When “What Not To Wear,” a fashion makeover show starring stylists Clinton Kelly and Stacy London, first aired on TLC in 2003, the two of us were in the midst of our high school years — smack dab in the middle of style self-discovery and anxiety. If anyone yearned for clear-cut style guidelines, it was us. Clint and Stacy were funny, beautiful, and cool; two fashion experts in their early 30s. The...

After four seasons cutting a bloody trail across the United States and Europe, Joe Goldberg has come home. The fifth and final season of Netflix thriller “You” finds the bookish serial killer (played by Penn Badgley) back in New York, married to his latest love, and surrounded by every comfort money can buy. His wife Kate is a billionaire and the CEO of her late father’s megacorporation, which she...

“The Valley” is ostensibly a show about the lives of a group of friends and frenemies in their mid-30s to mid-40s as they navigate babies, divorces, and messy social situations. However, what it’s actually about is the harrowing nature of legally tying yourself to a toxic, dangerous man! The central force of the sophomore season of the Bravo show is the split of two couples who were overtly dysfun...

Our favorite rich-people-being-shitty-in-paradise prestige scripted TV show, “The White Lotus” just wrapped up season 3, and we have to be honest: Much like Laurie (Carrie Coon), or Timothy Ratliff (Jason Isaacs), we didn’t have our best vacation ever. Season 3 of Mike White’s dark comedy finds us at a White Lotus resort in Thailand, where we reconnect with Belinda (Natasha Rothwell), the betrayed...

When the end of “Bravo” stars Paige DeSorbo and Craig Conover’s three-year long relationship became public in December , it seemed like everything was going to be handled amicably. "I have so much love and respect for Craig. I think he is one of the best people I have ever met in my entire life," Paige said on her podcast, Giggly Squad. "I will remain the biggest fan of him and want the best for h...

The only people who anticipated the completion of “Cold Harbor” as eagerly as Jame Eagan and the Lumon Board were, well, the entire audience of Apple TV+ hit “Severance.” And we had been waiting a long, long time. Season 2 was famously delayed and delayed, arriving almost three full years after season 1, and the second season took a little while to hit its stride. The explosive finale finally drop...

When Meghan, Duchess of Sussex’s new lifestyle show, “With Love, Meghan,” premiered on Netflix last week, the reactions were swift… and negative. “‘With Love, Meghan’ Is a Montecito Ego Trip Not Worth Taking,” declared Varie ty. “Meghan Markle Pioneers New Frontiers in Unrelatability,” said Vulture. The Guardian called the show “toe-curlingly unlovable TV.” Audience reactions were largely even les...

Claire is out sick, so the wonderful Kelsey McKinney joined me to recap the “Traitors” finale! Go order her book ! Also: THIS EPISODE CONTAINS SPOILERS! During this season of “The Traitors,” a 10+ year dedication to Bachelor Nation finally payed off. The people have discovered Gabby Windey — but us real ones (a.k.a. “Bachelor(ette)” fans — knew all along. On Thursday night, the third season of “Th...

Emma is officially a married woman! (Or, as she likes to think of herself, an appendage.) She and Adam tied the knot this weekend at Shun Lee West, a Chinese restaurant on the Upper West Side, in a Jewish ceremony that artfully mingled tradition with their own unique personalities and values. Emma looked like an old Hollywood film star. Their vows brought me to tears. And, fittingly for a woman wh...

There are few reality TV moments that truly break through amidst all the pop culture noise. But I think we can agree that Tom Sandoval holding one ear closed so he can sing backwards nursery rhymes — with vibrato — into a phone booth is one of them. @peacockWell I got chills. #TheTraitorsUS is streaming now on Peacock. #Traitors #TomSandoval #SingingTiktok failed to load.

Halfway through the third season of “The Traitors” US, one thing has become clear: This game is in a shambles. The Traitors are demoralized and divided, unable to pursue any real strategy because they hate each other more than anyone else in the house. It’s unclear that many of the Faithfuls even really care that much about banishing Traitors anymore — and why should they, given that new ones woul...

Last night, we were on the YouTube front lines — alongside 250k other people — to see what former “Bachelor” winner Rachael Kirkconnell had to say about her very fresh breakup. Because if there’s a woman who’s in need of a comfy couch, a matching sweat set, and some tea spilling, Alex Cooper is gonna rise to the occasion and offer all three on “Call Her Daddy.” For those out of the loop on Bachelo...

