Show Notes
The Odyssey was gorgeous, Anne Hathaway is a whole icon, and that Cyclops still haunts our dreams 10/10, no notes. Then Love Island's Nick & Olandria broke up and we have THOUGHTS, which leads us straight into which dating reality show we'd each actually thrive on (results may surprise you).
