Used to like this podcast but no more. So lazy. Do some research before launching your opinions. Blake Lively,Austen Kroll and now TFP! Losing credibility quickly

I would have alcohol poisoning if I took a drink every time this was said

Natalie asks horrible questions and is AWFUL interviewer please take her off the air. The way she cuts ppl off and asks brash questions “what is this cliff” and making fun of Jorge’s age , not sure who r shell she is? My review score has plummeted pls get Natalie off

Love this pod and have found myself listening more and more! Quick tip for the team - for the episodes that have anyone speaking outside of Nick, whether it is a cohost or a guest, please remember you have new listeners/fans who don’t know what’s going on so intros are needed! Came back to add on this review - TWINS?! CRYING for the future parents! What a wonderful blessing! Lowkey jealous of their future perfect household! Their solid dynamic and thoughtful on-the-spot feedback continue to impress and enamor me! 10/10/10 recommend top of your list!

thanks for getting it

D-list guests, stale ‘hot takes’, & abysmal vibes. Used to be lighter, funny, with better guests. He added his wife and it went flying downhill even faster. No genuine connections in interviews, lack of real empathy, and it stopped being entertaining. In a saturated market, a washed up ex bachelor rando & his insensitive wife? It’s done.

Terrible!! What happened. It sounded like someone’s mic wasn’t working. How did you post that?! That was hard to listen to

Can you stop talking about river. Nobody cares.

The audio cuts out all the time. I thought it was just one episode but it’s been happening every episode for weeks. I can’t listen anymore because it’s so bad.

This podcast is two hosts that lack empathy and basic decency. They are very out of touch and at times cruel. It's horrible the way that Natalie is very sanctimonious and condescending as well as offputting. Nick is creepy and annoying. They have treated guests terribly repeatedly.

If you want to listen to a show where a 50 yr old man tries to figure out which side his female audience will take on a topic only to pander to them this is the show for you.

Who edited this week? Multiple Pauses and someone's microphone was not on, couldn't hear half of the responses or what they were responding to.. get it together

Do you listen to the podcast before you post? The audio was cutting out though out this whole episode….. yikes!

I was such a fan of your podcast until the Taylor Frankie Paul situation. You boasted and bragged that you single handily chose her as the next Bachelorette but now won’t address that. You are always so transparent take accountability so why now are you avoiding a hard topic?

What’s with all the dead airtime? So ridiculous

Just a big fat NOPE!

I just listened to the Ask Nick episode where the pregnant wife’s husband was having an emotional connection with a coworker. Nick’s advice was a big dose of tough love! A pregnant mama, especially, deserves peace of mind and the loving attention of her partner as she’s growing a baby inside of her. My babies are big now but there was a time in my marriage that my husband and I almost lost our way. He had developed a connection with his ‘work wife’ and for a while I made light of it. Eventually I started listening to my intuition and one day checked his phone. The texts were kind of cutesy and she used a lots of kissing and winking emojis. He was pretty deadpan, but she had ways to connect like she would offer to pick up things from Costco and tell him to come to the house to pick them up. We have mutual friends and once I saw her looking lovingly into his eyes as we were leaving a party. Shortly after that, I mustered the courage to ask what their connection was. He’s an honest guy and he said they had a deep friendship with mutual attraction. The end of the story is we’re still together and stronger than ever. But it took so much to come back from that emotional affair. I thought I was losing my mind while it was happening. But recovering from it was a crazy journey! I have since learned that emotional affairs can be just as devastating as physical affairs. All that to say, Nick, is that you were spot on in your response. As hard as that might have been for her to hear, she needed someone to give her a reality check. Even if she’s not ready to hear what you have to say, so many listeners will benefit from your take!

I was listening to the show for awhile because I enjoyed the reality television reviews, then I heard a podcast with women reviewing the same shows and get this, they didn’t interrupt each other or belittle each others opinions. They didn’t make their staff seem less than. They owned up to their mistakes and laughed about them. It was refreshing. Just saying.

