The AMPire Diaries Episode 2: “Friday Night Bites” | “Family Ties”
Moving along on this Vampire Diaries rewatch-slash-first-time watch (and mostly spoiler-free) combination podcast, it’s now time for some “Friday Night Bites” (Season 1, Episode 3) and “Family Ties” (Season 1, Episode 4). You gotta love puns, but you’ve also gotta love The CW’s official loglines for these episodes:
“MYSTIC FALLS IS ROCKED BY VIOLENCE” (“Friday Night Bites”)
“YOU'RE INVITED TO A PARTY TO DIE FOR” (“Family Ties”)
The more AMPED logline this time around? It’s gotta go to “Family Ties.”
Whether you’re a Vampire Diaries obsessive or newcomer, join along with hosts LaToya Ferguson (Vampire Diaries obsessive), Morgan Lutich (Vampire Diaries obsessive), and Jill Defiel (Vampire Diaries newcomer) on their new podcast journey. Most importantly, get AMPED (and horny) along with them on this journey. Ya gotta get AMPED.

TVD 5x01 | Hope you all had fun during your hot girl summer because we’re jumping RIGHT back into the thick of things with the season 5 premiere of the vampire diaries. It’s a little messy, and we only like about 60% of it, but hey! We’re back! Fun fact we recorded this episode BEFORE Lorde announced her new music so Jourdann is a psychic for that one. Matt gets pod people’d. Rebekah’s a bi icon. Hayley Kiyoko is here for some reason.

Doesn't it always come down to the love of a woman? Yes, unless that woman is Carol Lockwood, who is on one in this episode. But being on one is kind of the theme of this episode: Logan Fell tries to honeypot Aunt Jenna at the Founder's Day party and Damon is just being season one Damon. Thankfully Stefan swoops in and vervains Damon right before he can kill Caroline, but then we get a self-righteous Stefan monologue, so at what cost?
This week: Season 1 Episode 4 | Family Ties

This week on @betches, Aleen and Jordana hold it down while Sami jets to Morocco. They debate whether a trip with kids actually counts as a vacation, officially rank Thanksgiving as a prestige holiday, and Aleen declares her love for chopped liver.. They unpack the Chiara Ferragni charity scandal and analyze the Wicked premiere scare where Cynthia Erivo stepped between Ariana Grande and a red carpet crasher. We all need a friend like Cynthia. Plus, cozy screen time chat: The Beast in Me on Netflix, a little Leo movie discourse, heavy Keri Russell appreciation, and a final question for the group chat… what exactly does Kris Jenner have planned for Britney Spears next?

This week, Sami accidentally made 6 challah for Rosh Hashanah, Jordana shares her harrowing onion chopping accident, and Aleen reminisces about the ways she used to bribe Jordana to hang out in middle school. Most importantly, Jordana unveils her new custom 3 Betch Movers hoodie… We Here For You(r Move). Then, they dive into the headlines, starting with Lana Del Rey’s marriage to alligator tour guide Jeremy Dufrene, which simultaneously feels like something out of an alternate dimension and completely on brand. Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bongiovi shared wedding photos of their own this week, and they’re so very young, but we wish them all the best. Next, some Diddy updates and celeb death conspiracy theories (including a spooky Britney Spears/Brittany Murphy crossover). Onto film and TV, the trio share their thoughts on Nobody Wants This, Will & Harper, The Apprentice, and the trailers for Nicole Kidman’s Babygirl, and Amy Adams’ Night Bitch. Our Betch Of The Week is Lana for not giving a fuck and finding true love, and we’re sending onions (and knives) to the Caymans for maiming Jordana’s finger. Shana Tova!
We’ll be back next week at our new Friday 6AM EST release time!

This week, Sami, Aleen, and Jordana catch up on airplane shoe etiquette (on or off in the bathroom?) before diving into last night’s VMAs, from live performances to fashion choices. Taylor swept for Fortnight, but we’re not buying it as the legitimate Song of the Summer. Meanwhile, Taylor and Travis are doing everything in their power to make us forget about that publicity breakup conspiracy document, and honestly… it’s kind of working. In related billionaire news, Selena Gomez officially joined the club this week, with the success of Rare Beauty. We love a self-made woman, and we will be sat for her upcoming film Emilia Perez. Up at TIFF, JLo and Matt Damon were spotted having an intense conversation while holding hands at the after party for Unstoppable, which stars JLo and is produced by Matt and Ben’s production company. What could they have been talking about? And finally, Netflix’s The Perfect Couple dropped this week and we have… critiques (except for Dakota Fanning, who was perfect). Listen for the full rundown on why it didn’t work for us. Our Betch of the Week is Selena, and we’re packing the plane to the Caymans with the writers room of The Perfect Couple.

