Send us Fan Mail Happy Wine Wednesday! We had an unprecedented ending to Season 9 of Love is Blind with NO marriages.  It was the right outcome, but shocking nonetheless.  You're also getting an unprecedented episode of the podcast this week, as I am solo for the first time ever.  When Candi and I can get our schedules aligned, I promise to get her thoughts on this season, as well as the Love is Blind France discussion we promised. I start off, by going back to the finale to talk about the failed weddings of Ali/Anton and KB/Edmond.  I also talk about their very anticlimactic reunion segments.  I have a hard time thinking Ali was ever into Anton, especially because she didn't bother to have some very important discussions with him about his strip club patronage.  Apparently, it was all about slides and the way he walked - going alllll the way back to Baja.  Despite being the main topic of discourse this season, KB and Edmond felt like an afterthought at the reunion.   From there, I get into the rest of my reunion thoughts.  This includes all of the questions that should have been asked of Kacie instead of the weird Chris Paul segment. What was that?! Kacie is a hussy, but she is not to blame for the breakup of Madison and Joe.  Nick sounded rehearsed but at least he made an effort to take accountability, unlike Kacie. Overall, the reunion was very disappointing but I still enjoyed the season nonetheless. Would love to hear your thoughts on the season - shoot me an email or hit me up on social media. Thank you so much for listening! Friendly reminder - we drink, we know things, we use adult language, and we have a great time (even when I'm flying solo).

Send us Fan Mail Happy Wine Wednesday! Candi and I are back to discuss Episodes 10-11 of Netflix's Love is Blind Season 9.  We focus on the couples we were relieved finally called it quits - Nick/Annie and Madison/Joe.  Like ALL of the featured couples this season, these people had no business getting married.   We wrap up with our predictions about the remaining couples and whether or not the say yes - or even make it to the altar if you've taken a close look at the preview.  We will get into a more robust discussion about what happened with these pairings when we reconnect to discuss the wedding episode.  I think we might have our first season with no marriages and, honestly, that's the right outcome here.   Thanks so much for listening!  Friendly reminder - we drink, we know things, we use adult language, and we have a great time.

Send us Fan Mail Hey lovely listeners! Check out part two of our conversation about episodes 7-9 of Netflix's Love is Blind (US) Season 9.  We talk about Nick and Annie, why everyone hates Nick, and whether Annie's hair is sentient.  We close out our couples discussion by unpacking Edmond and KB, who become more unwatchable with each episode.  We really enjoyed the pod reunion mixer, although I had a lot of choice words for Anna and Patrick. Enough of them (and Kacie)! Leave them at home - don't even bother with them at the reunion.  Finally, we run through our wedding predictions - I am still firmly on team no one says yes. Thanks so much for listening! Friendly reminder - we drink, we know things, we use adult language, and we have a great time. Until next time!

Send us Fan Mail Happy Wine Wednesday!  Candi and I are back to unpack the mess and drama that unfolded in episodes 7-9 of Netflix's Love is Blind (US) Season 9.  In part 1 of our discussion, we cover Ali/Anton, Madison/Joe, and Megan/Jordan.   Ali meeting Anton's friends is one of my favorite friend meetups of all time thanks to Joe's MESSY girlfriend.  We are very exhausted with both Madison and Joe and would truly like to be removed from their contentious, nonsensical group chat.  We remain steadfastly committed to "Team No Marriages" this season, but if there is a couple that has a chance it would be Megan and Jordan. Part 2 will hit your feeds by the end of week.  In that episode, we talk Annie/Nick, KB/Edmond, sentient hair, the pod reunion mixer, and how I truly don't want to see  or hear from Patrick, Anna, or Kacie ever again.