Nick got on his high horse shaming Lisa Vanderpump for not making a statement against James Kennedy. The victim in this case said she was not physically harmed. Conveniently, he deflects from the recorded video of TFP inflicting violence on her boyfriend and child. Because he’s friends with her. Rules for thee, not for me. Nick Viall is so far beyond a terrible podcast host with garbage takes and a history of hypocrisy. He is now excusing and thereby endorsing physical abuse. I sincerely hope no one is triggered or damaged by the absolute nonsense this man spews.

Why is everything production’s fault, Taylor’s circle’s fault, the women’s fault, and Dakota’s fault lol. It’s Taylor’s actions?!?

I used to really enjoy this podcast and Nick’s perspective on pop culture and reality TV. The quality of the podcast has gone way downhill. Horrid takes. No accountability. Too many uneducated voices who don’t fact check or care about the impact of what they say. Such a disappointment,

They’re both so out of touch and too into themselves. Not it.

So are they just never gonna talk about anything they’re involved in??!!? Austen, Taylor Frankie Paul…them ripping on Colton for never taking accountability for the Cassie situation and then he did…but yet they take accountability for absolutely nothing. Ignoring it doesn’t make it go away and makes them look so much worse.

Nick and Natalie are so off-putting and clearly don’t care about their listener base. They are rude, preachy, uninteresting, and continue to miss the mark.

I enjoy listening to Nick but youve gotta get the absolutely insufferable man hater Ciara off the podcast. Every single thing out of her mouth is passive aggressive and negative. She thinks she’s doing something with her takes but really just comes off as a miserable human being. Seriously every time she speaks i roll my eyes and fast forward. She contributes nothing. Get her off the show and I’ll start listening again 👋

I genuinely wanted to enjoy this, but I found myself feeling like I lost two hours that I’ll never get back. Given both hosts background in entertainment, I expected something that was at least somewhat meaningful or engaging. Unfortunately, the tone was misaligned from the start. Instead of a real conversation, it almost immediately shifted to a therapy session and not in a good way. The “conversation“ was more lecturing than hosting. These guests are willingly sharing their stories/lives. There is a difference between asking someone real questions and tearing someone down when they are already being vulnerable. Saying harsh things and then laughing right after? It felt uncomfortable and unnecessary. If you’re going to bring someone on who’s clearly opening up, maybe don’t treat them like the punchline. And Nick, please stop crossing your legs like they are stuffed in an edamame shell throughout the entire episode. That was almost more cringey than the “podcast.”

I love this podcast! Especially the advice Nick gives to callers! He is kind and compassionate. I also love the updates to the past callers. I find the show very entertaining and insightful.

He’s creepy & she’s annoying

IMPOSSIBLE to listen to! I can not BELIVE that this is the number one podcast in the relationships category! I am someone who LOVES BANTER! But somehow, this is just HARD TO LISTEN TO!! The yelling, the rudeness, the narcissism and, well, if I were to list everything, we’d be here forever. And it’s Bronwyn, NOR BRAH-WIN!!!

I see your starting to distance yourself from this by saying.. out of respect or it’s a heavy situation…. You sure were extremely vocal when she got it in the beginning… I don’t think you should be giving life advice because my dog knew this was a very bad idea. Between you and your child bride… the horrible interview with Austin and now think Taylor would be great on the bachelorette…and yes I understand this is only 2 situations but it’s this two that people will remember. Other podcasters are already mentioning it. Do better

They have no regards for other people’s opinion or emotions other than themselves. Whit e people supremacy at its finest. Not for me, bye.

The guest he brings on literally nobody knows them and it’s so boring

This podcast is actually annoying and hard to listen to, all of the constant laughing gets old. It’s not funny or interesting.

How many people are on this podcast? The amount of voices and off topic ramblings in this show are so weird. The group does a lot of bashing and gives less than appropriate advice to callers. Boring and lacking substance.

…followed by Nick and the producers. Lack of research, flippant comments, and horrible takes, for example on the Blake Lively case. In the beginning I thought he was interesting and thoughtful. Not sure what happened.

This use to be a great podcast. But my god those two are INSUFFERABLE. The lack of self awareness. They both act like entitled brats and their opinion or way the chose to speak to others is superior.

