    Watching Old Seasons
    Watching old seasons on maternity leave and listening to podcasts from 2020. Love hearing the takes from 4 years ago! I listen to every pod after I watch each episode!
  • AntWick7
    Love from the U.S.
    Love you guys, so much fun. Please keep Jo! Her optimism is both admirable and hilarious.
  • SweetDuke
    Love from across the pond!
    Absolutely love you guys, and I appreciate your insights and humor. Very quickly you’ve become my top Love Island podcast. Thanks for the laughs!
  • Egg309
    Thank you!
    Great show, always funny and spot on!
  • Hog Nice
    Stopped halfway through
    Why did they stop halfway through the Love Island USA season?
  • ScwettyGinget
    Love these guys!
    So likeable. Great takes on all the shows they cover—a listener from across the pond
  • Lucy J 22
    Hilarious and honest
    If you are offended by profanity and hate laughing, this isn’t the podcast for you! This is my favorite Love Island podcast by far! Listening to it feels like chatting about the show with friends over a pint. Chris and Dave call it as they see it and welcome listeners to share their thoughts. I especially appreciate that they are not afraid to admit when they are wrong- it actually seems like they are the most amused by listener emails that call them out. Great podcast, lots of fun to listen to. I can’t wait to hear what the Reality Radar detects next season!
  • FleurdeLinds
    Hot Pod Dads
    What a show! Chris and Dave offer a healthy amount of perspective on the often polarizing and problematic real-world issues that arise from reality TV, and they deliver their opinions in a way that is respectful (albeit cheeky), refreshing, and always entertaining. The sheer amount of content these two produce is insane, and it consistently seems to fill my somewhat insatiable podcast appetite. Others have said it so I’ll just reiterate the point that this consistently the BEST Love Island podcast for those who don’t want to sycophantic rundown that is the Morning After shoved down your throats. Also, the fan base here—WOW! If you haven’t listened to the user submitted parody songs and now Dave’s rap, then you are in for a real treat. Chris and Dave—thanks for being the hot pod dads this American listener never knew she needed. All my love, keep up the good work! xx
  • zzervo
    Love your podcast!!!
    Not sure why everyone is so hard on Chris but he actually makes the show more entertaining. It would be boring with sensible Dave all the time 😛.
  • Dani2285
    Love the show
    Please don’t stop swearing, if you swear less I’ll probably stop listening.
  • Green Kleen
    Plenty of casual sexism, racism, & transphobia.
    No one needed this podcast of cis-het men pretending they’re above Love Island. The twist is the actual garbage isn’t the show—its their outdated, bigoted views.
  • Hilo, Hawaii
    Chris & Dave fan in Hawaii
    I’ve been listening to Chris & Dave for the past few months and I just have to say, thank you for doing this podcast! The unfiltered commentary about relationships is both hilarious and perceptive, whether it be fake relationships playing out on reality shows or the real life experiences of these two blokes. Give it a listen, and prepare to get hooked!
  • prettybaby1971
    Chris & Dave are the BEST!!!
    I feel like I know the pair of you with all the hours I’ve listened to you! I keep coming back & over the past 18 months I’ve watched ALL Love Island UK, AU & USA seasons along with your podcasts! Today I realized I never heard your UK season 5 commentary (started on UK S5 because I heard it was the best ) so I’m doing a rewatch so I can hear what you guys have to say! Keep up the great work & just know you’ve got another fan for life in Glendale, CA USA 🇺🇸 PS-LOVE both of your accents!
  • mchicago90
    I’m obsessed with them
    I watch love island because of them and I immediately turn on the podcast and cackle. I live in the USA but will you be my friend?!?!?!
  • Libshitz
    Would you like to listen to 2 middle aged men talk Love Island?
    I honestly didn’t think so would but I love it. This is the perfect companion to Love Island USA and UK. Forget the others. This is actually funny and entertaining.
  • KatieMay's mom
    So fun
    I love listening. They crack me up. So witty. I’m a fan.
