Reality Rant

Founded in 2009 during a drunken moment in Las Vegas, the Reality Rant podcast started as a psychotic break. Bill and Eric have since partially gotten their acts together to "abuse all the reality news you can use" in podcast form.

Reality Rant 12/19: Megacast!

Survivor? Right Here. Biggest Loser? Fatties rejoice! Amazing Race? On the double! That's right, it's a Reality Rant megacast! Buckle up as we take you through over an hour of reality goodies. And maybe, just maybe, we won't violate the box.

Reality Rant 11/6: PooP for Flushing

After watching metric crap tons of reality TV, we need to get some things off our chests. For that matter, we just need to drop kids off at the pool. No reality turd is safe... It's time for a PooP cast!

Reality Rant 11/4: Losers at the Ready

And no, we are not talking about ourselves. This time around the trainers got to pick their own teams, and considering the use of two trainer saves so far it seems like the trainers might be a bit attached. Is this new twist a good thing? For that matter, is "Loser" suffering from a huge case of unnecessary celebrity?

Reality Rant 11/2: Survivor, Bloody Survivor

Yup, we're back and we've got PLENTY to say. Is this season better off without Brad Culpepper? How comical was Kat crying? Why doesn't anyone have an immunity idol? And what can you expect once redemption islands selects its returnee?

Reality Rant 10/1: The Amazing (Literacy) Race

Just when you thought it was safe... The Race is Back! You wanna know what else is back? Stunt Casting! The Express Passes! Trickery! Afghanimals?! Oh race, we missed you, but does this season hurt so bad, or hurt so good?

Reality Rant 9/30: Survivor - Death of the Pirate

Well, it happened. Rupert is gone and aside from that the game is more predictable than ever. What is it going to take to shake things up? Will Colton actually quit. Does anyone care? (Hint: We do.) Details inside.

Reality Rant 9/22: Big Bother, and no we didn't forget an "R"

Big Brother is over. Andy won. America lost. Why did this season of Big Brother go down and not in the fun way? Is it the worst season ever? And what effect will this season have on the future of non-returnee seasons?

Reality Rant 9/22: Survivor - Non-Swimmer's edition

New Survivor! YES! Old stereotypes about black people and swimming! Boo! Yup, Blood vs. Water started with a bang, but will the family twist truly make for a more compelling season. Also, was Rupert and idiot for "saving" his wife. And does anyone else believe Colton's crying act?

Reality Rant 9/6: Who-did-it?

Whodunnit? was supposed to be our new "Mole". It didn't quite meet expectations on that front, but for those of you who could get over the fact that there was no real way of guessing the murderer, Whodunnit? was an amazingly entertaining if not campy reality series. Want our final impressions? Just stand right under this chandelier...

Reality Rant 9/6: Casting Special

New Survivor cast! New Amazing Race Cast! Even Hell's Kitchen shenanigans! Amazingly we didn't touch on Biggest Loser here, but now that they've introduced the Trainer Save you can trust we'll get back on the mics.

Reality Rant 8/30: The End of Aaryn

Scary how Aaryn became on of the bigger game players in the BB house. Now she's gone and the last reason to watch the show is pretty much gone too. Some big questions in this cast... Who is worthy of winning? Where's Pandora's Box? AND is Big Brother Scripted?

Reality Rant 8/10: Big Brother Catch-up

Ok, be prepared for a trash-tastic podcast. And by trash-tastic we mean limited gameplay and massive amounts of bigotry and racism. Life is fantastic like that. Especially when you CAN'T EVEN WATCH! THANKS TIME WARNER! Regardless, we''re here to rip the cast a new one. You know you wanna listen.

Reality Rant Double Dose: Who Did What?

AKA Whodunnit... AKA The Mole light... AKA the Ronnie show. Seriously man, stop playing so damn well. We do have a major bone to pick though. How can you do a whole show where the murderer doesn't even know the murders they are committing. That's messed up. The show is still fun, but come on...

Reality Rant 7/19: Aaryn got ZERO votes?!?

OK, now that you are over the title, take a moment and let it sink in. These are the repercussions of her actions. But if you think Aaryn is the most reprehensible houseguest ever in Bill's mind, you've got another thing coming. Have the ladies of BB15 taken control of the house? Who's the real MVP here? And seriously, does anyone believe the winner of this game is pre-ordained in the slightest bit?

Reality Rant 7/4: Big Brother Independence

At some point, freedom of speech needs to be taken to the extreme. And by that we mean CBS needs to show America who these houseguests really are! Two houseguests have already been fired in the real world for their deplorable actions on the BB live feeds, but we have yet to catch a glimpse of this on CBS. Make it happen! Also, a little strategy, but seriously, this cast is full of horrid people.

Reality Rant 6/28: You-Dunnit!

Whodunnit? You did it! Or maybe the butler... Who cares! This is the second (third? fourth?) coming of The Mole, so we automatically love it. But of course that doesn't mean we won't critique it. What's wrong with the campiest reality show on television? Let's find out...

Reality Rant 6/26: Big Brother Where Art Thou?

The summer has officially started and the Chen-bot's batteries are fully charged. How will 16 new idiots, we mean houseguests, fare in the Big Brother house? Can anyone stop Elissa from continuing the Rachel Reilly reign of terror? And how will 3 nominees and the MVP affect or destroy the game?

Reality Rant 5/13: Cochran's Survivor Fantasy

Let's be honest. Cochran only decided to win Survivor because he knew it would make us happy. And by happy, we mean Bill. Let us pay tribute with an HOUR of Survivor coverage where we rip everything from "Teeth-gate", to Rudy's favorite word, to the upcoming Blood vs. Water. Prepare yourself. Things are about to get sticky.

Reality Rant 5/12: PooP on Big Brother's Topaz

That's exactly what Gary should do. In cast you didn't know, something pretty epic happened on Big Brother Canada, eh! Eric and Bill break down the dramatic and implore BB USA to take after their Canadian counterpart!

Reality Rant 5/10: Puck Racing

Yes, the hockey boys took home the top prize on The Amazing Race, which while they are a satisfying champ... it still feels like something was missing this season. What gives? Find out inside!