Como se dice awful 😉

Unfortunately this podcast is garbage now. Nick changed all of his takes to agree with Natalie and it’s not likeable. The recent clip of them trying to make someone give up their seat on a flight because they didn’t buy seats together (something nick actively said was wrong before) was so embarrassing it’s sad.

I pretty much would only listen for LIB content and now u have to be a paid sub to get it lame

A lot of reviews have already said it- I think they want situations to be swept under the rug, but the OG listeners want accountability. I loved listening, and enjoyed so many episodes. My first and favorite was with guest Raven Ross. There was a caller going through a tough time with a friend and holding them accountable for cheating, and I was going through the EXACT same thing. It was wild to hear this story on my first Viall Files listen, and it was either Amanda Lifford or Alison Martin who brought up a friend saying- “When people bring conflict to me directly, I look at it as such an act of love that they are willing to endure the discomfort in service of our relationship.” I have listened to that episode many times and wrote that quote down, because WOW! I miss those dynamic women and the wisdom they brought to the show. But that was before they tried to review every single Bravo show and gave these weird recaps to the viewers. And I will never understand the NFL breakdown segments. As a NFL fan- I tuned out. Just some feedback, no one will probably ever read.

Just not impressed anymore. It feels so off.

Can’t listen to Nick the puppet master with the marbles in the mouth and Natalie the puppet

Miss the original crew and OG producer. Do more research and take some sensitivity training. Nat Joy should not be on this pod. As you know. Previous review: Loved the Natasha episode. Love Jason Ritter on here! Keep these awesome cohosts coming! Five stars for Jason Ritter!!! Updated: One star for mocking suicide. H4TWR.

Red flags all the way. 🚩 CANCEL THESE 2!!! These 2 are so awful, idk which one is worse. Natalie gives me such “suss” vibes. Like how many skeletons are in her closet!?!? Some of which were on YouTube and Reddit. I think she was what they call a “sugar baby”. What are the chances that she didn’t know who Nick was when she “slipped into his DmS”. In the slim chance she’s not lying, I guess this is her typical behavior when she sees a complete stranger on the internet??? Quite a bit of insight into her character- or lack thereof. She went from a “sugar baby” girl to a “mean girl”. It’s so irresponsible for the producers to give her a mic when her behavior has proven to be harmful to multiple guests. Let’s be clear, it’s not a one off… it’s happened on several occasions. Natalie and Nick are insufferable. The “Household” Nick hired Is comprised of children who very clearly never fit into the mainstream. They were the outcasts… Which speaks to Nick’s character. He needs to be the most important or only voice in the room. This only happens if he fills the room w ppl who are half his age and not confident enough to speak up. Moreover, The Justin Baldoni “reporting” has been so biased and one sided (which is antithetical to the true goal of reporting) and once again so irresponsible. Finally what Natalie did to Austin is insane. They/SHE NEEDS to be held responsible, but they won’t be… They will continue to sit on their soapbox, make tens of millions $$$, never issue an apology or acknowledge their bad choices & Billy whomever they want, whenever they want. Just to leave us the biggest ick of all, we’ll have to endure Nick’s ENDLESS praise of his BEAUTIFUL wife, mother of his child and the real star in the room. And of course, his self proclaimed notion that he’s the only good husband and father in the world. Please cancel these 2 and the podcast immediately!!!

As a avid listener since the beginning I unfortunately will not listen anymore due to the total lack of accountability. Awful.

Boring AF.

Natalie makes this podcast awful to listen to

I love listening to your podcast at night to wind down and sometimes fall asleep but then when the ads come on Natalie is always yelling. Nick also gets louder on the ads too tho, and they’re just jarring loud compared to the rest of the episode, especially the Ask Nick episodes, which are my favorite. I genuinely don’t mean any hate, please just don’t yell the ads 🙏🏼🙉

I like the episodes when Natalie is out. She just doesn’t know when to stop. Hopefully she’ll take a back seat when the twins arrive.

I tried, but I just can’t. The complete bias against Baldoni without acknowledging the FACTS is just unfair, maddening, and just plain unethical.
