We love a giveaway. Let's, okay, so we're talking about the Atlanta reunion today. But Barry, because you were not with us on Friday, I want to ask if you have any lingering thoughts about the first part of the summer house reunion. Oh, do I? We, me and my girlfriends sat at like 1 a.m. and watched we were out. So then we came home. We have to watch Summerhouse reunion. Like, are you kidding?

Like, I need to. And we watched it. We set up like a movie. It was one of the, it was a great reunion, I have to say. So it was all cast firsthand. Like that was clearly like episode one. Like that's what it was. And you know what?

Like was we've talked about it all weekend. Like, a lot. lot of this stuff she was being blamed for is are things she did. So I, because, you know, when you see someone getting attacked, attacked, attack, attack, you do tend to feel bad. Like, that was a lot for, you know, for anyone to take in. But at what point did she need to be held accountable for the things that she was doing? So I agree. I do think there is, there are certain things where it's like, I felt like some of the issues that were between Hannah and Kyle or Hannah and Luke. I felt like, you know, maybe Lindsay and Danielle were chiming in a little too much and it felt a little bit like,

okay, like, you can have your own issues with her, but like you don't have to like pile on when it's something else. But in general, I do feel like those lines were kind of drawn in the house. And it wasn't any like, I don't think anybody went into the reunion with a plan of like, we're going to, you know, tear Hannah down or whatever. I think that's just like the way it played out. Unfortunately for her, she doesn't have a lot of friends in the house right now. she has Sierra and Paige and everyone else is kind of like not a fan. Lindsay made it clear to Paige that she was here for, um,

page like I've been here for four years. And Lindsay was like, it's been three. And like that was so I'm actually, well, one other thing about Hannah and Kyle, like when Hannah was like, Kyle,

I've never talked about bad about your relationship. Like I wish you well. And then even like the whole cast was like, big girl. Like, no, you never once. But I'm excited for next week. I feel like this is even more drama filled

because now I feel like more people are getting involved because me and my friends were all like, why are Danielle and Page fighting? That seems pretty random. But it seems as though Paige is now sticking up for Hannah and Danielle is like yelling at Hannah and then now I think they all start to like bombard page.

I just need more than anything. I need to know the context of this moment that we see in the clip in the trailer where Paige just goes, fuck you Danielle. Like I need to know. how we get there. I'm sorry. Just team, Amanda's a fucking glow up queen this season, this radio. Like, are you kidding me? I just there, you can't say anything bad about her.

It's funny. One of my friends is watching. I can usually find something bad to say about people, you know. True. One of my friends is watching Summer House for the first time right now. And he's on, like, season two and he was texting me, um, something about like, oh, I kind of like Kyle and Amanda, like, even if they end up breaking up. And I'm like, huh? And he's like, oh, I just assume they're not together anymore. Because he's so, oh, yeah. Yeah, like, no, they actually have like come such a long way. They're like, our little babies.

It's good. Like, Lindsay made a point, like, the house started all as friends. Like, I even said this a few, like, a while ago, like, they're clearly not friends. Like, there is a dynamic in that house. They're not friends. I don't know what's going to happen next season. I can't imagine they keep it the same cast. I really can't.

I do think it's a little, like, I understand what Lindsay. is saying, and I think that, you know, she is like the OG, whatever. But I think it's a little bit like, okay, calm down. Oh, yeah. Hannah and Paige have been on the show for three seasons. Clearly the show has gotten more popular as the seasons have gone on. And so it's not like you can say like Summer House season one was this like dynasty and they've like tarnished it.

It's like the show is in a better place now than it was before. Yeah, it's good. It was very, it was a lot. but I again, I really didn't feel that bad. I say this about everything, though. Like, we will never know for any of this, the real story. Like, you know what I mean? Like, what she said on podcast years ago?

Like, all that. It's like such a rabbit hole to go down. And I don't have time for that. We'll see. We'll see. Just focusing on what I'm watching on TV. Girl, winter is so last season. And now Springs got you looking at pictures of tank tops with

hungry eyes. Your algorithm is feeding you cutoffs. You're thirsty for the sun on your shoulders. That perfect hang on the patio sundress. Those sandals you can wear all day and all night. And you've had enough of shopping from your couch. Done hoping it looks anything like the picture when you tear open that envelope. It's time for a little in-person spring treat. It's time for a trip to Ross. Work your magic. Okay, for one reunion to another, let's go to Atlanta. I wasn't that into it, you know? I feel like it's not that there's no good drama or no kind of like interesting things to talk about at this reunion. I just feel like I feel a little bit exhausted by this group.

