Episode notes

On today’s episode, Rebekah is taking you on a real journey to a reality show you’ve probably never seen and not because it was an early aughts one-hit-wonder, but because it was never actually a show. Wait, what?

Join her as she introduces you to a young man with big dreams, four names, and zero idea of how to produce a reality show —  but he doesn’t let that stop him, because Nik Russian is nothing if not a dreamer. Despite his lack of credentials, 30 willing participants give up their jobs, homes and a year of their lives for a shot at winning big and becoming famous - what could go wrong? Let Rebekah count the ways.

Here’s what the hosts are watching as of today’s episode:

Melissa: Anatomy of Lies, Peacock

Rebekah: Single Lady, Ali Wong, Netflix

Melissa gave three clues for the next episode:

SEMI-TRUCK

FEAR

SNL
