Tomorrow is Nick’s birthday! And to celebrate, we recorded a podcast for you! Ash and Nick catch us up on their basic life business and then launch into a breakdown of 90 Day Fiancé Before the 90 Days, season one. Ash had to bail due to cringe fatigue but Nick powered through and now holds all the information on the fate of the tumultuous love affairs presented on the show. Will Ashley’s initial readings of characters prove to be right on the money or woefully misguided? Should the show be renamed Creeps, Chumps, and Delusional Women?

The end is upon us! And the herd is thinning quick. The Challenge gods blessed us with a daily and an elimination — all in one episode!

It’s Monday and Nick and Ash have emerged from their reality TV den, after two days of binge watching Strong (find it on NETFLIX!), with a lot of questions. Mainly, did we just watch the best reality show of all time? And if so, why was there only one season? If you’re not familiar with NBC’s Strong, let us shed some light on the show: Strong is to The Challenge what The Great British Bake Off is to Top Chef. And on today’s episode we talk about our love for the somewhat unknown reality show and the possibility of its unwritten future. Enjoy and don’t forget to rate us 5 stars on the Apple Podcast App!

Nick and Ash had every intention on delivering a CLASSIC/AMAZING episode, but because of the circumstances THIS EP IS A STINKER! (tbh it's not the bad but YOU BE THE JUDGE!).

Where. To. Begin? This week’s episode of The Challenge Final Reckoning was an insane journey into the minds of the desperate, the lonely, and the drunk. Plus some fun trivia! Episode 16 started with a fight, had a few fights in between, and ended with unlikely winners standing above shark infested waters. We got silly, we got sad, we said good-bye to one team. It was a roller coaster. Please rate us 5 stars on the Apple Podcast App! RealityBlowsPodcast@gmail.com @RealityBlowsPod @AshleyBRoberts IG:NickMaritato

Holy double double-cross, TJ! This week’s episode of The Challenge Final Reckoning was jammed packed with action. Episode 15 was bookended with eliminations: the first, to see who went to the redemption house, and the last, to see who returned to the main house. We got bloody, we got revenge, we said good-bye to some faves. It was a wild ride! Please rate us 5 stars on the Apple Podcast App!

Did we watch the worst reality show of all time? If a show is clearly scripted, is it still reality television? What, exactly, does “Smile... You’re Under Arrest!” mean and who has the best hangover cure? Today’s episode is all over the map in the best way. We talk the real life drama of producing a reality television podcast as well as what it means to strangle a chicken. Please rate us 5 stars on the Apple Podcast App!

“We’re all going to need therapy after this season” - Sylvia speaking for the cast AND us, your beloved Reality Blows hosts. In this episode of the podcast we recap the most recent episode of The Challenge: Final Reckoning. We’re getting closer and closer to the season final and the sh*t is hitting the fan. Teams are imploding, lines are being drawn, and no one is coming out as likable. Who should we pull for? We still don’t know. But we do know we’re watching some primo reality television.

We go deep into hour own issues this week. For some reason, Ashley can’t stop talking about her FabFitFun box — they do not sponsor us, but we wouldn’t say no! — Nick vents about a New York Times podcast experience, and Ashley doesn’t like mean reality TV hosts in this current political climate. Also, all of our regular shows are disappointing us, except The Challenge, and we strike out with one new show and hit gold with another. FYI when we say “new” we mean “new to us,” people.
