Investigating the not-true crimes of your guiltiest pleasures and examining reality TV through a true crime lens.

  1. Slides and Ladders (Squid Game: The Challenge)

    Slides and Ladders (Squid Game: The Challenge)

    What was supposed to be a game of chance became a masterclass in social elimination. In the Slides & Ladders episode of Squid Game: The Challenge, alliances hardened, kindness evaporated, and the group dynamics quietly devolved. This week, we break down the episode that proved the most dangerous part of the game wasn’t the slides, it was the people. As contestants jockeyed for safety, one player’s isolation exposed how quickly adults revert to middle-school cruelty when money and fear collide. Because when the prize is $4.56 million, empathy becomes optional, and cruelty becomes gameplay.

    Karen Huger’s finances take center stage on The Real Housewives of Potomac after a suspicious house sale, a sudden move, and a Washington Post report alleging millions in unpaid taxes. What follows is one of Bravo’s strangest press conferences, a homemade t-shirt, and a feud that pits Karen against the Green-Eyed Bandits. We’re reopening the case of #FreeKaren/#FreeUncleBen and asking: who really committed the crime?

    Minisode 10 - A Brief History of Zingbot (Big Brother with Jack McMahon)

    32 - Rich in Vibes, Poor in Actual Cash (Joe Millionaire)

    Before “catfishing” had a name, Fox invented the blueprint. In 2003, the network unleashed Joe Millionaire, a dating competition built on one giant lie: the bachelor wasn’t a millionaire at all. He was a 28-year-old construction worker named Evan Marriott, handed a tuxedo, a mansion, and a fictional bank account. This week, we investigate the ethical disaster dressed up as a fairy tale. From producers engineering gold-digger hysteria to contestants manipulated under false pretenses, we break down how a network used deception as a plot twist, and how the nation ate it up. Joe Millionaire is the story of how far reality TV was willing to go in the early 2000s… and how one average guy became the face of a million-dollar lie. Was it entertainment, exploitation, or a televised social experiment in cruelty? Have a case or anything else reality TV related you want to hear us cover?

    Minisode 9 - The Frangelico Affair (RHONY)

    In the Season 2 finale of The Real Housewives of New York City, a charity gala turned into a mélange of misdemeanors. When Jill Zarin spotted Bethenny Frankel’s Skinnygirl logo splashed across the Frangelico-sponsored bar, she threw a jealous fit. But was she justified? Was it personal? Or just business? In this week's minisode, we’re unpacking the first cracks in Bethenny and Jill’s friendship.

    30 - The Town That Childhood Forgot (Kid Nation)

    In 2007, CBS premiered a reality show that asked a simple question: Can kids run a town? The answer was chaos. Kid Nation dropped forty children 8-15 years old into a New Mexico ghost town with no parents, no teachers, and no idea what they’d signed up for. What followed was part summer camp, part dystopian experiment, and entirely unethical. This week, we reopen the dusty case file of Kid Nation: the post–Survivor experiment that turned childhood into content. We’ll examine how a network executive’s “social experiment” became a legal and moral nightmare, why parents signed 22-page waivers that read like horror scripts, and how the resulting footage blurred the line between leadership training and child endangerment.

    29 - Operation Beauty: The Surgical Scandal (The Swan)

    In 2004, Fox premiered The Swan, a reality show that promised to turn “ordinary” women into beauty queens through extreme plastic surgery. Each week, contestants went under the knife, into isolation, and through therapy sessions that looked more like interrogations. The final twist? Only one woman would be deemed “beautiful enough” to compete in The Swan Pageant. This week, we unpack the dark anatomy of TV’s most disturbing makeover show. We discuss how producers preyed on insecurities, how surgeons became celebrities, and how a culture obsessed with transformation turned pain into prime-time entertainment.