  • Dalovely
    Absolutely Love This Podcast
    Love this guys take on Love Island but it’s frustrating the schedule of your podcasts is it tge day after it 2 days after?
  • mlindsay1
    Love!
    I was looking for a podcast covering Temptation Island and found this podcast, and now I’m obsessed! The hosts are hilarious, and I look forward to their podcast more than the show sometimes! Excellent, witty commentary! I’m constantly laughing out loud.
  • 806Lucky
    I wish more podcasts were like yours!!
    I love to watch the same crazy shows ... you both are so good at getting right into the episodes, and keep the energy and flow going. Your wit in seeing the actions and characters is natural and so entertaining. Keep making podcasts - you guys are great! Ps. Other podcasts go off on tangents, talk about so many things not related to the shows, laugh at their own jokes that aren’t funny, use swear words excessively, speak at the pace of snails ... Not you guys!! You’re the opposite!!
  • AppGirl8989
    Brilliant!
    Such an entertaining pair with witty and hilarious reality show recaps. Highly recommend!
  • IUJen94
    Love it!
    My husband and I “discovered” UK Love Island soon after we went into Covid lockdown in the Spring. We’ve now watched seasons 2-5. For those counting, yes, we’ve watched 201 hours of Love Island (plus the US Love Island this summer). My hatred of Amber and Anna early in season 5 made me go looking for a recap podcast because I desperately wanted to hear others complain about them too (my husband was getting sick of my ranting). I found Chris and Dave, and they are PERFECTION. I’m now listening to their Bachelorette podcast as well. Y’all are hilarious, and I love your takes on cheesy reality dating shows. A++++ —Jen from North Carolina, USA
  • Maddie_1717
    The BEST
    The absolute best Love Island and Bachelor recap show out there. Keep it up guys! - Big fan from San Diego, California
  • jill735
    Love these guys!
    I have to admit, when I was searching for a recap podcast to pair with the latest Love Island USA season 2, and I found two middle-aged dudes, I was incredulous to say the least... but now, a whole season later, I’m completely hooked and can’t wait to listen to whatever they cover next! They keep it light, fun, and real. Their friendship and laughter is contagious, and the accents certainly don’t hurt. Thanks for being a perfect escape to otherwise monotonous work days! I’m going back to Love Island UK season 5 to hold me over until you start the Bachelorette!
  • Kaesimone
    Love from New Orleans
    I love this show so much ! Please don’t hesitate to give us longer episodes bc I am always sad when they come to an end. I also will definitely be tuning in if y’all decide to cover The Bachelorette season.
  • DedeTempe
    Love these blokes!
    So glad I found Chris and Dave! I needed someone to share Love Island with me and these two have the best takes. They do it all with humor and British wit and I can’t wait to tune in after each Love Island episode. Thanks guys!
  • npbraids
    Please review early seasons of UK Love Island
    I love that 2 guys are reviewing dating shows and their mix of personal stories as they review. Please go back and review season 2 of UK Love Island, it was wild and I would love your take!
  • cicadatwo
    Saving my bloody sanity
    Hilarious. Clever. It’s THE best way to avoid listening to the news. What’s better than a couple of dudes analyzing a relationship show. For fecks sake I love these guys.
  • deabacab
    The Best
    If I had Bezos money I would hire these guys to walk behind me and narrate my life. I'm watching Austrailia Love Island Season 2, I wish you guys did one for that and all versions going forward. Aces!
  • Liberal from Michigan
    Love the daily recaps!
    This podcast is a lot of fun with very funny commentary and witty chat. Last year Love Island US was kind of boring but this year has been fantastic. I was dead when they suggested Conner had made a wish to be Big. Keep it up 👍🏻
  • Jayjam23
    Best Love Island Podcast
    A minute of silence for those watching love island and not listening to you guys
  • Macyjayyy
    Yay a love island podcast
    So happy to have found a love island recap podcast! I like the light hearted banter and also the enthusiasm these two put into the show. They love trash tv as much as we do 💜 short and sweet recaps. The McKenzie hate is getting a little old, yeah she’s annoying but she’s definitely the “show’s villain” lol. It’d be nice to recap more of the episode instead of just talking about her the entire time! Thanks from Seattle 🙌🏼
  • rabab_e
    Hello from New Jersey!
