  • so fun

    I have been saying for a long time how I was a queer dating show- just a bunch of hot pansexual people that I want everyone to kiss each other. This show is delightful and fun.

  • My newest queer brain candy obsession

    I started this podcast thinking it’d be good silly background noise. By the last couple episodes of season 1, I was staying up til midnight binging bc I HAD to know what would happen!! Love the representation & the contestants’ authenticity - so so fun, a queer little treat for my queer little brain.
