    Claire is out sick, so the wonderful Kelsey McKinney joined me to recap the “Traitors” finale! Go order her book! Also: THIS EPISODE CONTAINS SPOILERS!

    During this season of “The Traitors,” a 10+ year dedication to Bachelor Nation finally payed off. The people have discovered Gabby Windey — but us real ones (a.k.a. “Bachelor(ette)” fans — knew all along.

    Emma is officially a married woman! (Or, as she likes to think of herself, an appendage.) She and Adam tied the knot this weekend at Shun Lee West, a Chinese restaurant on the Upper West Side, in a Jewish ceremony that artfully mingled tradition with their own unique personalities and values. Emma looked like …

  • 'The Traitors' E7-8: Tom Sandoval's Star Turn
    Feb 16 2025

    There are few reality TV moments that truly break through amidst all the pop culture noise. But I think we can agree that Tom Sandoval holding one ear closed so he can sing backwards nursery rhymes — with vibrato — into a phone booth is one of them.

    We get into Sandoval’s triumphs as well as Boston Rob’s downfall and some sad murders in this episode. (Plus — our girl Gabby Windey continues to T-H-R-I-V-E!!!)

    Halfway through the third season of “The Traitors” US, one thing has become clear: This game is in a shambles. The Traitors are demoralized and divided, unable to pursue any real strategy because they hate each other more than anyone else in the house. It’s unclear that many of the Faithfuls even really care that much about …

    Last night, we were on the YouTube front lines — alongside 250k other people — to see what former “Bachelor” winner Rachael Kirkconnell had to say about her very fresh breakup. Because if there’s a woman who’s in need of a comfy couch, a matching sweat set, and some tea spilling, Alex Cooper is gonna rise to the occasion and offer all three.

  • How We're Going To Stay Sane Under Trump

    With Donald Trump officially back in office, and a flood of abhorrent executive orders and public displays of fascism already grabbing our attention, we couldn’t focus on anything else this week. We decided to check back in — with each other and with Sami Sage (co-founder of Betches, host of The Morning Announcements and American Fever Dream, and author of Democracy in Retrograde) — to discuss how we’re filtering through the firehose of bad news, how to avoid expending energy on endless outrage consumption and anxiety wheel-spinning, and what is worth putting our energy toward.

  • 'XOKitty' S2 Is Norm-Girl Wish Fulfillment
    Jan 17 2025
    This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit claireandemma.substack.com

    Ah to be young… and quirky… and have every boy and girl in your vicinity find themselves falling, a little or a lot, in love with you. This is the world of Kitty Song Covey, the heroine of Netflix’s “XOKitty,” a spinoff series of the TATBILB trilogy.

    It’s often hard to stick the landing during the second season of a hit show, and “XOKitty” season 2 definitely wobbles. However, “XOKitty” keeps its core charms: its K-drama-inspired flourishes, its casual queerness, its resistance to pigeonholing Kitty into having a clear “endgame” love interest, and its delicious sweetness. We discuss it all in this episode. Hope you enjoy! As Kitty would say… Xo
