Caitlin Grimm and Devin Short look like a promising Married at First Sight match when they first meet. Both are attracted to each other, both say they want marriage, and their early interactions lack the immediate rejection that can doom a MAFS pairing before the honeymoon properly begins. Yet the relationship soon settles into an…
Married at First Sight has always sold its American experiment on a particularly high-stakes premise. Unlike many dating shows, the couples are not simply matched, sent on dates and asked whether they want to continue seeing each other. They meet at the altar and are presented as getting legally married before spending eight weeks deciding…
Let’s Marry Harry begins with an intentionally ridiculous premise: Harry Jowsey meets 20 potential fiancées and is expected to finish the experiment with a wife. By the finale, however, his choice comes down to two relationships that work for very different reasons. Dannelle Davidson offers Harry an easy, affectionate connection that develops early, while Amber…
Married at First Sight usually asks couples to keep testing their marriages until Decision Day, even when the answer already seems obvious. Nick Uhlenhuth and Courteney Landis do not make it that far in Season 20. During Episode 14, with roughly two weeks remaining in the experiment, the Seattle couple agrees to end the marriage…
Married at First Sight Season 20 has given viewers plenty of reasons to distrust a seemingly stable marriage, but Michelle Le and Cameron Mitchell have remained the Seattle season’s clearest success story through the first 15 episodes. Their conversations about money, Cameron’s Portland-based coaching career, family plans and commitment have created real friction without producing…
The Challenge: Cutthroat Season 42 Episode 2 sends Reilly Smedley home after a chaotic elimination against Deb Chubb, but the result quickly created a second controversy. Reilly had teammates shouting instructions from above while she tried to solve the arena, and Cara Maria Sorbello became the person viewers most strongly associated with that guidance. Cara…
The Challenge: Cutthroat Season 42 wastes little time showing how badly a team format can punish the wrong person. Episode 2 leaves Team Blue in chaos after Cara Maria Sorbello and Anna Leigh Wilson separately contribute to disqualifications during the daily challenge, yet rookie Reilly Smedley is the woman who ultimately lands in elimination against…
Six episodes into Project Runway Season 22, Jeffrey Kelly Abess has one of the strangest records in the competition. He nearly went home before the season had properly begun, rebounded into the top group immediately afterward, and has since come within reach of a challenge victory several times without actually winning one. Episode 6 makes…
Project Runway Season 22 officially brought back a familiar judging lineup: Heidi Klum, Law Roach and longtime franchise fixture Nina Garcia, with Christian Siriano mentoring the designers and Tyra Banks added in a recurring capacity. Watching the season itself tells a more complicated story. Through Episode 6, Nina has been absent from the judging panel…
Project Runway Season 22 arrived promising its biggest competition ever, with a record 22 designers entering the workroom. Six episodes later, however, one of the season’s biggest talking points is not a particular dress or designer. It is the speed at which the cast has been disappearing. Ten of the original 22 designers were effectively…
Project Runway Season 22 Episode 6 arrives with a noticeably different judging table. Heidi Klum and Law Roach remain, while model Winnie Harlow and actress Nina Dobrev join them for “The Devil’s in the Details,” but Tyra Banks is nowhere to be seen. Given how prominently Tyra was promoted before the season and how much…
Project Runway Season 22 has repeatedly experimented with rules that allow contestants to influence one another’s fate, but Episode 6 introduces one of the season’s most controversial variations yet. After the designers create red-carpet gowns for Heidi Klum to wear to The Devil Wears Prada 2 premiere, Christian Siriano reveals that the winner will receive…
