Drama Bonded

This week we forgo our candy review to share our Traitors dream castings. Then from banishing Boston Rob to women arguing in Madrid, we had a lot to chat about this week! We get caught up on all things Traitors, and discuss if we think Danielle was smart to get rid of Carolyn. Then we find ourselves in the Carolina drama with the rest of the women of Grant’s season. How much longer can Carolina’s tears pull Grant’s attention?

We are still getting the hang of remote recording, so we apologize for the sound quality! We will get it right soon. Join us to discuss all of the strategy and slip-ups we have witnessed on the Traitors. It seems like both Faithfuls and Traitors are trying to get rid of Traitors these days. Meanwhile, love is in the air as our Bachelor, Grant starts his season!

Well this finale was a huge disappointment. Production really didn’t protect Jenn, and the whole thing was hard to watch. We get into the Marcus of it all and are relieved that Jenn knew he couldn’t meet her where she deserves to be met. And then on to Devin... and Devin’s Instagram moment post AFR. After that we briefly discuss some shows we are excited about, and announce we are taking a short break due to the demands of life.

This week we start with a very fun candy review courtesy of our friend Julia, then dive straight into hometowns! We thought we knew who was going to be the last man standing until the overnights left us with our heads spinning. We recenter ourselves on the Love Island reunion that probably didn't need to happen. There were so many things we wanted to be discussed, leaving us walking away from the show liking the cast less than befo...

Life be lifin’ over here, making this is a shorter messier episode… BUT WE GOT YOU. Our eyes are buggin’ out of our noggins with Sam M’s word salads. We also discuss Jenn’s top four, and how surprised we are to see who is going on to introduce Jenn to their families. P.S. we are THRILLED about Grant being the next bachelor!

Well we wrap up this delightful Love Island season by covering our first Love Island finale! We also discuss some of our favorite things about this season, and speculate which couples will make it in the real world. Then we’re off with Jenn and her men! These boys are really distracted by the drama this season, and we are not here for it. But Jenn seems like she is totally capable to navigate their bullshit. We also address where w...

There is simply TOO MUCH to talk about when it comes to Love Island USA. We go back and discuss the men coming back from Casa and of course spend some time on Movie Night. Aside from losing all respect for Aaron, we have really grown to love this group of islanders. Now that we have our final four couples, we discuss who we want to win! Then we jump right into Jenn’s premiere and how we are feeling about the start of her season. Th...

Love Island USA is blowing our minds this season, and WE ARE HERE FOR IT. We cover some fun questions have have us discussing the wildest challenges, couples that will go the distance, sexiest moments, and all the other things we can’t not talk about! Somehow we go from rooting for some solid couples to watching them crumble amidst the Casa Amore of it all. *eye roll* Then we dive into our favorite way to start a Bachelorette seaso...

We have committed to covering the new season of Love Island USA, and we are excited to navigate this messy villa with y’all. We discuss our favorite islanders, most cringey moments, and question if any of these couples will actually make it. Then we wrap up The Valley by recapping the last two episodes. Queen Janet manages to burn multiple bridges, but the flames have officially gone out in both Jax and Jesse’s marriages. We are lo...

We open up with some Tom Sandoval and Billie Lee Tea then move onto our final thoughts on season 11 of VPR before diving into a very dark Part Three of the Reunion. We share some thoughts about what we personally think authenticity is versus selling your soul to be on TV. We move onto talking about some of the standout scenes  from The Valley episodes 9 and 10. Spoiler: Jax continues to be the worst, Jesse didn't kill his ego with ...

We sit down and finally bring you a review of the five interesting pop-tarts that we know you all have been waiting for! Then we dive into some VPR updates including our night out seeing DJ James Kennedy, Something About Her finally opening, and news on Rachel’s lawsuit against Tom and Ariana. Then we take a deep breath and dive into the first two segments of the VPR reunion. We start with Rachel’s name in everyone’s mouth, cringe ...

We are back to celebrate our 51st episode and break down episode 14 and then THE FINALE of season 11 of Vanderpump Rules. And holy shit, is there a lot to talk about. We follow the cast (and Dan!) to San Francisco where we find more of the same themes we have watched throughout this strange season. We change locations, but the majority of the group’s attitude has not changed when it comes to their expectations of Ariana and her att...

We are still podcasting, just on a different timeline, thank you for hanging with us! We are excited to see James really bringing not only number one Guy energy, but a lot of maturity everyone else is missing, Tom manages to surprise us still by being the worst and The Valley is becoming a little too hard to watch; we talk about their attitudes towards sex and what it means to be a empath (spoiler: Kristin is not one).

We missed you! And we are back to dive into some rough waters of the last couple episodes of VPR and The Valley. We revisit episode 10 where Ariana shows her true feelings at a water tasting and then at Scheana’s beach outing. Then we get into Schwartz and Katie both being into Tori, meanwhile Joe is wondering WTF is up with Schwartz’s green bracelet decision. Meanwhile on The Valley, everyone is coming at Kristen for something eve...

Well, first off we recap last weeks episode that was lost, and something finally happened on Vanderpump Rules! We breakdown this packed episode that had everything from long-time secrets, to awkward legal conversations, to confusing friendship efforts, to what could be viewed as a “revenge bang”. We then share with you our first impressions of the first couple episodes of “The Valley”. Finally, it’s Joey’s finale, and it did not di...

Our eyes might be stuck in a permanent eye roll after watching another week of Scheana’s efforts to make Ariana and Tom’s breakup about her. She’s really milking this grieving process. Lisa and production continue to champion Tom’s redemption arc, so we pour ourselves another glass to help us get through the bullshit. Meanwhile Joey is with the final three women in Mexico for “fantasy suites”. After he tells two of the women that h...

This week on Drama Bonded, we review some Easter candy and discuss aging and social media. Then Lake Tahoe gets more complicated with weird meditation moments and hard conversations. All the while Katie and Ariana are being their best selves, making money moves in Weho. We question why production is trying so hard to redeem Sandoval and make Ariana the villain in their story. Meanwhile in Bachelor world, we accompany Joey to meet t...

We were hoping for fun in the sun in Lake Tahoe, but storm Sandoval has dampened another episode of Vanderpump Rules. We also discuss some of Rachel’s insights concerning the things being said about her this season. Then we are off to Jasper, Canada where we find 6 women hoping for a hometown rose. Some women are ready and eager, while others express some unexpected hesitation. Joey struggles to juggle hearts and doubts, but ends w...
