Love to See It with Emma and Claire

At long last, we can finally put season 7 of “Love Island USA” to bed. Andy Cohen and Ariana Madix did their level best to pull out some emotional truths and reflections from the season 7 cast, in a two-hour reunion special. Rachelle Hampton of “Normal Gossip” joins Emma to discuss the unseen footage, Nicolandria, Austin’s inability to speak, and, of course, Huda’s fractured relationships with mos...

The penultimate episode of “Bachelor In Paradise” has one major goal: Eliminate as many couples as possible so we can speed-run right into a finale next week. And it almost gets there! After a regular elimination mid-episode, the show leaves us on the brink of a double elimination. In between, the couples have a camping trip that features broken equipment and supersized bugs — and stick literal da...

“Bachelor” recapping legend and “Last Week Tonight” writer Ali Barthwell rejoins the pod to discuss the losingest political campaign in “Bachelor in Paradise” history: Sean’s Parliament of Paradise, a would-be alliance that immediately alienates friend and foe alike. But at least it unintentionally delivers something we haven’t seen before – Spencer’s fiery, strategic side. Plus, Sean asks Kat to...

Rachel Recchia is back for the second half of our interview! During this chat we dig into her feelings on the winners of “Perfect Match” season 3, how all of the couples left things at the end of filming, and whether she’s single now. We also got to hear her reflect on the differences between her “Bachelor” and “Perfect Match” experiences, whether she’d ever go on a dating show again, and what her...

“Perfect Match” season 3 has come to an end, and like all seasons of this Netflix universe crossover show, the final stretch is inherently anticlimactic. And yet, we still had a lot to say about it! True drama ensues at the last mixer, all of our final 5 couples go on questionably romantic dates, and then the group gathers to vote for the titular Perfect Match. Plus, there’s a sneaky post-script c...

Former Bachelorette Rachel Recchia joins Love To See It this week for the first of a two-part interview digging into her experience filming “Perfect Match” season 3! She opens up about her side of her short-lived match with Clayton and its sudden end, her reactions to his postshow press tour – including what their “lifestyle differences” are – her other connections in the villa, and which couple s...

Actor (“M3GAN 2.0”), podcaster (Landlines) and BFF of the pod Allison Williams makes her triumphant return to Love To See It – just in time to discuss the horror of being forced to agree with both Brian and Wells during an episode of “Bachelor In Paradise.” Brian goes rogue, doing some poor gameplay and violating Bro Code, in order to tell Bailey about Jeremy’s phone call to Susie. And absolute ma...

Season 3 of “Perfect Match” is in full swing! We start off this episode by breaking down Clayton’s maddening non-apology podcast tour, then get into the new drop of episodes. With the men and women separated for mixers with the singles, a familiar pattern ensues: the women behave, to protect their relationships, and the men gleefully indulge in carnal delights the minute their partners are not phy...

As Jesse keeps reminding us, this is the week where EVERYTHING CHANGES in Paradise. Instead of just finding love, the cast is now tasked with finding someone that they can pretend to enjoy enough to make it to the end and secure half a million dollars. The first challenge of this brave new world boosts some, like Jeremy and Bailey, while others, like Gary and Leslie , falter. Meanwhile, Brian is d...

“Perfect Match,” Netflix’s zany revolving door summer dating show, is officially back! And this time, there’s some non-Netflix talent in the mix, including two Bachelor Nation icons: Rachel Recchia and Clayton Echard. In this episode we discuss episodes 1-6, which means that a whole lot of love and drama occur. We get into Rachel and Clayton’s ill-fated reunion, AD and Ollie’s burgeoning love stor...

This week in Paradise, we have a few days of BIP normalcy before, as Jesse Palmer announces, “everything changes.” Lea, Nancy, and Faith get date cards, the whole gang engages in a very feathery mating ritual, and Allyshia arrives to stir up conflict between Dale and Kat. We’re joined by Wyatt Metzger, host of the BachMakers podcast to break it all down!

Good morning, islanders! Season 7’s time in the villa may be over, but the “Love Island” discourse continues. The cast has been making the podcast rounds, with Amaya and Huda sitting down on Call Her Daddy, Chelley and Olandria chatting with Keke Palmer, and more. And one interview in particular (*cough* Huda) has been fueling the drama. Meanwhile, the beloved season 6 cast has returned with the B...

It’s only been 8 days in Paradise, but so much is happening! The chyrons are cooking, people (namely Kat and Dale) are having extremely circular, potentially relationship-ending arguments, Jeremy and Bailey are sharing one piece of gum, Kathy is doing body shots, and the Goldens finally get a date card. “BIP” is finally feeling like (almost) paradise. This week, we have a pivotal rose ceremony whe...

