In this Episode we talk about a humid August day and summer going by too fast, packing your days full to get ahead of the winter slump, Amanda going to her sister's bachelorette party in the Poconos and pretending the rental is a villa, how badly Love Island is mixed and having to master it yourself on the remote, the premise of Too Hot to Handle, the robot named Lana that runs the show, the prisoner's dilemma, whether producers plant decoys to make people break the rules, how much plastic surgery is on these shows, whether there are people building their bodies specifically to get cast, how you can afford to leave your job for a month to go on a dating show, the risk of getting voted off the first episode and having nothing to come back to, Temptation Island, Married at First Sight and Love is Blind, the suicides connected to the Love Island franchise, how going on a show like that becomes a permanent part of your life, Bonnie Blue's old real estate listings, wanting a disclaimer at the top of these shows saying these people are not normal, influencers and IRL streamers not being well adjusted people, how there are never any real consequences for them, losing your sense of reality when people stop seeing you as a person, and inventing our own dating show where contestants have to conduct Arctic research in Alaska with decoy scientists hidden among them.
