How Much Do Severance’s Macrodata Refiners Get Paid?

Feb 21, 2025 | vulture.com | Nic Juarez

Top-secret security clearance doesn’t come cheap, presumably. For more on Severance, sign up for Severance Club, our subscriber-exclusive newsletter obsessing over, dissecting, and debating everything about season two. There may be no show more fun and frustrating to talk about than Severance. When is Mark going to start really remembering things? Where is Gemma/Ms. Casey? What’s up with the goats?
‘Love Is Blind’ Should Make the Men Date AI Women

Feb 19, 2025 | vulture.com | Nic Juarez

Unless Love Is Blindstarts making drastic changes, I might be done with Netflix’s so-called dating experiment. The latest season reminded me for the millionth time the worst part of this show: The men don’t take it seriously.
How ‘Boston Rob’ Became ‘The Traitors’s Biggest Threat

Jan 14, 2025 | vulture.com | Nic Juarez

It was a matter of when, not if, Rob Mariano would bring his talents to The Traitors, Peacock’s devilishly campy murder-mystery competition. Known as Boston Rob, Mariano — like Cirie Fields and Parvati Shallow, fellow Survivor legends and former competitors on The Traitors — is made for strategically complicated and socially pressurized competitions like these.
Socialist Sopranos Memes Are Born and Raised in New Jersey

Jun 21, 2024 | vulture.com | Nic Juarez

Every day you decide to log on to social media is another day you decide to return to the front lines of online battle, also known as discourse. Should childless adults watchBluey? Can people be normal about Sydney Sweeney? Who is Mr. Beast? Pick a side or log off. Of all the commentators logging hours and upsetting people, no one does it with as much style and humor as the person behind the Socialist Sopranos Memes account, @gabagoolmarx.
‘Perfect Match’s Nick Lachey Stayed ‘Switzerland’ to the End

Jun 21, 2024 | vulture.com | Nic Juarez

On the surface, it seems that Nick Lachey was fated to become the face of Netflix’s universe of reality-dating shows. As a former pop singer and reality-TV star himself, who better to usher in the next generation of reality-TV stars on Love Is Blind, The Ultimatum, and Perfect Match? If you ask him directly, though, he’ll give a more reasonable answer. In 2018, Lachey and his wife, Vanessa, were pitching a show to Netflix when an upcoming series called Love Is Blind came up.
Every Engagement, Breakup, and Marriage in Love Is Blind

Jun 3, 2024 | vulture.com | Nic Juarez

reality tv Love Is Blindhas dominated reality TV with a devilishly simple but irresistible thesis: that people can fall in love without seeing each other. Since the show first hit Netflix in 2020, 178 participants have talked to prospective mates in pods, and some have gotten engaged and even married.
Best Eras, Seasons, Players, and Moments

Jun 3, 2024 | vulture.com | Jason Frank |Nic Juarez

Seven years ago, when a randomly accosted man told Billy Eichner that he still watched Survivor, Eichner cocked his head in confusion: “Still?” he asked. Yes, still! For both superfans and casuals, Survivor, far removed from the days when it was the No. 1 show in America, remains a fascination. It began with a simple premise: 16 players on an island vote one another out until a single player remains.
Parvati Shallow Didn’t Bring Enough Headbands to The Traitors

Feb 18, 2024 | vulture.com | Nic Juarez

“I was like, Well, I’m Blair Waldorf, so I have to have headbands.” When The Traitors, Peacock’s social-strategy competition filled with reality TV stars, announced a second season, a few of us on staff came up with our dream casting, and I stumped for former Survivor winner Parvati Shallow. Not only is she a legendary shit-stirrer (complimentary), but anyone with even a cursory knowledge of Survivor knows Shallow is one of its fiercest players in the show’s history.

‘The Traitors’ Taught Dan Gheesling a ‘Humbling’ Lesson

Feb 6, 2024 | vulture.com | Nic Juarez

Dan Gheesling waited nearly 12 years to come out of reality-TV retirement. If he was going to spend time away from his wife and three children, it would have to be for a compelling reason. He’d already won season ten of Big Brother and cemented the “greatest Big Brother moment ever” by staging his own funeral in season 14, a move that saved his game, cost him a second win, and secured his reality-TV legacy.
