Peter and Amanda check out a new series on Netflix called Better Late Than Single, a South Korean dating show featuring "eternal singles" - people who have never dated before. We break down why this might be the dating show of the year for Peter.
We discuss the refreshing differences between Korean and American dating shows, particularly the lack of pressure to get married in three weeks. We analyze the painful love circles where everyone likes someone who doesn't like them back, including one contestant's desperate attempt to hide in the grass when confronted. We examine the competitive drinking disaster that ruined a double date, the three-hour conversation that suffocated any chance at romance, and the shocking reversal that left everyone stunned.
We share our thoughts on the contestant who received devastating online hate despite seeming genuinely well-intentioned, discuss the multiple support groups formed by women pursuing the same man, and laugh about the contestant who chose food over heartbreak. We gush over the Cupids - the mentors whose commentary made the show - and their perfect reactions to every cringe moment.
We explore cultural differences in physical affection, the importance of remembering deeply personal confessions, and why one contestant's savior complex may have influenced his choices. Plus, we attempt (and fail spectacularly) to pronounce everyone's names correctly and discuss why this show left us feeling good unlike other dating shows we've covered.

Peter and Amanda have reached the conclusion of Love is Blind Season 9 in this reunion episode and we hold nothing back about our frustrations with this historically unsuccessful season.
We break down the awkward staged entrances and dissect each couple's couch time, starting with the surprisingly mature handling of one relationship that involved a secret pregnancy revelation. We discuss the uncomfortable ring competition that had us cringing, analyze the exhausting victim mentality displayed by certain cast members, and question why people who never left the pods were even given stage time.
We examine the repeated apologies for love bombing, the glossing over of major relationship issues, and share our thoughts on which cast members seemed to be there purely for fame versus those with genuine intentions. We get heated about the self-serving behavior, the projection, and the complete lack of accountability from multiple parties.
We wrap up by discussing the elephants in the room that Netflix refused to address - from drinking problems to this being the first season with zero marriages - and share why this might be our last US season of the show. Plus, we reveal which cast member wins our award for "most punchable face".

Peter and Amanda jump back into the latest episodes of The Amazing Race 38 and Survivor 49.
In The Amazing Race, we break down the Croatia leg where teams faced the brutal challenge that had contestants gagging. We discuss the controversial double U-turn that sparked accusations of gender targeting. We analyze the chaotic building challenge that saw multiple teams neck-and-neck together and share our thoughts on the incredibly emotional elimination.
For Survivor, we can't hold back our feelings about overconfidence and the toxic dynamics of the former Uli tribe. We examine attempts to build bridges within the new tribes, aggressive pre-dawn game talks that rubbed everyone the wrong way, and questionable decisions to sabotage the advantage challenge. We discuss masterful social maneuvering, and an immunity challenge leads to a reward that takes a dark turn when teams receive chickens. We wrap up with our frustration over the foolish elimination choice.

Peter and Amanda recap the Love is Blind Season 9 wedding episode, and spoiler alert: we're not okay. We break down our "vow theory" that perfectly predicted who would say yes and who would walk away, but nothing could prepare us for the absolute chaos that unfolded at these altars.
We discuss Ali and Anton's relationship, examining double standards around drinking, the bougie friend commentary, and questions about what really matters in a partner, Edmund and KB's emotional chaos, discussing abandonment issues, the cruelest terminology we've heard on reality TV, and the emotional weight of unresolved trauma, and we are shook over Megan and Jordan's situation that had us questioning everything about lifestyle compatibility, what it means to date a single parent, and whether "simple" is actually an insult or a compliment.
We complain about Netflix's questionable editing practices that might be forcing couples to re-film breakups for the cameras, and why being a devoted parent somehow became a liability instead of a green flag.
Fair warning: this episode is fueled by righteous anger and PMS-induced rage. We're not holding back our opinions about who deserved better and who needs a serious reality check.
There are spoilers for the reunion at the end of the episode, but we give fair warning before they start, so listen closely!

Peter and Amanda are back to cover The Amazing Race 38 and Survivor 49, which is full of double standards and... blackheads? We break down the horrifying racism Jag, Jace, and Joseph faced in Hungary, watch Kat have a complete meltdown over eight-count dancing, and celebrate Joseph's beautiful popcorn muscles that couldn't help him juggle for shit. On Survivor, we witness the Kele curse being lifted, watch Sophie demand steak instead of "diet food", question why anyone gets mad when people play the game, and discuss if anyone actually likes people who call themselves God.

Peter and Amanda are back to break down two more Love is Blind episodes, and wow, was it a lot. We dissect Anton's thirty-drink-in-ten-days situation and why lying about drinking is worse than the drinking itself, unpack Netflix's diabolical editing of Annie and Nick's conversation about being gay (and why that's genuinely harmful), watch Joe fumble his way through the world's most uncomfortable family dinner, and witness the breakup we all saw coming from a mile away. Plus, KB and Edmund continue their cycle of miscommunication on mountaintops, Jordan drops truth bombs about Luca and Legos, and we discuss why Madison needs to stop acting like good sex is a reason to stay with anyone.

Peter and Amanda switch gears to cover their first real seasons of The Amazing Race and Survivor 49. We break down why The Amazing Race feels flavorless compared to Destination X, celebrate Enzo eating raw fish and going home first (shocking no one), and discuss why cheating apparently isn't against the rules in Survivor. We dive into Jake's bizarre "no homo" disclaimer, debate whether missing your child's birth for reality TV is ever acceptable, and explore Jeff Probst's trolling energy at tribal council. Plus, we compare the strategic differences between Big Brother and Survivor, question why the blue team is cursed, and admit we have no idea what we're talking about yet (but we're learning).

Peter and Amanda are back in Denver with the couples, and we're starting with an apology to Nick's mom. We break down the meet-the-parents episodes, Ali and Anton's manufactured drama about strip clubs and beer, Megan's anxiety spiral over meeting Jordan's ex and son, and Madison's problematic claims about developing an eating disorder (spoiler: we're calling bullshit). Plus, more drunken disasters at the final party, Mike getting absolutely destroyed by Megan in the best way possible, and why KB might be the only smart one for not sleeping with her fiancé. We also discuss whether Joe actually likes Madison at all and update our altar predictions.

Peter and Amanda are back to break down the Baja vacation episodes, and things got messy fast. We dissect Jordan's drunken party behavior that has Megan reconsidering everything, Edmund's complete emotional meltdown over not having "the deep sex" (yes, really), and Joe's blackout disaster that left Madison trying to have a rational conversation with someone who didn't even know what planet he was on. Plus, Ali and Anton continue being impossibly classy while Nick and Annie remain perpetually uninteresting. We also dip our toes into our very first season of Survivor and discuss whether shameless cheating is just part of the game.

Peter and Amanda dive headfirst into the chaotic pods of Love is Blind Season 9, and let's just say—it's a mess. From instant engagements to ghosting, questionable declarations, and some truly uncomfortable moments (we're looking at you, Patrick), this season is already off the rails.
We break down sparkly Megan's three-way dilemma, Nick's suspicious vibe, Casey's brutal rejection, and why Edmund might be our favorite weirdo of all time. Plus, predictions for who's making it to the altar (spoiler: not many).

Before we dive into the drama, let us introduce ourselves. This is Marriage of Minds—where Peter and Amanda turn their nightly couch commentary into something you can actually listen to. In this intro episode, we explain what this podcast is (and definitely isn't), why we're doing it, and what you can expect when you hit play. Fair warning: we're profane, opinionated, and we say what we think. If that sounds like your kind of vibe, welcome to our couch.
