We’re taking a long, hard look at the rom-com couples we love… and why they probably wouldn’t survive the real world. From laugh-out-loud mismatches to relationships built on shaky foundations, this episode dissects the couples who looked perfect on screen but would have called it quits ages ago.

It's the entirely performative nature of these 'wild' celebrity love stories' like MGK and Megan, Travis and Kourtney et al that bothers me - it seems far more important to them all to be 'seen' to be in the relationship, and seen to do and say all the weird and often pretty problematic things; rather than the actuality of the relationship itself being the important thing. Frankly I'm tired of it - it's as though they're all competing to outdo each other in the dark and twisted stakes, and I don't know why they keep being held up as some kind of romantic ideal for it!

Lmao enough with the silverfox label! Having a few greys doesn’t make one silver, and having to boost egos by calling men foxes when they go grey is so retro and arbitrary.
