‘Secret Lives of Mormon Wives’ S5 E1-3: ‘Bachelorette’ Brand Disaster 15.09.2026 1h 47minBack in March, when Taylor Frankie Paul’s season of “The Bachelorette” was yanked just days before premiering, cameras were rolling for season five of her original reality show: “Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.” Production was ultimately paused, but season five wasn’t canceled – and all five episodes of the abbreviated season dropped last week. Annemarie Navar-Gill (the cohost of Bachelor in Retrospect) joined for a discussion of episodes 1-3, including a conversation about why this season aired to begin with, whether that was the right decision, and what it means for “The Bachelor” franchise that this season includes so many spoilers – and so much post-show drama that punctures the franchise’s fantasy brand. -
‘Love Is Blind’ UK S3 E7-11: Find My Fiancé 10.09.2026 2h 10minBy the second half of “Love Is Blind” UK, all is not well! Our crop of six robust couples has begun to dwindle, thanks to motivational speaker Ryan’s energetic hangovers and Jordan’s failure to find the spark. Ciara pushes Ajay’s boundaries just a bit too far, in the midst of her self-admitted quest to find the outer limits of his patience. And Jack pushes the limits of his ability to trek across London in shower sliders. Will any of these couples say “I do”? And, more importantly, what will they have to say about each other by the reunion? We finally have the answers by the end of this recap, and for once, those answers were pretty satisfying. Except for how Jack’s Find My Friends got turned off – that’s a question to which we may never get a straight answer. -
‘Love Is Blind’ UK S3 E1-6: Love You, Bye! 08.09.2026 2h 6minThe pods are open, to be fair! Claire and Leigh are finally catching up on “Love Is Blind” UK season 3, and it is a rollicking good time. We have a resident jovial love-bombing lad and a resident soft-life pink-pill girlie, plus an English MAHA type who only eats eggs produced by chickens who listen to “frequency music.” Despite this, and some classic love triangles, it feels like love really is brewing in the pods. In this episode, we talk about great sexpectations, great financial expectations, pot-stirrers, plaid Speedos, jacket potatoes with tuna, and ecstatic dancing. -
The ‘Love Island’ S8 & ‘Let’s Marry Harry’ Reunions: Please, We’re Exhausted 03.09.2026 2h 2minThe “Love Island” USA and “Let’s Marry Harry” reunions finally dropped this week, after we’d finally allowed our brains to move on. The two-hour “Love Island” reunion was shapeless, often boring, and felt as though it would never end. The cast re-litigated endless minor beefs, and rarely introduced new information or found any resolution – though we did finally establish how many times Sol was pied (two, as shown on TV) and how many times Bryce pulled Kayda (one, as shown on TV). Melanie had issues with half the cast, while Sincere just popped up every twenty minutes or so to issue a blanket apology. The women’s behavior is hyper-scrutinized, while the men skate by. Overall, the cast seems sad, tired, and defensive after a summer of being analyzed to death. Please, let’s put this season to bed! Then, we dip into the “Let’s Marry Harry,” where the women are aggrieved and Harry is up to his old tricks: reciting softboy emotional platitudes in order to distract from his proven track record of douchey behavior. -
‘MAFS’ S20 Finale & Reunion: A Vibe And A Half 01.09.2026 2h 5minSeason 20 of “Married at First Sight” is safely in the can, and, as we hoped, six of the seven couples are safely separated from each other! In this recap, Claire and Leigh talk about Decision Day, from the reveal of Felipe’s vile off-camera comments to Tori to the oddly timed gifting of a Ninja Creami, before diving into the action-packed reunion. Relationship experts Paul and Dr. Lisa have taken off their therapist hats and donned their tea-spilling host ensembles, and they’re ready to take stock of the emotional wounds inflicted on the show’s cast by their mostly short-lived marriages. Mecca and Bellé discuss their post-show split, while Michelle and Cam share mostly happy updates from the first year of married life. Marissa is finally ready to share her truth: She despises Adam and his cooking. Tori wants to know why she was ever even placed in Felipe’s vicinity. Adam makes fun of Courteney’s pickleball skills until she cries, all while wearing his most attention-seeking ensemble yet. Caitlin and Devin somehow slide under the radar, but Nikki and Shawn? They have no shortage of grievances to air. -
