  • Queen E’s Watch List #1: Love, Lies, and Balloons

    Queen E is in her lover girl era and giving you a peek at what she’s been watching lately.

     

    First up: Love on the Spectrum—real love, real honesty, and Madison and Tyler being absolutely adorable. Then it’s Married at First Sight, where season 18 is crumbling before our eyes—gaslighting, basement apartments, bad vibes, you know the drill. After that, Pop the Balloon—a dating show that’s somehow even messier than it sounds. And finally, a quick shoutout to Got to Get Out, a reality competition that's actually doing something different for once. Queen E’s riding this messy reality TV wave until further notice.

  • Church Drummers, Threesomes & Therapy

    Queen E opens the floor to YOU this week, responding to your takes and questions, and you didn’t hold back! From redemption arcs on Love Island All Stars to casting chaos on Love Is Blind, Sydnee’s near-win on Million Dollar Secret, the absolute mess of Temptation Island (“It was an experiment”... please), and why Real Housewives of Atlanta is just Porsha & Friends at this point—no show is safe. Queen E’s got thoughts, side-eyes, and a few revelations of her own.

  • Sydnee Falkner is in her villain era

    This week Queen E sits down with Million Dollar Secret breakout star Sydnee Falkner for a no-holds-barred recap of the season. Sydnee talks strategy, sabotage, and what really went down with Chris, Cara, Lauren, and those infamous clues. She opens up about being underestimated, navigating alliances, falling (literally) for a $1 million agenda, and why she’ll never shrink herself again—on TV or in real life. Plus: why she passed on Temptation Island, the hate comments she’s ignoring, and what’s next for her post-show!

  • Housewives and Temptation Island: These People Are Unwell *MESSY*

    This week Queen E is diving into the chaos that is Real Housewives of Atlanta—and this episode has everything: shady hugs, fake purchases, wild music, a gun threat (!!), and Kenya peacing out mid party. Then it’s on to the Temptation Island finale, where the threesomes are confirmed, the lies are louder than ever, and somehow Shanté and Brion are still together. Plus: weaponized trauma, a proposal, and why being “strong” isn’t always a compliment. A season finale-sized recap, and you don’t want to miss it.

     

    00:00:00 — Real Housewives of Atlanta

    00:22:46 — Temptation Island

  • The Gaslight Olympics *YIKES*

    Queen E is deep into Real Housewives of Atlanta now, and this week’s episode brings chaos: Drew’s lies, Ralph’s basement monologue, and a nose-themed roast battle that might’ve actually made sense. Then it’s back to Temptation Island, where the men are cheating, gaslighting, and quoting God while doing it. Grant’s in the shower, Brian’s in the bathroom, and somehow they both think they’re victims. The girls? Still trying to hold it together. It’s diabolical—but Queen E is here to break down the break down.

     

    00:01:27 — Real Housewives of Atlanta

    00:25:01 — Temptation Island

  • Love Is Blind, Housewives Are Messy, Temptation Is Real *PURE CHAOS*

    Queen E is breaking down Love Is Blind—again! But this time it’s Virginia’s interview with AD stirring things up: lies, religion, Devin’s mama, and why the whole family might need to sit down. Then it’s on to Real Housewives of Atlanta, where Drew is flying Dennis out and Porsha might be ex-wife number FIVE. Britt’s IVF journey, Kelly’s shocking backstory, and men who just keep draining bank accounts. Finally, Temptation Island delivers the chaos we deserve—threesomes, cheating, and grown adults acting like frat boys on day one. It’s a lot, but Queen E is here to guide you through it.


     

    00:00:00—Love Is Blind

    00:13:02—Real Housewives of Atlanta

  • RHOA’s Dramatic Return & LIB Ben Speaks Out

    This week, Queen E is back and ready to spill! From Love Island All Stars drama to the Love Is Blind fallout and a brand-new Real Housewives of Atlanta obsession, it’s a packed episode. She calls out Casey’s commitment issues, breaks down the latest Love Is Blind mess (are Sarah and Joey a thing?!), and gives her raw reaction to RHOA’s season premiere—Porsha’s divorce, the drama-filled birthday bash, and whether she should binge the past 16 seasons.

     

    Catch me up in the comments: what is your favorite RH franchise and what was the messiest season of RHOA?

     

    [00:00:30] - Love Island All Stars drama

    [00:05:30] - Love Is Blind fallout

  • Love Is Blind Finale and Reunion *REACTION*

    This week, Queen E unpacks the drama-filled Love Is Blind finale and reunion, where breakups, betrayals, and bad decisions took center stage. Sarah and Ben’s relationship imploded (shocker), Monica and Joey’s romance fizzled out, and Devin got called out for ghosting Virginia—but somehow still tried to play the victim.

     

    Then, Queen E dives into the reunion’s messiest moments: Mason and Meg’s post-show friendship, Madison pulling out receipts from her bra, and Nick & Vanessa Lachey finally earning their paychecks with some well-placed shade. Plus, the Mason-Meg-Madison-Alex love square proves that Love Is Blind is really just a game of second choices.

     

    Now that Love Is Blind is wrapped up, what should we recap next? Temptation Island? RHOA? Let us know in the comments!

  • Love Is Blind Reaction: Eps 10-12 *WHO LET THIS HAPPEN?!*

    Queen E is back with a Love Is Blind breakdown, but first—there’s still Love Island All Stars drama to get into! She talks about Omar and Catherine getting snubbed from a UK magazine feature, the weak excuse they gave, and why this kind of thing keeps happening. Then it’s back to the pods—Alex’s shady post-show moves, Mason and Meg’s reunion, and the love square mess that somehow made Madison look like the most normal one. Plus, prenup debates, political red flags, and a couple that might actually love Christmas too much. The weddings are coming—who’s saying yes, who should definitely not, and what Queen E needs to see at the reunion!

  • Love Island: All Stars Finale!/Love Is Blind Eps 1-9 *UNFILTERED REACTION*

    This week, Queen E wraps up Love Island: All Stars and dives headfirst into the messiness of Love Is Blind. First, she breaks down the final days in the villa—from Olivia’s shocking claim that Grace was playing the game to Harriett exposing Olivia for photoshopping herself into a relationship. Plus, Queen E spills on the final recoupling, the fan-favorite couple’s surprise loss, and whether All Stars deserves another season.

     

    Then, it’s time to talk Love Is Blind, where Queen E doesn’t hold back on the season’s biggest controversies. She unpacks Sarah and Ben’s debate over social justice (and whether Ben’s hiding something), Virginia and Devin’s prenup standoff, and David’s exhausting obsession with his ex’s dating history. And of course, she gives her predictions on which couples might actually survive outside the pods.

     

    With juicy reality TV drama on both sides, this is an episode you don’t want to miss!
