1:00
Drama Darling. Good day, everybody, It's me Amy Phillips here with Drama
1:10
Darling. My co host today is Deanna Chang. Hey, Deanna, Wow,
1:17
Amy, I feel I feel so welcomed in Thank you, oh,
1:23
oh my god, thank you for saying welcomed in. If you didn't hear
1:26
last week's episode, I've let everybody know that the thing that restaurants are doing,
1:32
stores are doing now the new trend is saying welcome in, Deanna.
1:37
I feel like you should cover this in your hot how to be less old
1:42
substack. This could be a whole thing. And on that note, I
1:46
will say that yesterday's tour of Warner Brothers Turner Classic Movies Movie Tour was fabulous.
1:55
I went with my parents and it was amazing. We had such a
2:00
great time. We had a wonderful tour guide named Jack, and boy was
2:06
it fantastic. I highly recommend to folks who want to know more about the
2:10
history of the studios, and you know, it weaves in obviously the older
2:15
movies and the stories behind that, which is they did a great job about
2:20
it. A very quaint tour. I mean, we filled up one little
2:25
tram, you know. Love it. They ushered us into a waiting room
2:31
in which it was a well, it was like a room in which they
2:37
gave us. They're like, okay, be in here, make yourselves at
2:38
home, and we'll be leaving for the tour in a few minutes. Help
2:43
yourselves to baked goods, coffee, tea, snacks, other beverages and listen
2:50
to some lovely calming music. I mean, you're listening to the Chariots of
2:53
Fire soundtrack while you're having you know, pastries from Portos that were complimentary,
3:00
and I was like, boy, do they know their TCM audience, you
3:04
know what I mean, because the other tours were not getting this. Let
3:07
me tell you. So we're just sipping away and just a quaint, little
3:10
quiet group. We get then escored into the screening room where we get this
3:15
gorgeous California intro by Ben Mankowitz and the rest of the gang from TCM.
3:22
And if you're not a TCM fan, I apologize you can skip to the
3:25
Top Chef recap as well as the Love Island recap or even the Serving Dish
3:30
part portion of this show. But I will say we did get to go
3:37
on the prop house, which the other tours do not get to do well.
3:42
And you know, we got pointed out all three houses the Doris Day
3:45
filmed movies in, whereas the other tours aren't going to get that, you
3:47
know what I mean, nor would they probably care. So it was just
3:52
so wonderful. Also, my daughter is doing the Annie Musical this summer at
3:57
theater Camp and on New York Street. They have like a mock up of
4:02
you know, in the back lot where they have all the set sets,
4:08
like the outdoor facades of buildings where they shoot. They have New York Street,
4:14
they have Hennessy Street, they've got a Midwest area. And on the
4:17
New York Street they showed us the Orphanage that was well, that was the
4:24
Orphanage in the nineteen seventy two version of Annie. And oh, Deanna is
4:29
getting choked up now and that would kill me. That's just epic. That's
4:32
my childhood. That's just epic. I'm telling you, Deanna. I was
4:36
floored. And he's like, and that was from Annie. I'm like,
4:40
oh my mom and dad and I were like, oh my gosh. And
4:42
he's like, wow, a lot of Annie fans here. And I was
4:45
like, my daughter is doing the musical this summer. So I got to
4:49
take a picture of that and then show Maddie when I came home, and
4:54
it was just so special. I love it. You know, Amy,
4:59
have you con considered. I know your plate is full doing tours of the
5:05
I've loved to know. I mean you would what a dream you would literally
5:11
be why people would like come from across the country. Oh my god,
5:15
I would be like a star is born. That's where Garland is where she
5:18
sing that song on that bridge. It's my favorite part. No anyway,
5:23
go on, whoa no that like to give it the Amy Phillips jogification is
5:30
like, that's insane. Let's not take it off the table. Okay,
5:34
let's just put it. We'll put on the table with all the meals that
5:39
the Top Chef contestants contestants are prepared for that table scape challenge. We're gonna
5:44
throw that idea on the board, all right, carry pop it on over
5:46
there. Okay. But if you get into like I do, think,
5:53
sure, can you do Turno Classic move a Turno classic movie, you know
6:00
podcast for the Patriot? Absolutely yeah. I also yeah, because your listenership
6:08
is down to clown with these movies, Like I saw them in the comments.
6:12
It is like you activated them, you know. Yes, I also
6:17
think you could put out your own TCM podcast that would do gang Busters.
6:29
Let me tell you, Deanna, I've been thinking about this for a while
6:33
and I do want to do it, and I've even mentioned this to Emily
6:39
because she is a huge TCM watcher as well. Now do you watch TCM
6:46
not actively? Okay, you could chime in with my mom growing like tons
6:53
and tons and tons, but I have that background I do. Then I
6:58
feel like that will definitely be a spinoff. I already have titles in the
7:02
mix, and I absolutely would love to do a second podcast. Obviously not
7:08
in the cards for that first year of launching drama Darling, but I do
7:12
think it deserves its own podcast, That's what I think. And I would
7:16
love to do interviews with people. I would love because when I was on
7:20
Serious XM, I did interview Alisha from TCM about that incredible spinoff, not
7:29
spinoff, this little series that they did about fashion in the film. It
7:34
was incredible. It was one of the best documentary series I've seen. I
7:39
need to see that. It's great. You can get it like online.
7:44
But and that being said, in the TCM tour, we got to go
7:47
in the prop house, but no one gets to go in wardrobe, and
7:50
that is disappointing. Nobody gets to go over there. You also don't get
7:56
to see why, because I think it's just too vulnerable. You know of
8:03
a situation. I mean, it's such an active area and so is PROPS,
8:07
which is why they don't have people in and out of there with these
8:09
tours, Because we were in there and some guys, you know, people
8:13
are rummaging through there looking for a nineteen eighty seven phone. You know,
8:16
they've got their list. They're in there, they're moving through your through you.
8:20
And the reason why they're letting the TCM folks in there is because it's
8:22
such a small group and we're just tame and quiet little mice, you know
8:26
what I mean. There's no kids in it. It's it's that's why that
8:33
being said, I highly recommend it. It's only been out, they've only
8:37
been doing this for less than six weeks. It's very new. Oh how
8:41
did you get alerted to it? I saw the commercial. I saw the
8:43
promo on TCM and I was like, oh, my god, my parents
8:46
are coming. They're gonna die. I mean, you know, to see
8:50
this on the tour, you know, that was bleak. Yeah, but
8:56
they're going to freak out. And I knew they'd want to do it,
8:58
so I immediate got the tickets. But the other thing is too we bailed
9:03
on the last quarter of the tour because they're like three parts, so the
9:09
last part, you're gonna go and do the rest of the tour that everybody
9:11
else is doing. Like, you're gonna go through and you're gonna see the
9:13
costumes from like d C Comics, all the superhero stuff, the Harry Potter
9:20
stuff, the interactive stuff. You're gonna get that quarter of the tour that
9:24
everybody gets with everything else. It's just that you split off at the beginning
9:28
and then you all end up together at the end. So you basically were
9:33
like anything modern, we don't need. We'll leave that to the right.
9:37
We're gonna just kick it old school and then let them feast the regulars rags,
9:46
let them enjoy, you know, we don't want to muck it up
9:48
for them. We'll be on our way. We'll be on our way.
