## Resource

On this Tuesday episode, Dylan sits down with Kate Chastain for a chaotic catch-up covering House of Villains, Below Deck nostalgia, and Traitors throwbacks. Kate breaks down the House of Villains cast dynamics, who surprised her most, and why certain people were trying way too hard to be “one of the boys.” They also get into life after Below Deck, why Kate feels she left at the perfect time, and how the format lets you break the fourth wall in a way most reality shows never do. She opens up about her unexpected bond with Tiffany “New York” Pollard, what it was like living in the house together, and why the whole experience felt like a vacation compared to the Below Deck grind.
