We’re into week 2 of Love Island AU, and we’re breaking down all the drama, including Lacey’s extremely annoying behavior, the couples we want to see more of, and how delightful this season is overall. We also talk through the penultimate episode of the Golden Bachelor, which offered us pretty much nothing and just prolongs a season we wish was already over.   We also drop some recent Love Island USA cast tea, revelations from Golden Bachelor Gerry’s recent memoir (as well as Theresa’s reaction), and the HGTV/Bachelor Nation crossover show we cannot wait to watch.   Subscribe, rate, and review wherever you get your podcasts!   Follow us on Instagram: @canistealyouforaminutepod Follow us on TikTok: @canistealyouforaminute   Support the pod at patreon.com/canistealyouforaminute

We wrap up this season of Love Is Blind with a recap of the incredibly disappointing reunion, featuring the basketball matchup no one wanted. We discuss who had the best and worst showings, what substances everyone was on, and why Netflix can’t manage to give us a decent reunion ever.   And Love Island Australia is back! We discuss the first four episodes, including grating influencer accents, women who can’t learn other people’s names, the worst fake teeth ever in the world, off-camera cast drama/tea, and the strongest couple we’ve seen in a long time.   We touch on the Women Tell All, which offered us essentially nothing and less than 10 minutes of Mel, which was maybe the best thing for everyone?   Subscribe, rate, and review wherever you get your podcasts!   Follow us on Instagram: @canistealyouforaminutepod Follow us on TikTok: @canistealyouforaminute Support the pod at patreon.com/canistealyouforaminute

The Love is Blind Denver wedding episode has landed, and we break down every cringeworthy moment, a couple standout family member reactions, and what we think might possibly be the best part of the season. We also discuss the off-camera tea that has emerged about the cast, including who may be announcing their baby at the reunion.   We also discuss Mel’s hometown episode, his likely final pick, who we want for the next Golden Bachelorette, and the weird vibes between the women this season.   Subscribe, rate, and review wherever you get your podcasts!   Follow us on Instagram: @canistealyouforaminutepod Follow us on TikTok: @canistealyouforaminute   Support the pod at patreon.com/canistealyouforaminute

As we approach the final weddings on Love Is Blind Denver, we unpack all the drama from the most recent two episodes, including two breakups, a lot of toxic behavior, and predictions about where we’ll be by the time the reunion airs. We also discuss the complete dismissal of half of Mel’s women on The Golden Bachelor and why we’re hoping this season will end next week.   Subscribe, rate, and review wherever you get your podcasts!   Follow us on Instagram: @canistealyouforaminutepod Follow us on TikTok: @canistealyouforaminute Support the pod at patreon.com/canistealyouforaminute

The horrors in Denver continue on Love Is Blind, and we break down our thoughts on all the couples as they make their way out of the pods and into their cohabitating lives. Who will make it? Who should end it now? And everything in between.

Is this the worst cast ever on reality dating tv? Quite possibly. Are we love the show anyway? Definitely. Love Is Blind Denver is here and we’re giving all of our unfiltered thoughts on this toxic bunch from the Mile High City. We also talk about the underwhelming finale of Love Island Games, and do the shortest recap ever of the latest episode of The Golden Bachelor (because it’s horrible).   Subscribe, rate, and review wherever you get your podcasts!   Follow us on Instagram: @canistealyouforaminutepod Follow us on TikTok: @canistealyouforaminute Support the pod at patreon.com/canistealyouforaminute

Love Is Blind UK Season 2 is done and we break down Kal and Billy’s bad behavior, the shocking crumble of one of the strongest couples, and the real reason Patrick didn’t show up to the reunion. We also talk about why the Photo Booth door isn’t worth the drama, how the season felt both enjoyable and strange, and why we’re excited for the next two Love Is Blind seasons in the US. Also, we discuss the latest big Bachelor Nation news: they’ve announced a cruise!

