Latest Episodes

Where to Start

Are Housewives Ruining The Traitors?

On this week’s @Betches, Sami and Aleen live react to the McDonald’s CEO burger video that has the internet fully roasting him. From there, they get into their latest obsession with Love Story on FX and why the JFK Jr. and Carolyn Bessette mythology is still so addictive. Then it’s the SAG Awards rebrand confusion (aka why are we calling them the “Actor Awards” like when did we all agree to that?), plus the standout moments they actually enjoyed. Finally, they talk Jim Carrey clone conspiracy discourse, why everyone is losing their grip on reality online, and wrap with a Bravo corner featuring RHONY casting chatter, Traitors finale aftermath, and Summer House updates including Amanda’s new era.

Is Tyra Banks The True Villain In America’s Next Top Model?

This week on @betches, Sami and Aleen unpack the weirdest cultural crossover of the moment: rewatching early reality TV through 2026 eyes. They break down the America’s Next Top Model doc (and the trauma of it all), how the show aged, and if Tyra Banks seems remorseful. Then it is Olympics time, with a truly jaw dropping story about ski jumpers injecting hyaluronic acid and updates on the Olympic Village condom shortage. Olympians are truly freakyyy. Finally, Sami breaks down the Tell Me Lies series finale which has Aleen truly gooped and gagged.
