This week on The Confession Club, Mary and Rose discuss mukbang content online. We discuss Nikocado Avocado’s insane social experiment (and how he was always two steps ahead), feeder content and crumble cookie flavours and understand why if Rose takes ozempic she’ll die.

warning: this episode has discussion of EDs, bulimia and anorexia.

this week on our segment confession time where we each reveal a confession about our lives, Rose confessed blocking a boy she added on Snapchat after seeing his face after messaging for a month and Mary revealed how she is a Gale apologist.

during our second segment, where we each give song recommendations, Mary recommended Sunlight by Hozier and Rose recommended Last words of a shooting star audio tree live version by mitski.

This week on The Confession Club Mary and Rose discuss why we think bad boys and psychos are so adored. We discuss why we don’t like Draco and why many people do, role play as slytherin boys (Tom riddle, Theodore nott and lorenzo Berkshire) and wonder if we’ve ever actually liked a boy romantically.

on this weeks episode we are adding two new segments to each episode for the first time! At the beginning Mary and rose both give one confession about their lives - it could be a secret, a funny story or an unpopular opinion. This week Mary confessed reading a 350,000 word Finnick Odair oc ao3 fic and Rose confessed her 1 month long talking stage with a boy she added on quick add.

our second segment is at the end of the episode in which we both give a song recommendation for each other to try, this week Rose recommended red (is my colour) by Imogen and The Knife and Mary recommended WILDFLOWER by Billie Ellish. Next week we are going to debrief what we thought of each others song choices!

This week on The Confession Club, Mary and Rose debrief the To All The Boys Ive Loved Before trilogy. We discuss why we love Lara Jean (the OG limerance letter writing queen), the dating contract LJ and Peter Kavinsky wrote that we ate up, our thoughts on fake dating and revenge p0rn and why we love John Ambrose.

We suffered through 100 chapters of After - the Harry Styles fanfiction that was published and made into 5 films by Anna Todd - so you don’t have to.

This week on The Confession Club Mary and Rose discuss the Wattpad fanfiction ‘After’ and unpack why Tessa and Hardin’s relationship is so toxic. We discuss why we hate Hardin and don’t like Tessa, the romanticisation of toxic relationships and the effect this has on real life relationships.

The problem with this book and the sequels is that there is no acknowledgement that the relationship between Hardin and Tessa is toxic and Hardin is emotionally and psychologically abusing Tessa. As a result this series, which is marketed at 13-16yr old girls finish the book with the idea that this relationship is romantic and something to aspire to - it’s not. This leads to girls getting into toxic relationships which is unhealthy and dangerous. We discuss this on this weeks episode of The Confession Club and much more.

our outro got cut off for some reason but I think it goes without saying that Mary and Rose don’t like the story and acknowledge how detrimental it is.

This week on The Confession Club, Mary and Rose review Bridgerton Season 3 and try to explain why Colin and Penelope’s romance felt undeserved. We discuss why we don’t like Colin, our favourite 19th century white feminist Eloise and how she stood on business by befriending Cressida, our no1 neurodivergent couple (John and Francesca) and our thoughts on LGBTQ+ representation in Bridgerton.

This week on The Confession Club, Mary and Rose discuss the popular Amazon Prime TV show The Summer I Turned Pretty season 1.
