG way with us civilians outside BN. He lost me when he replaced Amanda with his fiancee. Amanda was smart and challenged a lot of his viewpoints (it was nice to hear friendly debate). His fiancee is as self-absorbed as he is. Why two stars then? Production quality is top notch.

Avoid listener who truly enjoys the pod BUT I do feel as though Natalie leads with emotion far too often, and makes some situation uncomfortable for others and listeners. And most importantly….Ciara with the crispy r’s….I truly fast forward.

I’ve been listening for a very long time and ya know radio voices do matter. I pushed through with Chrissy’s voice (it was tough i’m sorry). I LOVED Ally and Amanda. The best producers so far. Big L losing their input, there is a noticeable difference without Amanda. I enjoy the household. Sure there are a lot of voices, but that doesn’t bother me. The person who I can not for the life of me understand why they are recurring is Ciara. Her voice sounds so forced and it’s SO hard to listen to her grating curls of letters. I put up with it when she would join here or there…. but every episode. It’s getting to the point where I don’t want to listen anymore. Like I said I get her being on here and there but her opinions seem very “idk let me just throw this thought out from left field”. I’m sure she is a lovely person but she doesn’t add anything to the podcast that other members of the household do actually do well. I would love to see more banter from the household!! Push Nick! Amanda did that perfectly and the podcasts were always better for it. I enjoy Nicks opinions (although I don’t always agree), but love a debate and for him to be challenged. He can handle it.

I love this show… but the chopped-up, skipping, miss-matched editing is making it hard to listen and needs to be addressed.

Her voice is nails on a chalkboard and her takes are giving ignorance.

I like the show to hear about people’s drama but Nick is annoying to listen to.

You have 30 minutes of “real concise” content in an hour+ show. ASK NICK needs to go. 🥴 (Nick tell everyone how to pronounce your last name)

Updating my original review below. This podcast is growing tiresome. I miss when it had more substance. I don’t mind the interviews, but the reality tv talk is lame. I am a long-time reality tv person & their takes are pretty bad. You can’t start watching a show in the middle and have an accurate take on the players and situations. Also, the advice episodes are tooooo long. The advice needs to be more concise and let’s move along. No reason to be going around in circles with the callers for 45 minutes. All the hype has really cheapened this pod. I hope they can find a way to course correct! Also, if Nick says “so to speak” one more time… lol Original Review: This is the only podcast I have consistently listened to over the last year plus. Nick gives really good, insightful advice and has a wide variety of guests and topics. It’s a good mix of culture conversations, relationship advice & (of course) Bachelor talk! I’m glad that we’ve been able to get to know Nick past his time on TV.

Tampons are gross no matter where you put them. But you cannot flush them in the toilet, Natalie! 😹😹😹

I literally can’t get enough!!!! Such a great crew!

She’s always interrupting Nick and her insights are very immature. I would rather just listen to Nick on his own.

Ok, Katies energy is really low. I hate listening or watching her . Can’t do it anymore. Your girl is low key miserable

I enjoy this podcast, but why was Amanda (the most articulate and thoughtful person on here) & even Allie pushed aside for the nepo fiancé that already had her own career? We feel the loss. Now it’s adult {& not so concise} Nick leading an army of like five very young sounding minions that just keep interjecting “period” or “literally” or “truly” or “love that” instead of any real substance. Not to mention whoever is editing makes mistakes in each ep with entire convos repeating or abrupt mid convo starts. At least N&N have finally let up on the disingenuous overnight Swiftiedom & Nick trying to sound important bc T’s loose lipped stylist friend gives you basic gossip.

Good show but for the love of God as a grown man can you please stop saying " LIKE" every 3rd word. Smh smh

Used to love the pod when it was just Nick, Ali, and Amanda! They had such great banter between them and it felt natural. Now it feels like there’s too many cohosts, I don’t even know who is talking half the time. Miss the longer bachelor recaps as well.

I come here for the guests and recaps, but lately it’s too much. Too many cohost. Too many guest on 1 show. Too many times interrupting your guests. Too many opinions. Too much time spent on pointless chatter between the hosts.

How does this multiple time loser get to give people advice on anything. He’s uninteresting, unintelligent, and dishonest. He apparently is a lame duck in other areas as well if you read what his romantic partners have written about him.

I am not a fan of the co-hosts and the “pop-culture correspondent.” The pod cast is all over the place. Pop culture, dating advice, bachelor. Pick a theme and stick with it. Is anyone else really tired of vanderpump?

…was hard to listen to. Way too many people in the room. It was distracting and I don’t think Zack could get a word in at the beginning.

I love the pod but in so curious why Monica sits down with her burn book on her lap in the videos but then claims she doesn’t have the burn book with her when asked????

I just started listening to the show and I’m loving it! Been loving the guests, enjoying Nick and the women but I became a VIEWER today because I just had to get a look at Tyler!!! 🔥🔥🫠

I’m just going to leave this here…. There’s a lot of reviews about being disappointed that Nick’s RR are no longer dedicated to deep dives into Bachelor. LET the man evolve. He was part of the show a long time ago and doesn’t want to only be tied to that one “Reality Nation.” I love that he’s branching out into other Reality shows, and if there’s any that I don’t watch, I hit the little 30s skip forward button a few times and life is good. There’s plenty of dedicated Bachelor Recap podcasts, so take your pick. I’ve also seen posts fearing Nick doing more parenting topics on this show and I’m HERE FOR IT. Nick is evolving from when he first started this podcast, and so is his team. If you’re true fans, you’ll love them all in every season.

I enjoy the podcast. I listen during workouts and walks and you always have guests that that I watch on tv or follow. I enjoy the multiple shows a week as well.

