Love to See It with Emma and Claire

This week on “The Traitors,” after Candiace’s banishment last week, her Faithful security blanket Johnny is under scrutiny. Time for his secret friendship with Tara to bear fruit – or for the two winsome Olympians to blow their cover in the most adorably unstrategic way. Meanwhile, Rob is continuing to bro out with his dude alliance, especially his new Traitor pal, Eric. Mr. Magic Ears is trying to find his footing as a new Baby Traitor, and production is not trying to make it easy for him.

In the second half of the first drop of “LIB” season 10, it’s time to get serious. One feckless suitor is so indecisive he manages to fumble both of his lovely ladies. But the rest of our ebullient Ohioans sort out their love triangles, pop the question, respond with a hearty “let’s go!”, and jet off to the group honeymoon in Cabo (or, in the case of one fortunate couple, a solo retreat in Malibu). On their luxurious getaways, they can finally get down to business: prolific sex and passive-aggressive conflict!

“Love Is Blind” is heading to the great state of Ohio, and no one is more excited than hometown hero himself, Nick Lachey. And honestly, there’s a lot to dig into in the beginning of this season – especially because we are following SO MANY different characters. We do our best to keep all of the various bearded white men from completely blending together, discuss who we think is this season’s Golden Couple, and explore what happens when you give a man who is incapable of making decisions a choice between two excellent women. (Since Netflix dropped six episodes at once, we decided to split our recap into two parts. The second half will be out later this week.)

This week, a very special guest joins our “Traitors” recap to discuss a big episode for The Housewife Slayer: Peter Shamshiri, co-host of the If Books Could Kill and 5-4 podcasts! We get into the episode’s big Candiace vs. Rob stand-off, the recruitment at the end, and discuss what the future might hold for this season. But first, we spend a little time close-reading the new casting announcement for Chris Harrison’s alarming trad-coded dating show. The vibes… are dark.

This week’s episode of “The Traitors” is rife with Traitor-On-Traitor violence. Seven weeks in, the fragile alliance within the turret has been severed, all because Rob went for his bros over his hoes. As the snake in the turret gobbles eggs and throws shade at icon and legend Lisa Rinna, Candiace is ready to turn the tables. Meanwhile, Colton can’t wait to be the big dude in charge again.

It’s been awhile since we did a news & gossip episode, so we had a lot to catch up on! We start by talking about the deeply heartening wave of reality TV stars who have spoken up about ICE operations in Minneapolis. Then we got into some off-screen drama from “The Traitors,” “The Golden Bachelor,” “Summer House” and “Love Is Blind” – the ongoing backlash against Colton Underwood and the show’s apparent attempt to tamp it down, yet another Mel interview in which he calls Cindy a quitter, some divorces and engagements, and more!

It’s episode 6 of “The Traitors,” and things are really starting to cook. Colton is instigating a full-on war with Lisa Rinna and being extra dickish in the process. Johnny Weir tries to rally a group of Faithful Faithfuls to take control of the game, with mixed success. And Rob Rausch starts to get his game in trouble because he doesn’t want to vote for his sweet bros! Basically…it’s a whole lot of delicious chaos. And nothing is more delicious than ending on a cliffhanger involving a murder in plain sight.

Get in, losers, we’re going to the cottage! Like most women you know, we haven’t been able to stop thinking, dreaming, talking, and texting about the gay hockey romance juggernaut “Heated Rivalry.” And we couldn’t help but wonder: what does the massive success of this show tell us about what women want in relationships, or what healthy masculinity looks like to us? What does it say about the ways women feel about themselves and their own sexuality? And what lessons should reality dating shows take from this cultural moment? We get into all of these questions and (full disclosure) swoon… a lot.

This season of “The Traitors” continues to be action-packed and full of loudmouths getting in their own way! A new Bachelor Nation Traitor hunter has emerged to take command of the Faithful troops, but not everyone is convinced he’s fit to lead. An unexpected laugh piques one player’s suspicion. The unhinged challenges continue, this time with more effigies and spears, and the ravenous players are all jockeying for the most important thing of all: the smoked salmon at breakfast. At the roundtable, things take a dark turn… and Rob gives Michael a much-needed vocabulary lesson.

The latest season of “The Traitors US” kicked off with three banger episodes, packed with scheming and twists. There’s a new Traitor in the castle – a mystery Traitor, whose identity is unknown to even the other Traitors and the audience – and a fascinating group of contestants are chosen as this season’s Traitors. But there is some genuine darkness in the castle: Michael Rapaport’s continued, offputting presence. How many tantrums can one loud-mouthed actor/comedian throw in one season of a social strategy game before getting ousted, one way or another? We’re dying to find out.

In today’s re-release, we’re revisiting the friends-to-lovers film that kicked off the rom-com renaissance of the 90’s: When Harry Met Sally. We wanted to release this episode again with a new segment up top, reflecting on the unbelievable legacy of the late Rob Reiner, and his wife, photographer Michele Singer Reiner. Their love story, which started during the making of “When Harry Met Sally,” forever changed the course of rom-com history. Thank you, Rob and Michele, for making the world a better, brighter, more loving place.

We got the chance to sit down with Cindy Cullers, the runner-up of season 2 of “The Golden Bachelor”! Besides being absolutely luminous, Cindy thoughtfully reflected on her “Bachelor” journey. We discussed what initially drew her to Mel, her thoughts on that infamous podcast, how he handled conversations with her daughters, the truth about the lemon bars, what made her finally walk away, and how she feels about Mel’s… rather harsh post-show interviews. Plus – would Cindy ever consider being the Golden Bachelorette?

It’s been 30 years since Emma Thompson, Ang Lee, and producer Lindsay Doran came together to make one of the greatest Jane Austen adaptations of all time. BFF of the pod Erin Darke joins us to get into the incredible way this film came together, a deeply satisfying behind-the-scenes love story, and all of the details that make this movie practically perfect. Hugh Grant? Alan Rickman? Kate Winslet? Emma Thompson? A divine combination that holds up even decades later.

Friend of the pod Arden Myrin joined us for our first rom-com rewatch of the holiday season! We dove into 1994 classic “Four Weddings and a Funeral,” starring Hugh Grant and his slutty little glasses alongside Andie MacDowell, Kristin Scott Thomas, John Hannah and Simon Callow. Somehow the movie manages to work, despite the fact that the central love story is thinly-rendered and unremarkable, and despite the fact that Grant’s Charles is kind of the biggest villain in the film???

Since we have to wait a few months before we watch Taylor Frankie Paul’s season of “The Bachelorette,” we decided to take matters into our own hands and google the 26 potential men who will compete for her heart! What we found are a bunch of scruffy-faced, cowboy-adjacent men of faith. But a few of them had some shockingly fascinating backstories – including one who has deep ties to former Republican Congressman Madison Cawthorn.

Now that season 2 of “Golden Bachelor” is safely in the books, Mel and his final choice Peg have been making the rounds. We get into their magazine interviews and Bachelor Happy Hour episodes, all of which are drenched in his trademark defensiveness and disdain for quitters. Plus, we discuss some Bachelor Nation news and gossip, including leaked tidbits and photos about Taylor Frankie Paul’s season of “The Bachelorette,” which is currently filming, and the confirmation of Ashley I.’s role on “The Real Housewives of Rhode Island.” To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.