I don't know what it is because I didn't dislike this season. But now that we're going back, I'm like, I don't like I don't really care about Drew and Latoya. And Dylan, doesn't it feel like they're repeating the like the drama already for? from last episode. They're like bringing up the same stuff. So I'm looking, I was like taking notes as we were going, you know,

trying to, trying to take as many notes just because I feel like they're reunions, they go through things so quickly. And I'm like, okay, Drew and Latoya, Kenyan and Latoya. Kenya and Drew.

Yeah. Like I feel like it's just there's so many like, little individual dynamics. Well, because they did Drew versus Latoya round two. And I was like, did we need like, we needed that? Yeah.

I, I do think that Drew is in an interesting position because, like, honestly, it feels like most of the group doesn't have an issue with her, but Kenya and Latoya are, like, so extra about things that, like, Drew spends a lot of this episode, like, kind of on the defense because Latoya and Kenya are just, like, a lot. But it's interesting, like, when Kenya and Drew were getting into, you know, splitting the check, and Drew says that rich bitch behavior is buying a house that's over a million dollars. And Kenya says that Drew was renting while she was buying. And then Drew says, step up, 400 million worldwide, boo. It's like, what are you talking about? Like, first of all, I don't think Drew Sadorra made $400 million. from step up.

She was talking about the box office. And that was like 15 years ago. Like I love me some Drew, but it was like, I don't think this is like really helping your case that you're like, I was in a hit movie 15 years ago. Yeah, I mean, and then I think that's when one of the other girls was like, that has nothing to do with what's in your bank account right now. And like, listen, Drew's been in one more movie than I have. One, it's she's been in one movie, right?

Or she's done other stuff. Like, she has an acting career. It's just like funny. Step up is like her main gig. She was in the game. Yes. Yeah. I don't know.

She's been in stuff. But like it's just funny that that is like what we're talking about. It was so random. I do think the Kenya and Latoya dynamic is kind of interesting just because they were like besties for so much of the season. And they clearly still, they don't like hate each other. but there are certain things, like especially Latoya talking about Kenya's alimony situation, where Kenya is clearly not over that. And she still feels like Latoya really, you know, did her wrong.

Well, one of the ladies mentioned that it's hard to come back. It's hard to 100% trust someone that you've had, like, problems with. Again, apologies for God who said it and what it was about. There's always so much going on. It was about Porsche and candy. And I think it was, maybe it was Kenya. Like saying that can, basically it's taken candy a long time to kind of actually fully get to a place where she can really let the walls down around Porsche. But I feel like that also goes with this Kenya and Latoya friendship, to be honest.

I feel that's exactly what it is where like they were friends now they're not. And then Kenya's still like, you know, on the fence because of the whole alimony thing. So it's like she, once one thing happens with a friendship. Like it is kind of sometimes hard to go back, depending what the situation is. But it was interesting. They showed that whole montage of candy and Porsche's issues and then how they've kind of put them aside. And honestly, I kind of forgot how big of a problem they had with each other for a long time

because they really do seem so fine with each other now. But it was interesting then seeing that Marlowe kind of used that as like, like a way to call out that something seemed up to her. And it's like, oh, because like at no point when I was watching the season was, was I was, was I like, hmm, why are, why are Candy and Portia so close now? I'm like, I'm not, I know. I'm friends. I also feel that Portia and Candy are too, like, hard people to not get along with.

Do you know what I mean? Like, I feel like candy doesn't fight with that many people. And Portia, like, is like, you want to be friends. Like, I'm not going to hurt you as a friend. Like, I feel like they're just really. two nice people, I think. Maybe it's because I want to be friends with both of them. I think with Candy and I think Portia never, to me, she never like disliked Candy.

She just kind of was, did some bad things to her. And I think she got caught up. She got caught up with Fadra. And that was a whole mess of a situation. And I think she, you know, I think she did some things that she genuinely regrets. But I don't think she ever. was in a place where she was like, fuck Candy, I'm gonna, you know, I'm gonna like mess with her. And so I think now that they've kind of gotten past candies like hurt from that situation and

Portia seems to have actually grown, I don't think they really have a reason to have an issue with each other. Yeah. Okay. Can we talk about Marlow for a second? Ooh, Marlow. Oh my gosh. Andy goes, here comes Miss Badi, yada, yada, yadi.

