    2-17 REALITY DIGEST | LOVE IS BLIND S10, Traitors Ep 9, Below Deck Down Under, Summer House, VPR Reboot

    We never fret too much when Love Is Blind ends, because we know Netflix will hit us with a new season basically instantly. Ohio certainly has not disappointed…yet. We will admit, we had our hesitations but we’re locked in. Traitors is starting to give us serious anxiety, in part due to Eric possibly being the worst Traitor of all time - TBD on that one. The sous chef on Below Deck is making us feel better about our own incompetencies on the job. Summer House is showing that the final answer to the age old question “do men ever change” is in fact, no. VPR was actually our tame show this week with the absence of a certain someone, but we’re sure that won’t last long. 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! This week’s episode breaks down the very odd situation between Olympic Figure Skaters, Tonya Harding and Nancy Kerrigan - in honor of the Winter Olympics. Who else only watches Figure Skating and Women’s Gymnastics? Oh, and Equestrian, if you’re Julia.  Follow us on socials!

    TONYA HARDING VS NANCY KERRIGAN: “the whack heard around the world”

    Welcome to Pop Cult: The Fame Files To celebrate the start of the 2026 Winter Olympics we’re bringing you one of the most notorious Olympic scandals and throwing it back to 1994. That one fateful day when an innocent competitor was attacked at practice, figure skating was changed forever…but who would do this to her?

    2-10 REALITY DIGEST | Traitors Ep 8, Below Deck Down Under PREMIERE, Summer House PREMIERE, VPR Reboot

    It’s a very big week because we had not one, but TWO premieres!!!! We’re missing our Below Deck Med cast but we’re warming up to Down Under and are wondering if we, too, can become a sous chef without knowing how to cook??? You could cut the tension in the Summer House with a knife….Amanda and Kyle we’re looking at you. Angelica might be the most annoying person on VPR and this is a show where Scheana Shay was a main cast member for 11 seasons. Call us crazy but we seem to be in the minority on our Traitor’s opinions. We’re only human after all and in case anyone needed a reminder: it’s just a game!!!!!!!!!!

    TYRA BANKS: celebrity deep dive

    Welcome to Pop Cult: The Fame Files Tyra Banks was the face of the cultural phenomenon that was America’s Next Top Model. Television that truly only rivals that of Vanderpump Rules in our humble opinion. But who is Tyra outside of ANTM? We get into all of it - her upbringing, VERY successful modeling career, her ice cream endeavors, and OFC some of her missteps as a host of nearly 15 years.  The Fame Files is part of Pop Cult, where we unpack pop culture’s biggest stories, scandals, and icons.

    2-3 REALITY DIGEST | Traitors Ep 7, RHOSLC Reunion PT 3, Below Deck Med FINALE, VPR Reboot

    The depression is sinking in because we lost two shows this week. Rest in Peace the women of Salt Lake City and our Mediterranean crew…….for now. We debate on whether Rob deserves our grace and forgiveness for his behavior on Traitors and we’re kindly asking that the VPR staff step it up with spreading rumors about each other. That’s what being on reality TV is all about, after all. 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! This week’s episode is our very first celebrity deep dive on none other than Tyra Banks - aka the icon that brought us America’s Next Top Model. We get into her career, life, and the many moments throughout her time on our TVs that had our eyebrows raised. Follow us on socials!

    THE BLING RING: teenage criminal masterminds?

    Welcome to Pop Cult: The Fame Files The year was 2008. A much simpler time where social media was up and coming and celebrities apparently had zero home security. This was a major flop on their part because a group of troubled teens was able to rob multiple A-list celebs - multiple times - right under their noses.

    1-27 REALITY DIGEST | Traitors Ep 6, RHOSLC Reunion PT 2, Below Deck Med, VPR Reboot, SLOMW REUNION

    WAR IS OVER! We’re done covering Mormon Wives….for a month. Pls give the husbands zero screen time next season - we’re begging. Something is in the air in Utah because part 2 of the RHOSLC finale had us gobsmacked and wondering if there might be a housewife switcheroo next season. We’re about to trade our friends in the Mediterranean out for our friend down under but not before we leave Joe and Kizzi with some more choice words. The new Vanderpump cast has us seriously questioning the legality of some of their extra-curriculars. And finally, Traitors has us on the edge of our seats and about ready to fly to the castle to banish C*lton ourselves. 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! This week’s episode covers a very niche topic - the millennial mass exodus from Buzzfeed Video and the barrage of “why I left” videos that followed. What on earth was going on at that company?  Follow us on socials!
