Tayne Talks: A Reality TV Podcast

We are joined by the lovely Jenn from Wise and Wine Podcast and we dish on all the surprise bombs and drama in the first part of the reunion. Also, Ade gives us a rundown on the watch party where Ryan, Zack, Bao and Jose made an appearance. We get to hear about her conversation with Ryan and his sister. Find us on Instagram and twitter at @altarcallmafs and you can find Jenn - @wiseandwinepodcast...

We made it to the end! The couples decide whether they would like to stay married or get a divorce. Not a lot of surprises and it was more entertaining than expected save for the weird voice overs for the journey packages. If you haven't already check out our Decision Day Dish bonus episode on our Patreon at www.patreon.com/altarcallmafs . Join the conversation on our social media - @altarcall...

Its truly the final countdown as each of the couples weight the pros and cons of saying yes or no on decision day. We talk about how far the couples have come and make our predictions on what the couples will decide on decision day. Look out for a Decision Day Dish bonus episode next week on our Patreon at www.patreon.com/altarcallmafs . Join the conversation on our social media - @altarcallmafs o...

The couples go down memory lane and share some of their childhood memories. One couple deals with a secret, another with a betrayal by a friend. Michaela and Zack take us on an even bumpier rollercoaster than usual while we forget Ryan and Brett are still on the show. Don't forget on Monday, you can find an Unfiltered Finale + Couples Cam recap episode on our Patreon at www.patreon.com/altarca...

So much to talk about but we discuss the couples at their couples retreat and divide the couples into the happy/unhappy couples. You know the episode was truly about "the fight". We break down every single frame of it and try to make sense of what the heck we just watched. Don't forget on Monday, you can find an Unfiltered + Journey So Far special recap episode on our Patreon at www.pa...

Pastor Cal and Dr. Pepper stop by to speak to the couples individually and give them guidance on how to navigate their relationships. We talk about how cute Myrla and Gil were even if Myrla was drunk. We are still side eyeing Jose and as always Brett and Ryan are still at a standstill. We also talk about the continued downfall of Johnny and Bao and the ridiculous fight between Michaela and Zack. A...

On this episode, we give a quick highlight recap of episode 11 and dive into this week's episode that is centered around Johnny's self sabotage. We talk through our stages of anger at Johnny and wonder if Zack and Michaela are being genuine. We give kudos to Ryan for not being cruel to Brett even though he doesn't want her, are surprised Rachel and Jose have moved on and wonder what th...

We have received many questions about Love Is Blind and Netflix finally gave us a reason to talk about it! This 3 episode special follows the lives of the "PodSquad" two years after their groundbreaking show. We revel in the cuteness of Lauren and Cameron and the Barnett's struggles and we express our frustration at Damien and G's sham of a relationship and why everything about the...

On this episode we wonder what the heck we watched on this explosive episode where most of the couples are in a bad place and not even Dr. Viviana can help them. Johnny and Bao are in a good place this week and Myrla and Gil make progress in their relationship. Jose, Zack and Ryan are not their best selves this week and we wonder yet again how the show managed to find what seems like the most inse...

The experts are encouraging the couples to fall in love or as Pastor Cal puts it "create feelings" and on this episode we discuss the ones that heeded that advice and those that seem to be running the opposite direction. We talk about Ryan & Brett getting closer through...Jenga. We can't decide if Ryan falls in love quickly or not as we can't keep up with the untruths. Rachel a...

On this episode, the couples get with their family and friends by welcoming them to their home with a themed housewarming (well, for some). This was not a good week for most of the couples as things were not looking good but it meant we had plenty to talk about. We're sick and tired of Gil taking jabs at Myrla and making an issue of her spending but we admit that it was a sweet moment when the...

The couples visit each other's homes and move into their lovely apartment on this week's episode. We join the couples in appreciating what we dubbed the nicest apartment MAFS has ever had. It doesn't take long for habits and differences to show up and we were here for it all. We think Rachel and Jose are going to be okay, everyone should aspire to the self assurance of Myrla and Gil re...