And she like comes out and does a spin. I was like, but Dylan, remember when she put on her story, like, that she needed a black dress in New York City? I was like, is that what you got? Like, who is that from? I guess. Yeah, maybe like Leah gave it to her. I don't know. She looks great.

She does look great. It's so, this whole LIPO thing is so bizarre to me because Shimea brings it up immediately. And I don't understand why it's such a controversy. If Marlowe is admitting that she has. has had lipo. She's the only thing they're disagreeing on is the timing and whether or not this back injury was made up. And it's like, who cares? You're trying to drag, like, I like Shamiya. I think it's been nice to have her around this season. But like, she keeps trying to drag Marlowe for this LIPO thing. And it's like nobody, like, if Marlowe's admitting that she got LIPO,

like two weeks later, I don't care whether that was why she couldn't twerk on the trip. Like, It is weird the fact that she like is openly talking about. She's like, yeah, I had it. I had like, but maybe. She's like, can't you tell? Look at me. Maybe. That is really why.

And now she's doing like a reverse psychology thing. And that is what's her injury. And now because she's open about it and not lying, she's like flipping it and making them look bad. I think that's what's happening. I do think it makes like Shamiya as someone who sort of is in a position where I feel like she's trying to secure her spot on the show. Like she,

you know, she doesn't have her own storylines and stuff. She's a friend of, whatever. I feel like it comes across a little thirsty that it's like, why are you still talking about this? Like, I don't really care.

I don't know. I do like Shamea though. It's just like, okay, let's drop it. Well, and then I feel bad because it's like I cut, when they bring on people, like they brought up Marlowe and Shmia.

I wanted Shemia to be there for like something, bigger other than, like, you know what I mean? Like she didn't, if that was her only like input on the stage, then I'm like, come on. She was in a lot of the season, this season. Plan B is a backup birth control option that's there for you when things don't go according to plan.

It's the number one OBGYN recommended brand of emergency contraception, and it won't impact your future fertility. That's Freedom to Be. Use us directed. We haven't really talked about the New Orleans trip yet, so I'm assuming that's in part three, but we do get to the dungeon party this episode, or at least the first part of it.

And I think it's interesting because despite all of this Bolo nonsense that ended up happening after the fact. They all seem to really have like fond memories of this party and are talking about it. Like it was this fun thing that they were all doing together and they were, you know,

like having this like fun, free sexual energy. And it's so bizarre to see them like talk about this as like a fun group experience that they all had together. And then you know 10 minutes later they're going to be, you know, going back and forth about Porsche lied

and Kenya was leaking. stories and, you know, Latoya did this and Drew, you cheated on your man. Like, it's weird to me that they seem to still have this, like, positive memory of this party, but then at the same time, it caused so much, like, messiness.

I know. I was waiting for, like, some sort of argument because this was, like, the main drama of the season. So I was like, wait, why are we not, I was very concerned, actually. I was like, why are we not talking about this, like, in the detail that

we should. And then I'm like, there might be like a serious pact going on here or like an NDA or something because it seemed too fishy to not like talk about. Well, yeah. So it definitely seems like we're not quite done with it. Because in the preview for part three, we see I think Marlowe saying something about Portia lying. And I think that's going to be, I'm kind of dreading that because we saw, obviously in South Carolina, Marlowe and Kenya making up with each other. And sort of since then, Marlowe has been more and more on team Kenya. And so I'm kind of dreading at the reunion seeing Marlowe like try to drag Portia along the same lines that Kenya was during the season. Because it's like, I don't think most of us watching ever really felt that strongly about this Bolo stuff. So it's like, I don't want to do it again. Like I don't want to, I don't want to hear another 20. minutes of, you know, Kenya being like, I just want people to be open about what they're doing.

Like, well, yes. And well, speaking of that and below, we let's talk about bringing the baby really quick because she said, Kenya said something about that that I was like, huh? Like, I thought candy was going to like really flip out where she was like, Andy asked a question of like, basically why that she felt the need to bring Brooklyn, whatever. And so. Kenya had the nerve to come back and say, like, if you guys wanted to bring your kids, you would have. And I was like, wait, no, that is not the case. And then she was like, Handy, you, you planned this whole dick in a box thing.

