- 0:42Speaker 1: are you still watching Love Island?
- 0:44Speaker 2: I need to go visit. Yes, I have, Well, I
- 0:47Speaker 2: know I'm revisiting. We'll get to that. Okay, I've been,
- 0:51Speaker 2: I've been pulled in. I'll flag for Carrie. I did
- 0:54Speaker 2: provide a very short clip if it's if you all
- 0:56Speaker 2: want to play it, find that here. Oh yeah. And
- 1:01Speaker 2: so the finale was on this past Sunday, and so
- 1:04Speaker 2: we're gonna start with that and then work our way backwards.
- 1:07Speaker 2: So I'll start with the final four, and if Carrie
- 1:09Speaker 2: can get this clip in time, then we'll go to that.
- 1:10Speaker 2: Otherwise it's not the end of the world. So the
- 1:12Speaker 2: final four, So what we got down to were four couples.
- 1:15Speaker 2: And so the four couples in the final were Trinity
- 1:17Speaker 2: and Bryce, Anaya and Carl, Cata and Zach, and then
- 1:21Speaker 2: Melanie and Sincere and I do have a picture of
- 1:24Speaker 2: the four of them standing on a like kind of
- 1:25Speaker 2: like you know, the central part where they're all waiting
- 1:27Speaker 2: to hear what's gonna happen. And then the top two
- 1:29Speaker 2: couples ended up being Trinity and Bryce and Anaya and Carl,
- 1:33Speaker 2: and I don't object to either of these. I was
- 1:35Speaker 2: totally fine with either one of them winning. So Carrie,
- 1:38Speaker 2: do you have the clip? Here we go.
- 1:43Speaker 3: This is announcing the winners. Oh dramatic. It's always so dramatic. Yeah, may.
- 2:09Speaker 1: God.
- 2:11Speaker 2: And then that's and then that's our h and that's
- 2:15Speaker 2: our esteemed host arianomatics I told you all about from Scandaval.
- 2:20Speaker 2: So anyway, so Bryce and Trinity one, I'm okay with this.
- 2:23Speaker 2: I think a lot of people are okay with this.
- 2:25Speaker 2: I saw that they appeared on the Today Show to
- 2:27Speaker 2: talk about their win and so they won one hundred
- 2:29Speaker 2: thousand dollars to slit between the two of them. The
- 2:32Speaker 2: finale was almost two hours long. Oh my god, and
- 2:35Speaker 2: we were past we were past, you know, any sort
- 2:39Speaker 2: of like concerns or challenges, and so the whole episode
- 2:43Speaker 2: was them going on all these dates and connecting just
- 2:45Speaker 2: before they found out they won, and it was fine,
- 2:47Speaker 2: but no thanks. Anyway, I do confess when the episode
- 2:50Speaker 2: dropped on Sunday, I just fast forward into the end
- 2:54Speaker 2: to see who won. And then the next morning and
- 2:56Speaker 2: then the next day while I was working, I had that.
- 2:57Speaker 2: I had it on the background and see what happened.
- 2:59Speaker 3: This is this is the show is on five days
- 3:01Speaker 3: a week. Is that right correct?
- 3:03Speaker 2: Yes, Sunday Monday, yes, yes. So anyway, so a different episode,
- 3:07Speaker 2: which I think was last Friday, was Family Day, which
- 3:09Speaker 2: I teased for you all the seeing we want to with.
- 3:12Speaker 2: The takeaway from Family Day was Bryce's grandma, remember Bryce one,
- 3:15Speaker 2: She's everything. So I have a picture of them, and
- 3:17Speaker 2: so that picture of the Zach Zach is on the left.
- 3:20Speaker 2: Bryce is in the middle, and then Bryce's grandma is
- 3:22Speaker 2: to the right of him or to the left of him,
- 3:25Speaker 2: I guess.
- 3:25Speaker 3: But anyway, specimens of manhood, aren't they.
- 3:29Speaker 2: I Mean, all they do is work out all day
- 3:31Speaker 2: and sit by the pool. And so so there was
- 3:34Speaker 2: this bromance going on between Bryce and Zach because they
- 3:37Speaker 2: were really really good friends. But then Bryce is the
- 3:38Speaker 2: Trinity and Zach is with Cata, and so they were
- 3:41Speaker 2: talking about their bromance and what Bryce's grandma says is
- 3:45Speaker 2: somebody gets underserved in a three way, and.
