Welcome back to The Viall Files: Reality Recap!
The Traitors are back and as treacherous as ever, and we're joined by Rob Cesternino to help us get into the first couple episodes. Is Michael Rapaport too much? Why'd they do Donna Kelce like that? Also… can we talk about how hot Rob is?? All that, and more. Meanwhile, the hilarious Greta Titelman stops by to talk about the Golden Globes, loving FILMS, Timmy and Kylie, excitement for the Olympics, and the toxic friend group drama between Ashley Tisdale, Hilary Duff and Mandy Moore. Plus, we cover the most recent episode of RHOBH and the premiere of the Valley: Persian Style. You won't want to miss it!
