They also unpack why Swifties are more divided than ever, how the algorithm has officially become the villain of pop culture, and whether Travis Kelce is grounding her… or just dumbing her down.

@Betches will be back this Friday! But first... In our final White Lotus recap, we’re sending off Season 3 with a bang. Host Sami Sage is joined by MSNBC’s The 11th Hour anchor—and our honorary White Lotus foreign correspondent—Stephanie Ruhle (@stephruhle). In true girlhood fashion, they watched the finale live together last night, and now they’re ready to unpack it all… while the surviving guests pack their bags. From the accuracy (or misfire) of their predictions to the moral journeys of each character, Sami and Stephanie dive into what made this season so compelling—and so devastating. Plus, they reflect on what we can all take away from a finale that was as emotionally brutal as it was beautifully done.

On this week's episode, host Sami Sage (@sami) is joined by pop culture pros Gibson Johns (@gibsonoma) and Sarah Galli (@damegalli) to dissect every chilling and thrilling moment from Episode 7. Sure, this may not have been the most dramatic penultimate episode of all time, but the tide is always lowest right before a tsunami... They get right down to business discussing their own finale theories, how Mike White's usage of intercuts ramps up the tension, and why the Internet seems to think this season is boring.

Because let's be real, we're all thinking the same thing: what the hell happened last night?! (Consider this like group therapy for processing all that we've witnessed...) After that whirlwind of an episode, we have more questions than answers: How do the Ratliffs even move forward from here? Is it worse that Jaclyn made a selfish decision, or that she couldn't stand on business? And what divine forces possessed Gaitok to actually get something right for once? Let's unpack it all.

If you ask us, it's time for Ben to move on to an entirely new Jennifer, and we have a few candidates in mind... Timothée and Kylie were spotted packing on the PDA at a tennis tournament, but Jordana's still not convinced about their relationship. Speaking of couples, Meryl Streep and Martin Short have yet to *officially* confirm their romance, but Jordana and Sami predict that they'll outlast both Timmy/Kylie and Taylor/Travis. And where has Taylor been lately, anyway? Our Betch of the week is Elizabeth Oyer, the DoJ official who was fired for refusing to reinstate Mel Gibson's gun rights. And we're sending Ben Affleck to the Caymans for landing himself in drama with an ex-wife yet again. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

And trust us: there is so much to unpack. Last night’s episode delivered some major payoffs, and let’s just say... we feel very vindicated about a few of our theories. But with chaos brewing and a full moon looming, the real question is: how much worse can things possibly get? (Spoiler alert: a lot.) The downward spiral is officially in motion, and we can't wait to watch every deliciously messy second.

This week, Aleen and Sami begin with a tribute to Michelle Trachtenberg, in light of her tragic passing on Wednesday.

In podcast news, Alix Earle's podcast has been dropped by Alex Cooper's Unwell Network, amidst rumors and Deux Moi posts hinting at tension between the Al(i/e)xes. Speaking of Alex Cooper, Monica Lewinsky promoted her new podcast with a guest appearance on Call Her Daddy this week, stirring Aleen and Sami's formative elementary school memories of the scandal and impeachment trial. Next up, they dive into the series premiere of The Baldwins - from Hilaria doubling down on the Spanish accent, to Alec's Rust trial, to their seven (seven!) kids, to the ultimate question of: ¿por qué?

Then, they share their thoughts on SNL's recent 50th Anniversary concert and special - most notably Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively's appearance.

Next, Sami and Jordana break down everything wrong with Meghan Markle's renamed lifestyle brand As Ever, and her public image at large. Speaking of public image, Maya Hawke revealed this week that a large Instagram following is becoming a requirement to getting cast in films. What happened to good old fashioned talent?

Aleen thinks Zoe Saldaña might still have a fighting chance. On the awards circuit for A Real Pain, Jesse Eisenberg has been trying to distance himself from the association with Mark Zuckerberg... don't worry, Jesse, you're much more human to us. Our Betch of the Week, presented by Peacock's Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy, is obviously Beyonce for her long-awaited Grammy wins, tour announcement, and our favorite meme so far this year. As for the Caymans, we're sending Kim Kardashian's ex husband (who shall not be named) for his red carpet stunt, and Karla for those tweets and her lack of apology. Learn more about your ad choices.