9:52
And they did a great job with that because you know, I mean,
9:54
obviously they're not shooting you know, they're they're not gonna be shooting uh I'm
10:01
sorry, I'm uh like gaslight, you know what I mean. They're not
10:05
gonna be shooting these old movies right now, so they're not gonna be able
10:07
to point out what stage that was on, but so they can tell you
10:09
the history and it's visual and they have the screens in the little trams by
10:16
the way, those trams, those little shuttles that they take you on,
10:20
and just being outdoors and being skirted along in the weather. It's just so
10:24
relaxing. Wow. I would like to again, did your mom or maybe
10:33
you could do like a giveaway and do bring a listener. I don't know,
10:37
we're spitballing today. We are, well, you know, maybe we
10:39
should do that on the on the new podcast. Hey now, I will
10:46
say my dad was just thrilled about the snacks. You know, I haven't
10:50
stopped thinking about the snacks since you said it. Because what's what's easier than
10:56
grabbing some high quality the Portos pastries and getting a little coffee going nothing but
11:05
guess what that is a surprise and delight that the consumers will never forget.
11:11
I you kill me, And let me tell you my parents and I were
11:18
floored because we had little peanut butter frozen sandwiches in my bag to be eaten.
11:22
Because this tour starts at eleven thirty, that's right in the middle of
11:24
lunchtime, and for people as regimented as this Phillips family. Let me tell
11:28
you that was going to be a problem. So I loaded up with whatever
11:31
it was that we needed. I have to take care of those folks.
11:35
And by the way, we did eat those peb and J's at the friends
11:39
mock up Cafe because you end up in the you know, oh man,
11:45
it was just so great. My dad went nuts about the seasoned pretzels.
11:50
He was like, these are seasoned. I mean, he was just on
11:52
cloud nine. I feel like I've spent way too much time talking about this,
11:56
and so I apologize that this is super bored. But that being said,
12:01
it's been a busy week because my parents are here and so you know,
12:07
every and Maddie's like in this theater camp and just everyone's high needs around
12:11
me. There's a lot of high needs happening, including my own self.
12:13
So there's just like things that need to be taken care of twenty four to
12:16
seven and it's just a fun time. But boy, oh boy, if
12:20
I'm not up late, late late watching this stuff and up early early early
12:24
watching Love Island, you know, it's crazy. It's unhinged. It is
12:30
unhinged. So yeah, without further ado, Deanna Chang, I feel like
12:37
we do need to get into a little dish. Okay, first and foremost,
12:45
as we did the Lifetime movie recap of Mommy Minas starring Lisa Ritta,
12:50
I want you all to know that there will be an upcoming recap of another
12:56
Lifetime movie starring Bethany Frankel called Danger in the and that is airing this weekend.
13:01
Please set your DVRs or stream it. It is June sixteenth. It's
13:09
up for grabs. I have to check in with the darlings and see who's
13:13
up for watching this and recapping it. Dean, I don't know if you're
13:15
into it. I don't know if you're so turned off by Bethany at this
13:16
point that you're like, it's a hard no. You know, I still
13:22
consume it all, okay, Bethany. I reject it emotionally and consume it
13:28
daily. So take that however you want to. But yeah, I will.
13:33
I'm more actually interested in seeing Bethany than I would have ran enough.
13:39
For whatever reason, I just I can't stop with her. I really,
13:45
it's so rare that I skip something. It just is great. Well,
13:50
lock yourself in then, please this next week, because I'd like to be
13:56
part of it, and I do feel like you have your finger on the
13:58
pulse of what she's doing in all the right for all the right reasons,
14:01
you know what I mean. And I love that. No no, no,
14:03
no, no, no, no, you're you're you're on it.
14:05
I want to support that. Thank you. And then also, and then
14:11
if you haven't heard the Mommy Meanas, that's here free anywhere you get podcasts,
14:16
you can find the Mommy Meanest episode. You know, you just scroll
14:18
back and ups and you'll find it. And it is a freaking romp.
14:22
You're gonna laugh your ass off. Jamie and Angela and I did it,
14:26
and you know, Jamie Moyer, I mean, you guys, come on,
14:30
It's hilarious. So that's coming up. There are a lot of rumors
14:33
circulating if you see online today about the cast of the Real Housewives of New
14:39
Jersey being like Teresa, Dolores and Rachel and Jen are safe. But I
14:46
was actually watching a Georgio Says video and he was like Andy Cohen did an
14:52
interview with E and he said, look, we have not made any casting
14:56
decisions. This is all completely up in the air. And if you see
15:01
any rumors out there, it's all lies. So we're seeing that that's out
15:05
there and now we're snatching it down and saying that Andy is saying this is
15:09
all la. So that's that. I will say. I do think Andy's
15:16
pretty truthful when it comes to that stuff in you know, I do think
15:24
he usually keeps it. He doesn't. Yeah, maybe not one hundred,
15:30
but like eighty nine, right, yeah, never one hundred. I mean,
15:33
he could never keep it one hundred. Come on, come on,
15:39
hey, guys, guess what Denise Richards. I know you all know what
15:45
I'm gonna say, But she is going to be starring in a new docuseries
15:48
following her life and family. People is reporting that she cannot wait for this
15:52
adventure. It's gonna it's set to premiere on E in twenty twenty five,
15:58
and it's a reality show. It's gonna be wow, it says Denise Richards.
16:03
And the Wild Things, set a premiere on E twenty twenty five,
16:07
comes sixteen years after her family's last reality show, which saw her navigating her
16:11
divorce. Yeah, isn't that crazy because I remember watching that. Uh Nope,
16:15
I don't. I reject that. In the name of Satan, sixteen
16:19
years Satan begone in the name O my Jesus, she signed this deal.
16:26
It's the show is called Denise Richards and the Wild Things. They and I
16:34
announced this the other day. What else can I say about it? The
16:37
thirty minute episodes, I'm going to capture the ups and downs of her life
16:42
with her husband, Aaron Fifers Fipers. I didn't realize that was his last
16:48
name. And also sheen with I'm sorry, her daughters Lola, Sammy and
16:59
Elouise. So she's very excited to return to E. Wow. Well,
17:04
you know, it almost makes me recall something you said during the which I
17:11
thought was extremely astute when we were recapping. Yeah, when we were I'm
17:18
fellow not really described as that, but I'm very excited to hear you.
17:23
Oh what very much. So when you kind of clocked that Erica, when
17:32
they had that little spat and Erica was like, and your daughter is on
17:37
only fans and she kept saying it, you were like, there's a world
17:42
in which that does. That was a little bit helpful to Denise, And
17:49
that might have been something set up a little bit because even though it looks
17:55
negative and shady, what she is saying is like, go check out my
18:00
daughter's only fans. Yeah, wow, and so and now we have you
18:07
know, more interest around her wild things, which I assume are her children
18:12
and Aaron and mister Aaron five G. You know so mister five G.
18:18
Yes, wow, Yeah, that's a really good point. It's interesting to
18:25
me that she is. I mean, I guess you know, she probably
18:30
maybe wanted to come back to Beverly Hills and it's just not a good fit.
18:33
I mean, it's just not the right fit. She could never like
18:37
really get in there and make it work. It just never seemed real.
18:41
It never seemed she was always so lost. So and you know, it
18:45
worked for her with her family on e So I think it's a great fit
18:49
if she wants to go. And and I think her being on Beverly Hills
18:53
is what really kind of put her in a poised position to have her own
18:57
like reality show. So lucky her and thanks to you know, Bravo for
19:03
that opportunity. Right. Yeah, it's complicated. That was the name of
19:10
that first one. Oh my gosh, you're so right. It was.