On this week on @betches, Sami and Aleen break down the reaction to Sydney Sweeney’s now infamous American Eagle ad campaign. Is it just a bad pun, or something deeper? Next, they get into the release of Happy Gilmore 2 and whether Adam Sandler is entering a full blown redemption era. Is this movie just a nostalgic cash grab or something more authentic? Afterwards, they dive into the recent chaos of celebrity couple news… yes, including Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau. They also take a nostalgic walk down memory as Sami gets ready to visit her old sleep away camp to talk about running a media business.

This week on @ betches, Sami and Jordana discuss their week off in ~Ibitha~ and the sheer joy of order chicken tenders at the club at 2am. They then dive head first into the royal engagement that is Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce. Sami and Jordana break down the ring, the (cringey) instagram caption, and the swiftie chaos that followed. Plus, was Taylor not invited to Selena Gomez’s bachelorette trip in Cabo? And which one of Taylor’s exes should be invited to her wedding? It probably won’t be Jake Gyllenhaal.

This week, Aleen, Jordana, and Sami analyze the latest pap photos and rumors around Taylor Swift’s potential engagement to Travis Kelce. Could a pair of gloves be hiding a ring, or is it just freezing outside? Are they waiting until after the Super Bowl to make their big announcement? Is this all an intentional distraction tactic to distance herself from the Blake Lively drama? On that note, Jordana’s entire TikTok algorithm is full of It Ends With Us drama, which prompted her and Sami to rewatch the OG Gossip Girl pilot - and Chuck is so much worse than they remembered. Next, they celebrate Meryl Streep’s incredible escape from the LA wildfires by cutting a hole in her fence and driving through it. Then, Spencer Pratt remains consistent as Heidi Montag’s biggest fan, shutting down fan suggestions that she should join RHOBH. Our Betch of the Week is Chanel Ayan, who mistakenly thought the former Survivor contestants on The Traitors were in fact survivors of real life tragedies. No one is going to the Caymans this week - but if you think there’s someone who deserves it, let us know your thoughts!

Happy Bday Aleen! An important day for Pisces everywhere. While Aleen’s in the Caymans, Sami recaps her trip to the White House and Jordana gives a sneak peak into her U Up interview with her dream guest Esther Perel. They recap the (boring) Oscars, where the most exciting headline seems to be Vanessa Hudgens’ pregnancy. Kim K also continues to attempt to hard launch Odell at every major event, including the Vanity Fair Oscars After Party, and no one cares. Speaking of couples, are Taylor and Travis on the rocks? Sami thinks so, while Jordana thinks Tay should consider circling back to one of her exes. Then onto more piping hot English breakfast tea – Kate Middleton’s photoshop fail, and Prince William’s alleged affair. We’ll see how things look after Easter… Also, this just in, Meghan Markle has a new lifestyle brand that just launched mid-recording… American Riviera Orchard. They wrap up with a VPR recap and the Mauricio/ Hilton drama. Olivia Rodrigo is our Betch of the Week for handing out Plan B and condoms to fans on the GUTS tour. Kensington Palace’s PR team will be sent to the Caymans. No further questions.

The original recipe is back, IRL. Aleen kicks things off with a revelation that one day, some day, she *will* turn 40, but at least she has a trip to Japan to look forward to. Of course, we have to discuss all things Taylor ahead of The Tortured Poets Department release. Even Jordana has to admit Tay and Travis looked really cute at Coachella. On a *not so shocking note * the Golden Bachelor Gerry Turner is getting a divorce after 3 months of marriage to Theresa Nist…. It’s giving Kim K and Kris Humphries. Our Betch of the Week is NCAA superstar Caitlin Clarke, who’s worth way more than she’s being given. Get your sh*t together WNBA. As for the Caymans? Gerry and Theresa are on their way, they knew this divorce was coming before they even got married…. We’re unable to be duped.
