    LIARRRR!!!! (pt 1): khloé kardashian deserves better

    Welcome to Pop Cult: The Fame Files This scandal has recently been on our minds with The Girls premiering on Hulu and one member of this incident recently getting married, with a very curious character in attendance. We are diving into one of the many cheating scandals among Khloé and Tristan’s relationship, however this one was shocking because the 3rd party, Jordyn, was basically like family to the Kardashians. We get into relationship history, the incident itself from both sides, and the fallout.  The Fame Files is part of Pop Cult, where we unpack pop culture’s biggest stories, scandals, and icons.

    8-26 REALITY DIGEST | The Girls PREMIERE, House of Stassi, The Valley REUNION, Below Deck Med, DWTS The Next Pro

    We’re feeling on top of the world this week because after 21 weeks of, honestly psychological torture, we are officially DONE with The Valley. This show is on THIN ICE with us for season 4. Where one show ends another one allllwaaaays begins. This time is Khloe Kardashian’s solo debut, The Girls. We’re not so sure how we feel quite yet but we do give Hulu their props for making reality tv feel fresh and new. Speaking of, House of Stassi is currently imploding from within itself and we’re feeling like we shouldn’t be watching these Stassi and Beau scenes. But the show we can’t tear our eyes away from is Below Deck Med because WOW how the mighty have fallen. Nathan should be quaking in his boat shoes coming back to this deck crew. And finally, The Next Pro is getting down to the wire and we’re pretty sure we know who is going to take home the win. 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.

    JULIANNE HOUGH: celebrity deep dive

    Welcome to Pop Cult: The Fame Files In anticipation of the upcoming season of Dancing with the Stars we wanted to do a celebrity deep dive on one of the fabulous, albeit sometimes chaotic, hosts. We talk about Julianne’s childhood and long history in the ballroom dance world, her successes, and relationships. We get into all of it.  The Fame Files is part of Pop Cult, where we unpack pop culture’s biggest stories, scandals, and icons.

    8-19 REALITY DIGEST | Let’s Marry Harry FINALE, House of Stassi, The Valley REUNION, Below Deck Med, DWTS The Next Pro

    If there’s one thing Harry Jowsey is NOT going to do it’s keep us on our toes. We’re p sure he’s already “divorced” which is the most unsurprising news of the week. Nonetheless, we will still be watching the reunion of course. Speaking of divorce, we’re hoping that our stars of House of Stassi are not headed that way because we ship them. We also ship Katie and Kristina and feel that they can overcome this rift. Unlike the entirety of The Valley cast who clearly all hate each other because they simply know too much at this point. Might be time to throw in the towel - similarly to Nathan’s bosun career. We fear Joe is coming for his job and that Gen is about to lose hers. We’re having a ball speculating who will win The Next Pro and are starting to understand Shirley Ballas’s cutthroat nature.  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!

    72 DAY MARRIAGE: kim k and kris humphries

    Welcome to Pop Cult: The Fame Files This week we’re throwing it back to 2011 to unpack one of the most dramatic and shortest celebrity marriages. We dive into how they met, the issues leading up to their marriage, and the divorce that we were all expecting, just maybe not quite so soon.  The Fame Files is part of Pop Cult, where we unpack pop culture’s biggest stories, scandals, and icons.

    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.

    #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.