- 3:47Speaker 1: So that's the truth. So I mean, that's the truth.
- 3:50Speaker 1: Somebody is always underserved in a free way.
- 3:53Speaker 3: And take it from me.
- 3:54Speaker 2: So well, and I figured Bill would be the expert
- 3:57Speaker 2: to consult on me. And Bryce said in respond She's like,
- 4:01Speaker 2: She's like, yeah, she's saying that from experience. This is
- 4:03Speaker 2: really sweet. Actually. Anyway, the next thing that they did
- 4:07Speaker 2: to wrap up the season, so I've told you about
- 4:09Speaker 2: these challenges that can be gross, and so the next
- 4:13Speaker 2: picture is this challenge and so again the challenges are
- 4:16Speaker 2: to for earlier in the season, the challenges are to
- 4:19Speaker 2: get the couples just interacting with other people, but by
- 4:22Speaker 2: the end, like they're coupled up, and so we just
- 4:24Speaker 2: have to get them to do weird things. So they
- 4:26Speaker 2: have this weird food challenge where they're given a grocery
- 4:28Speaker 2: list of food and then one person puts the food
- 4:31Speaker 2: in their mouth and then transfers the food to the
- 4:33Speaker 2: other person and that person puts it in a scale,
- 4:36Speaker 2: and so what you what you see is Kada transferring
- 4:38Speaker 2: a sardine to so she has to put the sardine
- 4:41Speaker 2: in her mouth and then take it and put it
- 4:43Speaker 2: in zacts.
- 4:44Speaker 3: What's all over his face?
- 4:46Speaker 2: All they had already buried, done other food they like,
- 4:48Speaker 2: did liquids and growth. I can tell Gene's very excited
- 4:55Speaker 2: to see that. So anyway, anyway, and so it's over,
- 4:58Speaker 2: but we have reunion coming up on this three first,
- 5:00Speaker 2: and I know you can't wait, and it's all be
- 5:05Speaker 2: happy to report on that. What I was getting at
- 5:07Speaker 2: where I have not left Love Island, I have a confession.
- 5:10Speaker 2: I am having withdrawals from Love Island.
- 5:12Speaker 3: So you got it? Do it?
- 5:14Speaker 2: Okay?
- 5:14Speaker 1: Yes?
- 5:15Speaker 2: And so I'm going back and I've started season six.
- 5:19Speaker 2: So season six is where Arianna first shows up as
- 5:21Speaker 2: the host, which I told you I was very excited about.
- 5:23Speaker 2: And then the other reason I'm excited to see season
- 5:25Speaker 2: six is Rob won the Traders this year and this
- 5:28Speaker 2: is his season he was on. He made an appearance
- 5:30Speaker 2: this season before, but he this is his full season,
- 5:34Speaker 2: So I'm curious to see the origins. You know, Rob's lore,
- 5:37Speaker 2: his origin story. So anyway, but we'll see. I'll let
- 5:41Speaker 2: you know how that goes. One thing i'd recommend and
- 5:43Speaker 2: related to this, Gina. I don't know if you've heard
- 5:45Speaker 2: this book and you read the Compound, but it's it's
- 5:49Speaker 2: a it's fiction. And I have a picture that I
- 5:52Speaker 2: included of the cover, and so what it is. It's
- 5:54Speaker 2: a fictionalized Uh, it's a it's like a fictionalized Love Island,
- 6:00Speaker 2: Love Island crossed with the Hunger Games. I just happened
- 6:04Speaker 2: to pick this book up a few weeks ago, and
- 6:06Speaker 2: so I've been reading it while watching Love Island. Anyway,
- 6:09Speaker 2: it's really well written. It's interesting, like these these women
- 6:12Speaker 2: just show up on a compound and then it's a
- 6:14Speaker 2: reality show. And one of the things I'll tease about
- 6:16Speaker 2: it is, you know, they're given these challenges and then
- 6:18Speaker 2: there's this voiceover that'll come and tell them what they
- 6:21Speaker 2: can and can't do, and then they earn rewards. And
- 6:23Speaker 2: so anyway, it's really good so far, I'll keep you.