The Love Island USA reunion was a waste of two hours. Huda wasn’t held accountable, and we’re ready to move on from this season and this cast. We share our thoughts on what’s next for the two remaining couples. And over on Bachelor in Paradise, this was the best episode so far! The show finally gave us real human connection instead of constant game-playing, and we were here for it. We also talk about the worst relationship expert ever and why Keith might be the sweetest dad in the franchise. For Love Is Blind UK, we look at how the couples are handling life in the real world, who should run, and who we think will actually make it to the altar.   Subscribe, rate, and review wherever you get your podcasts!   Follow us on Instagram: @canistealyouforaminutepod Follow us on TikTok: @canistealyouforaminute Support the pod at patreon.com/canistealyouforaminute

We’re calling for the old Bachelor in Paradise to return, because this season has become about everything but finding love. It’s feeling more like a bad version of Survivor, and frankly, we’re not having any fun in Costa Rica. We touch on rumors about the next Bachelorette and share a cheeky idea for who should be the next Bachelor (hint: he’s from across the pond). Over on Love Is Blind UK, we’re glad to see older participants who seem ready for marriage, but why are so many couples getting engaged before saying “I love you”? We break down the love triangles in the pods, Patrick’s splenic intuition, who might go the distance, and what Katisha needs to do to win us back. And in Perfect Match, we’re left wondering why this show hasn’t been canceled yet. It wasted good cast members on a useless format with disappointing results all around.   Subscribe, rate, and review wherever you get your podcasts!   Follow us on Instagram: @canistealyouforaminutepod Follow us on TikTok: @canistealyouforaminute Support the pod at patreon.com/canistealyouforaminute

We’ve got the latest Love Island USA updates, from Nicolandria’s status to Jeremiah and Belle-a dating rumors to Huda’s newest love interest. We’re also recapping Perfect Match Season 3, wondering how many reality dating shows can feature trios of truly despicable men, why we despise most of the couples, and why this season felt over before it began. On Bachelor in Paradise, the gamification has killed the show’s original charm: it’s no longer about love, and we’re debating who, if anyone, deserves the money and which couples might survive post-show. Plus, we talk about the importance of casting in reality dating TV and share our predictions for who might show up on the next Love Island All Stars.   We’re back with all the latest Love Island USA news, including details about JaNa and Kenny’s breakup and updates on the rest of the Season 6 islanders now that they’re out of the villa. Over on Bachelor in Paradise, we’re breaking down all the current couples including who we love, who we can’t stand, and who just might be actual soulmates. And on Love Island UK, we’re digging into The Grafties and all the drama that followed, especially Harry finally getting called out for his behavior. With the finale approaching, we’re sharing our predictions and who we’re rooting for to win it all.   Subscribe, rate, and review wherever you get your podcasts!   Follow us on Instagram: @canistealyouforaminutepod Follow us on TikTok: @canistealyouforaminute   Support the pod at patreon.com/canistealyouforaminute

We’re wrapping up our thoughts on Love Island USA, including the latest chatter about the islanders now that they’ve left the villa. Over on Bachelor in Paradise, the Goldens have officially brought the fun back. We’re breaking down all the current couples, the new twists and turns like the prize money, and who we’re loving (and not loving) this season. And Love Island UK continues to confound us with these diabolical men. With less than two weeks left, we’re making our best guesses about how it might all end. We also talk about some upcoming new reality dating shows, including the ones we can’t wait to watch and those nobody asked for.   Subscribe, rate, and review wherever you get your podcasts!   Follow us on Instagram: @canistealyouforaminutepod Follow us on TikTok: @canistealyouforaminute   Support the pod at patreon.com/canistealyouforaminute

Mary’s friend Sahara joins us this week to break down the latest on Love Island USA, but disaster struck and we lost most of the audio. Cry! We were able to salvage some of our conversation, where we talk about how disappointing this season has been overall, and we share our early thoughts on the drama surrounding Cierra. Even though most of our USA chat is gone, stay tuned until the end of the episode for our real-time reaction to Cierra’s accountability video after she was removed from the villa for a racist social media post.    We also dive into the premiere of Bachelor in Paradise, covering all the major changes to the show, the new cast, who we’re rooting for, and who might be heading down the wrong path.    And finally, over on Love Island UK, the new season is turning out to be a breath of fresh air, much calmer and more enjoyable than the chaos on the USA version. With a great cast and fewer unnecessary twists, the UK version is letting the show unfold the way it’s supposed to.   Subscribe, rate, and review wherever you get your podcasts!   Follow us on Instagram: @canistealyouforaminutepod Follow us on TikTok: @canistealyouforaminute   Support the pod at patreon.com/canistealyouforaminute  

