Stumbled upon this when a Traitors USA finally came to the BBC here in London. They’re funny, sharp, and insightful. Emotionally mature. Irreverent and silly in a laugh out loud way. Sensitive dealing with eg racist or sexist stuff (LIB Netherlands thinking of you). Thank you !
Heee I love your podcast but would love to say as well as a Dutchie, that we have 18 million people in this country. Not 300.000 👻 for the rest, keep up the good work!
They are a light in my day ✨ Love you both ! Their laughter makes my day ! The Bachelor recaps , Q&A , and call ins are my favourite. I notice lately some ads popping up in the middle of them talking. Oh , but the rants! They sometimes get sooooo off topic ! It feels really disrespectful to the person who wrote in. Can you PLEASE focus more on the person in need of help ? ! I would love a separate podcast about your take on things , but please , please stop doing this on your regular episodes! ... more
I’m new to the podcast but going through the back log- they are so charming, I could listen to them all day!
They do a great job breaking down all the “love” shows. Great insight and thoughts on all the interesting characters in reality TV land. I really enjoy listening to Dear Shandy on my drives.

A sharp, witty duo blends relationship coaching with reality-TV recaps, offering practical dating wisdom alongside candid commentary on contemporary dating culture.

The tone is warm but no-nonsense, with humor, personal anecdotes, and frequent sponsor reads that keep the conversation accessible and entertaining. A standout trait is the banter-driven chemistry between the hosts, who mix entertainment insight with actionable relationship takeaways, making it appealing to fans of both dating-advice shows and reality-TV analysis.
