Love to See It with Emma and Claire

“Farmer Wants A Wife” is in full swing, with the farmers going on solo dates to figure out whether they want a wife who stays home with their 2-3 kids, a wife who stays home with their 10 kids, or a wife with an impressive career they can brag about to their grandkids. Plus, we binged the Hulu show “Got to Get Out,” a competition reality show in which reality stars and regular people try to escape a mansion to steal a shared million-dollar prize. It features several Bachelor Nation veterans (including Susan Noles as Most Likely To Botch An Escape), as well as our new reality enemy: a man known as Doodles.

No reality show reflects our current moment better than “Farmer Wants A Wife,” a show about modern city women who dream of living a wholesome life as a tradwife with four kids and raw milk from their husband’s very own cow. And it’s currently back for season three of the current FOX reboot, featuring Kimberly Williams-Paisley as the host (and ultimate former city girl). Also featured: at least one farmer with rizz and questionable politics, innumerable MAGA Barbies doing farm labor in denim minidresses, and even some classic reality TV villains. The first four episodes of this season have been the liveliest since the reboot premiered in 2023, and we’re loving every minute.

“The end of Grant’s “Bachelor” season finds the franchise in turmoil: “The Bachelorette” is on pause indefinitely, the showrunners and EPs have exited amid complaints of a toxic work environment, and no one has any idea how “Bachelor in Paradise” is going to gracefully combine original flavor and Golden contestants. Where does the franchise go from here? Lizzy Pace of the Game of Roses podcast joins us to discuss the chaotic present and uncertain future of Bachelor Nation. But first, we had to sneak in a gossip sesh to catch up on not one, not two, but THREE brewing Bach Nation beefs.” To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

The past few months have brought us a bounty of reality dating shows – and with them, a bounty of reality dating show gossip! For the first part of our show, we’re joined by the TikTok gossip queen behind Storytime with Rikkii and the Reality Receipts podcast, who helps us make sense of all the “Love Is Blind” and “Temptation Island” madness. First, we break down the post-show “Love Is Blind” season 8 drama, including the fallout of Monica calling out Joey and Sara for secretly dating. Then, we react to all the “Temptation Island” tea, along with all the jaw-dropping antics (mainly from Grant) from the unofficial reunion on The Viall Files. Finally, we end with “The Bachelor” news: Grant and Juliana’s post-season press rounds, Litia’s social media ascension, a bunch of ‘Bachelor’ babies, and Katie Thurston’s cancer diagnosis and marriage.

“Temptation Island” has officially moved to Netflix. The reboot quickly shot to the top of our queues, and we finally gave into temptation… to watch a bunch of maladapted men cheat on their girlfriends in Hawaii. We go through the highlights of the season, the way that gender roles play out within the franchise, and, of course, “rhythmic wet slapping.” To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

It’s finale week, and our guy Grant is going through it on his way to a happy ending! He finds himself in a bit of a pickle after he’s told two beautiful, dynamic women – who both “carry themselves” so well! – that he loves them. His good-on-paper girl and his fellow lone wolf are going head to head, and he’s torn. Grant has just a few days to go on some last-chance dates, introduce both Juliana and Litia to his family, and then make the big decision. (Spoiler alert: He does! And some all-time high-quality drama ensues.) To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

Monica Danus’s time on “Love Is Blind” season 8 ended in heartbreak at the altar, and she revealed on the reunion special that the heartbreak only continued after filming wrapped. We had so many questions for Monica about her time on the show and everything that has gone down since. We discuss how she feels about her engagement with Joey after watching the show (and his choice to longboard down the aisle), the fallout from her sister’s skepticism, whether Joey led her on after the wedding, and her explosive revelation that her pod friend Sara and Joey are now dating.

College holds a mythic place in American culture, but behind the polished campus tours and glossy brochures lies a far more complicated reality.

Grant and his final three are in the Dominican Republic for fantasy suites, and it’s a pivotal week – because Grant still barely knows these women. Juliana shows off her down and dirty side, Litia convinces Grant she’s adventurous, and Zoe is once again thwarted in her quest to have a conversation with her possible future husband. But – we do get the FIRST “I love you” of the season. And it comes from Grant! There may be zero narrative tension during Grant’s fantasy suites, but heading into the finale it seems like we may finally get some drama… and some real genuine heartbreak.