‘MAFS’ S20 E16-18: Couples Retreat From Hell 25.08.2026 2h 5minThis batch of “Married at First Sight” episodes leaves us at the brink of decision day – and teasing a scandalous off-camera conversation between Felipe and Tori. But first, the remaining six couples head off on a couples retreat that is more fratty than therapeutic. Felipe leans into his womanizing reputation, and expects Tori to be as tolerant of his foibles as his mother is. Mecca and Caitlin get flirty, and somehow Bellé is the last person anyone is concerned about. Nikki is ruminating on why Shawn told her she was a Seattle 10, but a New York 7. Adam is more focused on stirring the pot than finding compromises with Marissa. Michelle and Cam seem fine, but everyone else is fed up with their meddling and judgment. Even us! Should any of these couples actually stay married – and will they? -
‘MAFS’ S20 E13-15: All In… For Now 18.08.2026 2h 6minAs “Married at First Sight” season 20 draws closer to decision day, the pressure on the seven couples is growing – and one has, blessedly, buckled underneath it. After Nick and Courteney wisely remove themselves from the experiment, we’re left with six couples who, in Adam’s parlance, are trying to just vibe and full send it, but are mostly cooked. Adam has imperceptibly tweaked his intensity level downward, while Marissa looks more dead behind the eyes in every scene. Mecca decides that a group dinner is the perfect time to announce that his first impression of Belléjolie was, “she’s not pretty enough for me.” Caitlin is trying to lean into her feminine by introducing Devin to Taylor Swift. Nikki and Shawn put intimacy on the agenda… and hit their KPIs. Felipe realizes that commitment just means thinking Tori is hot in this moment. And though Cam has begun to waver at the idea of a relationship lasting longer than six months, he and Michelle are feeling sufficiently superior to the other couples to put themselves in charge of who should say “yes” on decision day. -
‘Let’s Marry Harry’ Puts Sprinkles On Toxic Masculinity 13.08.2026 2hHarry Jowsey has had a long and winding road through the world of reality dating TV, most notably “Too Hot to Handle” and “Perfect Match.” He rode his success from these Netflix hits to a podcast deal with Alex Cooper’s Unwell network – and now, his own reality dating show, “Let’s Marry Harry.” In this bonus, Leigh and Claire discuss a show that promises to marry the inveterate womanizer off for good. From its gimmicky concept (all 20 contestants are immediately given engagement rings and referred to as his “fiancées”) to its ill-fated attempt at a redemption arc for Harry, this show is wildly entertaining, frequently alarming, and offers much food for thought about the current state of the reality dating space and masculinity discourse. -
‘MAFS’ S20 E10-12: Strong Hobbies And Weak Connections 11.08.2026 2h 12minWelcome back to another week of a show we’d like to call “Six Future Divorces And A Marriage,” starring Cam and Michelle as the one couple we would be shocked to see announcing the end of their marriage during the next drop of episodes. Nikki has been continuing to foster her tiny spark with Shawn, while he keeps trying to douse it by suggesting that she should “show up as a wife” by giving him a handy. Marissa has finally realized that she accidentally moved to vacation by marrying Adam, and unless she acts fast, she will be getting dragged to the pickleball courts on a jetski every day until she’s 90. Devin is putting in the game of a lifetime as “best husband ever” to Caitlin, only to reveal his raging resentment whenever he’s speaking to the audience. Courteney is now kissing Nick, but continues to despise him. Bellé and Mecca are already getting into some basketball-themed roleplay to keep things fun. Everyone is making their partner guess what a strawberry tastes like. And Cam and Michelle? They’re just vibing. -