    After watching both the UK and the US Love Island I finally got around to watching Love Island Australia during quarantine or as the Aussie say, “iso”. Nevertheless, that led me to you guys! I’m really enjoying the podcast and I’m loving your commentary especially because none of my friends (whom I’ve forced to watch) are watching these episodes fast enough! I look forward to watching a new season with you guys, whenever that may be :)
  • JeniferWI
    Another U.S. Listener Who Loves This Show
    Americans generally do not have anywhere near the leavel of chat and banter as the British--so this podcast is a delight to listen to. Thank you for the podcast. Madison, Wisconsin
  • Shweller
    Great after show
    Hey guys a fan from the USA, recently found love island U.K. and watched season 5 and now season six I thought there has to be a podcast, I found you guys and so glad I did! I love your opinions on the show, very entertaining! Keep up the good work! Season 5 was great Maura and Curtis are my favorite, I feel like I am not into any of the couples yet in season 6 but you guys are really helping me enjoy the season! Keep up the great pod! Heather
  • KYsOkayestMom
    Took the words out of my mouth!
    I love these guys. I’ve only been listening a few weeks but truly laugh out loud several times per episode. They aren’t affiliated with the show or cast so they are brutally honest and hilariously so. Hi from Kentucky, which is not remotely close to Vegas!
  • hennesseyg
    All around great Podcast
    It's short, funny and to the point. I know this show is a guilty pleasure. (It is for me) but these guys offer real talk about what's going on in the villa. Their insight and comedy make the show so much more interesting to watch and are probably the only reason I am hanging on this season. Give it a listen. You won't be disappointed.
  • lmelanie
    Addictive podcast!
    Hey from the US! Absolutely loving listening to these guys dissect the dumpster fire that is Love Island. They’re pretty spot on with my thoughts as well..a great laugh!
  • Henri Buchanan
    Absolutely love!
    This podcast is delightful and just the thing for surviving brutal DC weather/a depressing news cycle. Thank you, guys!
  • Jeal Salter
    Love this podcast!
    Hi from America! I love this podcast so much. These don’t hold back, and I love it! They have me cracking up on my morning commute, and I always look forward to the next episode :)

  • Iamjoanai
    Funny!!!
    I’m so glad I found these two. Fun times.
  • Aruss357
    Too Funny
    I love this podcast! Both host are funny and honest. I just started watching Love Island USA and after listening to this podcast I really want to watch the U.K. version now. Every episode makes me laugh it’s a must listen if your a Love Island fan.
  • jazzy2822
    Love love island and this podcast
    I am absolutely loving this podcast! I enjoy both UK and USA versions and it’s nice to hear these guys talking about both and making comparisons! Def agree with their viewpoints and I’m looking forward to seeing more from them!
  • Ali871
    Liked it at first but really misogynistic
    Needless vitriol thrown mostly at the female contestants of Love Island. Understand not liking actions of certain people, but the personal, nasty attacks became unbearable.
  • Kaela✌🏽
    Best Podcast
    I absolutely love listening to the podcast! I’m an American watching both the US and UK version of Love Island and very much prefer the UK. I look forward to listening to this on the subway every day before illegally watching the UK version so I can stay up to date. You guys are super funny and always right with your opinions of both casts. Keep it up! ☺️
  • TracyMSP
    Funny and honest takes on UK and US Love Island shows
    I recently discovered this podcast duo, and its now part of my regular must listen podcast feed. Loving the comparions between the UK and US ahows, and to some extent cultures. These two are witty, clever and provide their honest opinions which are so relatable. Well worth a listen and a subscription!
  • andimuniz
    Suprised
    Thank you for reviewing the US Love Island. I’m American and watching both. Hulu is way behind on the UK one. I am honestly losing track of who is on which show. Thanks again!
