Welcome to today’s episode of “Ahead of the Curve with Coco Mocoe”! We will be diving into the hot mess that was the “Love Island USA” Reunion which aired last night on Peacock. I have never seen a reunion fumble so badly.

For paid subscribers, we will be discussing more thoughts on the Blake Lively “It Ends With Us” marketing fiasco which only got worse since my last podcast about the topic:

Plus, I want to briefly touch on the bizarre world that is TikTok Shop. Has anyone else noticed how bad it has gotten?