And you couldn't have, like, set up, like, nannies and whatever. And everyone was like, wait, that is not what happens. Like, it's not that's, like, to make those two things, to act like those two, two things are equivalent is so... Yeah. It's so bizarre because they've all been on this show for years. They've gone on many of these trips. They've all...

Like Kenya, they've all had kids now for at least a couple of years. They know... Like, when they're saying that usually they're told not to bring their kids on the trips, they're not making that up. Like, I'm sure that's a real thing. Because on these shows, how often do we see these women bring their kids? Almost never. And so for Kenya to act like, it's like, oh, yeah, like, anybody that wanted to knows they could have.

And Portia's like, no, like, if I knew that Brooklyn was coming, like, I would have asked production. But clearly it's not something where these women just assume that if they want to bring their kid, all they have to do is pay for a nanny. Like, that's not how it usually is. And if Candy is the one that's like planning this trip, it's, of course she's going to plan entertainment. Like, they're on a show. they always have stuff like this. Like it's the same thing as like having a psychic come to the house or like having, you know,

some other type of person like come and do something on the trip. Like that is so different than bringing your child for the whole weekend. Yeah. Yeah. I feel like that. Kenya was like, I only was thinking about myself. I was selfish.

And I was like, wow, that is like a, was that an apology? or no, that was just like her coming to her senses about the crab cake situation. But anyway. Kenya's just, Kenya, that's the tough thing about Kenya is like, I think she is great for the show, but there are certain things where it's like, how do you not understand why everyone is mad right now? Or like, how do you not get that you seem so like in the wrong here? But yeah, I mean, whatever. I'm excited for next week because I feel like this has happened in the past where part two is a little like,

Yes, we've definitely talked about that before. And it'll pick back up, so. Well, I mean, yeah, like I just want to, I want to like put the Bolo thing to bed for real. And I'm interested to see kind of like the conclusion of what's going on with Marlowe and Kenya and Portia. Like, I feel like that just needs to be kind of settled. And I don't know. I don't know how we'll get there. I just really felt the need to look up Bolo's Instagram again, like right now.

And he's not verified, which I'm like upset about. That seems like an injustice. He has 253,000 followers. And like, you know what? Yeah. Are you going to smash the follow button? Not right now. Not right now.

You'll consider it. No. Yeah. You'll take it under advisement. I have to sleep on that. Okay, Barry. What is, it's time to do to grab the skinny pop moment. So endless entertainment calls for endless popcorn. Luckily, every kernel of skinny pop is so light,

crunchy and delicious that we can eat it by the handful or even the bagful. Barry, what is your skinny pop moment? And I will say you can pick one from Atlanta or Summer House. That's what I'm doing, baby. That's what I'm doing. I almost want to give my moment to the entire summer house reunion because that was just a lot. But I'm going to narrow it down to this one scene that I feel,

was not talked about enough. And that was we saw Lindsay get a little activated when Carl said he wishes Hannah. He hopes that she wishes her all the best. And Lindsay, that set Lindsay off in some way where she was like, no, you don't. Don't say that. You don't say that if you don't mean that.

And everyone was like, what? And she's like, you don't tell people, you just say like you wish them like decent or something. And I was like, what? I have never heard that. before. I feel like when you tell someone like you're happy for them, you wish they're in like a good place. Like I think that's fine. I don't know. But any moment that Lindsay just like goes is is like an action movie almost. She reminds me of an action movie. So. Okay. I'd be into that. Lindsay Hubbard in like a

she could do like a gender flipped GI Joe or something like totally like fighting in the jungle. Lara Croft like you not see her. Ooh, Tomb Raider. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Okay. I'm into it. My grab the skinny pot moment is when they were talking about Cynthia's wedding at part two of the reunion. And Andy asked who would have done the same thing, like who would have had this wedding? And Candy was the only one who said, yeah, I probably would have.

I'm like, yeah. That meant like in COVID, like did it up in COVID? Right. Like given the circumstances, would you have had a 250 person wedding? And everybody else was violent. So, you know, I'm glad nobody got sick. Obviously, we all have our, right, we all have our feelings about that wedding, but I thought it was interesting that nobody else was raising their hand for that question.

But those are today's Grab the Skinny Pop moments. You, of course, can grab Skinny Pop yourself at Retailers Nationwide or go to the Shop Now page on Skinnypop.com. This has been just so fun.
