Love may be blind, but we’ve seen enough—and we have thoughts. This week, we’re doing a FULL Love Is Blind recap, going couple by couple and giving our completely unfiltered takes. The chemistry, the red flags, the decisions we simply cannot defend… nobody is getting skipped.

Plus, we get into the In The City casting shuffle: Amanda is out, Carl is in, and we have questions. We’re also discussing Craig’s new micro-drama, Charmed by a Southern Monster, which sounds like a title we’d come up with after three glasses of wine. All that and more, because there is always another tangent.

Today we’re giving our first look at Team Moms Baseball for its premiere on Paramount+. We had the chance to sit down with some of the moms from the show and get a quick feel for the personalities, the dynamics, and what this series is really about.

We talk about the world of sports parents, the intensity that comes with it, and why the drama off the field might be just as big as what’s happening during the games. From different parenting styles to the social side of team life, there’s a lot packed into this one.

We also touch on what stood out most from our interviews and what we’re expecting going into the season.

May 4th 2026: This episode of Friend Of is PACKED with jaw-dropping headlines, hot takes, and a full-on rant you do not want to miss.

We kick things off with the viral story about Simone Biles reportedly spending over $20K on glam for a red carpet event in Madrid… and let’s just say Renee has THOUGHTS. From the time, money, and energy it takes to attend these events to whether they’re even worth it anymore, consider this your official anti-event manifesto.

Then we dive into the latest MomTok chaos: Jessi’s voice note to Dakota asking for videos of Taylor’s “erratic behaviour.” Why did she want them? What did the judge say in the Dakota vs. Taylor situation? And is Jessi positioning herself as the new leader of MomTok?

We also unpack the heartbreaking news surrounding West Wilson, his cousin allegedly shot and killed his grandmother the night before the reunion taping. We discuss how this may explain West’s silence, whether Andy Cohen addressed it, and when West may have found out.

From there, we get into all the Summer House speculation:

Is Ciara coming back? Will Amanda return? Could West (or even Kyle 👀) end up on In The City?

Plus, we recap Part 2 of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills reunion, where Dorit Kemsley continues to make everything about herself, accountability is nowhere to be found, and Kathy Hilton falls for an AI Jell-O diet ad (???). Meanwhile, Mauricio Umansky seems to be living his best double life, and we’re not okay with it.

And of course, we break down the latest episode of The Valley:

Luke needs to stop complaining, Kristen deserves support, Brittany’s new boyfriend is saying WAY too much, and why are we still talking about Janet apologizing for something from a year ago?! With Lala Kent and Tom Schwartz back on our screens, we expect better storylines, people.

We wrap it all up with our Icks & Icons... because obviously.

🎧 Pop culture, reality TV chaos, and unfiltered opinions... just how you like it.

April 30 2026: We’re coming to you LIVE from Charleston with a full recap of our first 24 hours in the city, dinner at By The Way, behind-the-scenes moments, and a huge shoutout to Austen Kroll for hooking us up with a Toronto Raptors game at BTW!

Then we dive straight into the chaos surrounding Summer House, including the SECOND and THIRD reunion audio leaks. Is the same person behind it all? Didn’t Andy Cohen say there would be legal action? And where is West in all of this?!

We break down the escalating drama between Kyle and West, including Kyle’s DJ set diss tracks and why he’s furious that West didn’t defend Amanda.

Plus, we discuss the most unexpected Bravo-adjacent relationship EVER: Dr. Dre and Michelle from The Valley?! Will he show up next season? We have THOUGHTS.

On the sports side: the Toronto Raptors are down 3–2 against the Cleveland Cavaliers, BI3 is out with an inflamed heel, and the Philadelphia Eagles just signed a guy who’s never played football before?!

We wrap with a full recap of this week’s cringey Summer House episode and, of course, our Icks & Icons.

Pop culture chaos, sports hot takes, and Charleston content, let’s get into it.

Plus, Renee explains the NFL cheating scandal to Ariana and she is SHOOK. Was Mike Vrabel really in counselling during draft day? And why did Diana Russini have to resign while he didn’t? We get into all of it.

Plus, major pop culture updates: Ciara lands a spot on the next season of Dancing With The Stars, Renee gets bamboozled (again) by fake news about MrBeast “buying” the Seattle Seahawks, and Angel Reese proves she’s that girl, athlete, model, fashion icon, and effortlessly hilarious.

And of course… we dive DEEP into the latest Summer House drama. West Wilson finally speaks out on his podcast, but is he missing the point? We unpack what actually matters, the awkward timeline convo, and why the internet is not buying it. Then we recap the cringiest episode yet: Amanda inserting herself into Ciara and West’s situation, the girls calling KJ “too fast” (??), and the painfully uncomfortable Ciara/West conversation that had everyone spiraling.

We wrap it all up with our weekly Icks & Icons: because you know we have opinions.

April 20th, 2026: Welcome back to Friend Of! We’re diving into the latest in the Alex Cooper vs. Alix Earle feud and asking the real question: why hasn’t Alix spilled the tea yet? Is this a legal situation… or a strategy?

We also flip the script and play devil’s advocate for Alex Cooper, plus get into why Dave Portnoy somehow never takes the blame in the Call Her Daddy breakup (make it make sense).

Then it’s time for Summer House chaos:

Alex vs Alix drama update, and somehow… it just got more complicated.

We’re recording AGAIN from Club Med Michès Playa Esmeralda in the Dominican Republic 🌴 and breaking down the latest developments in the Alex Cooper vs Alix Earle saga, including how Brianna Chickenfry got pulled into the conversation, the ongoing speculation, and what we actually think is going on.

April 14th, 2026: We are coming to you LIVE (well… kinda) from paradise - Club Med Michès Playa Esmeralda in the Dominican Republic - and somehow, even surrounded by palm trees and ocean views, the internet still managed to absolutely lose its mind this week.

We’re breaking down the Alex vs. Alix drama from start to finish - the history, the long-standing speculation, the TikTok that set everything off, Dave Portnoy's take, and the comment heard around the world. You know the one. OH. MY.
