Haven’t talked “Temptation Island” all season since we had host Mark Walberg on pre-season. That ends today. I hope to have a few more of them on in the coming weeks. Today we have on Tommy Soltis and Gillian Lieberman, two people who coupled up during the show, but didn’t continue post-show. We find out from both what happened and why, if there’s any chance for a future between them, what are each up to now, things you didn’t see on the show, their thoughts on some of the other couples, etc. Before that (and below), I have some of the latest I’ve heard regarding BIP casting. Obviously it’s not everyone since over 30 people will show up at some point this season, but I give you 3 names that I’ve heard recently. As always, if you’d like to respond to the interview, please include Tommy and Gillian’s Twitter handles (@tommyjsoltis, @gillianalexisxx) in your replies. Thanks again to both for … Continue reading →

Joined this week by a former guest who in the last 6 months has gotten a new job, moving from “US Weekly” to “Variety” as now their Senior TV Features Editor, Emily Longeretta. We talk about that transition, what’s different in what she’ll cover now, our recap of “This is Us’” final season, what her Bachelor Nation coverage will look like now and how it’ll differ from what she did before, a little talk about Colton that I think a lot of people need to hear (without aggregating it), actors doing podcasts covering shows they were on, and much more. Don’t have much new info on “Bachelorette” filming that ended last Friday. Still another 7 weeks before filming starts, and we’ve been doing this long enough now where you should know by now that I never know when I’ll get the final spoiler to the season. So it’s pointless to give a timeline. Once I hear something concrete from sources, you’ll be the first to know. As always, … Continue reading →

Fun times this week as Kate Casey from the “Reality Life” podcast joins me again to discuss all things reality TV in shows that I’m not watching, but I’m guessing a lot of you are. I don’t watch as much reality TV as some of you may think and that’s why I love checking in with Kate every 6 months or so. She can fill me in on the longer stories behind some of the headlines I read. I read the entertainment sites and basically the recaps of things that may happen with certain reality TV people or certain TV storylines, but that’s about it. All surface level stuff though so I know the bare bones minimum. But Kate comes on today and we discuss some of your favorite shows as she offers her expert opinion on them. Before that (and covered below), I give an update on some “Bachelorette” spoilers I recently heard about. As always, if you’d like to respond to the interview, please include Kate’s … Continue reading →
