Episode 10 - Reality TV Mutiny and Monotony

Episode 11 - Vanderpump Rules - Scandoval 101

Class is in session with Professor Colleen! In this episode we dip our toe into the Vanderpump Rules drama. And as per usual, we end up contemplating the end of reality tv as we know it. Also tune in for a special podcast announcement. Enjoy!

Episode 10 - Reality TV Mutiny and Monotony

Mara and Colleen finally get a chance to talk about Bachelor in Paradise (BIP)! Other shows discussed include MAFS San Diego (potential spoilers there), with The Kardashians sprinkled in. Highlights include lessons that the Bachelor franchise can learn from Love Island and Colleen waxing poetic about social media being the end of reality tv as we know it. Enjoy!

Episode 9 - MAFS Messiness (including Steve and Noi’s Instagram Breakup) From the Cutting Room Floor

At the end of our 8th episode, what started out as a tangential conversation about MAFS Boston’s Steve and Noi’s breakup announcements, ended up running the gamut of all our favorite reality tv topics (MAFS, Bravo, MAFS and Bravo, and The Bachelorette). Enjoy!

Episode 8 - Reality TV in Reverse - Hulu’s The Dropout + Update

This is our first episode with an update — Elizabeth Holmes is in fact pregnant! Mara and Colleen dive into the Theranos story and discuss why there is an appetite for the retelling of all these fraudsters’ stories (e.g. Fyre Festival, Anna Delvey, College Admission Scandal). With the upcoming sentencing of both Elizabeth Holmes and Sunny Balwani, we can’t help but wonder if all of the elements that made Elizabeth Holmes’ story the most intriguing, may also help her receive a lighter prison sentence.

Episode 7 - Reality Therapy - MAFS Boston Wrap Up and Netflix’s The Ultimatum

Mara and Colleen cover a lot of ground in this episode. Highlights include: comparing the Married at First Sight universe to Marvel, predicting that MAFS will soon be airing on Bravo, how self-defeating Alyssa and ultimatums are, and props to Becca Kufrin. And while we are tired of dating reality shows being filmed in Boston, we wouldn’t be surprised if the second season of The Ultimatum is filmed there (or maybe on Long Island). Enjoy!
