  • Too much politics

    Stu doesn’t have an original thought of his own. His political beliefs and hyper political friends ruin the podcast. Looks like it’s ruined some friendships too.

  • Don’t weigh in if you don’t watch the shows

    If you don’t watch Summer House or any other reality show don’t bother with your stance. The situation is more nuanced and your stance is indicative of your limited exposure. To say nothing of your abhorrent behavior via Jeff Lewis. Which isn’t surprising….

Why The Traitors Finale Was PERFECT — But The Reunion Was A Flop
Q: How did the reunion compare to the finale in terms entertainment versus game-crafting?
The reunion delivered drama and big personalities, but many felt it leaned too heavily on Housewives-style drama rather than deep game analysis, which detracted from evaluating players' strategic moves.
Why The Traitors Finale Was PERFECT — But The Reunion Was A Flop
Q: What stood out most to you about the finale in terms of gameplay and strategy?
The finale shined when Maura challenged expectations, and Johnny and Tara rose as surprise stars, but the most pivotal moment was Maura's vote swing and how it redefined who seemed faithful versus treacherous.
Dorit CAUGHT Lying?! Mauricio Exposes The Texts (ft. Keith Carlisle)
Q: What was your rose and thorn of the week?
Stuart shared his rose was being in LA with Keith, while his thorn was a bad flight experience with JetBlue. Keith mentioned his rose was the weather.