Nick should have been nicer to Ben from Crappens at SXSW. Great show!

but Nick is everyone's ex who has a superiority complex. I just........ can't get on board with the "i'm a woke masculine figure who has read at least one self help book in my life and happily went to therapy one time when a female forced me"

Reality recaps have become insufferable. Nick acts like a mean girl & the cohosts just go along with what he says. Really used to look forward to listening but it’s def not the same…

I enjoy listening to this podcast pretty much exclusively because I tend to agree with Nick assertions of peoples behaviors from astute observations on moral and ethical standpoints. I also know that this is just reality TV at the end of the day – that being said, taking money from pro gun advocates for advertising? that feels hypocritical to what I thought that you stood for. Surely there are plenty of brands clamoring to get your listeners ears that aren’t part of a morally repugnant group of people. what’s worse is it’s insurance for idiots who use their guns the wrong way to have a policy to protect them from their awful choices. that just bummed me out.

I used to love this pod, but lately they’re getting on my nerves. There are a lot of cohosts and I’m not a huge fan of Ciara (sorry). Her voice is a bit annoying. I do love the bravolebs and others they manage to bring on the pod for GD & RR, but sometimes I want less of the random talk and for them to just get into it.

Why are you not being honest with her about her messed up dating life? She is creating so much baggage for herself and anyone who dates her next. I understand she’s not asking for it but, don’t agree as if it’s ok to treat herself like clearance rack merchandise. Love your show, thanks for the content by your longtime co hosts

Your latest episode with Zack from the Valley. He was asked a question and you all talked over him so much that he couldn’t answer. It was so frustrating because he was giving some good inside info on the relationship between Brittany and Jax. You guys would even let him finish his thought before talking over him, interrupting him. It was beyond frustrating to listen to! For the love of god! Get it together!

Love this pod and the guests they get on. But this past episode with Zac Wickham from the Valley was super hard to listen to. Natalie and Nick constantly cutting him off and interrupting was so frustrating.. whenever there is too many ppl in the studio it’s a lot and ruins the episode.

Love this pod! But can y’all PLEASE time stamp the episodes! Please!

Nick has gotten soooo full of himself and cocky lately it’s cringe. Everytime someone else tries to give their opinion, if he doesn’t agree he shuts them down so fast it’s ridiculous. Also, too many people. Constantly talking over and interrupting eachother it’s hard to listen to. Nick, humble yourself.

Never come to write a negative review on podcasts, but listening to the most recent episode with Zack Wickham was painful. Let your guest speak and answer the questions you asked! So frustrating. It’s also unnecessary to have so many co-hosts on the pod. Not sure how that positively contributes to the show.

There’s just too much going on here. Streamline the topics, cohosts and speaking voices and you’ve got yourself a great show. Nick is a talent, but I think they’re trying to do too much here. Stick to one guest per episode (no input from Natalie or the other 3 (??) producers), and one topic - reality recap, going deep or advice. Having daisy and Jojo siwa in one episode was confusing.

What is with your constant criticism of Scheana? And you just predicted she would be divorced next season. I think you are letting your fav Katie whisper in your ear too much. It is all getting old. You and the show are turning me off. Hard to believe you are over 40. Grow up.

I genuinely enjoy listening to this podcast and the advice Nick gives. I wish I would have found this sooner when I was dealing with my own problems. Would have definitely saved me time and embarrassment but I will use the tools he provides in different episodes going forward when it comes to navigating the dating world.

Too many co-hosts on this podcast is it like Nick plus 4 other people giving input for reality recap… too much

Long time listener- I enjoyed listening to bachelor recap and the expert episodes. Now, they barely cover bachelor and only discuss pop culture. I like pop culture just fine but I really enjoyed getting more out of a podcast when Nick would have experts discuss relationships, experiences, and give advice. It seems like they are just trying to get more listeners than actually produce meaningful content. But I guess that makes money. I’m a subscriber to viall files + but honestly, it’s just not worth it. Every episode seems rushed like they have better things to do. I thought it would be fun to watch VPR and listen to the recaps every week but it seems like they don’t even watch the episodes, they just kinda skim through it and get a lot of information wrong. I just cancelled my subscription. I’ll still listen occasionally but I’ve been looking elsewhere for a podcast when Viall files used to be my go to.

Love the pod and the different types of episodes throughout the week but there are too many co hosts. Too many voices at once. It’s getting unnecessarily complicated.

Usually enjoy the podcast, but lately not so. What’s with the vpr obsession. Let’s move on to something else. These bozos and their airtime are getting old and boring!

Omg enough with the “we hate Scheana Shay” podcast. We don’t care how much you hate her. Truly.

Came to listen to Joey and Kelsey’s interview and got stuck listening to Natalie’s crimes for close to an hour. Please add time stamps! (Sorry Natalie but I only had an hour commute to listen and your crimes took up most of it)

Listen religiously to VF. Beyond obsessed with Natalie and Nick’s banter, love Natalie’s commentary and always appreciate Nick’s takes on ask Nick. Always look forward to new episodes!!

The episode about his girl friend’s birth story had so many creepy and inappropriate moments. Sexualizing breastfeeding, talking about his mother in law’s attractiveness, and talking about his baby repeatedly in terms of how good looking she is was gross.

Generally enjoy the guests & the content. The constant getting names wrong is difficult. It’s Tom SCHWARTZ not Swartz.

Nick, always thought you were hot , but then I started listening to the podcast and fell in love with your mind 🩷 You’re so intelligent and just so careful in all your advice to these various situations. You and Natalie are so good together. Congratulations on baby River ! You two are killing it. Thank you for also reading Scheana for filth on every episode. Sorry , I’m all over the place but I just love you guys. The household is killing it !

I like Nick, I’ve been listening for a long time. Natalie feels forced… wish she wasn’t on the podcast.