With Donald Trump officially back in office, and a flood of abhorrent executive orders and public displays of fascism already grabbing our attention, we couldn’t focus on anything else this week. We decided to check back in — with each other and with Sami Sage (co-founder of Betches, host of The Morning Announcements and American Fever Dream, and author of Democracy in Retrograde) — to discuss how...

Ah to be young… and quirky… and have every boy and girl in your vicinity find themselves falling, a little or a lot, in love with you. This is the world of Kitty Song Covey, the heroine of Netflix’s “XOKitty,” a spinoff series of the TATBILB trilogy. It’s often hard to stick the landing during the second season of a hit show, and “XOKitty” season 2 definitely wobbles. There are an unwieldy number...

Once again, Alan Cumming and his collection of capes and tartans have assembled a band of merry C-list celebrities in a Highland castle, where they are participating in a lavishly produced parlor game of murder and betrayal: “The Traitors.” We became hooked in season 2, and season 3 brought in some of our dream cast members — Chrishell Stause, Gabby Windey, Dorinda Medley — alongside legendary con...

Given the success of “Selling Sunset” and “Selling The O.C.,” it was only a matter of time before the franchise spun off all the way to New York City. Enter “Selling The City.” The newest real estate mogul reality show centers on an all-women team of Douglas Elliman agents in New York City, lead by super-agent Eleanora Srugo. Regular readers of the New York Post might know her as a big Eric Adams...

“The Ultimatum: Marry Or Move On” is less of a reality dating show, and more of a cautionary tale for straight people. A messy, unhinged, gripping one. For the uninitiated here’s the premise: There are six long-term couples. One person in each couple has issued an ultimatum — they need to get married, or break up. The couples split, find a “trial marriage partner” from the group to match up with a...

This week, we discuss two of the great homemaking influencers: Ballerina Farm (an unassuming tradwife Instagram icon), and Martha Stewart (a ruthless perfectionist and corporate mogul). In the midst of their recent moments in the cultural conversation — thanks to some high-profile interviews and a Netflix documentary, respectively — we were struck by how much overlap there is between these two wom...

Lindsay Lohan isn’t just a zany rom-com leading lady! She’s a (semi) serious rom-com leading lady. After “Falling for Christmas” (extremely unhinged) and “Irish Wish” (extremely AI-generated), Lohan apparently wanted to work on a film that was slightly more grounded. Enter “Our Little Secret.” “Our Little Secret” follows exes Avery (Lohan) and Logan (Ian Harding), as they find themselves in an awk...

We imagine the pitch for “Hot Frosty” was simple: Olaf from “Frozen,” but he fucks. This Netflix holiday rom-com is here to remind us that Christmas may take place during the cold season, but it can still be *hot*. “Hot Frosty” follows widow-slash-diner owner Kathy (Lacey Chabert) as she accidentally brings a notably chiseled snowman (Dustin Milligan) to life with a magical red scarf. Is she his m...

We don’t have any answers, but we do have a lot of feelings. We tried to express them in a cogent way, but full warning that we maybe were only partially successful. Claire would also like all of you to know that she’s angry and doing punditry. Please feel free to ignore her (or both of us!) if that’s not where you’re at right now. We love you all. We are so very grateful for this little community...

Warning: This post and episode contain spoilers for the “Love Is Blind” season 7 reunion! This “Love Is Blind” DC reunion had it all, if “it all” refers to every one of Nick and Vanessa Lachey’s well-documented inadequacies as hosts: corny dad jokes that Nick’s punch-up writer clearly prepared well in advance, missed lines of questioning and failures to follow up on important points, muddled back-...

Warning: This post and episode contain spoilers for the “Love Is Blind” season 7 finale! The first 15 minutes of the “Love Is Blind” season 7 finale was riveting and wrenching. The following hour was largely boring, with sides of sweetness and dramatic irony. This is one of those finales that should have jumped straight into a reunion. (Not that we think the Lacheys are equipped to handle it.) And...

The psychologist John Gottman has posited that there are four horsemen that portended doom in a relationship: contempt, criticism, defensiveness and stonewalling. If this theory didn’t already exist, it could have been developed simply by watching this season of “Love Is Blind,” in which contempt and criticism have infected several of the relationships root and branch. Any amateur shrink could loo...

At this point, it feels like it happens every season. You think you know who the villains are… and then more episodes come out and the TikToks start rolling in. Move on over, Leo. Stephen and Tyler (sob!) are ready to take your place. In this week’s batch of “Love Is Blind” episodes, our couples finish out their time in Cabo and head back to our nation’s capital. Once they’re back in DC, we watch...
