Episode Description from the Publisher

Kaya finally has Raven and Samantha Bush together at the same time, and absolutely nothing stays on topic.We begin with Samantha’s housewarming grocery bill somehow costing over $400 before alcohol even entered the chat, before giving some much-deserved flowers to the Black women of Bravo.Then we get into the much heavier pop-culture conversation surrounding Gypsy Rose and her late ex-fiancé Ken, including the statements being discussed from his sister Autumn, Gypsy’s social media posts and the questions people online are raising about their relationship.From there, we move into Harry Jowsey’s claims about the current Love Island cast’s contracts and why the arrangement sounds suspiciously similar to the entertainment industry’s infamous 360 deals.Are these Islanders getting all these brand opportunities without actually getting paid yet? And more importantly: did any of them actually read the contract?We also discuss the rumors surrounding Britt Stewart and Dancing With the Stars, why certain pros seem to get much better partners than others, our undying love for Nikki and Brie Bella, and why Total Divas needs to be resurrected immediately.Then the episode becomes what Samantha has been waiting for:Gilmore Girls.Kaya and Raven are eight episodes into their first-ever watch, and Samantha — a lifelong Stars Hollow resident in spirit — gets to hear their unfiltered opinions.Raven thinks Lorelai never shuts up. Neither of us trusts Max. Luke is growing on us. Paris is already irritating. Richard and Emily are becoming favorites.And Samantha is basically vibrating waiting for us to meet Jess Mariano.Plus: Kaya confesses that she spent years posting Gilmore Girls memes despite never actually watching the show, and Samantha reveals the completely unnecessary lie she used to tell men about being a runner.Subscribe to Raven: https://www.youtube.com/@bitchisbetterpodcastSubscribe to Sam: https://open.spotify.com/show/665PBIgY1eDr9LlsnUGKIsTIMESTAMPS0:13 — Welcome & catch-up1:49 — Housewarming grocery costs and inflation7:37 — Positive news: celebrating Black women on Bravo11:23 — Gypsy Rose updates and the conversation around Ken’s death23:35 — Love Island contracts, cast drama, and post-show fame29:52 — Dancing with the Stars partner pairings31:28 — Bella Twins, reality TV, and relationship arcs36:14 — Streaming subscriptions and surprise renewals40:36 — Gilmore Girls rewatch: first impressions, favorite characters, and scenes62:22 — Vampire Diaries, The Originals, and TV obsessions64:04 — First-time watches and the “I just got back from a run” dating excuse66:43 — Wrap-up and where to find everyoneFOLLOW US ON INSTAGRAM HERESUBSCRIBE TO OUR PATREON HEREOH YEAH WE ON THREADS HEREWHAT?
