Chapter 1: What are the latest updates on Love Is Blind?
It's time to talk about Helix, and you know how much we love doing that. Whether we're at the lake or we're at home, we have a Helix mattress in our room and all of our guest bedrooms. It's really become a thing with all of our guests because as soon as they sleep on it, they wake up and ask, what did I just sleep on?
They ask for the link.
Chapter 2: How did Dancing with the Stars performances impact the contestants?
They want to buy the mattress that they just slept on.
Cindy, our family friend, you might remember her from Instagram, has cut us off because a couple weeks ago I said, I think I can get you a Helix mattress. And then I haven't yet and said, I'm not speaking to you.
They have a lineup of 20 unique mattresses so you can find the perfect mattress for you. All you have to do is take a quick online quiz, be paired with a mattress for you. Talk about your sleep preferences. If you sleep on your back, your side, your stomach, fetal position, whatever it is, they have a mattress for you.
Chapter 3: What household headlines are trending this week?
They will give you a 100-night trial and a 10- to 15-year warranty to try out your new Helix mattress. It's recommended by multiple leading chiropractors and doctors of sleep medicine as a go-to solution for improving your sleep.
It will truly be the best sleep of your life. If you have ever thought about upgrading your mattress today, I promise you the best decision you can make is going to HelixSleep.com, answering those questions, and you will have the best sleep you could ever imagine in just a few days. I promise.

Chapter 4: What insights does Michelle Buteau share about Love Is Blind?
Welcome back to another exciting episode of the Vile Files Reality Recap Edition. I am your host, Nick, joined by my beautiful wife, the rest of the household. We're here in L.A. We're in studio. We're rocking and rolling. We're having a great time. Lots to get into. Amazing episode for you lined up. First and foremost, just a reminder that yesterday is going deeper.
With the one and only Robert Irwin and his dancing partner, Whitney Carson. They're all great, but this one really touched our souls.
This one was good. It was a full circle moment for me.
Chapter 5: What are the major highlights from RHOSLC?
It got emotional. It was funny. A lot of laughs. Tears. It was just great.
All around great. The best cry is when you feel good doing it.
The best cry is when you feel good doing it.
Yeah, because it's kind of weird, emotional happy tears. I'm a happy crier. I don't cry when I'm sad, mostly. I have to be devastated to cry when I'm sad. But when I'm dancing with the stars, and I went last night, it was dedication night, holding in the tears every dance.
Every dance is emotional. I was watching from home, and I sobbed. And speaking of Robert and Whitney...
the you know they play obviously like their intro package or whatever of them talking and the the dancers are kind of like waiting until the music starts so they're listening to their intro package and they play it on like a big screen for the audience to watch and I took a photo of Whitney and Robert because it was so sweet she's like holding his she's like covering his ears and and Robert is like whispering to himself like I'm okay I'm okay I'm okay I'm okay and it was just like the sweetest moment ever yeah here it was and
Oh, God, it was so good. Every single one had me crying. Every single one, every time somebody came out for their dedication, I was just like, I know. I could not hold it in. And the contemporary dance is also just like so emotional in itself.
It was really, really good. Before we talk more about Dance with the Stars, also on Tuesday's episode of Reality Recap, we had Carlos King of Bravo Lore, former Bravo producer, host of his own show. Great insight in all things reality TV and Bravo.
Funny, fun.

Chapter 6: How is RHOP shaping up this season?
Did they break up?
Yeah, that's what we watched in this episode. Yeah, that's what we watched. It was very confusing. It was the weirdest breakup I've ever watched. I've never seen someone deny. And honestly, that's what I would do if Nick was like, I want a divorce. I'd be like, well, no. So anyways, what do you want for dinner? Just stick it out with me.
Chapter 7: What drama surrounds Taylor Frankie Paul this week?
You can't make one plus one equal three. Watch me.
Literally watch me.
Loved it. What did she say? That's not a good answer. That's the power of women.
That's my type of math, actually.
You know, I'm curious. Did you find her at least entertaining in this last episode?
Oh, I've never said I don't find her entertaining. I just think I'm really sorry for her about this edit because we all know it's just the edit's fault.
Also joining us later this episode, Michelle Buteau. She's the host of The Circle on Netflix. Hilarious comedian. Also just fan of all things reality TV. We'll talk a little housewives with her. Some love is blind. She'll be up shortly. Back to Dancing with the Stars. Our board, Dylan, I think highest score of the night.
Arbor. Arbor? Arbor killed it. Yeah, he honestly, so good. It was so good. I felt like it deserved a 10. I'm going to be honest.
No, no, no, no. I think it did. I know they like to save the 10s. I know. Boring. Don't care. He's got the best compliment of the night. In addition to having the best score, he had the best compliment of the night, which was, I don't know which judge said it to him, but they think one of them referred to him as the most improved.

Chapter 8: What relationship advice is shared at the end of the episode?
You get kicked off the show because nobody voted for you. So that's bull crap. She was a great dancer. She was somebody who came in with a ton of dance experience, obviously. But no, no, no. You don't get bullied off the show. I don't know her, but you got eliminated because people didn't like you. Oh my gosh. But it's not wrong.
At the end of the day, I think they is America who she's talking about. America is non-binary.
Only in your dreams, Mary.
But it's true because I'm like, I think of all the jokes in the, you know, how do you say cucumber and whatnot that I think that she thinks that like we chose to bully her off the show. But it's like, no, we just didn't vote for you.
And she is entertaining. But when you're picking between how do you say cucumber versus Dylan and Robert Irwin.
Yeah. Whitney Leavitt. Do you think she would have dedicated to Alec?
No.
No. Yeah, I don't feel like she would either. She would have. It'd be like my 800 children because I did that. She'd be like, I'm dedicating this to my fourth cousin once removed. Her kitchen. No, Whitney's. Honestly, Whitney and Connor, yeah, that was beautiful.
We also saw Zach Affleck there with the kiddos sitting across from us just holding court. The kids were fighting over snacks. It was really quite cute and hilarious. That was all very BTS behind the scenes.