‘MAFS’ S20 E7-9: Live, Vibe, Jetski 04.08.2026 2h 12minThree weeks into “Married At First Sight,” the couples really start to settle into their marriages. Some of them take the plunge into sexual intimacy, while others are still tinkering with basic communication. Nikki and Shawn practice using “I” statements and relinquishing power. Caitlin finally dims Devin’s light to an acceptable soft glow, while he lovingly compares her to a frozen lake. Courteney’s hatred for Nick deepens by the hours, as is his determination to pretend it’s fine. Marissa has effortlessly melted her life into Adam’s jetskiing, peacocking, thrift-shopping vibe, and they have no plans other than to just keep vibing it out, full send. After some couples counseling and a group dinner, spied on by Paul and Dr. Lisa, the experts arrive to the first group therapy session ready to call everyone out – especially Adam and Mecca. But given some of these bizarre pairings, they may need to be called out just as much as any of the newlyweds. -
'Married At First Sight' S20 E4-6: Attraction At 60% 28.07.2026 2h 10minThe second week of “Married at First Sight” S20 is exposing more profound incompatibilities between these couples. An atheist married to a devout Christian? Two “bright suns” forced to orbit each other? A black cat wife eternally chased by a sad golden retriever husband? It’s enough to make you question why the experts paired these seven couples up to begin with! Episodes 4-6 take these newlyweds through a tumultuous honeymoon trip in Mexico, and drops them back in Seattle to kick off their new lives together. Several of the wives struggle to get comfortable spending every second with their new husbands – and to deal with the pressure to get physical after just a few days of knowing them. At least Adam and Marissa are off to a promising start, as long as she’s down to spend the day ripping it on his jetski. -
‘Married At First Sight’ S20 E1-3: Seven Weddings And A Jetski 21.07.2026 1h 59minFor the first time ever, we’re covering “Married at First Sight”! The franchise’s 20th season, set in Seattle, kicked off last week with three episodes. The first batch of episodes introduced us to seven couples – including one semi-professional reality star (hey there, Nick from “The Circle”), a man who only travels via jet ski, and a woman who claims not to remember January 6th – as well as a handful of problematic dads. It’s an overabundance of couples, and most of them seem doomed from jump. Leigh and Claire discuss the threads of conservatism in this cast, how many of the men are bursting with ego or can’t stop pushing their new wives’ sexual boundaries, and how hopeful we are that each couple will find a love story together. (Spoiler: Not very!) -
A Former ‘Bachelor’ Producer’s Controversial Memoir & Post-‘Love Island’ Drama 16.07.2026 1h 19minAfter an epic season of “Love Island,” we have a lot of catching up to do! This episode, we get into some Bachelor Nation news, as well as the post-villa drama and gossip that has already begun to percolate from our new “Love Island” alums. Then, it’s time for book club! We read the new memoir from former “Bachelor” producer Julie LaPlaca, “The Love Producer” – and took in some of the discourse about it. So we dig into her revelations about the inappropriate relationship she claims to have developed with Peter Weber while producing his season, her romanticization of the entanglement, and her preoccupation with becoming the Bachelorette herself. -
‘Love Island’ S8 E32-35: To Brinfinity And Beyond 14.07.2026 1h 57minIt’s “Love Island” graduation week! Emma pops back in from maternity leave this episode to offer her hot takes on this final batch of episodes. The families come through to offer their blessings or curses on the couples (for Melanie and Sincere, it’s a quadruple hex that still isn’t strong enough to destroy their connection). The couples partake in one final grotesque challenge, romantically transferring mushroom soup and mayonnaise from mouth to mouth and then making out on a slip’n’slide. They are sent on EPIC final dates to remember, like making pizza together on a floating bungalow, reading a love story written about them in a fairytale bower, or eating hard sandwiches tied in twine next to a swamp. Zach shows his devotion to Kayda by promising to follow her wherever she goes, presumably so he has a place to stay, and Bryce and Trinity level up their relationship even further. It all builds to a finale that warmed our romantic hearts. -

