News & Gossip w/StorytimeWithRikkii: Temptation Island Reunion, LIB, Bach // Love To See It Podcast

The past few months have brought us a bounty of reality dating shows – and with them, a bounty of reality dating show gossip! For the first part of our show, we’re joined by the TikTok gossip queen behind Storytime with Rikkii and the Reality Receipts podcast, who helps us make sense of all the “Love Is Blind” and “Temptation Island” madness. First, we break down the post-show “Love Is Blind” season 8 drama, including the fallout of Monica calling out Joey and Sara for secretly dating. Then, we react to all the “Temptation Island” tea, along with all the jaw-dropping antics (mainly from Grant) from the unofficial reunion on The Viall Files. Finally, we end with “The Bachelor” news: Grant and Juliana’s post-season press rounds, Litia’s social media ascension, a bunch of ‘Bachelor’ babies, and Katie Thurston’s cancer diagnosis and marriage.
