It’s Become a Whole Thing

This treat of a show does what few spin-offs can do and lives up to the quality of it's originator, Jersey Shore. We look back at the first season from 2011 when the eyeliner was thick and the hair bumps were high.

We cover a follow up to one of the best documentaries of all time, Queen of Versailles, with Queen of Versailles Reigns Again , a series following the trials and tribulations Jackie Siegel faces while she works to finish construction on the largest single-family home in the United States that began over 20 years ago.

We meet a young Maddie Ziegler, follow the girls to a dance competition and watch Abby single out Nia Sioux, the sole black girl at the company, for a dance number entitled "Call Me Laquifa". No, we can't believe it either.

We cover Alone, the survival show where 10 strangers have to stick it out for as long as humanly possible in the wild to win $500,000. They are alone with 10 survival items and no idea how many other contestants remain, or who has tapped out. We're in unfamiliar waters here, far from our usual reality tv trash, learning how to tough it out in the Arctic circle.

We review the one and only Millionaire Matchmaker with Patti Stagner with a throwback episode from 2009. She shocked us back then and she's shocked us now. We review the show and go over her many blunders and controversies.
