This Rebel Love

It's January 2020 B.C. (Before Coronavirus), and the first meeting of the TRL Lonelyhearts Club, when the Rebels were feeling restless and uncertain about the future... The braces come out and the gloves come off as we stop being polite and start dismantling the patriarchy. John has a message for the men, while Courtney's past comes back to haunt her. (There's frosting involved, and it's super gross.) "Hi, is this my younger self? Okay, here's what you really need to know..."

When jealousy rears its ugly head, the Rebels play emotional whack-a-mole. We become ethical sluts and - spoiler alert! - aren't immediately struck by lightning. John giggles like a schoolgirl. Courtney sends a pic. It's the end of our marriage as we know it... and we feel effing great.

Crawling out from under the rock of monogamy, we stumble into the blinding light of dating in the digital age. As Courtney turns 39, we confront some hard truths and dig into some tough questions like "What is this thing called Tinder?", "What really happened in Vegas?" and "Just how old is Kim Jong-Un?" We set the relationship roadmap on fire and chart a new course with love as our compass. Who's with us?! ... Seriously, is there anyone out there?

Just how much love are we capable of? Turns out, it's a lot more than we thought. After 17 years of monogamy, John and Courtney embark on a new journey as they open up their relationship and seek to discover what happens when you lead your life with love. This Rebel Love follows their always surprising, often hilarious and occasionally heartbreaking quest week by week.