19:15
Yeah, it was good. It was really complicated, as maybe the title.
19:22
Actually it didn't seem complicated at all. It was pretty straightforward. But
19:30
it's really funny. I agree. Oh I forgot to mention on the heels
19:37
of the Jersey News that Teresa has a new podcast out called Turning Turning the
19:41
Tables, you know, off of her book. But remember when she was
19:45
doing Nama Stay Bitches, Like what happened there and what happened with that that
19:49
gal that she was doing it with, you know, I mean, it
19:52
seems like very questionable that that went hour do we I have no intel on
20:03
that at all. Is there rumors or anything like are people talking in the
20:08
streets? I don't know. I did kind of fear like they had a
20:11
falling out or something like that, or maybe that wasn't doing well. I'm
20:18
not sure, but I will say there is some smoke going around about Louis
20:22
and this Vivivnia company that he hasn't paid allegedly like this three hundred thousand dollars
20:30
too, And I haven't really dug too deep on that, but there are
20:33
headlines about that right now. So that's happening in the universe that I don't
20:37
have the energy for, you know, no, So I'm just gonna let
20:42
that sit now. There is also a lot of summerhouse news when it comes
20:47
to Kyle and lindsay, I'm sorry Kyle and Amanda. WHOA is that a
20:52
Freudian slip? And I'm gonna save that for Friday's recap of Summerhouse. Your
20:59
bish thing therapist is going to be joining me this week, and that's over
21:02
on Patreon. If you haven't subscribed, please do patreon dot com slash drama

21:22

21:26
get to be a spokesperson for Factor Meals. I am so obsessed with these
21:30
meals. You guys know, joke, it has kind of changed my life.
21:34
I know you guys are all busy much, maybe probably doing way more
21:38
important things than me, saving lives, what have you. And when you
21:42
don't have time to cook, Factor Meals gives you so many different options.
21:48
You can choose from many different things. You can get calorie Smart, Protein
21:52
Plus and Keto. These are fresh meals. They are never frozen and you
21:59
can just heat them up in two minutes you're done. Also, don't sleep
22:03
on the juices. So like I got when they sent me my stuff,
22:08
they sent me some complimentary juices and I was like, oh, okay,
22:11
cool, like a ginger turmeric, you know, situation and like a beat
22:15
radish blah bah blah. And I was like, Okay, I'll give these
22:19
a try. I'm not always like a great juice person. Sometimes those just
22:23
don't fly with me. Absolutely delicious and no joke. I love, love,
22:32
love these meals. Now I've gotten chef's choice. That's an option.
22:36
You can get chef's choice and just let them choose for you. And that's
22:40
what I've done so far. So me and Bred have really really enjoyed that.
22:42
But like I said, you can get different categories that work for you.
22:47
You can get your keto, you can get your protein thing, you
22:49
can get your calorie smart. These are dietician approved. You don't have to
22:56
cook, you can. I can't say enough about Factor meals. It literally
23:00

23:37
to you by Body Smart one on one coaching. Let's talk about health and
23:40
fitness. Do you feel like you need to starve yourself or do hours of
23:45
cardio to see any progress? I know that That's how I've been feeling getting
23:49
you know, older. Let's say I'm in my fifty and look, the
23:55
fact is most of us know what we need to do to lose weight or
23:57
to get healthier. It's actually putting that into practice that's so difficult. But
24:02
it goes deeper than just a meal plan or a workout schedule. It's about
24:06
tackling the mindsets that have been holding you back and restructuring your thoughts in your
24:10
life to make taking healthy action feel easier. I know that in the past,
24:15
I've benefited from having a health or nutrition coach, and guess what Body
24:21
Smart one on one coaching is that it's like having a coach in your pocket.

24:29
struggles. You have someone there so that you don't have to second guess your
24:33
choices anymore. The Body Smart guarantee is that you'll lose thirty to sixty pounds

over your food diary, discussing your workouts, and working through life's ups and
24:48
downs. Body Smart Coaching promises to be the last weight loss program you'll ever
24:52

26:27
all right. I am just I'm pleasantly not surprised. I'm pleased with
26:36
who the top four were, and I feel, you know, the top
26:42
two at this point, I'm happy with a little disappointed. I'm sorry,
26:49
it's top three. I apologize, it's top Okay, I apologize, it's
26:55
just that. And spoiler alert, we got Dan and Danny that were the
26:59
top two. And then that's why, in my mind, they had to
27:00
go back and decide between Lara and Savannah. It was the writing was on
27:07
the wall, the food was on the table. We knew it was going
27:10
to be Savannah, you know, time told, and I thought Lara did
27:15
a great job. But it's interesting to me because she was the only one
27:21
out of all of them that did get kicked off and worked her way back
27:23
from Top Chef Kitchen. And that's always interesting to me because it can go
27:27
either way. You know what, I mean, you're like that she went
27:32
so far, you know, she almost made it into the top three,
27:34
and good for her. But when that happens, it's always like, well,
27:41
maybe there was a reason that person went home earlier, you know what
27:44
I mean. Yeah, I mean, listen to four is phenomenal, you
27:48
know, So it's phenomenal. She did great, head held high. You
27:52
know. I think that initial shop where she took the lion's share of the
27:59
money and left Danny without still haunted her, you know, and haunts you
28:04
and us me haunts us. So you know, I think we were ready
28:10
to let go and let God on her. And she did a great job.
28:11
And I'm impressed with her. I think she's she's not necessarily like someone
28:18
for reality television, but I do think she's pretty amazing. She's incredible and
28:25
what a sophistication. You know, her food is sophisticated. She is the
28:30
picture of sophistication and elegance. And yeah, and I do love that about
28:36
her because it's almost like she's so cohesive with what she puts out there,
28:40
you know what I mean. Yes, I think that boy, that fish
28:45
challenge was so freaking hard, and you know, it was the calm before
28:52
it was the storm, but not in a good way. I was gonna
28:56
say it calm, but it was the storm, and now we need to
29:00
get the rainbow. And I think that happens on every season with the regular
29:03
Top Chef contestants, not all stars, but like these contestants, they have
29:08
gotten so far and they're just like the next step is it. That's when
29:14
they kind of all ship the bed, you know what I mean, and
29:15
they have to put it out. I was really trying to understand it because
29:21
I'm like they had which we'll talk about that incredible meeting with the chef from
29:29
that you know, from Chef Morimoto, from Iron Chef from Iron Chef,
29:34
and they all were It was like I was trying to understand psychologically what happened.
29:40
So they had this sort of maybe they they it may have been too
29:45
big of a meeting for them. Actually it's a great point. And then
29:49
they were swimming with the humanity. I don't know whatever they are, you
29:57
know, I don't know. Huge No, I was wrong. No,
30:03
they were like sting rays, right, yeah, I believe they were sting
30:07
rays. But I don't know. I mean, did we did we jotted
30:11
down I don't know. I don't I'm so used to it is sting rays.
30:15
I'm so used to every like reality show swimming with these sea creatures that
30:19
I've now finally forgotten. But I can tell you it's definitely not a manatee,
30:25
if you if I can't remember the comedian that says it, he's a
30:30
huge comedian, but he calls a manatee like a sea cow anyway, whatever.
