I followed again after taking a long break and was excited to hear Wells talk about Traitors.. but the 5? 10? of you uniformed hosts make it unbearable to listen to. Unfollowed already. I hope y’all are embarrassed for making fun of Justin Baldoni and calling him a coward when in fact.. it’s you guys. Yall sound like the podcast version of The View. Negative, contrary, talk over each other.. just enjoyable all around.

Nick is a cotton mouthed mumbling self important clown, Natalie is always xannied out with a rare moment of waking up and getting on her moral high horse over weirdest stuff, the other two hosts are uninspired NPCs, where does he find this squad of truly unplugged bots

I really enjoy this podcast- even though I don’t watch any Bravo shows. However, the household is a bit much— it’s hard to keep track of people, everyone talking over one another and Mary (I believe) needs to go- some voices aren’t meant for podcasting. The Ask Nick episodes are fun, but EXTREMELY long and drawn out. I’d rather shorter episodes than 40min with one caller saying the same thing over and over. I end up closing the episode early

When are they going to address Natalie’s cheating scandal? Hard to listen to someone pick apart everyone’s else’s relationship when their own relationship is obviously not working…

Just found this podcast a few weeks ago. I know Nick is from the bachelor franchise, I didn’t want his show though, and I Like special forces, I saw him in that. I love the cast dynamic. I love when the lawyer comes on, she’s great. A little too much conversation about Justin/Blake lively stuff. We get it. I don’t watch real house wives, that’s a lot of the conversations. Overall I love this show. I mostly listen to true crime podcast, so this is different and nice because it’s pop culture and I think they’re funny. Great show. I have been recommending it. I don’t usually do reviews but this show is good! Positive but not too positive!

Could the two be more obvious sellouts? Following the footsteps of those other two infomercial hosts.

Clean house please with the household. I believe her name is Mary she doesn’t need to be included. Also your ask Nick episodes is like 30-40 minutes per caller. Like get to the point 🤣 and you do but for some reason you go on for more and more. Rather have a shorter episode or more calls with that 90 minute episode

If you can get past the complaining about “trolls” for like 30 mins of each episode combined, it’s halfway bearable. Guys how about you try to focus on the positive and the few fans you do have? Marble mouth’s wife is the biggest complainer and just quite unpleasant

I love this podcast. It’s by far one of the most entertaining, emotionally intelligent, and real podcast I’ve listened to and I love all the humans that I listen to. Bad reviews are CRAZY because the whole household is fantastic. Keep it up, I love this! XO Breezy Money🤍

The recent episodes on the Blake vs. Justin lawsuits are appallingly biased in favor of Blake. It’s so poorly researched, sloppy and honestly, you and your team should be ashamed. Please read your latest reviews and comments. You should learn from this and have higher expectations for more objective reporting in the future or at least not speak on topics if you can’t do a fair and reasonable job talking about.

Love this podcast has the best guests, also love having Natalie on the pod. The story with the stretching when she thought it was a massage had me CRYING. lol

I have probably reviewed this pod before, but it deserves another 5 star review. I love the content, love the guests, and LOVE the extended episodes. I wish all pods were more than being cut off at the hour mark. Nick gets awesome guests also. The only criticism is not being introduced to new household members instead of just hearing new voices. Thanks Nick for a great show!!

A water fast is giving Gwyneth Paltrow misinformation wellness scam. Please consult a doctor before doing because it’s not healthy to go without food for that long. Intermittent fasting is different and can be beneficial.

Find a real lawyer. Emily has no clue what she is talking about. She doesn’t even understand the role of a Director on a film. That … is crazy, Emily.

You all sound ridiculous. Why act like you know every thing that happened on this case? You all are informing people as if you were there and know for a fact things happened a certain way. It sounds disgusting. If you all want to advocate for women there’s different ways to do it instead on talking down on someone and a case you have no clue about. This podcast is so biased it’s disgusting. Like Nick has never done anything inappropriate? Like Natalie has never done anything inappropriate? Didn’t you have to ID Natalie when you all go together at first because she was THAT young? Yeah ok that’s not giving predator behavior but Justin is. LOL

Decided to give this pod a listen after hearing about its biased coverage of the Blake Lively case. I had to know how someone could refute all of the evidence that has came out that disproves so many of her allegations and it didn’t disappoint! Complete with cherry picking, ignoring the smoking gun, eye rolls and sighing. If you’re looking for an echo chamber on the wrong side of history about so many topics, this one is for you!

