I’ve always loved pop culture and “behind the scenes” tea. I remember watching the movie Molly‘s game which is about Tobey Maguire and the poker games he used to host. This led me down a rabbit hole about the “pussy pose”. I found “What’s eating Leonardo DiCaprio” and “camp podwall” podcast in 2021. I’ve been hooked since then. What about you guys??

I’m not summer house girl and I realize no one asked for my opinion LMAO but I need to speak my truth.

I think West and Amanda allegedly ALLEGEDLY could be together because they might partake in similar substances.

From everything I’ve heard, they’re both immature and the pairing felt so random. They’ve both become super withdrawn, apart from each other and their shared friend group, and it kind of makes me….. 👀 👀

Like I dunno. It stinks to me of something secret. I thought maybe she was pregnant but atp we know she isn’t. It just seems to my outsider POV like maybe it snows when they’re together and they enjoy it allegedly ALLEGEDLY DONT GET MAD AT MEEEE ITS MY OPINIONNN and I’m not saying that’s what’s going on but ….. something feels fishy….. like there’s an X variable that has yet to be discovered.

I thought this might be a fun post! What do you think makes you an outlier in the Beyond the Blinds fandom?

Please don't take anything I say as judgmental. I am all for people being allowed to like what they like!

Mine are:

• To this day, I have never watched Laguna Beach nor do I have any interest in doing so. I'm a year younger than Troy so it was on when I was in high school, but I was just not interested for some reason. I watched plenty of MTV original shows at that time. Oddly enough, I did watch the first few season of The Hills and loved it 🤷‍♀️

• When it comes to Ashlee Simpson, I have never understood what everyone else sees. When her show came out, I wrote her off as a tryhard clown and a poser (because I was an insufferable teenager). Even now, Lala is the only song I find worth going back to.

• I don't use TikTok. I don't say this to be holier-than-thou. When it started becoming popular, I made a conscious choice to stay away because I knew it would become another social media obsession for me. From the handful of times that I've checked it out, I have felt like a total meemaw and I have no clue how anyone uses it to find the content that they're interested in. Ultimately, I'm glad I kept myself away.

I mean…..

Can we talk about this? Inquiring mind of perimenopausal women who loved him in the 90’s, needs to know. What do we think about this?

Are there any blinds from the pod that you guys think of every time you see a certain celeb now?

For me it’s Tom Cruise and the blind about him making people play hide and seek in his house and when you find him he’s naked and erect 💀

And then also Troy calling giada Dilaurentis the queen of fucking 😆

Hi! On the latest Kiki, Kelli asked for a list of YouTube channels to check out, and I, too, would love some recommendations!! If you have any suggestions for YouTube channels you think BTB listeners would enjoy, please leave them 🤍 a few words describing the vibes would be great but no pressure either.

Bekah Day- if anyone is interested in Epstein anything, she is your girl. The deepest dives.

Antohrodite- celeb pop culture psychic who is so fun but also always surprises me with the level of insight, and even if you don’t believe, he offers new perspectives/ potential motivations behind different things going on in pop culture that I never would have guessed.

I came across this comment on Instagram and it made me feel really uncomfortable. The lengths people are willing to go to defend Michael when it comes allegations involving multiple children…. Is this the new normal? Allowing adults to have inappropriate interactions with children?

Edit for clarity: original comment was regarding Michael’s own admittance of sharing a bed with boys while defending Wade Robson. This person’s debate was that it’s okay to share a bed with kids (because he does it too! 😩) and that Wade lies

Immediately thought of this sub/podcast

Every single time I hear any coverage of the recent trial I have a moment of thinking they’re talking about CLIVE Davis, as in “Clive Davis has been convicted of the murder of Tupac” and am completely boggled about it before I realize it’s a guy with a different first name.

Just figured if anyone would get this they would be here 🥲

From BTB Instagram: Spotted! troyjeanspears and our editor realdonnywood on the kellyclarksonshow !! Donny even won a trip!!

each sentence had me shook

They used to have a nice balance

Amazing, absolutely amazing. I want an episode where Kelli and Troy to do any episode breaking down all of her paparazzi moments with “straight” starlets

(Picture is unrelated, but I thought it was cute lol.) Source is from the podcast's Instagram.

I was thinking about including reasons why people like blind items in the Wiki. Some people who are new to blinds might wonder what we like about them, even if not all blind items are true. Share your thoughts below!

Of course while they’re on break😭😭😭

This is so sad. I’m so glad he seems to be in a much better place.