30:36
No, they're actually called sea cows in real life, like that's their
30:40
other name for them. And this comedian is like, why am I called
30:45
a sea cow? That's so rude, you know. Anyway, Sorry,
30:49
we digress, and we digress. But so there. Yeah, they went
30:52
on this still gorgeous Kirasau karraseuh sting ray swim. Yeah yeah, And I'm
31:00
like, did that you know? I know? Danny was like, wow,
31:03
I have to kind of I've just been in the water and I'm relaxed
31:08
in the sun. Now I have to kind of gear up. I was
31:11
just like, I think their energy might have gone up and down too many
31:15
times before this cook and they just I was trying to understand it because it
31:21
was kind of a disaster. Oh my god. By the way, it's
31:25
Jim Gaffigan that has the I mean, he's so funny and like, I
31:29
love the sea cow joke. But anyway, it was such a shit show.
31:33
Yeah, from beginning to end to even have like, well, I
31:38
was a little confused that Tom would stop up in Dan's words, his like
31:45
undercooked fish, that you would stop it all up and that, So that
31:49
gives you no clue of how well you did, because now here Danny's walking
31:53
away thinking, oh, he sopped it up, and then to come back
31:56
and he's like, yeah, Danny says, or Dan says he hasn't cooked
32:00
dorato in five years and he still hasn't. It was undercooked. I was
32:05
like, oh, snap snap. Tom was snapping hard. He was red
32:12
snapping hard. Okay, he when he said they like to say they're cooking
32:19
scared, is the yes cooking snapsack Like he was just hitting them, you
32:28
know, when he's not happy, and he wasn't. I I just you
32:32
know, I'm so in Collegio's energy, you know, And really he was
32:40
really looking around like, yeah, we invited y'all here, but I don't
32:44
know why. I don't know why you're cooking scared? Uh, you're playing
32:47
it safe on both courses, and you had two chores, you know,
32:51
you had two tries, and everyone else was chiming in when we like pushed
32:57
off with like, well, Savannah's first dish and one of the guests was
33:02
like, I mean it's clunky. There's too many chunks. I was like,
33:07
you don't want to hear anyone describe your dish with chunks. And then
33:14
and then to go into Laura's dirty, murky, muddy scented banana leaf that
33:22
was bitter, I was like, and this is where we are, like
33:25
this is the final four tough Yeah, Yai, I don't know from a
33:34
banana leaf. I didn't know that it could be that precarious. Quite frankly,
33:40
like she acted like she really knew about banana leaves and how they're gonna
33:47
help keep a moist fish together. But that banana leaf really, like,
33:57
especially in the in the critique section, Kristin was like, I opened up
34:04
the banana leaf, a smell hit my face that I could never recover.
34:10
It's stuck in my nostril hair, Like, oh my god, whatever's going
34:15
on with that banana leaf. It's not casual and you best know what you're
34:19
doing with it. And I don't know. I just don't know what happened
34:23
there. I mean she didn't clean it properly apparently, and certainly didn't steam
34:30
it properly apparently, and it looked like it came out of my compost box.
34:37
So and I'm not and I'm not a great composter, you know,
34:42
Like that was beyond I'm making banana bread and I've been, you know,
34:45
holding on to these bananas for six weeks, Like it was worse than that.
34:51
It was bad and the sauce, the sauce was good, and I
34:55
guess the fish was cooked well but not not good. And then her grouper
35:01
was complete severely undercooked. And when I mean severely, you can't cut through
35:07
it. Them talking about baking as opposed to roasting, because she's like,
35:12
oh, I just baked it. I was like, I mean I can
35:14
bake fish. You know what does that say? Yeah? So that was
35:20
so so so hard. I was concerned about Savannah and when you do that
35:24
when there's two little fish and too much bread? But why are we giving
35:30
bread? She knew she needed to pivot because the bread was not working out,
35:36
and it's like she needed the thing. That was also so crazy about
35:40
this amy was that when they position when Christian, you know, when the
35:45
host positioned what this challenge was going to be, it's going to be You're
35:52
gonna get two different preparations, six fish dishes. The chefs all looked very
35:59
excited in a way that I haven't seen them be that exciting. Yes,
36:04
Dan was like whoa okay. He practically almost took his glasses off, you
36:07
know, he was like raw steamed moves, poach what And then for him
36:13
to just latch on the black end. I was like, this is life.
36:16
Yes, it's it's the most pumped they were. I was like,
36:22
Oh, they love this, this is their jam, and that's why I
36:27
have to look at them meeting the you know Ironrimoto, Yes, you know
36:32
it just like I don't know, we just went we went high high high,
36:38
whoa hot like it just I don't know. They fell apart really and
36:45
truly it was too part of me thinks it was too broad, and I
36:50
think Savannah is the one that said it, and we've said this before.
36:53
When you're given too much leeway with a challenge, whether it be on Project
37:00
Runway or Top Chef, you get lost. Because creative people do well with
37:07
a structure. If you put them in a structure, then they can kind
37:10
of like push the boundaries of that structure. But if you like are just
37:15
like the world is your oyster, they're like it's too much, you know,
37:17
because they can't. It's just so many ideas going on. And that's
37:22
why, like when Savannah was like, oh, I was gonna do this,
37:23
but then I ended up doing that. I did pure the ginger,
37:27
but then I threw some extra in there. You know, she started to
37:30
second guess herself. That moose seemed like, I mean, such a huge
37:36
hashtag fail. I can't believe that Danny even made it like above the rest
37:42
to be one of the first picks to go into the next round, because
37:45
that moose seemed like such a train wreck. That his second dish must have
37:50
been so good in comparison, you know, obviously, but a moose is
37:54
so tricky. That was garbage. That was garbage. So who wants a
38:00
fish moose? I mean, I was expecting Patay was moose? What was
38:07
the what was his he delivering on for that? Not moose? Right?
38:15
He did see deuce sea moose, fine fine herb, salad, scotch,
38:24
bonnet and green garlic spheres. They love those spheres. That that's what saved
38:30
that dish. Don't know what a goddamn sphere is, but like they loved
38:35
it. I couldn't make heads or tails of it. I can't figure out.
38:40
Okay, great because I was like, they love a sphere, garlic
38:44
spheres, Scotch bonnet and green you know what. I've got spheres on my
38:50
face because I meant to look up scotch bonnet and I didn't. So we're
38:54
all going to do it right now. And I love the people who are
38:58
yelling right now at me telling me what they are. Great. Wow,
39:04
it's a pepper. It's a pepper. It's it's it's almost as hot as
39:07
I have an arrow. My lord, I didn't expect that, Okay,
39:12
never never would have expected that. But Amy, I'm seeing, I'm I
39:16
but the moose, I am seeing that. One of the the brief did
39:22
say specifically a moose a steam. Yeah it did. It did say okay,
39:28
so he had okay, oh, oh, I see what you're saying.
39:31
But see so when they gave you when they said, do uh do
39:35
a moose steamed with separate raw then steamed? Then oh yeah, yeah,
39:39
when poached, fried, roasted, smoke blackened moose. I've never heard of
39:46
as a fish moose. I was expecting a pat. I honestly don't know
39:51
how you can make a fish moose and make it good. I'll just say
39:54
that, and I'm going to just step aside. You said what you said,
39:59
and you said it quite plainly, quite plainly. I've heard it.
40:07
You know that. Oh by the way, the the what you mna call
40:14
it, the quickfire with that lion fish was insane, insane, Like I
40:22
have you had Agua Chile? No? Have you? I haven't, But
40:29
the amount of Agua Chile in this season, I think it's trendy. It
40:37
must it's got to be trending, trending hard because almost every episode someone's with
40:45
the Agua Chile. You're right, and it's a Mexican dish made of shrimp
40:51
and raw fish filet submerged in liquid, seasoned with uh, chili, pin
40:59
peppers, lime juice, salt, slices of cucumber, and slices of red
41:02
onion. It's almost it sounds like a savich, yeah, but in a
41:08
liquid. So but yeah, it is so trendy right now. Hmm.