Wow! It use to be that Nick wouldn’t let anyone else get a word in edgewise… NOW it’s amazing if Nick inserts any opinions or asks any questions at all. Perhaps they should rename The Viall files to “The Natalie Show”!!! More Specifically, I don’t think we even heard from Nick during the Jeff Lewis and Heather McMahan interviews. He looks v pleased as he sits back in his chair watching Admirably as Natalie takes over the 🎙️ Also, this “Household” is the most peculiar group of ppl ever! None of them are qualified to be on a pop culture podcast. Justin has the worst taste I’ve ever witnessed on a gay man! The vibes vs stats is the worst. It’s clearly intentional that Nick chose a group of outcasts to fill the room and do idk what…. Get coffee?? Finally most infuriating is how unprofessionally biased all Blake vs Justin discussions are. Truly disappointing. I thought Nick was a professional. Natalie decided that Justin’s a creep and Blake is the victim thus they are simply running w it. Despite having zero receipts they are just going OFF! This show has become almost unbearable. Also Ciera’s voice truly burst my ears. Please clean “house” and start all over!!!

At least do your research. It’s such biased takes and Natalie is so immature and yelling her opinions constantly. It’s hard to listen to. I keep taking breaks and when I come back it’s somehow worse. The Natalie show. I miss Nick.

I just want somebody to tell Justin that the plural for multiple females is women, not woman. These words have different pronunciations, somebody please help him. It happens so often, it’s almost mean that nobody has told him. Aside from that, hard agree with the other reviews here. It’s a tough listen overall. And good lord, the way Nick reads the ads is so obnoxious. But if you’re here for more Bravo content, you’re going to be really annoyed by how little these people actually know about the shows. They’re new to Bravo and haven’t gone back to the beginning on anything, so they don’t understand what they’re talking about a lot of the time. They barely know who these people are. So when Nick is being the contrarian, as he often likes to be, it is just that much more painful to listen to. And unfortunately nobody else has the brainpower or confidence to chime in with anything meaningful. Thank God for WWC and Danny.

Time stamps would be helpful for those of us who wish to skip the condescending commentary of the hosts regarding the whole Justin/Blake situation.

I listened for Emily D but it was really hard to make it through the hour.

I’ve been an avid listener, but it’s become harder and harder to take the show seriously recently. Although I may be biased as a woman, it’s so apparent that Nick has deep issues with women when he’s assessing stories, giving advice, interviewing, etc. For instance, I watched The Ultimatum with a guy friend and even he commented on how unhinged and violent Nick seemed in those episodes. A lot of Sandy’s behavior was to calm him and not escalate, it seemed. I’ve been in violent relationships so I recognized it immediately. When Nick was interviewing them on the podcast, he almost solely focused on Sandy’s actions (too flirty, not comforting her ex who was overstepping his bounds) and rarely addressed Nick’s obvious behavioral issues. I’ve seen this a lot. Idk if it’s due to not fully addressing the cheating rumors from Natalie or other past wounds from women but it shines through in the interviews and Ask Nick episodes. I’m fine with tough love and accountability but the guys also need to be evaluated through this lens. It’s hard to be objective when we relate to the situation so that’s what it seems like is happening. Either way, it’s not a great direction for the show since a bitter host isn’t ideal.

When he was the most toxic man to exist and has a horrible past where he treated women terribly. But Nick will try to knock off someone who actually is a good man. It's giving Ryan Reynolds and I'm sure soon old clips of Nick will surface

I’ve been a fan of Viall Files since the beginning. I love how Natalie is on the pod permanently now as she has taken it to the next level with her insights and dynamic with the household and she adds a fresh perspective making the episodes even more engaging. Can’t wait to hear more. I love the football addition that you guys did this football season. My only thing I wish you guys had more bachelor contestant interviews on the pod

this is one of the only things getting me through the week!!😭 i truly love this show. natalie being on is so fun & i love seeing your guys relationship on the show. 10000/10

This show lacks intelligence.

