Show Notes
<p dir="ltr">Is reality TV in trouble? Seasons are shorter, fresh stars are hard to find, and production is down. Sam digs into the drama with <a href="https://www.instagram.com/therachlindsay/?hl=en">Rachel Lindsay</a> (former Bachelorette, host of Morally Corrupt and Higher Learning) and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/sobaditsgoodwithryanbailey/?hl=en">Ryan Bailey</a> (host of So Bad It’s Good). They break down whether the reality TV bubble is bursting, how social media changed the game, and why execs keep making the same mistakes. Plus, they dish on contestant horror stories and debate whether unionizing could save the industry. </p>
