Peter and Amanda finally deliver on our promise to cover Love is Blind Italy Season 1, and we have a lot of thoughts. After battling the "mutant flu" and getting back on track, we discuss every couple from this Italian adventure—and spoiler alert: we think this might be one of the best international Love is Blind seasons yet.

We talk about why Italian women earned our respect for absolutely refusing to take anyone's nonsense, discuss some wild cultural observations (why is everyone wearing white?), and share our honest takes on each relationship from the pods to the altar to the reunion. We've got mismatched couples, heartbreaking near-misses, theatrical villains who dress like Hamilton, a man we can only describe as "a thumb," and one love story so pure it restored our faith in the entire franchise.

Along the way, we get into some unexpected territory—the language barrier when it comes to detecting drunk behavior, the great debate over standing versus sitting when men pee, and what other Love is Blind international editions have taught us about how different cultures approach sex and relationships.

Whether you've already binged this season or you're looking for a sign to start, come hang out on the couch with us.

After six weeks of sinus infections and holiday chaos, we're back to finish Plur1bus Season 1 and watch Carol make the worst decisions imaginable.

We break down episodes 5-9 (with a quick glossover of 4), including some really horrifying reveals, Carol's desperate loneliness leading to terrible voicemail abuse, and Manousos' attempt to finally meet with Carol. We discuss the manipulation tactics of the hive, analyze why they may not need Carol's consent to turn her after all, and rage about Carol abandoning everything she stood for because she caught feelings.

We examine the parallel journeys of Carol and Manasses dealing with isolation, debate whether the hive's bliss is real enlightenment or just constant micro-doses of happy hormones and celebrate the most insane season finale reveal ever.

Also: brief discussion of Mickey from Big Brother's tragic passing, and what's coming in the next episode.

Thanks for listening!

After a week of sickness and migraines, we're back to wrap up Squid Game: The Challenge Season 2 and gush about Wicked (no spoiler warning can save you from our obsession, but this is your warning nonetheless).

We break down the final episodes of Squid Game, including the marbles betrayal, why you should never admit you're a millionaire on reality TV, and the most frustrating self-sacrifice in game show history. We discuss New York's rock-paper-scissors obsession and subsequent toddler tantrum, analyze the Chutes and Ladders drama between Stephen and Perla, and share our thoughts on Deja's controversial elimination in the final challenge.

Then we pivot to our year-long Wicked anticipation finally paying off, comparing the movie to the musical, debating whether it needed to be split into two films, and praising Cynthia Erivo for somehow improving on perfection. We discuss the new songs that didn't need to exist, why Jonathan Bailey's Fiero finally made us care, and how Peter went from Wicked skeptic to buying out the entire merch stand.

Plus, we share the unhinged TikTok comment telling us we need our heads examined for liking "wicked" things and tease a potential new segment about the wild insults Amanda receives online.

After two attempts at recording this episode, we finally tackle Vince Gilligan's mind-bending new sci-fi series Plur1bus, where the most miserable person on earth must save the world from happiness.

We break down the first three episodes of this apocalyptic utopia where an extraterrestrial RNA formula creates a collective consciousness that eliminates individuality but brings peace to Earth. We debate whether we'd join the hive mind or resist, examine what makes humanity worth preserving, and question if our obsession with individuality is actually holding us back as a species. We discuss the uncomfortable parallels to AI, analyze whether eternal happiness is worth losing your personality, and share why the show feels like it's like talking to ChatGPT in human form.

We discuss the lack of Easter eggs (much to Amanda's disappointment), debate whether the show is getting unwarranted hype because of Vince's reputation and appreciate his ability to make dark drama genuinely funny.

Peter and Amanda talk about the first batch of episodes from Squid Game: The Challenge Season 2, where the cast proves to be full of little bitches.

We break down the counting challenge that splits the game almost immediately, analyze the six-legged pentathlon featuring Korean children's games that humbled Amanda completely, and discuss the most infuriating game of Catch ever played. We examine why putting yourself first in every challenge makes you a target for karma, share our rage about a certain player's toddler-like behavior, and celebrate when justice finally arrives for the most selfish players.

We test our own abilities with house of cards (spoiler: we suck), debate whether a player rebellion was staged, and question why anyone would eliminate someone instead of getting ten bags of chips. Plus, we share our completely unhinged Wicked merchandise obsession, Peter's failed Dunkin' donut mission, and why wearing a mask while pretending to drink whiskey is the dumbest aesthetic choice ever.

