The AMPire Diaries Episode 11: “Isobel” | “Founder’s Day” (Season 1 Finale)

Hello, AMPies! This week in this horny Vampire Diaries rewatch-slash-first-time watch (and mostly spoiler-free) combination podcast, we’re talking “Isobel” (Season 1, Episode 21) and the misplaced apostrophe-loving “Founder’s Day” (Season 1, Episode 22). The latter is, of course, the Season 1 finale of The Vampire Diaries, so you know this is a Very Special Episode. In this episode alone, your favorite hosts:

- Continue to pretend that they know anything about The L-Word

- Delve deeper into “ThE gILbErT cHaRm”

- Give The Vampire Diaries a new name, thus allowing at least one of your hosts to further appreciate the show (It’s LaToya, as she only likes shows with “town” in the title now.)

- Question why they love this Confederate-loving show so much

- Say a lot of other stuff they don’t want to spoil in the show notes

- Look back on some of their favorite episodes and needle drops from The Vampire Diaries Season 1

And you can probably guess it, but… They’re already AMPED for Season 2.

“ISOBEL RETURNS TO MYSTIC FALLS” (“Isobel”)

“THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING, WITH AN ENDING THAT WILL LEAVE YOU HANGING” (“Founder’s Day”)

The more AMPED logline this time around? Honestly, considering the whole Confederacy thing mentioned here and in this AMPire Diaries episode, the “Founder’s Day” logline has kind of ended up disqualifying itself. So, “Isobel” is more amped by default.

Whether you’re a Vampire Diaries obsessive or newcomer, join along with hosts LaToya Ferguson (@lafergs—Vampire Diaries obsessive), Morgan Lutich (@LorganMutich—Vampire Diaries obsessive), and Jill Defiel (@jiilbobaggins—Vampire Diaries newcomer) on their new podcast journey. Most importantly, get AMPED (and horny) along with them on this journey. Ya gotta get AMPED.
