Ashley may be in Virginia, and Nick may still be in New York, but that doesn't mean these two can't be united by their one true love... reality TV. Ashley is spending the week with her grandparents and navigating the risky waters of watching television in "real time." So far, she's been intrigued (and then disgusted) by Swamp People and has fallen head over floorboards for Fixer Upper. Joanna Gaines had a cold sore on national television, for Christ's sake! What's not to love? Meanwhile, Nick is taking advantage of Ashley's absence to catch up with his girls: Vanderpump Rules and The Real Housewives of New York. Listen up as they debate the merits of bugs and why watching a family fall apart can be so entertaining.

Oh boy, it’s time for another Vendettas recap! Mercenaries baby! They came, they saw, they kicked butt. We get maybe the greatest elimination in Challenge history. How tight is the alliance between Marie and Kam? Are Marie and Jemmye tight?? A lot of these questions are answered...kind of! Long story short, this episode is so dang good.

With the help of comedian Robert Dean, Ashley and Nick wander the dark forest of reality TV: older man reality shows. From Survivor Man to American Pickers, they talk about the evolution of the “survival theme” genre, reality shows that teach you about stuff, and the difference between an “information show” and a reality show according to Nick. Will they make it out of the woods in time to watch Goldrush or Survivor? Tune in to find out.

Hell yes, it’s time to recap the seventh episode of The Challenge: Vendettas. And what did we learn? Who wrote the note, the fact that Kyle needs to stop calling women bitches and Ashley’s wish to have Aneesa on the show is a real life dream come true. Also, #RIP Veronica’s finger, #RIP Natalie’s game strategy, and #RIP Johnny Bananas’ integrity! Enjoy!

Oh snap! Julia Solomon is on the show dropping serious reality tv knowledge! Julia talks about what she learned from Little Women Atlanta. She also tells us how she identifies with Siggy Flicker and we reminisce about Flava of Love. Plus, Ashley ordered fries. (special cameos by Jacqueline Novak and Charles Gould)

It’s all about the note. Who wrote it? What do they want? Why do they only have pink paper??? And can the Reality Blows Podcast settle this once and for all: is it oiled down or oiled up? PS Nick thinks Shane is shitty and Ashley thinks the blur is a man. Also, where is Aneesa?

Ashley and Nick had two very different Super Bowl Sundays. This episode is mostly about the Jersey Shore and then Nick says something really horrible right at the end. Enjoy!

If you’re the company you keep, then Reality Blows is a bottle of wine. This recap of The Challenge: Vendettas is all about who you know and who you’re wiki g to protect. Will season favorites stay top dawgs in Reality Blow’s eyes? Will social media feuds matter at all? And IS Aneesa on this show or what? Where the hell is Aneesa?

Top Chef drama, a Reddit feud, and the time a producer for Man Vs. Food was at a bar show in deep Brooklyn. There's no special guest this episode, just Ashley and Nick touching base with each other and revealing some personal info about Bobby Flay. Tune in!

It’s recap time!! Episode 4 of The Challenge: Vendettas has been lovingly recapped for you by Ashley and Nick. Did #pizzagate live up to its hype? Is Tony a sympathetic character again? And where the hell is Veronica? This and more on this episode of Reality Blows.
