It's Friday!

A new episode of Reality Check is here! Why do we keep using so many exclamation marks!

Today, we take on Love Island Australia and look at why Jessie and Isabelle's heads turned quicker than the speed of light. Plus, what did we make of Luke's possessiveness over Cassie and her all-night clubbing habits? Then, we head over to The Bachelorette for a discussion on Ciarran, Australia's national treasure.

Your hosts are the wonderful Annabelle Lee (@annabe11e1ee) and Maeva Heim (@maeva_helene).

JUSTICE FOR TIMM

HELLLLOOOOO reality TV obsessives! Today, we bring you our fifth episode of Reality Check season one, and friends, it's a juicy one.

First up, we dissect the Blake and Margarita penis tiff, then talk about how the men on this season of Love Island are pretty... shit. Finally, we get into "ungenuine" Carlin and whether he's a genuinely decent person or a genuinely convincing actor. Oh, and we also discuss his lips, why on earth people care about them.

When your brother ruins everything

Good morning to our favourite (and maybe only) fellow reality TV friends! Our third episode of Reality Check is here wooooo! Today, while Maeva galivants off in Los Angeles doing super cool, adult things, Annabelle is joined by the wonderful Michelle Andrews.

Today on the show, Annabelle and Mich discuss men on Love Island Australia crying for the nation to see and why on earth the internet hates Vanessa so much. Then, we jump straight over to The Bachelorette, and dig deep on stage five clinger Jamie. Then, to finish off the episode, we draw the very unfair parallels between how we viewed Abbie Chatfield on the last season of The Bachelor with the men on Angie's season of The Bachelorette.

Villains and stage-five clingers

Yay, it's Friday! The weekend is near! A new episode if Reality Check is here! We are unintentionally rhyming and we just can't help it!

On the show today, Maeva and Annabelle discuss the drama-filled week it was for Love Island Australia. There was a same-sex coupling, there were tears, there was a lot of barking from men who called themselves "top dogs". (We know, UGH.) We also touched on The Bachelorette's fireman Jamie and his jab at bald men and debated whether or not Angie Kent is still single. What do you reckon?
