    News & Gossip: ‘Love Island’ Podcast Blitz, ‘Beyond The Villa,’ & ‘BIP’ Drama
    Jul 24 2025
    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 Bravo-style limited series “Beyond the Villa.” And to kick off today’s episode, we touch on some “Bachelor in Paradise” cast reactions and new hosting gigs for Bachelor stars.

    ‘BIP’ S10e4: Over My Deaded Body
    Jul 22 2025
    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 where the Golden men’s numbers dwindle, and we get our first cross-generational friendship rose. But, as Jesse Palmer ominously informs us: everything is about to change. Is “Bachelor in Paradise” about to morph into “Bachelor Pad”?

    ‘BIP’ S10e2-3: Slurping For Roses
    Jul 16 2025
    “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 magic. These two episodes contain the show’s first-ever kissing challenge, the arrival of sapiosexual queen Jill Chin, the emotional wreckage of Justin and Susie’s breakup (which is, to Lexi’s point, clearly still quite fresh), heel turns from two of our most likable beach gentlemen, and so much more. Strap in, friends: It’s a long one! To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

  • ‘Love Island’ S7e33-36: Amaya Papaya Finds Her Glass Slipper

    ‘Love Island’ S7e33-36: Amaya Papaya Finds Her Glass Slipper
    Jul 15 2025
    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 both. Out of this barren season, the only light was the indomitable Amaya Papaya, who found a path to self love and romantic love at the eleventh hour. And hey, we’ll always have the friendships.

    ‘Love Island’ S7e27-32: The Kitty’s Out Of The Hideaway w/Jo Piazza
    Jul 10 2025
    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 maybe one, beautiful, triumphant, Papaya-shaped, very clean New York City pigeon will outlast us all.

    ‘BIP’ S10e1: Hot Girls Get Seasick w/ Shaina Taub
    Jul 8 2025
    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 a huge scoop of “Too Hot to Handle” and “Love Island,” and puréed it into a fine Netflixified slurry of reality dating content. Tony award-winning composer, writer and actor Shaina Taub joins us to break it all down.

  • ‘Love Island’ S7e21-26: The Group Project Is Bullying w/ Leigh Blickley

    ‘Love Island’ S7e21-26: The Group Project Is Bullying w/ Leigh Blickley
    Jul 3 2025
    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 sullied our longtime faves. Is there anything left to hope for this season, aside from a bombshell worthy of Amaya Papaya entering the villa? It’s not looking like it.

    ‘Love Island’ S7e15-20: Not Mamacita’s Little Meatball! w/Kelsey McKinney
    Jun 26 2025
    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, producers!!!) Luckily we got a hint of redemption at the end… and Nicolandria stans everywhere rejoiced.
