INDUSTRY PLANTS: the origin of

Welcome to Pop Cult: The Fame Files In our first rendition of “the origin of” we are talking about Industry Plants. What is an industry plant? Are they actually real?

05-19 REALITY DIGEST | Farmer Wants a Wife, The Valley, RHORI, Summer House, Below Deck Down Under

This week our favorite farmers are losing women at rapid rates this week and truly are keeping us on our toes - but they’re mostly all on our good side…..for now. On the contrary it’s everything The Valley men can do to keep themselves out of our metaphorical prison cell. Danny, we’re looking at you. Speaking of terrible men, it’s finally been confirmed that Kyle Cooke does in fact have a Napoleon Complex. Glad we could clear that one up. What we’re still not clear on though is everything that has to do with Rulla and Kelsey. We’re starting to wonder if the RHORI women realize that this show is supposed to be about their actual lives. And of course the highlight of our week is watching our favorite yacht crew disintegrate in front of our eyes. There’s no telling how this yacht season is going to end. Reality Digest is part of Pop Cult, where we break down the wildest moments in reality TV and the week’s biggest celebrity stories.  Join us on Thursday for The Fame Files! Every week we do an episode on a pop culture moment. Be it a celebrity scandal, court case, deep dive or general pop culture phenomenons throughout the years.
