    Let’s talk reunions, y’all! We’re back from our summer vacations, rested and ready to reunite for all the reunion specials we missed during our OOO week: “The Ultimatum: Queer Love” and “Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.” Hosts Joanna Garcia Swisher and Nick Viall took their best swings at the Andy Cohen crown, with varying results, but each reunion offered at least a few juicy moments.

  • 'The Ultimatum: Queer Love' S2 Finale Delivered Romance & Heartbreak

    “The Ultimatum: Queer Love” finale had it all: Proposals! Confrontations! A dramatic breakup! This season was a true emotional rollercoaster, in all of the best ways. We got to see some real growth from both couples as well as individuals, while others couples are to untangling hard truths right up to the end. (Yes, we ARE talking about you, Mel and Marie.)

    We taped this episode ahead because of our insane schedules, so this podcast will only include discussion of episodes 8 and 9 of “Queer Love” S2. A separate podcast about the (honestly quite juicy) reunion will be coming soon.

    Just in time for the end of Pride Month, “The Ultimatum: Queer Love” has returned to our screens. And after watching the first seven episodes of season 2, we couldn’t help but wonder… why does the straight version even exist when “Queer Love” is so far superior?

    The new season follows six couples who have reached a crossroads in th…

  • 'The Valley' Shows Us Who Jax Really Is

    If one can say anything uplifting about season 2 of “The Valley,” it’s probably that the show is, at least, providing video documentation of Jax Taylor’s misdeeds — and his slimy attempts to throw blame for his horrific behavior on everyone around him, his ex-wife Brittany Cartwright in particular.

    In this latest batch of episodes, Jax steps up his harassment of Britt. He continues to rage-text her, reaches out to their mutual friends and family to try to convince them he’s truly changed and needs Britt’s sympathy and care, watches her from the family home’s interior surveillance cameras, apparently fakes (or at least exaggerates) a medical emergency, dumps his disastrous financial problems on her, and continues to imply (under the guise of taking full accountability) that Britt is responsible for his bad behavior. After all, she should have held him accountable before! She should have left him! He wishes she had! Oh, if only someone had forced him to be less of a piece of s**t!

    Carrie Bradshaw is swanning about in tulle in her massive Gramercy Park townhouse. Her boyfriend is in Virginia, her jewelry designer millennial neighbor is now living in her old uptown apartment, and her friends are busy f*****g nuns and stalking elite college counselors.

    Naturally, that means it’s time for her to sit down and write a novel. About women…

    What would Jesse Solomon do (if you were a hot model in his proximity)? Evidence from the lanky “Summer House” star, during his sophomore season on the show, suggests that he would shower you with flattery and over-the-top declarations of romantic feelings, press forward with a committed relationship, get his toe sucked during a 37-…

  • The 'Mormon Wives' Are Back To Battle For The Soul Of MomTok
    2025/05/23
    This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit claireandemma.substack.com

    What is MomTok? A business? A friend group? A sisterhood? A vehicle for TV drama? A tool for dismantling the patriarchal forces undergirding the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints? In season 2 of “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives,” the ladies of MomTok are back — and they have very different answers to that big question.

    In this episode, we get into as much of the season’s drama as we can, including Taylor and Demi’s showdown, Zac’s attempts at redemption, and the final bombshell accusations that are thrown Jessi’s way. We also dig into some of the post-show drama. (Will MomTok survive this???)

    The technofuturists want it. The evangelicals want it. The creepy manosphere dudes want it. The current iteration of the American right wing may be an odd and sometimes contradictory coalition, but there’s at least one thing they all unite around: More babies.