This week, Aleen, Jordana, and Sami analyze the latest pap photos and rumors around Taylor Swift’s potential engagement to Travis Kelce. Could a pair of gloves be hiding a ring, or is it just freezing outside? Are they waiting until after the Super Bowl to make their big announcement? Is this all an intentional distraction tactic to distance herself from the Blake Lively drama? On that note, Jordana’s entire TikTok algorithm is full of It Ends With Us drama, which prompted her and Sami to rewatch the OG Gossip Girl pilot - and Chuck is so much worse than they remembered. Next, they celebrate Meryl Streep’s incredible escape from the LA wildfires by cutting a hole in her fence and driving through it. Then, Spencer Pratt remains consistent as Heidi Montag’s biggest fan, shutting down fan suggestions that she should join RHOBH. Our Betch of the Week is Chanel Ayan, who mistakenly thought the former Survivor contestants on The Traitors were in fact survivors of real life tragedies. No one is going to the Caymans this week - but if you think there’s someone who deserves it, let us know your thoughts! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This week, Aleen, Jordana, and Sami share where they were when TikTok went dark, their theories about how the app is changing, and their favorite memes from Monday's inauguration. Then, they dive deep into Justin Baldoni's new lawsuit and some of the more revealing text exchanges with Blake Lively (aka Khaleesi?). Is Ryan Reynolds the real mastermind behind this feud? What does Jenny Slate know that we don't? There's more to this than what we've seen so far, and we'll be keeping an eye on how things unfold. Next, Oscar nominations were announced yesterday, and it looks like it's time for Aleen to finally finish watching Emilia Pérez, because it came out on top with an impressive, if baffling, 13 noms. Finally, they give their review of fellow Best Picture nominee Anora. Our joint Betches of the Week are TikTok, for pulling a Selena Gomez and coming back online a mere 12 hours after dramatically going dark, and @Bee.Better.Company for helping us decipher the Baldoni lawsuit. We're sending Ryan Reynolds to the Caymans to get his ego under control once and for all. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This week, Sami shares her chilling Facebook hacking experience with Aleen and Jordana, before getting into the headlines. First, Heidi and Spencer have turned tragedy into an unexpected comeback, galvanizing their followers into getting Heidi’s 2010 album to #1 on iTunes. We love their love and we wish them well! Next, Timothée Chalamet is headed back to SNL this weekend as host… and musical guest. Is he going to be in full Bob Dylan mode, or should we be expecting a song from the Lil Timmy Tim archives? After a long enough hiatus that neither Aleen and Jordana can remember season 1, Severance is finally back for season 2. Was their performance art publicity stunt in Grand Central cool enough to get Sami to binge it? Finally, there are a few things the trio *did* watch this week - they share their highlights and theories from the new episodes of The Traitors, and give their review of awards darling Conclave. Our Betch of the Week is Speidi, and we’re sending Lauren Conrad to the Caymans for not making a video promoting Superficial, and for that resurfaced video from The Hills where she made fun of Heidi’s new job.

This week, Aleen, Jordana, and Sami discuss their favorite Golden Globes moments: Nikki Glaser's impeccable hosting prowess, Demi Moore and Zoe Saldaña's first ever Globe wins (even certified Emilia Pérez hater Aleen can attest that she earned it), Zendaya and Tom Holland soft launching their engagement, and Timmy and Kylie apparently still going strong. Then, they give a thorough review of The Substance, and why Demi's performance was so effective, even if some elements of the story didn't quite add up. Finally, Jordana explains Jennifer Aydin's recent outburst at an airport Jersey Mikes, and they share some airport annoyances of their own. Our joint Betches of the week are Nikki and Demi, and Jen Aydin can catch the next flight out to the Caymans to figure out how to talk to service workers. Learn more about your ad choices.

Happy New Year, Betch! Aleen, Jordana, and Sami get caught up on the latest pop culture news, starting with the latest in the Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni situation. They may have won Betches' Feud of the Year award in 2024, but it's still going strong in 2025. Next, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are finally divorced after an eight year long battle - we'll never know exactly what happened on that plane, and that's ok. Sami and Aleen are excited for Meghan Markle's upcoming Netflix show, but Jordana is less than impressed at the idea of the Duchess of Sussex making jams. Will Aleen watch Wicked in time for the Golden Globes on Sunday? Either way, make sure you're following Betches on socials for our awards show coverage. Our Betch of the Week is Meghan Markle (Jordana's protest vote is noted), and we're sending Justin, Blake, and Ryan to the Caymans for all their shady PR moves. Learn more about your ad choices.

It’s the last week of the year, so Aleen, Jordana, and Sami are here to share their holiday plans and personal resolutions for 2025. Then, they make some bold predictions for the upcoming year in pop culture, from celebrity break ups and weddings, to career comebacks and business moves, future Betches of the Week, and who might find themselves getting sent to the Caymans.  Learn more about your ad choices.

