    7-22 REALITY DIGEST | In the City FINALE, The Valley, Below Deck Med, The Ultimatum

    All good things must come to an end and in this case that’s Love Island. But where one toxic show makes its exit, another makes its entrance in the form of The Ultimatum. This show has a knack for producing some of the worst men we’ve ever seen. Speaking of the worst, we’re feeling similarly about the In The City finale. I believe the word we both used was LAME. Let’s just hope the reunion makes up for it. Although we do believe the casting department found one of the most unintentionally shady cast members we’ve ever seen. We would also like to request for yet another week that the casting department of The Valley take a good long look in the mirror. This show is getting out of hand and justice for the lack of Jasmine and Melissa's wedding content. Finally, we discuss Luke/Puke’s diabolical male behavior amongst the Below Deck crew this week and we throw around some theories as to why he is the way he is.  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.

We break down their history together and what happened after everyone caught on to some potential tension between this dynamic duo. We’ll talk about the very unsatisfying ending and talk through some of our own theories on the matter.

    7-16 REALITY DIGEST | Love Island FINALE, In the City, The Valley, RHORI Reunion Pt 2, Below Deck Med

    This week we are laying a couple of shows to rest. Until next summer, Love Island. It’s been real and we couldn’t be more thrilled for Byrce and Trinity. Plus, we share our predictions on who is going to still be together by the reunion. We’re hesitant about how RHORI is going to move forward considering how many of the women literally HATE each other. We also can’t say we’re sad about a certain cast member making her exit from the show. Speaking of, The Valley as a whole is on life support as far as we’re concerned and should be on the road towards cancellation. At this point the only person we like is Schwartz. We can’t believe it’s come to this. We fear that In The City is on a similar path but we’re willing to stick it out because at least they’re giving us something new to talk about. We’re curious if Lindsay Hubbard is tired from carrying the entire show on her back. Rounding things out with possibly the best reality currently on TV. Below Deck Med is giving us everything we want and more. This season even has us rooting for a certain bachelor that we never thought we’d warm up to.  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!

    7-1 REALITY DIGEST | Love Island, In the City, The Valley, RHORI FINALE, Below Deck Med

    We’ve officially said good riddance to Summer House and honestly we’re grateful because it was taking up too much brain space. And we really needed that space to focus on Love Island because it’s a full time job! Although, this week was a bad look for A LOT of the cast. But we could certainly say the same for The Valley cast as well. We fear this show is working its way towards the chopping block for us and liking Jessie better than some of the other cast was NOT on our list of predictions. We discuss how we’re unsure that the ensemble cast spinoffs are not really working - case and point: In The City. The RHORI reunion delivered this week and of course our favorite show at the moment is our beloved Below Deck Med. We may not know all of their names yet but we know this is shaping up to be a good season.   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!

    HARRY AND MEGHAN: the drama that followed their exit

    Welcome to Pop Cult: The Fame Files This week we are breaking down the extremely lengthy…situation, if you will, between former royals, Harry and Meghan and the institution that is the British Royal Family. And boyyyyy is there a lot to discuss. We are getting into all of the details about why they left, how it was possible, what it means now and of course, the drama that it stirred up. And one thing about the Royal Family is that they LOVE a statement.  The Fame Files is part of Pop Cult, where we unpack pop culture’s biggest stories, scandals, and icons.

    06-24 REALITY DIGEST | DCC America’s Sweethearts S3, Love Island, In the City, The Valley, RHORI FINALE, Summer House, Below Deck Med

    When one show ends another one always seems to pop up in its place. DCC season 3 did NOT disappoint and we were SAT for all the tea and of course Judy and Kelly’s cutthroat behavior. We were happy to see the RHORI women end their season on a good note….although we don’t anticipate it staying that way. We’re grateful to Casa Amor for making its appearance as Love Island was feeling more like Snooze Island. In The City continues to rank at the bottom of our shows - and that’s saying something considering how we feel about 75% of The Valley cast. We’re sooooooo happy to have yet another Below Deck season on our TVs and we anticipate certain members of this cast to cause A LOT of drama for us to discuss.