“Bachelor in Paradise” season 10 is underway, with an epic FIVE-HOUR week: Monday night’s three-hour episode, followed by a cool two hours on Tuesday. ABC, please! We need a free night to do our laundry! But with the return of “Almost Paradise” (the remix) and snarky chyrons, not to mention some love geometry and Goldens who arrive ready to flirt, we’re starting to feel some of that “BIP” beach ma...

Season 7 of “Love Island USA” has limped to a conclusion, and the final was just as underwhelming as the season. Of the final four couples, the longest-standing couple only got together after Casa Amor – and by the time the winner was announced, they had already broken up. With every solid connection from the season booted from the villa, all our final contenders felt either forced, brand-new, or...

This season of “Love Island USA” is an unmitigated mess. Nearly every strong connection has been thrown out of the villa, one of our central couples was partially disappeared (with good reason) this week, and the vibes are, overall… unsettling. But from the wreckage of this season, can something beautiful still be salvaged? A friends-to-lovers story, perhaps? An inspiring pro basketball team? Or m...

After two long years, we’re back in Paradise! But instead of the gritty, sandy, crustacean-filled beaches of Sayulita, we’re at a glossy resort in Costa Rica, sipping champagne by the pool while Dale Moss is forced to do sketches. The long-awaited “BIP” reboot is here, and based on the three-hour premiere, production took the original “Bachelor in Paradise” we loved, dropped it into a blender with...

It’s a two-part episode this week, in both timing and tone: In the first half, Claire and Emma giddily bask in the romantic climax of Nic and Cierra’s post-Casa reunion. In the second, pod bestie Leigh Blickley joins Claire to pick up the pieces of our hopes for this season, as offscreen revelations and onscreen heel turns – especially in the brutal Stand On Business challenge in episode 26 – have...

BFF of the pod Kelsey McKinney joins us to discuss a real rollercoaster of a week on “Love Island USA.” We start with some truly baffling eliminations – how dare they do this to Hannah??? – and then head straight into the most pain-filled Casa Amor Fiji has ever witnessed. (We feel personally victimized by some of these choices. Stop taking cues from that failed “Bachelor In Paradise” season, prod...

It’s rom-com rewatch time! We head back to 1990 Los Angeles for a beautiful tale about a sex worker (Julia Roberts) being lifted up into wealth, privilege and classiness by a corporate raider with a heart of gold (Richard Gere). It’s the ultimate capitalistic fairy tale, dreaming up a ruthless investor who has amassed millions by destroying things – but who actually has a soft heart, principles, a...

“LOVE ISLAND USA” SEASON 7 IS CINEMA! We weren’t quite ready to commit after a week of episodes – one can’t lock in too early, you have to explore! – but after watching episodes 9-14, we’re closing off. The drama in the villa reached all-time highs, with a pancake incident pushing Huda and Jeremiah’s bond to the breaking point, a forced recoupling that prompts an epic crashout, and a newly minted...

Bachelor Nation and Love Is Blind Land have been rocked by two major splits – including an acrimonious divorce between Lydia and Milton of “Love Is Blind” that finally closes the book on a disastrous season 5 (from which zero couples now remain). Then we discuss the entirely unsurprising split between Grant and his “Bachelor” winner Juliana, delivered anticlimactically via Instagram Stories. But i...

“Love Island USA” is getting juicy. Huda and Jeremiah are careening towards disaster, two new bombshells enter the villa to try to turn the men’s heads, and we have our first exit from the villa. (We’ll miss you, Belle-dasha. Sort of.) We also are getting some strong redpill vibes from certain men – cough, Ace, cough – and honestly hope that our fave gals get some new dudes in the villa to jump sh...

Jake Anthony and Matt Marr are two Southern Queens who absolutely love reality shows about lonely hearts looking for love. They recap it all on the Reality Gays podcast, including: TLC’s 90 Day Fiancé, Love is Blind on Netflix, Love After Lockup, and some other shows where the people are just hot messes looking for love.  Matt is a clinical psychologist, and Jake is a life coach and teacher. And t...

A hot new bombshell has entered the villa: Love To See It!!! This is our first time ever covering “Love Island USA,” and the show welcomed us in with the most unhinged choreographed lip sync we could have dreamed of. In the first two episodes of season 7, Ariana Madix introduces us to the 10 original islanders (and two sexy bombshells), and they begin to form connections. They swap spit, bond over...