41:15
I'm looking at the other one. I was curious. I'm like, I've
41:19
never seen it on a menu, but I'm sure I will. I really
41:23
thought Laura's Grouper with the pepper glaze and the the emulsion and the pineapple broth
41:34
was gonna be gorgeous and yummy, and that was so disappointing to find out
41:38
that it was a real flop. I mean, that was a real disappointment.
41:44
It just looked like it was going in the right direction. But you
41:46
just never know. You don't sometimes, you know. The most amazing thing
41:52
about these shows is that we do not get to taste the food, oh
41:59
man, but we can feel like we have mm hmm. So here's a
42:06
picture if you're watching of Laura's that looks really good to me. Okay,
42:10
me too, turned out to be awful. This is a picture of Danny's.
42:15
This is his smoked rainbow trout, plantain and pumpkin puree hazel that lemon
42:20
relish. That kind of sounds disgusting and it looks pretty gross. In fact,
42:25
I don't know what I would do with that. Maybe there, but
42:29
they raved about it. And on top of that, I would not want
42:32
to do a black and fish. I understand why black and black and stuff
42:37
went out of trend because so many people did it poorly, which one of
42:39
the chefs pointed out, I know people do still like to do it.
42:45
I do not. I've never liked blackened. I just don't like charred or
42:50
blackened because it just it's too bitter for me and too dry. But I
42:53
did appreciate, which is what they pointed out, that he did cover it
42:58
in this pure because then it became more moist, and I thought maybe I
43:02
could get behind that and so but underneath this foam, I mean, it
43:07
just looks disgusting, so unbelievable that it was such a hit. Oh wait,
43:12
you know what I'm I'm so sorry I was showing you. That was
43:15
Danny's. That was Danny's smoke thing. But they still love that. They
43:19
love that. Yes, Dan's black and coarse, here's what it kind of
43:23
looks like, free does. Yeah, so I'm saying Danny's look disgusting,
43:30
but they loved it, and so wow, I'm impressed. And Dan's black
43:34
and one they loved it too. And the mandarin butter sauce and dil they
43:39
loved that too. Gail was like, why skimping on the Mandarins, and
43:44
I don't know what he said about do you know how hard it is to
43:46
do something to Mandarins? And I don't know what that meant. But wait,
43:52
that's real shop talk, this real shop talk. So well, anyway,
44:00
we obviously know that Danny was the winner. They loved the spheres,
44:05
they loved his his everything. And Dan makes it to the finale and so
44:13
does Savannah and Lara goes home and I'm okay with the way things settled in
44:19
really bummed that Michelle went home on that table challenge and can we talk about
44:24
that real quick? The table challenge that was a mess though. She was
44:30
like, here's an eight foot table, I'm gonna use six inches of it.
44:35
That was just dumbfound. I was dumbfounded. And the judges were like,
44:38
hello, man, that was tough. Michelle was a star personality plus
44:46
made a lot of good dishes and made a lot of mistakes. So I
44:52
mean, I'm still mourning Rosska Oh Rossica, yes, Ra Rossica, Yeah,
45:00
I loved her. She was a star. She was killing it.
45:05
But then you know, it's we have to release them, why they've gone.
45:10
And she's great for TV too, And let's also acknowledge that she's like
45:15
only twenty six. I want to say, she's so young. So I
45:19
do feel like we'll see her again in some doubt area of Top Cheft.
45:24
When they were announcing the winners, I'm sorry the contestants that move on to
45:29
the next round, and Kristen was like, as, it's fantastic, and
45:35
then this finale is fantastic and you're going to remember this forever, and she
45:38
got choked up, and I just loved seeing her passion for it. To
45:43
have her be reminded in such a humble way of what this meant to her.
45:47
What it means to her just assures me that she's such the right person
45:52
for this job because she has kept her vulnerability, she's kept her passion and
45:58
her humility, and that means so much to a viewer. And I think
46:02
to those chefs, she's so incredibly relatable. Totally agree. And they needed
46:08
it because it was such a disaster, quite frankly, the meal and they
46:15
all kind of had their tails between their legs and were not even celebrating that
46:20
they were making it to the finale, which is not what you want from
46:24
here. So they really needed it and it did completely change their energy around
46:32
and I was tearing up. It was amazing and so incredible. Yeah,
46:37
she's great, and it was the perfect pep talk because she was like,
46:40
you know, you guys did it like that challenge is behind you. Put
46:45
it behind you, and that's what you need to do. And I think
46:47
having them all pretty much mess up in some way is what is going to
46:52
set the stage for so much success because they've now gotten out of their system,
46:59
their nerves in their food and they shook it, shook it like you
47:02
know, they had horrible dress rehearsal, you know, and that makes for
47:06
a great show. So it's very excited. It does it does it does?
47:10
Thank you? Thank you for that. Oh so excited. Well shall
47:15
we move on to let's make our way over to Love Island. Come on,
47:22
let's go, let's do this. Wow, Fiji, what an island,
47:27
you know. Just to see those overhead shots of like just this island.
47:31
I mean, it's truly remarkable what they've done. And I have not
47:37
yet been much of a Love Island person in the past, so this certainly
47:42
was an eye opener for me on many levels. I did watch. I've
47:45
watched like an episode or two in the past, but yeah, I really
47:51
had to get reacquainted. Now there was two there were two episodes on I
47:55
made it through both, Deanna. I think there may have been a couple
48:00
missing pieces that you may have missed from the second episode, but rest assured.
48:04
I will keep you up to speed, and I think you probably got
48:07
all the flavors that you needed. I think so. But I do have
48:12
to like talk about Ariana at first, because I think she's doing a phenomenal
48:15
job as the host. What do you think, Dana, I think she
48:20
looks. To say she looks stunning is honestly an understatement. Like when she
48:24
came out in that gold dress, I gasped, I know, amazing,
48:31
wow, wow, wow wow, you know wow, she looks goddess esque.
48:39
Now I love her as the host. What I am finding is that
48:46
when she has to speak the written words to kind of you know, whatever's
48:52
on the queue card, I have to imagine we're getting a little robotic delivery.
49:00
It's not, you know, like I have to go back mentally to
49:05
Nicky Glazer, Nikki Glazer, who did she didn't do Love Island? Yeah?
49:12
She did? Like Boy Island, Like, isn't it Slutboy Island?
49:16
Oh? God, I mean, you cannot compare to Nicky Glazer. I
49:22
know it's not fair. It's not fair to anyone, but I know exactly
49:28
what you're saying. It's just a you know, I need her to throw
49:31
it away a little bit, because when she's just talking to everyone and she's
49:37
just asking questions, it's she's doing great. I'm just so very stilted with
49:44
the delivery on like Rob and Jenna, you are now a couple, like,
49:51
come on, Ariana, let it. Let let's loosen up. Which
49:53
she may as as time goes on, she might, she might not.
50:00
I think I don't think she will. And here's why I think, like,
50:07
on some level it won't bother me as much. I did have to
50:09
work through this in my head as well as watching it too, Deanna.
