Tayne Talks: A Reality TV Podcast

We made it to the finale! The couples finally make it to the end of 8 weeks and everyone is back, including Chris & Paige, and they have to decide on whether they want to stay married or get divorced. No surprises here as our predictions were right on the money. We discuss how the producers make up for the lost Chris & Paige time by having them dominate decision day with their unbelievable...

Here is a sneak peek into our bonus episode where we discuss everything RHOA. We talk about the franchise as a whole - where it ranks among the franchises for us, our favorite past and present housewives and how the ladies understand that this is a reality show and play their roles accordingly. Ade reminds us that RHOA has a lot of one season wives. We recap the season as a whole - How the ladies...

Since we did not recap the Countdown to Decision Day Special, we decided to recap the first two episodes of the newest addition to the MAFS family - Unmatchables with Dr. Viviana and Pastor Cal. We fill you in on the premise of the show and then discuss the first two couples featured in each episode. We dissect everything about the show - from the selection process, to how loose the experts are on...

We're almost there, people! The couples spend their last night together before Decision Day and this is one tense, edit heavy episode, as the producers try their hardest to make us think we have no idea what they will do. We discuss how the edits had a lot of the conversations making no sense and Ade points out that they had one person in each couple sure of what they will say and had the othe...

So close but still far from Decision Day, the couples are sent off to a couples retreat to hang out with the other couples and keep working on their relationship. Probably on edge close to d-day, we discuss all the problems that seemed to surface over the weekend. We can't for the life of us understand Haley and Jacob as a couple and neither do they as we dissect the palpable hatred between th...

Here is a sneak peek into our bonus episode where we revisit the 90 Day Fiance world with the Reunion Tell All that aired this week. If you haven't heard our previous episode before the 90 Day Fiance season premiere, you should go back and listen (Bonus Episode 4 - full episodes available to all!) We do a run down on how we felt about the season as a whole and Ade explains why she thinks it is...

Tick Tock. We start the countdown to Decision Day with the remaining 4 couples as they look back on their childhoods and share it with their significant others. Ade shares why she really enjoyed this episode (hint: Haley and Jacob) and we notice the cloud that is lifted with Chris and Paige leaving. Dr. Pepper is still in the building and we talk about her no-nonsense approach with the couples as...

Yup. This was a filler episode that was full of a number of untruths. In fact, Ade thinks this was the worst episode in the last few seasons. Dr. Pepper and Pastor Cal pay the couples a visit but don't really do much. They sit with the couples individually and don't even sit with them as a couple. We wonder what the big idea with this visit was and why the couples were encouraged to speak...

Here is a sneak peek into our bonus episode where we rank all the seasons of MAFS that we have watched. This was such a fun episode to record! We rank all the seasons of MAFS (excluding the current season) from worst to best. Tayne has watched all the seasons and Ade has watched 7 of them. We explain how we came about our rankings and what criteria we used. We also go down memory lane in each seas...

No, really. Who let Erik out? Just kidding! It's the day after the monthiversary and the couples are reminiscing over how their day went. We settle into the dog-heavy episode and talk about how important the dogs were in the relationships this episode. We break down the many ways Erik was oh so wrong this episode and how poor Rockie bore the brunt of it all. We wonder why we have to check in i...

The couples make it to one month, which is a huge deal in MAFS world. We take a walk with them down memory lane and it's nice re-watching their wedding day with them. Haley and Jacob seem to hit a dead end and we are confused about Haley's POV claiming she had no idea how Jacob felt. We continue to seethe over this Chris & Paige farce and hope this is truly the last time they are toget...

It's intimacy week and in this episode we get the pleasure of an expert visit with Dr. Viviana. We talk about enjoying having an expert around and rank our experts in order of how much value we think they bring to the table. Our couples are still trudging along and it was a quite heavy episode with some of the couples being vulnerable about their past. We discuss how the show seems to focus mo...

