Jess and Becca spiral from life updates and work-life chaos. After exposing their double lives—professional in public, unhinged on the pod—they build a rom-com boyfriend bracket and go head-to-head over soft boys vs. reformed jerks. From The Notebook to The Hunger Games, it’s dramatic, chaotic, slightly toxic, and deeply committed to finding the ultimate fictional man. Jess shares with us an Instagram worthy quote: "you worry too much for someone who has figured it out every single time." The girls reflect through every bad day, every life crisis, and even the smallest of inconveniences, they have endured and so did you. That's a beautiful reminder for you too, Binging Babes!

Romance is analyzed. Standards are questioned. Delusion is encouraged.