50:13
So I was like, Okay, here's this gal, and we all know
50:16
the hystory and now she got this incredible opportunity, and so this is going
50:20
through my head this entire time, and so on and so forth. So
50:23
Love Island does have a revolving door of hosts, you know, and in
50:30
many ways they go with the trend, they go with what's sort of popular
50:34
and what can get viewership, not necessarily who's going to be the best talent
50:40
on camera. No problem with that, no problem. So so that being
50:46
said, I took all that into account and I said, yes, she's
50:51
the right person for this job right now. This time will end and we're
50:55
going to move on to somebody else. But in the meantime, she's perfect
51:00
for this because, for example, when she came on and she was talking
51:06
with the ladies and Arianna said, you know, ladies, I have your
51:10
back, and then Leah's like, girl, we have your back. It's
51:15
like they all know the story about Arianna, so they feel comfortable with her.
51:22
They are championing, championing her. She's somebody that they have looked up
51:27
to that has been through something hard and they're going through something hard. So
51:31
the relatability factor I think for the contestants with Arianna is a perfect fit.
51:37
Anything outside of that and seeing her shine from like being where she was,
51:44
knowing that she's gone now from Broadway into this position and she can like do
51:49
the dances. I mean the intro I'm not familiar. I don't remember these
51:54
intros like that came here for love song like of her, everyone's mouthing it
52:00
and doing their own little music video was incredible, incredible. I loved it.
52:07
I was just like, what am I watching? And these people they're
52:10
just so pretty, you know, for life, Like it's just okay,
52:15
we're gonna watch pretty people sing this in this music video and these slow motion
52:21
shots and that's where things are gonna clap. Who you know that it is
52:27
something you're gonna see. They're gonna drop it like it's hot. They're going
52:34
to swing it around and crank it out. Yeah, it's really truly unhinged.
52:39
I mean when they're like, I'm twenty four, I'm a medical analyst
52:44
salesperson. I'm like, and you can move like that, you look look
52:50
at I'm like when I was twenty four, I don't know. I was
52:53
like not, I don't think I knew how to do any of that.
52:58
You know what I'm saying. I'm just so beyond and blown away by this
53:00
generation of people that are so comfortable with just twirking it and letting it out
53:08
for the people. It's amazing. And this is just anybody from Texas,
53:13
because apparently everyone's from Texas. But yeah, they were definitely like I think
53:21
you know, if you're you know, marching yourself over to Love Island.
53:23
You are you know it what you need to deliver on and it's you know,
53:31
you gotta throw your ass in a bikini and quirk around and the initial
53:37
challenge you are going to have your tongue down someone's throat. So these are
53:42
things that aren't for everyone, you know, and it's amazing, like how
53:49
natural this comes to people? Oh? Does it ever? Does it ever?
53:54
Apparently we have some recurring people that, like, there are some people
54:00
that we've seen before. One person who was on the Traders UK that's Aaron
54:06
Correct, Yes, and he won and then gave all the money to his
54:09
mom or he just made a lot of money on that and gave gave money
54:13
to his mom. Well, I think he did give the money to his
54:15
mom. He went he It was crazy because when I saw him, I'm
54:22
like, wait, I know this guy. How do I know? You
54:24
know? I was going through that like wait, I know him from somewhere,
54:28
And then I had I was like, oh, my God's guide for
54:29
traders. You know, I binged all the traders so hard, as you
54:34
recall, I was in UK Gosh, I was just binging them. So
54:37
it all kind of blended into one trader for me, but he was he
54:45
was very emotional on the season. Oh interesting, and yeah, he had
54:51
a very interesting season. But he's kind of a sweetheart and he he's he's
55:00
a perfect guy to have on this show because I feel I feel great about
55:05
him, you know, and so it's great to see him and yeah,
55:09
like good happy. And then we had another person that came back, Rob
55:19
from another season. He didn't find love there and so now he's back.
55:24
Yes, and I think he may be my favorite so far. I was
55:30
going to say the same thing. I can't believe this. Wow, okay,
55:36
real quick. The voiceover comedian guy. Yeah, you know, at
55:40
first, very jarring and the shower, but some pretty good bits. I'm
55:45
not gonna lie, some pretty good bits and that's okay, and I'm okay
55:50
with it. We need him, you know, we do actually need him
55:53
to take us through this journey. Yeah, Arianna's looking gorgeous, and I
56:02
think that she's just really there to set the tone and then like leaves say,
56:07
and then so then when those new guys came in out of nowhere,
56:13
and she's like, no one should be alone on Love Island except unless two
56:22
new guys show up. And then they do this slow mow and she does
56:27
like the high tens and then she walks through them and she just looks so
56:30
banging in that cute little like sixties outfit. Amazing. I think it's all
56:36
about looks and just delivering. This is the thing again, I have to
56:38
go back to Ariana. That is interesting to me about like the entertainment business.
56:43
She's doing a job that any host could do. Sure, what makes
56:47
her stand apart is her background and that people are rooting for her, her
56:53
relatability, her notoriety, and that's the stamp that she's putting on it.
57:00
If you were to compare her to other Love Island hosts, which I don't
57:04
know of which who they are, they're going to all bring something different to
57:07
the table. But her twist is like always going to be the you know,
57:13
I get it, you want to go for someone who you can trust,
57:16
wink, you know that type of thing, like I've been through it.
57:20
So for that reason, amazing. She's stepping into that host role and
57:24
she's doing it in a way that any host would do it. And I
57:30
don't agree. Okay, no, no, no, I no, no,
57:36
Here's what I would say. Okay, I think she has delivered hard
57:42
since the scandal and what's you know everything, She's all these opportunities, she
57:50
dancing with the stars, Oh my god, incredible. From everything I hear,
57:55
her Broadway performance is honestly amazing, and she's killing it. I would
58:01
have liked to have coached her on this one, because yes, looks wise.
58:07
Does it make sense to have her on? Is she the moment?
58:10
Yes, yes, yes she's the moment. Yeah. I am feeling like
58:17
she needs a little coaching, you know, And I would have loved to
58:22
get my hands on her and just sort of shake her a little bit because
58:27
she's stiff. So that's it, extremely stiff. No, I agree,
58:30
And back to what I was saying, I should imply I imply this,
58:35
but I didn't stress it. Hosts are stiff. Like, if you're just
58:40
looking for a host, they're not going to be They're not going to put
58:44
any spice on it. But if you're looking at like a personality and someone
58:47
who is like a comedian or an actor, not a host, a comedian
58:54
or an actor ederteiner who has that charisma, they're gonna it. I wonder,
59:01
And what you're saying goes along with like my questions for behind the scenes.
59:06
This had to have happened super fast quick. Yeah, there's probably a
59:10
million production things that where she has to hit her mark. She's probably spending
59:15
more time in wardrobe and fittings than she is anything else, and they're probably
59:22
writing her stuff on the fly. I wonder if she has an ear piece
59:24
in and she's having to repeat, or if there is a tele prompter.
59:29
Either either way, she's probably getting like last minute lines and she's having to
59:35
read them right there like cold reads. That's what I'm getting. However,
59:40
look alive. Just let's loosen up a little bit, let's sake, said,
59:47
I one agree with you? So. Uh. You mentioned Rob was
59:53
your favorite. He's my favorite too. He's the one I'm most attracted to.
59:57
Do you have a favorite gal? The gals are so much fun.
1:00:02
They really are a great group of gals. Yeah, do I have a
1:00:08
favorite? That's such a good question. I mean, they honestly are are
1:00:13
really fun and charming and adorable. So, I mean, I don't know.
1:00:21
I I gosh, Joanna, I was gonna say, Janay is my
1:00:25
favorite. I really really really really want Janay and Cordel to work out.
