In this episode, we’re peeling back the layers of reality TV... the shows we love to call “trash,” but can’t stop watching. From Love Is Blind to Vanderpump Rules, we’re exploring why these chaotic storylines hook us, what they reveal about our own friendships, and how they shape the way we navigate loyalty, jealousy, and vulnerability.

We’ll unpack why these stories feel so real, how they mirror our own group chats, and what it means to watch them with emotional intelligence. Not just as entertainment, but as an unexpected window into human nature.

Join us as we break down the archetypes we see onscreen and in real life, spot friendship red and green flags, and explore why analyzing the drama is anything but shallow.

If you’ve ever found yourself cringing at a reunion episode or rooting for the underdog in a group meltdown, this episode is for you. Because sometimes, the messiest shows can be the best teachers.
