Hey Besties! It has been a week since The Traitors finale and no I am still not over it. I have listened to a million hours of content surrounding this season, so much so that I decided to create my own content around it. Instead of just breaking down all the big moments, I decided it would be fun to invite a friend and talk about who we would like to see on the next season. Because lets be honest, i could watch a million seasons of this show! I invited my former work bestie, reality tv fan, and theatre fanatic to the show to join and talk about the reality stars she'd love to see on the show! So join us for a conversation less intense than a roundtable, but just as fun to listen and follow along with! ***Music provided by Riverside***