- 6:25Speaker 2: I recommend that I.
- 6:26Speaker 1: Don't know it was written by somebody whose first name
- 6:29Speaker 1: is Aisling. I don't think I'm I might give it
- 6:34Speaker 1: a go.
- 6:34Speaker 2: I might give it a go, I think you'd like it.
- 6:40Speaker 2: I think you'd like it, and yeah and again like this.
- 6:42Speaker 2: I mean, it's going to be an exaggerated version of
- 6:44Speaker 2: where you be on Love Island. But I mean one
- 6:47Speaker 2: of the things that Love Island is exploring are these
- 6:49Speaker 2: gender roles and in a novel, and that you can
- 6:53Speaker 2: push a little bit more about what we're trying to
- 6:55Speaker 2: say with these shows. It's really interesting. So I for
- 6:57Speaker 2: anybody who hasn't read it, check it out. And I
- 6:59Speaker 2: think it's one of those like Morning, you know, good
- 7:01Speaker 2: Morning America book Rex or something. I don't know, it's
- 7:03Speaker 2: got one of those stickers on it. So anyway, so
- 7:05Speaker 2: coming up because now the Rednalds Love Island we're waiting
- 7:08Speaker 2: for the reunion. What I was thinking about next week
- 7:10Speaker 2: is I'm gonna make you We're gonna go over the
- 7:12Speaker 2: Emmy nominations for just the reality shows because I don't
- 7:14Speaker 2: think you guys covered that no in detail, because there's
- 7:18Speaker 2: there's a think there's at least three categories, and so
- 7:21Speaker 2: I'm going to go through and I'm gonna I haven't
- 7:23Speaker 2: watched all those shows, but like host got nominated different
- 7:27Speaker 2: they had different categories of reality shows and so I'm
- 7:30Speaker 2: going to research all of them and give you guys
- 7:32Speaker 2: a rundown of what's been nominated, and if there's something
- 7:34Speaker 2: that's interesting, I can go because I haven't seen a
- 7:37Speaker 2: lot of them, and so I can go back and
- 7:38Speaker 2: watch that and we can look at these Emmy nominated
- 7:41Speaker 2: reality shows and then we can be the deciders.
- 7:43Speaker 3: That would be great.
- 7:45Speaker 2: So I'm looking forward to that for you all, Okay,
- 7:48Speaker 2: And then and then I'm keeping an eye on some
- 7:51Speaker 2: other things that are on this week. There's this show
- 7:53Speaker 2: coming up, a new season on the Paramount Clause called
- 7:56Speaker 2: The Challenge, which I've never seen before, but people from
- 7:59Speaker 2: The Challenge and on The Traders, and so I might
- 8:01Speaker 2: go check that out and let you know what that's about.
- 8:03Speaker 2: Dancing with the Stars is on right now. I'm not
- 8:05Speaker 2: I mean, somebody really wants to talk about that. I will,
- 8:07Speaker 2: but I don't think we care. No. And then I'm
- 8:11Speaker 2: going to go make a list of other shows because
- 8:12Speaker 2: I know a couple of weeks ago and Bill google this,
- 8:14Speaker 2: there were twenty five reality shows that we could all
- 8:16Speaker 2: be watching right now. But I figure we'll start with
- 8:20Speaker 2: the Emmy nomination.
- 8:20Speaker 3: That's a good way to start. Yeah.
- 8:22Speaker 2: That is.
- 8:24Speaker 3: By the way, that book the Compound.
- 8:26Speaker 1: It was a It was the Good Read's Choice Award
- 8:29Speaker 1: for the reader's Favorite science Fiction category and the Good
- 8:33Speaker 1: Morning America Book Club.
- 8:34Speaker 3: Okay, well I'll pick it up.
- 8:36Speaker 2: Amazing. Yeah. I had mentioned to one of my sisters
- 8:39Speaker 2: and she didn't realize this was actually Love Island. She's like, oh,
- 8:41Speaker 2: I read that book and I said, I'm like, it's
- 8:43Speaker 2: kind of like love Lamon. She's like, oh no, I'm
- 8:46Speaker 2: like yes. And so my drinking game is this week
- 8:48Speaker 2: is take a drink each time someone says situationship. I
- 8:51Speaker 2: still don't know what that means. So good luck.
