My Hotter Half with Aminatou Sow

I'm Obsessed With This

This week on I’m Obsessed With This, host Bobby Finger welcomes co-host of Call Your Girlfriend and co-author of the forthcoming book Big Friendship Aminatou Sow (@aminatou) to talk about, among other things, her obsession with the ridiculous and addictive British competition show My Hotter Half! (Pronounced “My Hah-ah Hahf.“) “It’s very important to interrogate beauty ideals and how you feel about yourself relative to all the messaging you’re getting,” Sow says. “It’s definitely going to happen in a competition show.” But... that doesn’t mean we don’t love it anyway. She also explains why she loves Forensic Files, an extremely niche brand of sparkling water, and actress Aïssa Maïga.

All episodes of My Hotter Half are now streaming on Netflix. Watch it! But never ask a couple which one they think is the hotter half. It will only lead to a bad time.
