  • Loved the Jag and Jess post win interview

    They were extremely kind to these awesome guys about some of the terrible experiences they faced during their race. They also gave them the much deserved props and respect they deserve. Jess is awesome too I love hearing her opinions and takes. I know they are very fondly and fans of Paige and Izzy and yet they were very open to hearing the guys’ side

  • Used to be great

    I truly miss Rob’s old style. Had a little bit more of a freeform energy and less coming off like a souless shill. I also liked I like a lot of the old guests He’s either stopped having on which is OK… But he’s actually scrubbed all the archives of their episodes. It’s a bummer. But he’s deadly afraid of being canceled so gotta walk the line right…

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Who REALLY is Rob Cesternino? w/ Nicole Cesternino
Q: Is Rob good at socializing with new people?
Nicole explains that Rob is good at small talk and can schmooze well.
Who is Colton Underwood? – A Traitors S4 Profile
Q: How far do you think Colton will go?
I think he's like perfect fodder for that early part of the game. But I don't think he'll be first out; I could see him not making it to the midpoint of the game.
Who is Colton Underwood? – A Traitors S4 Profile
Q: How do you think Colton will fare on a show like the Traitors?
I think he's going to be a little out of his element here. I think he has no issue with the physicality of the game. I think he might have problems with the mind game of it all.
Who is Donna Kelce? – A Traitors S4 Profile
Q: How do you think Donna will take to Rob Cesternino and vice versa?
Donna may feel like a fish out of water socially, given her age and background, but Rob is friendly and likely to recognize the strategic potential in working with her.
