Too Much Feedback, from me not your mic.

Survivor Pod: please stop spoiling every other season, not everyone has seen them all.

Bananas: really toxic conversations that feel misogynistic. Love the shows he recaps, wish it was a different host doing it.

Bachelor Party: no notes, love!

Morally Corrupt: Callie Curry really shines as well as Jodie Walker. Rachel’s weakness is continuity in watching the shows and having encyclopedic knowledge the other hosts bring.

Generally hiring more female voices and allowing them to achieve power positions across The Ringer brand is something that is needed.

RIP Tea Time, we miss you dearly.

Johnny Bananas!

Love Johnny Bananas! Would love to have Justina Valentine back on 🩷

YupOkay ,

Juliet and Callie Rule!

Juliet is the best. Morally Corrupt is so much better with Callie. Rachel unfortunately is too close and she and Jodi thinking Katie and Arianna are great is weird, as a former reality star she can’t see how insane and dumb these people are. Everyone in Vanderpump is awful! Everyone! That’s why it’s fun.