Hope you enjoy this snippet of our bonus episode where Tayne & Ade discuss the Australian edition of our beloved MAFS, specifically Season 6 that is currently airing on Lifetime. Tayne is no stranger to the show and has watched the last few seasons while this is Ade's first time watching. We compare the show to its U.S counterpart and talk about the differences between the two. Ade gives u...

We are inching towards the halfway mark of the show and we honestly can't tell if the couples are progressing or regressing. We discuss a former cast member's comment that explains why Chris and Paige are still on our screens. We ponder Ryan & Clara's donut date and talk about Haley's backhanded gesture towards Jacob. We wonder if Jacob needs to back off a little. We also talk...

It's Friends & Family week where our couples' loved ones come by to pay them a visit to see how they're doing and give them sage advice. We talk about how great the friends were in this episode and how well the friends seem to know them. Ryan and Clara continue to be a mystery to us and Erik and Virginia continue to tiptoe around their issues. We debate whether Bri and Vince's...

And the shit show continues... In this episode, we discuss the rollercoaster Chris and Paige continue to take us on, Haley and Jacob's continued miscommunication, Bri and Vince entering reality, Erik and Virginia and their different definitions of marriage and we find out something new about Ryan and Clara. We finally get an expert when Pastor Cal comes into town asking all the right questions...

In this sneak peek into our bonus episode, Tayne and Ade share a bit of their culture as Nigerians. Since we are a MAFS podcast, of course we talk about Nigerian weddings! We talk about the many and various steps required, before getting to the actual wedding(s), how big Nigerian weddings are and how we had both been at two Nigerian weddings but never actually met each other until years after. We...

We couldn't not say anything about Dr. Pepper's statement on casting Chris. We talk about why she didn't get her statement vetted - and proof-read before hitting send, her using Shawniece and "Jefte" as examples for "train-wreck" couples and we also talk about Shawniece's response to her statement.

Whew! Where do we start? We find that although the couples are getting closer to each other tension rises among all the couples together. Ryan and Clara continue to discuss their similarities and differences, Haley and Jacob hit a wall, Virginia and Erik continue to lie to each other, Bri and Vince have their first disagreement and Chris and Paige continue to be Chris and Paige. We ponder over rea...

Unfortunately, this season so far has become the Chris and Paige show and Chris seems capable enough to have enough drama for 5 seasons, so it continued in this episode. He drops a bomb on Paige in what we thought was the cruelest way ever. Poor Paige continues to have a tough time but is still deciding to stick it through with him - for now. The other couples continue to grow in their relationshi...

We're back again this week, trying to get to know the couples as they settle into marriage but it's the Chris and Paige show once again. As Chris drops a bomb on Paige. Should Paige have gone into that much detail with his parents? Tayne explains why she thinks Chris is actually attracted to Paige despite what he says. We discuss how we think Haley and Jacob are slow burns, Erik finally te...

Wow! This episode was explosive! We had the final two weddings and boy was it a lot! We discuss the train wreck that is Chris. We discuss his faux pas every time he opened his mouth from beginning to end and his dad's grossness. We wonder why Paige didn't run because there were red flags everywhere. We also talk about the awkwardness of Jacob and Haley as we strongly hope that this isn&#39...

We pick up where we left off with Clara and Ryan and we get 3 additional weddings. We discuss the good vibes in all the weddings. Tayne is still #TeamClara (even if she won't stop talking) while Ade is not #TeamErik. We also talk about whether Virginia drinks as much or if the show is exaggerating it. We make a guess on who the show's episode description is about and Ade tells us why the v...

We're baaaack! Welcome to Season 12 of Married at First Sight and Season 2 of our show! We are so excited to be back and to talk about our brand new couples in a brand new city - Atlanta. Before we dissect the episode, we talk about what some of our former couples are up to these days. With a 3 hour episode, you know there was a lot to discuss - filming in a pandemic, who made Pastor Cal lead...

'Tis the season and for the holidays, we decided to record an episode dedicated to the widely popular TLC show, 90 Day Fiancé.