We are still in the Florida Keys with the couples. Zack is still quarantining in his hotel room and we discuss the beautiful drone shot that we are given since no crew can get close to him. This week, the couples have uncomfortable conversations. We are not sure why showering after a workout requires a conversation but Bao gives us something to talk about on this topic. Gil and Myrla talk about la...

Zack has tested positive for Covid and Michaela heads back to Houston and we talk about how we miss their presence especially when the couples meet up for the first time after the wedding. We don't understand Myrla's constant whining as Gil does his best to be positive. We are sure his incessant questions are prodded by the producers. Rachel and Jose continue to surprise us until Jose can&...

The couples spend their first night together and get to learn more about each other. 3 and half of the couples are still enjoying each other and we break down each of the couple's first night and next morning recap with each other. We notice how there were no incessant questions about if they consummated their marriage. We cheer on the first couple to do so and appreciate the organic way we we...

They're all married now! On this episode, we discuss the remaining weddings and the couples' first night together. We discuss how all the couples give us the feels - well except Brett and Ryan, who seem to just go through the motions. We also notice how she was the only one not carried over the threshold. We discuss how pleasantly surprised we were at Rachel and Jose after our not so great...

The weddings keep going and this week we see two more of the couples get married. The show continues the good feels with Michaela and Zack's wedding. We can't tell what to expect from these two but we are hoping for success for them. We worry a bit about Hurricane K but Ade can't wait to meet her. We talk about how we thought Zack was about to bow out and how nervous he was that he bot...

We're baaaaaaack! It's a new season and a new set of couples and we were so ready to wipe season 12 out of our memories but we just had to recap all the recent breakups but we promise we're done! We talk about the 3 (yes,3!) hour premiere and how we thought it was worth it because we enjoyed every moment of it even if it only yielded one wedding. We share our thoughts on the couples an...

In our Ask Us Anything episode, we got a couple of questions on our thoughts on past MAFS participants. We've spoken a little bit over time on how we feel about certain participants, you know our faves and not so faves so we figured it would be fun to go through our lists and talk about who we would want to hang out with and why. We first go through the MAFS individuals we'd love to hang o...

This is the second part of our Ask Us Anything and on this episode we answer all MAFS related questions - our thoughts on the evolution of the show and the experts, couples we think will make it and not make it, what we would change about the show and so much more. We enjoyed doing these. Thanks again for your questions and don't forget the new season of MAFS starts in July so make sure you ar...

Feels like eons ago we promised to have our Ask Us Anything episode. We finally got around to it and got it done. We got so many amazing questions that we had to break it out into two parts. For Part1, we answer personal questions about ourselves, our process making the show and questions about other tv shows. We will cover questions about MAFS in Part 2. We hope you enjoy this episode and get to...

Taking a break from the MAFS world, we deep dive into the TLC show, Sister Wives. Ade has been a previous viewer of the show and she encourages Tayne, who has never watched, to get into the show. We fine comb everything about the show from its very beginnings, their beliefs, the dynamics and the slow 180 of all the women and Kodi as we go from season to season. We talk about our favorite wives, th...

Y'all know we don't watch this before the show starts and instead prefer to watch it with hindsight glasses - all the better to judge with. Here is a sneak peek at our bonus episode where we go through the process with the experts and the couples and talk about how it is a different process this year, given that it was all done virtually. Tayne's sole goal is to see how Chris made it t...

It's finally here and the season comes to a close with the second part of the reunion. Kevin Frazier is still around to probe and interrogate a bunch of different groups and we were here for every bit of it. We still think that this 4 hour reunion was unnecessary but we discuss how we enjoyed this second part a little more for two reasons - Paige's friend, Nancy and having the experts walk...

It's the penultimate episode with the Part 1 reunion and Kevin Frazier is back! Loads to talk about on this episode as we discuss the recap (yet again) of the couples' journey and Kevin Frazier asks the hard hitting questions that we the people want answers to. Ade talks about how this reunion has no business being 2 hours since they filled it up with guests that added no value. We talk ab...
