HELP! I Suck at Dating

It was a remarkable spectacle here in New York City this afternoon! A well known daredevil duo scaled the needle of the Empire State Building from the Observation Deck to first unfurl a banner about love…. And then, he put a ring on it. 32-year-old Ivan Beerkus proposed to his girlfriend 33-year-old Angela Nikolau as police and news helicopters surrounded the couple celebrating 1454 feet above Manhattan. They were both promptly arrested after they climbed down to a safe enough level for police to take them into custody.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It was an emotionally charged day and night at the Villa. Episode 25 begins with Dylan inexplicably incapable of controlling his emotions after learning Kenzie kissed Gal. It’s been less than a week and he’s crying? A LOT of folks aren’t buying it, including T.J. but that was just the beginning of the drama, as movie night part one played out and things quickly unraveled as K.C., Sincere and Zach all went into defense mode and the girls went on the attack. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

TMZ is reporting that another woman obtained a restraining order against “Titi” whose legal name is Tierra Davis, back in 2018.  The allegations are that Titi threatened to assault and even shoot this woman over an ex-boyfriend.  While court records show the restraining order was granted, it was later dismissed.  The question becomes, now that Titi is playing a significant role in the show, how does Love Island handle this latest controversy?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Casa Amor bombshell Alannah Keyser issued an on-camera apology after being kicked out of the villa for a newly resurfaced video showing her singing the N word. Her apology is actually a lesson in how not to apologize. Keyser used the old “it was never my intention” and “if you were offended” lines coupled with a vague denial of screen shots showing her using the n-word. Her video left us with more questions than answers, and did not explain her actions in the villa on day one, when she skipped over kissing all the black men at Casa Amor.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What started off as a cute story line, the budding bromance between Zach and Bryce, has now become downright confusing. Each episode, the two get more and more physical with one another, even simulating sex. Zach has dry humped Bryce on more than one occasion,  Bryce has shown Zach his penis; they’ve shared lounge chairs and even held hands at one point.  In the most recent episode, Zach threw a cake in Trintiy’s face for being jealous of his and Bryce’s cozy relationship. Is this just how a younger generation of heterosexual men behave these days, or is something else going on between the two? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What a gutting way to open the episode, showing Aniya on the ground sobbing over KC, Melanie by her side, while the Casa Amor ladies laugh and scoff at Aniya’s emotional reaction. Thankfully, and surprisingly, throughout the episode we see the Villa girls and the Casa Amor girls actually put aside their differences and apologize for bad behavior. But things got sticky literally and figuratively during the cake challenge, with Megan Thee Stallion hosting the game looking fierce, and speaking truth to the boys! It all ends with the surprise we saw coming, Carl and Amora are back, and ready to stir up everything!  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A new dating trend is taking over TikTok and before you roll your eyes, dating experts say it’s actually a cry for help. This idea that women will only accept the physically perfect man: six feet, six figures, six pack and six inches, is pure fantasy. And it’s not fantasy versus reality, it’s fantasy versus intimacy and that equals loneliness. It may even be considered a form of self sabotage that feels safe because there’s no one who could meet those requirements. However, dating experts say there are real questions we should all be asking of potential partners, and it has nothing to do with the four sixes.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We’re recording this episode as we get ready to celebrate the annual Pride March here in New York City, a huge parade steeped in history, going back to the 1969 police raid on the Stonewall on this very date, June 28th. But did you know that Pride Month isn’t recognized nationally this year, nor any year where a Republican is president, going back to 1999 when Pride month was first established by President Clinton. In fact, several states have even chosen counter programming for the month, labeling June as Nuclear Family Month, Strong Families Month, or even Fidelity Month. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

So many people are skeptical of the love story that brought us to tears last night: watching Bryce and Trinity reuniting after pining away for one another in Casa Amor. Come on, how could they each fake those tearful confessionals apart? How could they know what the other was feeling or thinking, and when would they have had a private space to come up with a plan?

20 minutes into last night’s Love Island episode, the narrator made a brief announcement saying only that Alanna had left Casa Amor. And that was it, no explanation. Fans of the show have been demanding her removal following video that surfaced of 21-year-old Alannah Keyser singing the “n-word” to camera, along with several concerning posts where she also uses the racial slur. Meantime, the other big headline from episode 20: We all just fell a little more in love with Bryce and Trinity. Can they just go ahead and claim their prize? They have emerged as the couple to beat, especially  after a photo card was delivered to each villa showing the boys and the girls behaving questionably with the bombshells.

Just when it didn’t seem possible that Love Island producers could sexualize the Islanders any more, they introduced another challenge that quickly divulged into a barely clothed orgy on national television. One contestant even apologized to her parents afterwards…. We’re really hoping for their sakes, they fast forwarded through the segment. Looking beyond the growing ick factor of the show, there were some incredibly interesting developments in several relationships, with a couple of the boys continuing to pine away for their girls back home. And then there’s Corbin and Kenzie, who seem very satisfied in their new couples, with poor Caleb, who once again finds himself in a love triangle with Corbin. Who will recouple with someone new, and who will stay in their original couple? We make our predictions. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

So far, not a word from Peacock about the fate of bombshell Alannah Keyser, who many fans are demanding be dumped from the show after video surfaced of her singing the N-word on social media.  While she seems pleasantly coupled up with Zach, the ladies have narrowed down their Casa Amor newbies from 12 to 6, but it remains unclear if any love connections are actually forming at the Villa.  Meantime, the men are split, with half of them fully exploring and seemingly enjoying their new women. However, Bryce was moved to tears and Sincere mused about missing their ladies back home. Melanie and Aniya also admitted to missing their men, but that is setting up a hell of a mess with KC, who seems to be extremely content with his new lady Tierra.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Just when the Islanders least expect it, ‘Love Island’ producers threw in the Casa Amor twist into the villa. And while it’s always fun to see how the couples handle the temptations of a new full set of potential islanders, this was the most sexual, grotesque introduction of contestants we have ever witnessed in the franchise. Add the disgusting reaction by most of the men to the accompanying reaction from the women who were watching it all unfold live from the villa, and you have a completely changed competition with all of the couples seemingly upended.

Yes, we have a new term in the dating world and it’s called Kittenfishing. Basically, it means you tell little lies about yourself in order to appear more attractive. Whether it’s adding an inch to your height, editing your age by a couple of years or even filtering your photos, dating experts say nearly everyone is guilty of kittenfishing.
