  1. The Traitors S4E8 Recap | Who's In Heat?

    FEB 8

    The Traitors S4E8 Recap | Who's In Heat?

    "A Queen Never Comes Off Her Throne" Don't let the door hit you on the way out, bud! It's a dense one, starting with saying goodbye to enemy number one. We get a high-stakes faceoff between Candiace and Rob, making it clear that their teamwork has come to an end. Johnny emerges as the new biggest threat to the Traitors, and there's an opportunity to recruit the perfect Faithful into the turret. PLUS: Confusion over peak cinema, and adult feelings for not one, but TWO television icons.  Watch full video episodes and shorts on Youtube Follow us on Instagram for reels and listener polls

  2. The Traitors S4E7 Recap | It's-A-Me, Maura-O!

    FEB 4

    The Traitors S4E7 Recap | It's-A-Me, Maura-O!

    "The Black Banquet" The highly promoted episode of Traitors Season 4 is out. Us fashion experts break down who wore it best and who missed the mark at Alan's banquet, in addition to who jeopardized their game. It gets a little critical, a little dirty, and surely not passive aggressive in any way. Traitor vs Traitor is officially on with Rob and Lisa butting heads at every turn. A Survivor-esque advantage is thrown into the mix, and we address the conspiracy theory surrounding Rob's intentions for his game as a Traitor (don't f*** this whole thing to oblivion, Rob). We are back to a WEEKLY schedule, so check out our backlog of Survivor 49 and Big Brother 27 if you can't get enough of the podcast once you're all caught up. Hugs and kisses.  Watch full video episodes and shorts on Youtube Follow us on Instagram for reels and listener polls

  3. The Traitors S4E6 Recap | Mr. Magic Marker

    FEB 4

    The Traitors S4E6 Recap | Mr. Magic Marker

    "Planning A Coup" It's time to find out if anyone took a shield, and if there was a murder last night! Johnny starts recruiting for the most powerful group in the game, but can't deliver when it counts. Colton does something so stupid that it makes our heads spin (drink). Ron also proves to the entire castle that they don't deserve him, and Rob may be the only person left who's playing correctly. PLUS: We realize that Meg's future was revealed to her when she was only 10 years old.  Watch full video episodes and shorts on Youtube Follow us on Instagram for reels and listener polls

  4. The Traitors S4E5 Recap | The Shoulders Episode

    JAN 29

    The Traitors S4E5 Recap | The Shoulders Episode

    "If You're Gonna Come For Me, I'll Finish You" We have no idea what day it is because we've emptied our minds of everything besides Traitors and podcasting. There's controversy at the roundtable as Michael vs Colton becomes something much uglier, and we draw parallels to Survivor: Game Changers. Two of the Traitors make their biggest mistake so far, and we take pen to paper to be sure of the perfect choice for murder. PLUS: Matt dresses up as his favorite player and if you listen closely, you can hear him chafing against his outfit.  Watch full video episodes and shorts on Youtube Follow us on Instagram for reels and listener polls

  5. The Traitors S4E4 Recap | Doing It Sticky

    JAN 27

    The Traitors S4E4 Recap | Doing It Sticky

    "Cut The Head Off The Snake" The Traitors have committed a face-to-face murder, but Lisa starts to look suspicious. Colton decides he's running the game and proceeds to play like a dumb f***ing idiot who eats crayons and pees in his pants. Our hearts begin to break for Ron, and the Mount Rushmore of zero sugar sodas is carved out. We recorded this at like 12 AM so it's a bit all over the place, but there's plenty of hate and grossness for all you haters and mastertraitors out there.  Watch full video episodes and shorts on Youtube Follow us on Instagram for reels and listener polls

  6. The Traitors S4E3 Recap | Genital Alliance

    JAN 27

    The Traitors S4E3 Recap | Genital Alliance

    "Show Me Your Faces" The Traitors have murdered in plain sight, but did they choose the right Faithful to remove from the game? An early roundtable reveals the Secret Traitor, and we question if production (drink) should have handled things differently. Meg also takes a victory lap around Colton's failures (drink) and Matt finds a way for Rob, Lisa, and Candiace to play the long game. PLUS: Who could be getting down and dirty inside the castle? Shoutout to you guys, keep spreading the word about the OFFICIAL Traitors recap show. Watch full video episodes and shorts on Youtube Follow us on Instagram for reels and listener polls

  7. The Traitors S4E2 Recap | Strong Eggs

    JAN 21

    The Traitors S4E2 Recap | Strong Eggs

    "The Death Conga" It's the first murder of The Traitors Season 4, which means the first banishment comes next. Porsha is fumbling her words, but Candiace is fumbling her entire act. Colton triggers Meg to new heights - mark it down and keep track! There's also a Murder in Plain Sight, and we change direction in our hunt for the Secret Traitor. How about those Kelce genetics, huh? Recaps of Episodes 3-5 are coming soon, so stick around.  Watch full video episodes and shorts on Youtube Follow us on Instagram for reels and listener polls

  8. The Traitors S4E1 Recap | Haters and Mastertraitors

    JAN 21

    The Traitors S4E1 Recap | Haters and Mastertraitors

    "Let The Cards Fall As They Will" We're back, and it's Traitors time! We kick things off by introducing the cast of The Traitors Season 4 that includes sick gamers, reality darlings, and even a few Problems (you know who). We also try to sniff out the Secret Traitor, and decide who's the perfect Faithful to murder on the first night. Does Donna Kelce's family ties give her a suit of armor unlike any player before her? Will this be the season of the Housewives? Is this the best competition reality show on TV? We'll be dropping recaps of episodes 1-5 over the next few days, so keep an eye on the B&B feed for answers to all of these questions and more gross jokes.
