Married at First Sight, Rivals, and Maya Jama's break up
Shownotes
The BBC’s disturbing new Panorama documentary about Married at First Sight’s abuse allegations should be a watershed moment for reality TV, but will anything actually change? Plus, the problem with Harper Beckham’s new skincare line, the rise of tween skincare influencers and the ‘toe-dipping’ rumours around why Maya Jama split with Reuben Dias. Finally, a big debrief on Rivals s2, from Rupert Campbell Black’s potentially problematic redemption arc to the show’s female stereotypes.