This week, Aleen, Jordana, and Sami kick things off with the exciting news that Betches is now an official media partner of the NFL! Speaking of football, is Aaron Rodgers cursed, or is it just the Jets? Either way they may want to contact the TikTok witch that predicted Jared’s future wife (IYKYK). Onto celeb news, Taylor Swift turned 35 last Friday, and Travis reportedly spent $175K on gifts - but still no ring, to Jordana’s dismay. Over in the Bravo-verse, James Kennedy says he’s focusing on “sobriety and personal growth” after his recent domestic violence-related arrest, and we hope everyone involved gets the help they need. Next, they turn their attention to The Cut’s new essay from Ethan Slater’s wife, Lilly Jay, in her first public statement since the messy love triangle (square?) with Ariana Grande… and TBH it’s not really giving what we were hoping it would give. Then, they catch up on some recent TV favorites and recommendations for what to binge over the holidays. Finally, Betch of the Week has to go to bday girl Taylor, and Hawk Tuah is getting sent to the Caymans for the fiasco of her $HAWK memecoin. Learn more about your ad choices.

This week, Aleen, Jordana, and Sami jump straight into their favorite story of the week: Selena Gomez’s engagement to Benny Blanco - and her perfectly curated IG post (she knows what the people want to see). Will Justin and Hailey score an invite? Is Taylor secretly pissed that Benny popped the question before Travis? They get into all the theories and curate their top 5 celeb bridesmaids. Next, congrats are in order for Reesa Tessa, who rightfully took the crown for Betch of the Year, and Jack Schlossberg, who was named Babygirl of the Year (he really is one of us). Lindsay Lohan is back with a new Netflix movie, but more importantly, are the facelift rumors true? Maybe Michael Lohan put it best when he said her look is “so natural, just like her talent.” Moving on to less celebratory news, Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly have split just weeks after announcing their pregnancy, but Jordana has her own theory about where their journey is heading. Speaking of famous exes, is there a dollar amount high enough to convince Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie to work together again? One film producer seems to think so, but it sounds a little too much like the plot of America’s Sweethearts to be believed. Finally, they close out with Hilary Duff’s daughter’s very sweet reaction to Sabrina Carpenter’s Lizzie McGuire costume. With two Golden Globe noms *and* an engagement, our Betch of the Week is obviously Selena - we’d give anything to go to that wedding. And Machine Gun Kelly is getting put on the first flight out to the Caymans for whatever incriminating “material” Megan Fox found on his phone.  Learn more about your ad choices.

The Betch of the Year issue is live! Aleen, Sami, and Jordana kick off this week’s episode with a breakdown of some of their favorite categories and nominees. Then, Sami and Jordana share all their thoughts on Wicked, including an analysis of Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater's on screen chemistry (or lack thereof). Speaking of celeb relationships, are Taylor and Travis getting engaged any time soon? And if the Chiefs don't clinch another Super Bowl win, is the relationship doomed? Meanwhile, Ellen DeGeneres and Portia fled the states for the English countryside, but we're not sure we're buying that it was all to get away from US politics. And finally, Sami and Jordana get into Netflix's new JonBenet Ramsey docuseries and compare their theories. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Next, they break down the release of two new singles from Selena Gomez, the timeline of her break from Justin Bieber, and all the drama going on between her and Hailey. At 17:55 they discuss RHOC star Meghan King Edmonds splitting from her cheating husband. Did Vicki really predict exactly how long their marriage would last? At 30:35 a listener writes in to ask for advice with a group of friends whose interests are out of touch with current events. Is it okay to split from your friend group if you think they aren’t maturing along with you? At 38:00 they play the Ranking Game with a list of the best celebrity Halloween costumes of the year, including a great mother-daughter pick from Kylie and Stormi. Then they finish the show by telling us who they all want to Betch Slap this week. Thanks again to our sponsor! Pumpkin season is here and that means all things pumpkin at Dunkin.

Happy Thanksgiving, Betch. This week, Aleen, Jordana, and Sami share their plans for the holiday and compare notes on festive dishes. Are Brussels sprouts a millennial vegetable, and is that why they’re not as trendy as they used to be? Sami and Aleen explain to Jordana why everyone this past weekend was “holding space” for the lyrics of Defining Gravity, and why the Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo press tour has been the inspiration for countless memes. This episode was recorded on Monday, so come back next week for their thoughts on the film. In the meantime, Aleen finally rewatched the original Gladiator, and it did make her cry. Our Betch of the Week is Tracy Gilchrist, the Out reporter who gave us the incredible gift of that Wicked interview, and we’re sending the pilgrims to the Caymans for a multitude of past sins.  Make sure to finish reading Such A Bad Influence by Olivia Muenter, so you can join us on Monday, December 2nd for the final episode of our Betches Book Club, presented by Nutella Biscuits!
