Welcome back to The Viall Files: Reality Recap!
Happy Tuesday!! And what a lineup, today we're joined by the one and only Horace Gold, internet diva, bringing the hot takes. We dive back into the West and Amanda saga, unpack the Alix Earle vs. Alex Cooper drama, and ask the real question: is Coachella actually overrated or are we just deep in FOMO? We even get into a little WNBA lore. Plus, Xzavier from Temptation Island is here spilling what really went down- You'll have to listen to find out!!
"I ended a friendship one time because a friend invited my ex boyfriend and I to the same party."
