Golden Bachelor’s Leslie Fhima Is Ready For What’s Next

Bachelor Nation and Love Is Blind Land have been rocked by two major splits – including an acrimonious divorce between Lydia and Milton of “Love Is Blind” that finally closes the book on a disastrous season 5 (from which zero couples now remain). Then we discuss the entirely unsurprising split between Grant and his “Bachelor” winner Juliana, delivered anticlimactically via Instagram Stories. But it’s not all bad news! Two big “Bachelor” weddings brought the love this week. We dig into it all, plus some thoughts on the “Traitors” season 4 cast announcement.

“Love Island USA” is getting juicy. Huda and Jeremiah are careening towards disaster, two new bombshells enter the villa to try to turn the men’s heads, and we have our first exit from the villa. (We’ll miss you, Belle-dasha. Sort of.) We also are getting some strong redpill vibes from certain men – cough, Ace, cough – and honestly hope that our fave gals get some new dudes in the villa to jump ship to as soon as humanly possible.

Jake Anthony and Matt Marr are two Southern Queens who absolutely love reality shows about lonely hearts looking for love. They recap it all on the Reality Gays podcast, including: TLC’s 90 Day Fiancé, Love is Blind on Netflix, Love After Lockup, and some other shows where the people are just hot messes looking for love.  Matt is a clinical psychologist, and Jake is a life coach and teacher. And they both are shady queens who are boggled at the insane ways some of these people search for love in this world. The only thing more certain than a K-1 Visa or a venereal disease is the fact that Jake and Matt will keep you laughing at these lovebirds while also judging their choices. But none of it is mean, because Matt and Jake get it. At the end of the day, aren’t we all just looking for our little piece of love?  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

A hot new bombshell has entered the villa: Love To See It!!! This is our first time ever covering “Love Island USA,” and the show welcomed us in with the most unhinged choreographed lip sync we could have dreamed of. In the first two episodes of season 7, Ariana Madix introduces us to the 10 original islanders (and two sexy bombshells), and they begin to form connections. They swap spit, bond over “The Alchemist,” become prematurely possessive, and hide important information from each other – all the important components of building long-lasting relationships.

Before we begin our coverage of “Love Island USA” – we did a little cast preview during this episode (!!!) – we had to discuss Netflix’s latest addition to the reality romance space: “Sneaky Links: Dating After Dark.” Hosted by Chloe Veitch, the show follows pairs of people who were once each other’s “sneaky links” (a.k.a. situationships), and challenges them to explore those relationships for real – or just date another hottie who has checked into their shared motel. There’s a lot about the show that doesn’t really work. The structure is murky, the casting is meh, and the goals are confused. However, one thing that it does make clear is that the men are NOT alright.

In recent weeks, *a lot* has happened: Two more “Love Is Blind” babies were announced (AD and Ollie! Lauren and Cam!), Ashley Adionser gave her first interview since separating from husband Tyler Francis (of “LIB” S7), and both Peter Kraus and Cassidy Timbrooks gave candid – exceedingly off-contract – interviews about their time within “The Bachelor” franchise. So naturally, we had to hop on and discuss it all. Come for the Ashley tea, and stay for the production reveals.

It may have taken “Farmer Wants A Wife” a few years to warm up, but after watching the end of season 3 we are ready to declare that this show scratches the itch that old seasons “The Bachelor” once did. In the two-part finale, Farmers Jay, Colton, John and Matt meet some families and then make their final decisions. There are some genuine surprises! And genuine drama! And genuinely romantic moments, despite the fact that there is an overarching dark-sidedness to it the whole enterprise! And throughout it all, Kimberly Williams-Paisley’s outfits get increasingly deranged. Thank you for your service, farmers and prospective wives/farmhands. We truly love to see it.

NYMag Features Writer Rebecca Jennings joins the pod to discuss her new book, “Be The Bombshell: What Love Island Teaches Us About Dating.” We dig into how “Love Island” reflects the hellscape of modern courtship and simultaneously offers an antidote to our app-forward dating culture. (Our main takeaway? Girl, leave your house.)  We also discuss how the show reflects our increasing political polarization, plays into the growing tendency to perform our relationships for external approval, and releases everyone from the tyranny of “the right reasons.” To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.
