    8-12 REALITY DIGEST | Let’s Marry Harry, House of Stassi, The Valley REUNION, Below Deck Med, DWTS The Next Pro

    For a short time we welcome the not-so-masterpiece that Alex Cooper has been hyping up for MONTHS - Let’s Marry Harry. The only conventional thing about the plot of this show is that Harry has in fact NOT changed. At all. We eagerly wait for what we assume to be a very unsurprising ending. On the opposite side of the spectrum is currently our favorite show with Queen Stassi. And you know what? We really wouldn’t mind being on her payroll at all, contrary to some of her friends. Speaking of friends, or lack thereof, we’re convinced that The Valley feuds are irreconcilable at best and this show is on its last leg. We continue to ride for Queen Kristin and will be taking no further questions. Below Deck Med might just be the best show on Bravo at the moment. We can confidently say we would not want Nathan as our boss either. DWTS had a bit of a sinister aura this episode with Stephanie’s exit. It’s giving production interference if you ask us. Allen is currently our front runner and we think we could be onto something. 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.

    #BAMARUSH: tiktok trend turned tradition

    Welcome to Pop Cult: The Fame Files Each year a fresh-faced group of 18 year olds gears up for the “most important moment” of their college social lives. This phenomenon became known as Bama Rush and later evolved into Rushtok as universities across the country shared the inside scoop of the sorority recruitment process from both sides. Now, every year we scroll on TikTok and watch the endless videos of OOTDs, What’s In My Rush Bag, and synchronized dances as we become way too invested in what house so and so ends up in. In this episode, we dive into how “rushtok” began, what sorority recruitment is actually like, and how this social media phenomenon has evolved since its debut in 2021.

    8-5 REALITY DIGEST | House of Stassi PREMIERE, In the City REUNION, The Valley FINALE, Below Deck Med, DWTS The Next Pro

    This week we bid adieu to the debut season of In The City. We will certainly be watching season 2 but honestly the jury is still out. I think we, along with the rest of the world, have sufficiently beat the Scamanda dead horse and we are happy to announce that we are officially moving on. We wish we could say the same for The Valley but we do in fact have 3 more weeks of what is sure to be a painstaking reunion. The conclusion we have come to is that Janet and Danny both suck and should be fired - much like Luke fired himself from BD Med. It’s the drama for us. Speaking of drama, we’re locked into whatever is bubbling under the surface of the dance floor on DWTS. But mostly we just have a new level of respect for the current pros. All that said, House of Stassi REALLY took the cake this week. Bravo (no pun intended) to the Hulu producers who saw the potential in this seasoned reality star. We feel sure this is to be a wild ride and we’re sat for every bit.

    7-29 REALITY DIGEST | In the City REUNION, The Valley, Below Deck Med, The Ultimatum FINALE & REUNION, DWTS The Next Pro

    This week we’re rounding out one of the most diabolical shows we’ve ever watched. It’s too bad that some of the men from The Ultimatum are back on the market. BEWARE! In The City reunion is giving a bit low budget but we have to say a certain someone did bring her best this time around. We truly cannot wait to have The Valley off of our roster. This is officially the longest show in the history of the world. And we’re at the point of no return with how bad it’s gotten. Below Deck Med and DWTS The Next Pro are breathing life into us though. We are HERE for the dance world drama. New lore unlocked.  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!

    WHERE ARE THEY NOW: disney stars with ‘normal’ jobs

    Welcome to Pop Cult: The Fame Files Another quick little episode this week covering a few former Disney stars who now word in the real world right alongside the rest of us.

    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!
