Finally the Season Premiere of Survivor Millenials vs GenX. We are really excited about this season. Based on the very first episode it looks like the contestants are in for a wild time. We think (and we hope) that they all stay safe, of course. But we see the storm that caused them to be evacuated as a foreshadowing of tumultuous season to come!…

We are so excited about Survivor we thought we'd get a jump on things even before the season started. In this episode we each chose 5 contestants that look liked they'd be fun to watch. Neither of us knew beforehand who the other one was picking. We'd love to know who you picked too. Meanwhile, we have a new Facebook group just for us. You can be o…

Bella Sleeping Under My Desk News from the “dog world” crosses my desk every single day. Some things are perfect for the magazine. Other tidbits make for great interviews for the podcast. Yet there’s still more. There are stories that you need to know “now” because they are so timely and they can’t wait. That’s what this episode of the Little Pampe…

The New Bachelor is...wait for it....Nick Viall! Before Bachelor in Paradise would we have been disappointed but he has definitely been different on Bachelor in Paradise. He seems calm. He has been the voice of reason. He just seems like a "cool guy." The kind of guy you could be friends with. Some people are thrilled other people are horrified. Wa…

Ashley I tears are so powerful, that they managed to keep her in Paradise even when she wasn't chosen in The Rose Ceremony. And while certainly Ashley's histrionics are a big part of this week's episodes, a lot more happened too. So very much happened.By Podcast Episodes | Reality Sisters

Well, Reality Sisters and Brothers we're right in the thick of things with this Bachelor in Paradise season. Josh's weird moaning and creepy horrible noises every time he eats or kisses Amanda is bested only by his profuse sweating. We can't blame him, of course, as he is in Mexico without any air conditioning. Bachelor in PARADISE. We think not! A…

And so we began a new show - Bachelor in Paradise 2016! Melly likes the break to a less structured show where the contestants can just be free to get to know one another more casually. Lourdes likes seeing some of the "old favorites" from past seasons. She feels like we can get to know them better. Sure the opening song is cheesy and silly. But isn…

Chad returns after walking in the dark and whistling. We thought there was going to be more to his return but it was a let-down. Nothing really happened. We can only guess that Chad came back because ABC told him to? We expected more and got nothing really. We are looking forward to the Chad drama on Bachelor in Paradise coming soon. Meanwhile, JoJ…

We think this is the best double episode of The Bachelorette and it's all because of Chad. When they have 2 consecutive night shows, the Bachelorette gets great ratings. Of the double shows, this one was the highest rated ever. Let's face it, love him or not Chad is good for ratings. With that said, it is important to note that we do not condone vi…

Kaitlyn confesses to Shawn, but never bothers to tell Ben H anything. Meanwhile, Ben H confesses that he is NOT a virgin, much to Kaitlyn's relief. Finally, Nick shows Kaitlyn all about confessionals. We cover all of this and more in this episode of Reality Sisters!By Podcast Episodes | Reality Sisters

Does Kaitlyn really feel as guilty as she'd like for us to think she does? Perhaps Kaitlyn just realizes (finally) that this will air on national television and her guys will know what happened between her and Nick. One thing's for sure - we are so thankful Chris "Cupcake" didn't jump at the Cliffs of Moher!…

Well this episode of the Bachelorette is clearly all about Nick and his effect on the guys. We have no idea why Kaitlyn refuses to have any empathy for her guys.

We have a Bachelorette - Kaitlyn Bristowe! While we both like Britt, we were both rooting for Kaitlyn. However, we don't think we've seen the last of Britt. Could she and Brady have a future?

Melly’s one word for the episode is “letdown.” Lourdes’ one word for the episode is “disappointed.” We both felt like Chris Soules settled for the “sure thing” instead of for the one he loved. If that was the case, what a huge injustice to Whitney to be with a man who wasn’t sure, until even the very last second, to whom he would be proposing. If s…

Hey! Didn't Lourdes coin the term "Onion Girl?" Is ABC listening or is everyone just collectively referring to Ashley S as "Onion Girl?"By Podcast Episodes | Reality Sisters

There are a lot of wild monkeys in Bali. Chris loved the monkeys...perhaps a little too much.By Podcast Episodes | Reality Sisters
