Read moreThe Bachelorette S16E4: Apologize to the Group
Our own positivity about this episode is surprising, even to us. But in a post-Trump world, we’re just breathing a little easier, and maybe a sappy, over-the-top love story was just what we needed while we waited on election results this week. So yeah, we’re pretty much all in on Clare and Dale. Come at us. Let’s see how the teams did this week.

Ah, the 2020 Bachelor Mansion…a.k.a. the La Quinta Inn
It’s the most wonderful time of the year: Bachelorette season!

Read moreRiverdale S4 — Our Mid-Season Thoughts
It’s 2020, and as promised during our Riverdale Season 4 First Impressions post last year, we’re back, and we have opinions! As we luxuriate in these precious episodeless weeks between the first half of this trash fire of a season and the second half, we’re here to talk about what’s gone down so far, what is yet to go down, and whether or not it should be legal for this television show to exist at all.
Read moreThe Queen Stays Queen: an Appreciation of Survivor’s Sandra-Diaz Twine
Over its 38 seasons, Survivor has had its fair share of memorable characters, from inimitable winners like Tony Vlachos and John Cochran, to strategic masterminds like Cirie Fields and any number of likeable people in between, but ever since Season 20, Heroes vs. Villains, one has stood out among the rest, the only two-time winner, Sandra Diaz-Twine.
In preparation for Season 39, Island of the Idols, Todd and Mary have been re-watching old seasons of Survivor that feature both Sandra and “Boston” Rob Mariano, and after finishing Game Changers one thing became clear, the title of Queen is not bestowed lightly, and it only belongs to one player. So in this post we will be talking about all things Sandra (and we might even include some Rob love as well).
A SPOILER WARNING, I GUESS? for Survivor: Pearl Islands, All-Stars, Heroes vs. Villains, Redemption Island, Game Changers, uh, and a bunch of others probably. Just, read at your own peril if you are not thoroughly versed in Survivor lore and don’t want to be spoiled.

Kelli: Thanks. This is the first time I will have to publicly reckon with the choices I made when I drafted this team. If I were Susan, I’d be extremely mad at me.
Emily: Yeah well… unfortunately some of the dudes you picked are still around. I hate all of them. #Mike4Bachelor #TeamPeter #TeamTyler #TeamAnyoneElseButLukeorJed
