Ep 87: Welcome to Plathville S7:E8

"The First Kiss" We teamed up with TikTok’s @mrskickstand for this week’s Plathville episode, and we're so thankful we had some backup on this one! While Lydia and Zac are off smooching in wedding bliss, the rest of the Plaths are in absolute shambles. Ethan and Isaac plot to ruin the wedding day; Moriah takes a moment to make everything about her; and Veronica mixes up the NPC girlfriends which sends Isaac into a tailspin.

"The Day Before I Do" It’s Lydia's wedding rehearsal day, and her biggest concern is determining which brother is going to crash out. Kim attempts to soft launch her foot content; Barry is rizzing around in rare form; Ethan pushes up some garage misogyny before peeling out like a teenager, and Veronica finds herself flying solo and squaring off with Moriah in two sentences or less that serve more as a letdown than a showdown.   Find All Our Links in One Place:beacons.ai/survivingpodLove the Show?Be sure to subscribe, leave a review, and share the laughs with your fellow reality TV junkies!

"The Houseguests" Zac moves to Cairo hoping to bond with the Plaths even though most of the family barely tolerates him; Micah and Veronica’s therapy session ends up unleashing years of trauma; Ethan proves that he's only interested in two very specific things when it comes to Teegan; Lydia and Zac turn a game of Truth or Dare into Never Have I Ever.   Find All Our Links in One Place: beacons.ai/survivingpod Love the Show?

"The Birds and the Bees" We're joined by Mary Payne Gilbert of the Pink Shade podcast as we all get flippin' whiplash from three very different storylines: Barry and Kim traumatize Lydia and Zac with the grandbaby of all sex talks; Micah is a spineless worm, so the family doubles down on their crusade against Veronica; and Lydia goes wedding dress shopping as a personal insult to Moriah.

"The Secret" The “are you gay?” cliffhanger fizzles out to nothing; Barry checks Lydia's temperature for baby fever; Moriah goes full manic-mode by planning a move to Montana to convince us of character growth; and Micah’s fight with Veronica spirals so far out that Ethan and Amber have to stay in a hotel to avoid the fallout. It's peak Plathville, and we're here to point out every hypocritical moment, as usual.   Find All Our Links in One Place: beacons.ai/survivingpod Love the Show?

"Fit for TV: The Reality of the Biggest Loser (2025)" This new Netflix doc rips the curtain back on The Biggest Loser, which is even more toxic than we remembered. Between Bob and Jillian’s “tough love” cruelty, starvation disguised as fitness, and contestants pushed past the brink - it’s a masterclass in how reality TV can wreck lives for ratings. But even for all its critique, this doc still can't resist servicing up a fresh side of hypocrisy by stigmatizing GLP-1s. We've got opinions, so buckle up.   Find All Our Links in One Place: beacons.ai/survivingpod Love the Show?

"The Proposal" Sparks fly and grass is set ablaze when Ethan, Micah, and Veronica attempt to turn proposal day into a full-blown Zac roast. Barry plays puppeteer; Moriah lurks on the sidelines before running away from more of her problems; and the “grilling” from Ethan and Micah gets so weird for Zac, it makes us wonder if the Plaths are even capable of having a healthy conversation.   Find All Our Links in One Place: beacons.ai/survivingpodLove the Show?

"The Cabin in the Woods" Ethan introduces Teegan to every single person in his hometown as she makes her Cairo debut, and unfortunately, she fits right in. Kim rolls out her finest passive aggression gift that is all quilt, zero guilt; Ethan and Lydia have a farm-side sibling therapy session that's just toxic masculinity veiled as concern; and we're living for Veronica's shade with no end in sight.   Find All Our Links in One Place:beacons.ai/survivingpodLove the Show?

"The Face-Off" In this week’s episode, we watch Micah and Moriah drink their feelings at brunch just like their mom taught them...and speak of the devil! Kim tries to squeeze out sympathy for her (most recent) DUI, but we're not buying. Lydia’s home is held together by Post-it Notes, and Ethan and Isaac tag-team some major jerk energy at the most uncomfortable family dinner since...last week. Oh, and Micah's not at a Coldplay concert, but he's definitely cheating on Veronica.   Find All Our Links in One Place: beacons.ai/survivingpodLove the Show?

"The Boyfriend" New season; same dysfunction - the Plaths are back and somehow messier than ever. In the Season 7 premiere, Kim and Ethan are miraculously besties now that Olivia’s out of the picture. Lydia introduces her new man Zac, and Ethan is getting a "shotgun wedding" vibe from the start. Moriah’s caught between a wig and a hard place while beefing with Veronica and writing apology letters that might as well have been scribbled in glitter glue. Isaac brings his girlfriend Kaylynn into the chaos, and Veronica introduces us to her new friend "Becky" who’s definitely not Olivia in disguise (wink).   Find All Our Links in One Place: beacons.ai/survivingpodLove the Show?
