Show notes
In this episode, Janae and I recap 'The Valley' episodes 5 & 6 and dive into Janet’s Viall Files interview. We unpack the emotional fallout of Halloween night, the role of alcohol, and how friendship dynamics shift under pressure. We also talk about financial manipulation, Queer relationship double standards, and when it’s time to set boundaries — all through the lens of reality TV.
