Mike and Matt bring both insight and enthusiasm as they discuss new faces joining familiar shows, the crossover of Bravo personalities, and what these changes mean for reality TV fans this year. Mike and Matt break down the Hulu event's biggest reveals, starting with the new cast members joining the next season of Dancing with the Stars, Maura Higgins (The Traitors) and Ciara Miller (Summer House), both coming off high-drama stints on The Traitors and Summer House.