1:00:32
They just seem so perfect together, you know, They're like the fact that
1:00:39
no Coy Coy. I'm sorry, these names they're so crazy. They're like,
1:00:46
oh, I'm sorry, Jane boy, I'm talking. I'm sorry.
1:00:50
I'm sorry. Serena might be my favorite. You like Jane, who's a
1:00:53
coy Serena and Cordel. I like Serena. I really want to work out.
1:01:00
Like the fact that they were wearing the same colors. They're both from
1:01:05
Houston, they both have had like five years, they both got out five
1:01:07
year relationships. They're like freaking out that they have too many similarities, and
1:01:12
I'm thinking, is it too many? You know, is it too many?
1:01:15
Or are they like literally made for each other. I don't know.
1:01:17
Well, the interesting thing is that he is Odell Beckham Junior's brother, and
1:01:23
he hasn't revealed that to the Oh, so they don't know yet. I
1:01:30
don't believe they know that, which I think is good. It's great.
1:01:36
Yees. So I think she likes him, and I think she vibes with
1:01:39
him as a person, but I don't know that she's hot for him.
1:01:44
Yeah, I mean the fact that Toy got three gals up on his little
1:01:49
pedestale good coy is I mean? I feel like they're objectifying him alone.
1:01:54
All of it too much is making me like a tiny bit uncomfortable. And
1:01:59
I know this is Love Island, but I'm like, we're really in his
1:02:06
sneaker size and he's like, I'm just like, okay, yeah, but
1:02:10
he's a gorgeous man. I mean, no problem there, you know.
1:02:16
Uh. And I like him. I do. I like him, you
1:02:21
know, I do enjoy these guys so far. And the girls it's a
1:02:27
like it's a fun group. I mean, the one that's Hannah is a
1:02:30
disaster area. Oh my god, she makes me laugh. I mean the
1:02:34
talking with your mouth full, the and then please share with us what stood
1:02:39
out to you about her. Okay, so you're gonna see. And it
1:02:45
has kind of changed hues over the two episodes, but she has a an
1:02:53
amount of bass foundation on her face that is not meant for anyone. It's
1:03:04
also certainly not meant for the outdoors in the baking sun. Right that's active
1:03:08
where no like she needed like a BB cream and like just some spot concealer.
1:03:17
But she is. You have to do a lot of making out on
1:03:21
the show. And we see immediately when she sucks face with Koi, she
1:03:29
leaves her foundation. She will leave a foundation mark the likes of which they
1:03:37
have the size of Texas. The size of Texas. It is milky cream.
1:03:44
Foundation is left off, disgusting, vile. It's disgusting. And we
1:03:51
do get to see her like the next morning applying it and you're like,
1:03:54
oh my god, we have so much like contour and oh lord, have
1:04:00
mercy. No, it's just wild. So she did that to Coy and
1:04:09
then she also did that later to Kendle because they got matched up together and
1:04:15
that was it almost happened with someone else, but she was like, I
1:04:19
don't want to get makeup on you. All. Yeah, I'm gonna thank
1:04:24
god gee, but I'm like, you can't just stop a kiss from happening
1:04:29
because of your makeup. You need to fix the makeup so that you cannot
1:04:31
stop a kiss. You know, you can't just work on that later.
1:04:35
I know this is going to be her work. You know, this will
1:04:40
be her work as as she moves forward in life. Is to like take
1:04:45
it down a notch. The games that they play, the Ice Breakers,
1:04:48
where it was like kiss the person that you're intimidated by, the one with
1:04:51
the green flags, the one with the red flags, the player, the
1:04:54
heartbreaker. It's just so I mean, it's very Bachelor. We've seen that's
1:05:00
on The Bachelor, but this is really one after the other after the other,
1:05:02
and it's just like you, I'm sorry, Like I am not,
1:05:05
I couldn't do it. I'm like, no, right after you kiss somebody,
1:05:11
I don't know, I'm gonna need a little palate cleanser. Yeah.
1:05:15
Can we get a Sherbert? Can some Can somebody bring out a lemon Sherbert
1:05:18
so I can just thet one, blend something to some a banaka blast something,
1:05:26
rotten banana, peel, anything, just some of the fish from the
1:05:30
top chef fish moose I can have in between in between makeouts. Oh my
1:05:41
god. So we've got these pairs that have really kind of locked in because
1:05:46
we've got Janey and Coy they're holding firm. We have Kaylor which that name
1:05:54
is killing me and Aaron. We have Leah and Rob who have been split
1:06:03
up by Incoming Live. We have Serena and Cordel and Hannah and Kendall.
1:06:10
So Live comes in and left forgot to pack fun, smiles and passion and
1:06:20
charisma and personality. She left those all behind. But I like the fact
1:06:27
that she's so different from everybody. However, everything is I feel like I'm
1:06:33
on an interview with you know, I guess we're on a business interview.
1:06:39
I mean, she's got she's not fun at all. I don't know how
1:06:42
she's there aside from being gorgeous. What are we doing here? She couldn't
1:06:46
connect with a seashell. She's gonna be single. She's gotta go. She's
1:06:57
got to go as fast as she came. Wow. I mean I'm wow,
1:07:01
wowow. Sorry, this is a takedown. This is a real,
1:07:05
live takedown. I've seen her interact with enough people to know that no one's
1:07:11
going to bring that out of her because it's not there. I mean,
1:07:15
am I was not expecting this? This is I like that her voice is
1:07:21
lower, you know, and a little bit more chill. Everyone is just
1:07:27
off the charts with their energy, and it's a lot to take in.
1:07:30
So I do love that she infused some grounding with us, But you need
1:07:35
to also pipe up. Well, am I dead wrong? Tell me what's
1:07:40
up? No, you're right. I do think that she's lived a life.
1:07:45
I did have that thought. Actually, It's like, especially when she
1:07:48
was with Rob, because Rob likes Leah and Leah's quirky. Yeah, and
1:07:55
Leah's you know, she's she got a little quirky book. Even like there's
1:08:00
just she's just off this off center and this live has marched through life,
1:08:11
never being rejected, no never. You know, she thought, whoever she
1:08:16
chose was gonna throw a little ticker tape parade. But unfortunately Rob has been
1:08:25
here, done that on Love Island, and he really knows what he knows
1:08:30
when something special, and he just wants nothing to do with the girl,
1:08:36
which honestly is going to be character building for her. She needed it.
1:08:42
I like that she was checked. You're right, m And I think her
1:08:46
reasonings for picking him was, I mean, he was it was like the
1:08:51
guy that you can't get. She finally found someone that wasn't gonna, like
1:08:56
you said, throw a ticker tape parade for her because he wasn't giving her
1:08:59
that vibe when they even talked during the interview, because that's what it felt
1:09:02
like. It was just it was so sterile. But I do like that
1:09:10
Rob is kind of like making avocado toast for the two ladies, and that
1:09:15
he's also playing the game. He is saying, I don't want to not
1:09:18
give you a chance because this is how I felt last time, and that
1:09:23
person didn't give me a chance. So I want to give you a chance.
1:09:26
So it is kind of funny that she's being served up, you know,
1:09:29
some humble pie. I mean, he might as well have served that
1:09:31
to her instead of avocado toast. It's so true, like watching her receive
1:09:36
that was fun because she's never He's basically like I am listen, listen,
1:09:45
live listen. First of all, she's only five to seven. I thought
1:09:48
she was six feet tald the way they kept talking about how tall she was.
