Welcome to another episode of Out of the Pods. I'm Deep T. And I'm Natalie and happy Wednesday. It's another recap of our favorite season. I'm just kidding. Probably our least favorite season. In fact, all the,

I feel like all the news channels are picking up. Is this the most boring season yet? And I'm

like, damn, that sucks. There's no way the editors, producers, like, as they were creating

these episodes, didn't know this would be a very boring season. I mean, I'm seeing a lot of comments being like,

okay, the reason why it's boring, it's because it's Minnesota. Like, none of these people are

trying to be influencers. You know, this is the true Midwest where everyone is more, you know,

chill and nice. Like, we have a very genuine, authentic cast. I think, like, a lot of this cast

is very genuine and authentic. When I say that,

I mean like they're not trying to do this show for only screen time. Like they genuinely want to try

out this experiment. But I don't think that's the reason why it's boring. People will be to know, and I'm just going to say it, a lot of the women on this season, and you'd be shocked to know who have reached out to previous cast members asking like, how do I become an influencer? How do I build a brand? People are always going to try to monetize off this experience no matter what. Yeah. And also I feel like producers just took

into account that people wanted more in the pods. And, you know, every single season when they

edit things, they always try different things. It's not like, oh my God, like it's Minnesota. So let's like

have everyone be very like, you know, wholesome and genuine. And they are.

It's just, you know, we're just seeing a lot more of it in the pods. But it's, it's been interesting.

But I can't even imagine being the editors and producers on this season, though. Like, imagine they

just sat down and were like, let's do like a trial run and watch this season. And they looked at each time, they were like, oh, this episode is going to eat. Like, it's going to be so good.

There's no way. Like, they knew that this season was kind of going to be a bust. It feels like a lot of the storylines this season are inauthentic. Like, it feels like someone in the background are pushing things like the pre-nup.

Lauren's alleged boyfriend who's not a boyfriend.

It feels like these are producer pushed storylines where they're not a big deal, but they're

being made a big deal for the season.

Yeah.

And welcome to reality TV, right? Can we just really quickly talk about how
