Summary
Welcome back to I Know You Didn’t Ask — I’m Megan O’Donnell, and this week we’re diving into pop culture chaos. We start with personal lows (a devastating chili cookoff performance) and emotional highs (Punch, the abandoned baby monkey clutching his plushie — the only news story my nervous system can handle right now). I also hit a productivity wall this week, and honestly? Sometimes survival just means making food, skipping the workout, watching monkey videos, and letting yourself rest while the snow tells you to stay home.
On the TV front, I share early thoughts on Heated Rivalry, FX’s JFK Jr. and Carolyn Bessette series, and my return to Carole Radziwill’s What Remains. Then we break down Season 10 of Love Is Blind — strong, accomplished women… questionable men — and ask (again) whether love is actually blind. I also unpack Netflix’s Reality Check: Inside America’s Next Top Model, revisiting Tyra, the judges, and the cultural impact of early-2000s reality TV. Plus, quick updates on the Nancy Guthrie case and Nick Reiner in court. It’s sharp, opinionated, and a little unhinged — just how we like it.