Most “Love Is Blind” reunions are basically useless. But 8 seasons in, Nick and Vanessa Lachey actually (mostly) delivered. Or, rather, the women of LIB Minneapolis came correct. They had receipts, and monologues, and striking clarity about their relationships during the show. Plus, the most unsettling update of all: Daniel’s new tattoo of Taylor’s eyes.

As Grant’s breakneck season sprints toward the finale, his former bachelorettes gathered for the traditional Women Tell All special, moderated (sort of) by Jesse Palmer. And it turned out to be another episode of the Carolina Show, as the women rehashed every moment of tepid drama – and Carolina came ready to win every point. Plus, some really exciting stuff! Like… weird Disney film tie-ins… and Grant’s Easter-themed suit… and… bloopers? This whole reunion could have been an email.

The finale is upon us! Four out of five engaged couples make it to the altar, but will any of them actually get married? We discuss the telltale signs that someone is going to say “no” at the altar, some egregious fashion misses from the men, and who we’re rooting for in the aftermath of the season. Plus, we get into some tidbits of gossip ahead of the reunion and our penultimate Friends to Enemies scale!  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

It’s only week 6 of Grant’s journey to find love, and yet somehow we are ALREADY AT HOMETOWNS. We’re whisked away to see the skyscrapers of Manhattan (Zoe) and Chicago (Dina), the mountains of Wyoming (Litia), and the pizza parlor of Newton, Mass. (Juliana). Grant really digs into what he wants from a wife – namely a giant, loving family that he can nuzzle right into.

Now that our “Love Is Blind” squad is back in Minneapolis, real life has officially rocked the couples. Protective – and overprotective – sisters weigh in, and the couples struggle to align on politics, faith, and social justice issues. Dave sets new land-speed records for assholery as he continues to obsess about Lauren’s past situationship – and introduces the audience to his Sex Boss. (His sister, natch.)

It’s week 5 of Grant’s whirlwind journey to find his very own love worthy of a romance book, and already – far too soon – the gang is on the precipice of hometowns. As they explore the streets of Edinburgh and the castles of the Scottish countryside, the women try to show Grant their most vulnerable, supportive, and fun-loving sides. But some of them reach a breaking point with Carolina’s bouts of pouting.

Our LIB couples have officially left the pods! They head off for a mostly blissful trip to Honduras, before being thrown back into real life in Minneapolis. Among the issues that arise: prenups, communal sock bins, knicknacks, sisters, women crying on TikTok, and an alleged ex who seems more like a person desperately trying to get on television. We also update our enemies-to-friends scale and ratings of who will – and should – get married.

It’s week 4 of Grant’s “Bachelor” journey, and apparently we’re already almost done. Only ten women remain as they embark on their international leg in Madrid. And the drama is swirling… around Carolina. Zoe has retreated from villainy, and Carolina has emerged. Plus, Rose is still struggling after her own Carolina drama from last week.

“Love Is Blind” season 8 has begun, and we are moving our LIB coverage over to Love To See It. (Don’t we… love to see it?) Welcome, pod people! In Minneapolis, our daters share some common experiences: going to Catholic school, decorating for Christmas, sometimes wearing sexy Halloween costumes and sometimes wearing silly Halloween costumes, and enjoying popular movies. Plus, there’s an infuriating love square… and at least one contestant with online buzz so bad it ended up on camera.

In week 3 of Grant’s “Bachelor” season, we’re learning more about his unique interests: day trading, dogs, freestyling about private jets, and nurturing women. But which woman is the MOST nurturing? And how will Detective Grant figure it out? By the powers of girl math, we may never know. We also discuss the cultural (and political) impact of the soft girl TikTok trend and her male alter ego: the meme-stock-trading, sports-gambling crypto bro.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

It’s week 2 of Grant’s “Bachelor” journey and this man is definitely is NOT on television to advance his music career. If he showed up with a suitcase full of legal pads covered in song lyrics, that’s just because he loves expressing his emotions! Plus, the women are still writing Mrs. Ellis on their backs. And they’re never ever going to stop.