‘Love Island’ S8 E26-31: Situationship Spin-Out 09.07.2026 2h 24minMovie Night, the cataclysmic climax of “Love Island,” has come to an end, and the islanders have spent the week sweeping up and sorting through the emotional wreckage. Apologies are made and accepted, old grievances aired out. Dylan finally lets go of his resentment that Kenzie didn’t commit to the boys she met before him, and Melanie, under pressure from her castmates, lets go of her no-kisses-for-Sincere boundary. The couples find out how America ranks them – which leaves Zach and Kayda unmoored, but KC and Titi bolstered. There’s a flurry of commitment conversations, and even a remarkably poorly executed scavenger hunt. We all have a rousing debate about the difference between a “situationship” and “dating exclusively,” and end up even more confused. The finale looms! Who will emerge victorious? -
‘Love Island’ S8 E20-25: Movie Night Mayhem 02.07.2026 2h 20minGrab your popcorn, our favorite film is on: “Love Island” production exposing the manipulations of red-pilled creeps! Our temporary co-host Leigh Blickley joins for her first episode of Emma’s maternity leave, and we look back on the entire bleak week of male misbehavior, callousness, and gaslighting. We consider the lack of true boy-girl friendships this season, the boys-will-be-boys mindsets of the islanders, Zach and Sincere’s manipulative mind games and KC’s pivot to manosphere rhetoric and macho swagger. At least we have Brinity and Carniya – and, even better, the new villa sisterhood. -
‘Love Island’ S8 E14-19: Too Many Lap Dances w/ Game of Roses 25.06.2026 2h 37minIt’s time for Casa Amor, babyyyyy!! Claire is joined by Lizzy and Chad, cohosts of Game of Roses, for some deep analysis of this week’s episodes. The first half of the season has dragged a bit – stagnant, uninspiring couples; underwhelming bombshell arrivals; no dates to speak of – and just as the energy was about to fully dissipate, the boys get the fateful text to head to Casa Amor. This time, there are a few big twists to up the emotional ante… and get the girls to stop weeping about their couples and explore. The minute KC enters Casa, he throws caution to the winds and shows us exactly why Aniya couldn’t quite trust his intentions; Corbin has found a good reason to shed Kenzie (lustfulness is one of the seven deadly sins, after all); and Bryce realizes that Trinity is worth yearning over. The girls get double the guys for their trouble, but it may not be enough to tempt them from their mediocre couples. Is Brinity our best hope for a happy ending? -
‘Love Island’ S8 E8-13: From CorbinGPT To ChatGPT 18.06.2026 2h 21minThis week on “Love Island,” the love triangles started percolating – and those who aren’t in love triangles clearly got a firm nudge to start making some more villa geometry happen. Bryce randomly decided to pull his best friend’s girl, which gave everyone a hearty laugh. Zach keeps feebly insisting that he wants to stay open for a hypothetical bombshell he likes better than Kayda, while Kayda is ready to fluid bond. Aniya and KC enter a death spiral of miscommunication. Melanie actually does everything everyone has asked her to do – give Sincere space, explore other connections honestly and respectfully, regulate her emotions – and Kenzie still feels personally victimized by her existence. After all, Melanie’s existence is making it marginally harder for her to monopolize the attention of both men she likes! Plus, we learn the perils of outsourcing a generation of brains to ChatGPT. No one can write and no one can make scrambled eggs!!!! -
‘Farmer Wants A Wife’ S4 Finale: The Last Tradwives Standing 16.06.2026 51minThree farmers, six women, and one enormous tractor: In the last two episodes of “Farmer Wants a Wife,” it’s time to find out who is destined for a future together. We get into the final two episodes of season 4, where our three farmers meet their final two contenders’ families and/or besties, and then ask one of them to… continue figuring out if they maybe want to move across the country and join the farm life. We also reveal which of these couples are still together and how the relationships seem to be faring after seven months of secrecy!
