Robin returns from the beach with a bit of a tan, a potentially broken nose (not hers), and a personal vendetta against her hot water heater, while Kaley attended a surprise sprinkle party and fielded thoughtful texts about last week’s episode.

The girls talk about Love Island USA finally delivering, even if Casa Amor arrived too early and made almost no sense. None of that mattered once Nic and Olandria locked eyes and delivered the kind of chemistry that left us breathless. The eye contact. The lip bite. The “It’s Nic for now.” The girls talk through the tension, how Megan Thee Stallion’s villa appearance was a much needed vibe reset, the crying over eliminations, and how there’s just too much *emotional maturity* in the Villa for our taste.

We go over Kaley’s Traitors cast correction (Donna Kelce is in, as she should be), preview The Challenge 41, and assess the Perfect Match cast list. There’s also a brief detour into Katy Perry’s post-Orlando options and Robin’s new TV obsession — a dry, anxiety-ridden robot who just wants to binge reality shows in peace. Honestly, same.

Hit play — we’ve got a lot to talk about.

Kaley returns from her whirlwind Europe trip with cider in her veins, bike grease on her pants, and enough stories to fill a shared album (along with 900 photos). From a surprise engagement at a castle to pub-hopping through the English countryside with the lads and a near-death tandem bike situation in the Versailles gardens, she spills everything (except her gravy).

Then there’s the hike up the Eiffel Tower on zero sleep, a train ride she had to raw dog, and a narrowly avoided solo-travel fiasco complete with a random British man with hero energy.

In the Now, Ekin-Su and Curtis and Lydia and Meeeelton are done-zo, the Harry Potter cast is official, and Hailey Bieber sold Rhode to maybe bail out Justin? Also, Sydney Sweeney’s very real bathwater soap is giving Gwenyth’s hoo-ha candle energy, Sabrina Carpenter’s album cover sparks controversy, Tay Tay owns all of her music again, and the new season of The Traitors is STACKED. We have some thoughts on who would make the best Traitors out of the gate — Do you agree?

And of course, Love Island USA is back, baby! We share our unfiltered thoughts on the season so far and what we hope happens *before* Casa Amor (cough cough, byeeeee, Huda).

Hit play — we’ve got a lot to talk about.

We’re talking clusters on clusters, tank top tans, espresso martinis, and an upcoming trip to the UK where Kaley plans to…go with the flow. How about that?!

Elsewhere in the chaos: Hunger Games casting updates (and a fan contest that has us this close to submitting a tape), JoJo Siwa’s poolside PDA, and Joe Jonas’ new album. Luckily we were right about “Honey Blonde." It's THE bop of the summer.

Also, one of the least surprising reality TV breakups of all time, a sweet surprise from Sophie Turner, and the true crime doc that had us yelling at the cops from our couches.

And yes, we checked for Reputation (Taylor’s Version) live while we recorded. Did it happen? Sure didn’t. Time to bust out the ol’ clown paint.

Hit play — we’ve got a lot to talk about.