1:09:51
I'm so like, I'm five to seven. I didn't realize I was
1:09:57
such a giant. I know. I'm like, okay, we're both I'm
1:10:00
five seven and a half. I didn't know it was going to move the
1:10:03
needle. I'm sorry, I didn't know put me in line, put me,
1:10:08
bump me over to koy at this point exactly, so the way that
1:10:15
he said to her, essentially, which is what you just that of just
1:10:17
reiterating it, basically just like, I'm this is a make a wish moment,
1:10:26
and you are you are special and I am going to give you this
1:10:30
time because you know, yeah, it just she's never been treated like that
1:10:38
in her life, and she just I will say, she just sat there
1:10:41
and received it. I mean, I think she was so confused. She
1:10:45
was confused, you know, like I guess he doesn't. He has to
1:10:49
really work through giving me the time of day, right now, Yeah,
1:10:55
like that's new. And then then they're trying to find some common ground.
1:11:00
None couldn't and that just even going down to music and she's like, oh,
1:11:06
Ed Cheran, he's like overrated, and she's like what and it's like,
1:11:11
I mean he is, but like whatever, Ed Sharon caught a stray
1:11:16
on this one. For sure, I'm happy. I'm fine with that,
1:11:18
you know, great, great, And again another reason why I like Rob.
1:11:23
He's not basic. Apparently he's a snake wrangler apparently, and so that
1:11:30
means he catches snakes, but he's more like a reptile, preventive reptile.
1:11:35
But I don't know what he does, but I like, I'm taking it
1:11:40
in because I couldn't tell you what that job entails, except for he said,
1:11:45
like everyone's house has a snake in it? Like was that a joke?
1:11:48
I got scared? Oh that's weird. I don't know. But the
1:11:53
fact that she confused insects like snakes were insects is what is the most concerning
1:12:00
takeaway, and that's not forgivable. So anyway, what else? Okay,
1:12:12
So then we get these other two guys in here, and h oh gosh,
1:12:18
let's see Yeah, okay, so two new guys. Connor comes in
1:12:26
and he I did think it was hilarious that the other guys were making fun
1:12:29
of him for walking like the terminator, like he was very funny. And
1:12:34
he kind of snatches up Kaylor and every time you say it, it's so
1:12:43
absurd, it really is Kaylor. Connor kisses Kaylor. But Kaylor's heart is
1:12:51
really with back with Aaron, which is really really nice. But but Connor
1:12:58
seems like marriage mater material for Kayler, so she likes that, but she
1:13:01
usually goes for like the immature boy thing, so she's kind of caught between
1:13:06
a rock and a hard place. But I did feel like she did connect
1:13:09
with Kate with Connor, and she's having a connection with Aaron, which is
1:13:13
really nice. Hakeem that came in. He's got a great personality. I
1:13:17
really like him, love that he wears socks to bed. He connected with
1:13:21
someone about that can't remember who I was it Hannah, Oh my god,
1:13:29
Oh she's so funny. She is a rip. She is a disaster area,
1:13:33
like caution tape, big time and the red Flags, which she hasn't
1:13:38
had like a serious relationship. And he was like, oh boy, that's
1:13:41
a no, which makes sense because she doesn't know that her foundation rubs off
1:13:45
on men, so that does check out. I did like that Live pulled
1:13:53
aside Kendall and they decided that they don't like veneers. I think we can
1:13:56
all, you know, understand that they I mean, look, God blessed
1:14:00
that they have perfect teeth. But not everybody's gonna have it. But I'm
1:14:02
glad they found some common ground. At least they have some common ground.
1:14:09
And now Leah is single and she goes to bed single and her reaction to
1:14:15
Live stealing her man was like, ah, I hope you guys have fun.
1:14:18
I hope it works out. Was very sad. But she seems content
1:14:28
with like being scooped up by these new guys and like getting attention from them,
1:14:31
which is very very cute and cool. And the guy seem intimidated by
1:14:36
the new guys, which is always fun. And for them to be checked,
1:14:41
what did you think, did you happen to see Cordell talking about how
1:14:45
he wants to be an actor and he does a bit of a monologue to
1:14:50
I did, okay, well, that's not good for him with the gal
1:14:58
that he is with, Serena, because she did not like that, and
1:15:01
she shut him down right away in the middle of his monologue. And I
1:15:03
didn't like that. Give him the time. Yeah, please, you asked
1:15:08
for some lines. Yeah, he's delivering them, and you're running around and
1:15:12
spinning, running away and laughing as hard as you possibly could, humiliating.
1:15:18
He handled it well, he did, because I also was like, he
1:15:23
loves to laugh, he loves all things funny. But that monologue did seem
1:15:26
serious, and it did seem like he was doing it. I couldn't tell
1:15:29
if he was doing it as a joke or if it was serious. So
1:15:32
I think he crunched the numbers and he said, I've just been asked what
1:15:39
my passion is. I said acting. There are may be a few agents
1:15:43
watching, and I'm gonna go ahead and deliver some lines. And he didn't
1:15:47
do it very well. If maybe she did him a favor, you know,
1:15:53
I didn't think it was terror I honestly was like, all right,
1:15:58
I mean he knew the words, give him that, but he can't be
1:16:00
a dramatic actor, that's for sure. Well you wouldn't think, but I'm
1:16:06
leaving it open for him. I really am. Oh my god, Amy
1:16:12
okay okay, No. I jotted this down and this was maybe my favorite
1:16:16
thing in this series thus far. Whoa what? Okay? Okay? So
1:16:23
we like Rob and with and we like him with Leah. When they first
1:16:29
had their first conversation, and you have to imagine they're on television, it's
1:16:36
overwhelming. They're liking each other. There's so much they've chosen each other.
1:16:42
And they were passing their one brain cell back and forth, so they were
1:16:48
trying to ask each other questions and then one would answer and the other one
1:16:53
be like, no, I need the brain cell and like pass it,
1:16:56
and that shit killed me. That was pretty funny actually, because that's and
1:17:04
that's why they're a cute match. And that's why I Live can't compete because
1:17:10
she doesn't know that that she would not know that that's funny because she doesn't
1:17:13
know what she doesn't know what fun is and doesn't know how to have fun.
1:17:16
Right, She's she should be hosting the show. She could poor.
1:17:26
We ps so happy for Ariana, truly, truly, it's amazing. This
1:17:31
is like so many things are working, absolutely absolutely, these are just like
1:17:38
so many things are working. There's just one area that needs attention, you
1:17:43
know, and and slash a needs attention. That's it on the report card.
1:17:47
Something else a rob. Wait, who's the guy that's a deckhand on
1:17:55
a super yard. Oh yeah, that's wild to me that he like has
1:17:59
all of these reality TV you know, crossover things. It's like, I
1:18:02
wonder if he ever auditioned to get on Below Deck met or regular below Deck
1:18:06
or who knows what, because the fact that he's a deckhand on a supriat
1:18:12
is wild to me. And he's been on Traders, so this guy has
1:18:14
had quite the reality career. It wouldn't surprise me one bit if he was
1:18:18
considered for Below Deck and was supposed to be on the season and then it
1:18:21
got pulled away for Traders or something. Oh wow, Well he can march
1:18:27
hisself right on over there. Please then, do please do do so.
1:18:32
Well, we'll leave it there. It'll be fun. I don't know how
1:18:35
often this is on, so we'll just keep tuning in. They had two
1:18:41
episodes up at the start. We'll see how they do, like how often
1:18:45
they pop these things out? Because I'm new to this. Yeah yeah,
