The hosts compare Casey — who came back honest but is getting the most hate — and Sincere, who lied about his relationship with Amora and is flying under the radar. Their verdict: Casey is bad but upfront; Sincere is the season's most dangerous villain because he's hiding it.
TikTok and Reddit users noticed Melanie and Kenzie were absent from the couch during the most explosive fire pit moment of the Casa Amor recoupling. Fans believe producers removed them before the fight escalated further and are demanding Peacock release the unseen footage.
Page Six reports Stevie Nicks and Tim McGraw will perform at Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding. Tim McGraw was Taylor's first commercial hit; she's long idolized Stevie Nicks — so the choices track, even if Ben is skeptical any of it is real.
After discovering that Mariska Hargitay's husband Peter Hermann appeared in the Netflix film '13: The Musical,' Ben revealed Josh Peck played Rabbi Shapiro in the same movie — and Claudia dropped the bombshell that Ariana Grande was also in the Broadway version.
If money were no object, Ben would open his wedding with Secondhand Serenade, move into Third Eye Blind, Fall Out Boy, Blink-182, Simple Plan, and close with Meatloaf. Claudia would keep it tasteful: Rascal Flatts, Luke Combs, Taylor Swift. The debate reveals just how different their tastes are.
Jalen Brunson attended Mariska Hargitay's Broadway one-woman show 'Every Brilliant Thing,' alongside her husband Peter Hermann. Ben reveals he's actually met Brunson through a mutual friend — and is attending his charity golf tournament.
Claudia auditioned for her high school senior play with 'Don't Rain on My Parade,' got a minor role, had her song cut — then fought to get it reinstated — only to have her mic turned off at the performance. Faculty were reportedly still talking about the performance years later.
JLo made a surprise appearance at Prime Video's Obsessed Fest for the 'Off Campus' panel — but the real news is her Netflix rom-com 'Office Romance' with Brett Goldstein, which Claudia and Ben both called one of the best movies they've seen in years. JLo was magnetic, the chemistry was real, and old-school rom-coms are officially back.
Brett Goldstein wrote Ted Lasso, co-writes Shrinking, and now wrote and starred in 'Office Romance,' a JLo Netflix hit that has Claudia and Ben convinced he's one of Hollywood's most in-demand talents. His old-school-meets-new-wave approach is exactly what the genre needed.
Summer House's Wes Wilson and Amanda Batula were spotted vacationing in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, visiting family — a sighting sent in to Du Moi by a fan. They reportedly exchanged 'I love you's' at a bar. Ben, who recently had dinner with castmate Jesse Solomon, offered no intel.
Sincere claimed he only kissed Amora 'a few times' at Casa Amor — but was actually in a full relationship. He came back lying, while Casey came back honest. Claudia is baffled by the lack of fan outrage directed at Sincere, calling him the clear villain of the season.
Ben Soffer praised the Love Island USA producers for transforming an initially dull cast into compelling television through heavy-handed production decisions over the final weeks. Claudia agrees: breaking up OG couples made everything more interesting.