Peter and Amanda binge the shit out of season 2 of Nobody Wants This and share their frustrations about not really feeling satisfied after ten episodes.

We discuss the ongoing conversion storyline that refuses to die, analyze a therapist who has a pattern of dating his patients, and examine why giving the same jewelry to different partners is never okay. We break down the most awkward engagement party entrance ever, question the ethics of multiple professional boundary violations, and debate whether certain beliefs are required to truly be part of a religion.

Plus, we debate whether living multiple lives is a beautiful belief system, share why Peter now has raw chicken trust issues, and reveal which character relationship we're actually rooting for despite the messiness.

Peter and Amanda check out a new series on Netflix called Better Late Than Single, a South Korean dating show featuring "eternal singles" - people who have never dated before. We break down why this might be the dating show of the year for Peter.

We discuss the refreshing differences between Korean and American dating shows, particularly the lack of pressure to get married in three weeks. We analyze the painful love circles where everyone likes someone who doesn't like them back, including one contestant's desperate attempt to hide in the grass when confronted. We examine the competitive drinking disaster that ruined a double date, the three-hour conversation that suffocated any chance at romance, and the shocking reversal that left everyone stunned.

We share our thoughts on the contestant who received devastating online hate despite seeming genuinely well-intentioned, discuss the multiple support groups formed by women pursuing the same man, and laugh about the contestant who chose food over heartbreak. We gush over the Cupids - the mentors whose commentary made the show - and their perfect reactions to every cringe moment.

We explore cultural differences in physical affection, the importance of remembering deeply personal confessions, and why one contestant's savior complex may have influenced his choices. Plus, we attempt (and fail spectacularly) to pronounce everyone's names correctly and discuss why this show left us feeling good unlike other dating shows we've covered.

Peter and Amanda have reached the conclusion of Love is Blind Season 9 in this reunion episode and we hold nothing back about our frustrations with this historically unsuccessful season.

We break down the awkward staged entrances and dissect each couple's couch time, starting with the surprisingly mature handling of one relationship that involved a secret pregnancy revelation. We discuss the uncomfortable ring competition that had us cringing, analyze the exhausting victim mentality displayed by certain cast members, and question why people who never left the pods were even given stage time.

We examine the repeated apologies for love bombing, the glossing over of major relationship issues, and share our thoughts on which cast members seemed to be there purely for fame versus those with genuine intentions. We get heated about the self-serving behavior, the projection, and the complete lack of accountability from multiple parties.

We wrap up by discussing the elephants in the room that Netflix refused to address - from drinking problems to this being the first season with zero marriages - and share why this might be our last US season of the show. Plus, we reveal which cast member wins our award for "most punchable face".

Peter and Amanda jump back into the latest episodes of The Amazing Race 38 and Survivor 49.

In The Amazing Race, we break down the Croatia leg where teams faced the brutal challenge that had contestants gagging. We discuss the controversial double U-turn that sparked accusations of gender targeting. We analyze the chaotic building challenge that saw multiple teams neck-and-neck together and share our thoughts on the incredibly emotional elimination.

For Survivor, we can't hold back our feelings about overconfidence and the toxic dynamics of the former Uli tribe. We examine attempts to build bridges within the new tribes, aggressive pre-dawn game talks that rubbed everyone the wrong way, and questionable decisions to sabotage the advantage challenge. We discuss masterful social maneuvering, and an immunity challenge leads to a reward that takes a dark turn when teams receive chickens. We wrap up with our frustration over the foolish elimination choice.

Peter and Amanda recap the Love is Blind Season 9 wedding episode, and spoiler alert: we're not okay. We break down our "vow theory" that perfectly predicted who would say yes and who would walk away, but nothing could prepare us for the absolute chaos that unfolded at these altars.

We discuss Ali and Anton's relationship, examining double standards around drinking, the bougie friend commentary, and questions about what really matters in a partner, Edmund and KB's emotional chaos, discussing abandonment issues, the cruelest terminology we've heard on reality TV, and the emotional weight of unresolved trauma, and we are shook over Megan and Jordan's situation that had us questioning everything about lifestyle compatibility, what it means to date a single parent, and whether "simple" is actually an insult or a compliment.

We complain about Netflix's questionable editing practices that might be forcing couples to re-film breakups for the cameras, and why being a devoted parent somehow became a liability instead of a green flag.

Fair warning: this episode is fueled by righteous anger and PMS-induced rage. We're not holding back our opinions about who deserved better and who needs a serious reality check.

There are spoilers for the reunion at the end of the episode, but we give fair warning before they start, so listen closely!