On Love Island USA, both the viewers and the producers seem to have completely lost the plot. The drama and overproduction are exhausting—can we get a moment to breathe? We address the Huda defenders out there and explain why her behavior remains indefensible. Olandria is getting screwed over by the show's editing and twists, and the fallout from the Standing on Business challenge and the worst Heart Rate Challenge we’ve ever seen left everyone worse off. Ace still wishes he were a cult leader, and we’re debating who in the villa is actually there for the right reasons. The public seems to be villainizing the wrong women, and we’ve had some disappointing revelations about Cierra’s past behavior. And don’t get us started on the men piling on Amaya when she’s already down.   Meanwhile, over on Love Island UK, we’re reeling from the shocking dumping of our favorite girl in the villa. Honestly, we only like one man this season, and the UK public keeps hating everyone we’re rooting for. But we do appreciate the slower, more natural pace of this season compared to the overheated chaos on the US side.   Subscribe, rate, and review wherever you get your podcasts!   Follow us on Instagram: @canistealyouforaminutepod Follow us on TikTok: @canistealyouforaminute   Support the pod at patreon.com/canistealyouforaminute

Things are getting chaotic on Love Island USA, and the producers might be taking it too far with their new Casa Amor antics. Why are people who’ve only been in the villa for 24 hours making major dumping decisions? Megan Thee Stallion gave us everything we wanted in her episode, but otherwise, it’s been rough. Huda remains hard to watch and refuses to take accountability, and we’re still unsure what to make of Olandria and Taylor’s connection. Will Nic and Cierra survive Casa? Are there any real connections left in this villa? We’re also asking where Nic and Olandria actually went — are the producers trying to set them up? Ace seems to think he’s running the place, and he and Chelley are clearly faking it. Taylor might turn his head in Casa, and we can’t help but wonder if Jeremiah and Iris had an actual love story brewing. As always, we share our thoughts on the new Casa boys and girls and make predictions for what happens when everyone reunites. Over on Love Island UK, the men are garbage and the women are mean — it’s a bleak combo. Yasmin is wonderfully weird, and while Toni might not be our real-life bestie, her chaotic American energy is exactly what this villa needs. We also weigh in on the recent cast drop for the next season of Perfect Match Season 3.

We’re here to discuss all of this past week’s drama on Love Island USA — and it sure was dramatic! Nic is growing on us, and his connection with Cierra feels promising, but we’re not convinced it’ll last. Huda and Jeremiah continue to suck the life out of the villa, even after their separation, and Iris might not be the solution. We’re mourning Jalen’s exit, confused by Austin and Amaya’s vibe, and annoyed that Charlie was the one sent home after America’s vote. Paige’s mysterious challenge disappearance finally makes sense, and Olandria’s secret room moment had all the boys lining up. Taylor’s time in the villa should probably be over, we’re not sold on Ace and Chelley, and yes — one former islander is headed to The Traitors. Oh, and we now know where one cast member stands politically... and it was a surprise.   Over on Love Island UK Season 12, episodes 1 through 7 are showing early promise. We talk about the major differences between the USA and UK versions, and how the UK still struggles with pacing, casting, and overall show culture. That said, this season is already more watchable than the last. The addition of the first American in the UK villa adds a fun twist, and we break down who we’re enjoying and who we’d gladly see dumped. New show structures are bringing some much-needed spice, but the toxic masculinity among the men remains a glaring issue.   Lastly, we check in on the latest relationship updates following Bravo’s Love Hotel. We also hear from host Joel, who’s already sharing casting ideas for next season.   Subscribe, rate, and review wherever you get your podcasts!   Follow us on Instagram: @canistealyouforaminutepod Follow us on TikTok: @canistealyouforaminute   Support the pod at patreon.com/canistealyouforaminute