I have been a loyal listener for the last four years and have shared this podcast with many friends during that time. I mean this next part with the utmost respect and my intention is to inform rather than offend. It seems like over the last year, specifically the last six months that as you and Natalie are becoming more engrained in the bravo and Hollywood society life, those interactions color your opinions of the world in a way it wasn’t being portrayed to your audience before. Specifically when it comes to the Blake lively and Justin Baldoni situation, it’s clear you made up your mind that Blake and Ryan Reynolds were right from the beginning and it reads very much like this is because you’re wanting to get in good with that side of society because they have more to offer you than Justin Baldoni ever could. I hope you’re reading your reviews on social media as well as your podcast and hear that your fans share these concerns, as well. That said, I wish you and your family nothing but the absolute best. Cheers to the new year!

My gosh, do a little research if you’re going to talk about such an important topic as the Blake Lively/Justin Baldoni case. For anyone interested in much better informed content check out Megan Kelly’s interview with Justin Baldoni’s lawyer or Popcorned Planet. Very fair coverage, less echo chamber ego.

The Heather McMahan episode was the Natalie show. Was Nick even there?? Ridiculous and crude

🫠

Great guest and episode!

Nick has identified and compared himself to Ryan Reynolds for yearsssssss, that's why he sides with Blake. Emily D Baker is my fav, so I'm disappointed in her take. This is my last listen.

Used to love listening now it’s sometimes hard to even get through an episode. The advice episodes go on forever beating the subject to death. And I hate saying this but when Natalie is on it’s all about her, very immature. That Heather McMahon episode was very hard to listen to her babble on about I don’t even know her dad? No one cares. Would have loved to hear more from the actual guest.

Very one sided.

I don’t know why people give this podcast and Natalie so much hate but I love her! Nick and Natalie are so entertaining to listen to. The “ask nick” is my favorite I literally look forward to it and wish it was more than once a week! I could live without the sports segment though 😉

bring on guests who challenge your views, not one that validates your own. but nick refuses to be wrong so he’d never.

That’s all

It’s a shame, there are some great interviews on this POD. But between the Blake Lively complaint and Nicole from LI interview, the self righteousness indignation is overwhelming. If I had heard Nick or his wife sound at all humbled or accountable vs defensive, I might keep listening.

You mentioned having an open mind and then proceed to only see one point of view. No genuine attempt to see nuance. Difficult to listen to this particular episode. Not really surprised about your takes on the story, but it is disappointing.

I used to be an avid listener but it feels like once they brought Natalie on film time it went down hill big time. They just seem like a bunch of complainers who always want to take the PC approach and are just mean. I may or may not still listen if there’s a guest I REALLY wanna see lol

Stopped listening after Natalie joined. The conversation when nick had the other gals on was much more interesting.

Oh my god, I used to love this podcast. Unfortunately since Ally & Amanda left, this show has jumped the shark. “The house” are all such immature and uniformed people who are miserable to listen to. Natalie is such a pick me and attention seeking. Justin is moronic. The topics aren’t at all researched. The Justin Baldoni ep. was wild in the worst way. Nick needs to shake up his household and balance things out with some older people who bring critical thinking to the show. The cast as it is now is an example of social media brain rot in human form. Yikes.

Hoping they give as much of an aggressive backtrack on Justin Baldoni as they did to giving Blake Lively their support. Innocent until proven guilty.. you have egg on your face

After listening to as much as I could of your It Ends With Us episode, I have to ask how you can speak to one side of a drama without all of the facts. It's terrible and I cannot believe you have not pulled the episode now that we all have heard Justin Baldoni's side. I don't know who is telling the truth or if either side is completely innocent but it's disappointing that a man's reputation can be ruined without verification of the facts and I don't want any part of it. I hope you consider pulling the episode because it's clear you don't have both sides of the story.

Used to be fun. Now it’s just you and Natalie and your opinions which is fine. But there just doesn’t ever seem to be an unbiased party bc of the marriage dynamic. To be clear, I couldn’t do a show with my husband so still give you credit. Miss the really thoughtful interviews of people.

lol that’s it, that’s the review

Loved the Blake Lively episode! I rarely listen anymore because I don’t follow most of the reality shows you cover, but always enjoy hearing Nick’s takes on things that I am familiar with. Would love it if you did more full episodes on current news stories like the Blake Lively lawsuit. It gives non-reality viewers a reason to tune in!

Nick sounds like a total dummy giving advice. He has no self awareness and criticizes people for things he does so often. Definitely a narcissist.

The Blake Lively/Justin Baldoni episode could have been a TikTok video of Natalie ranting on her own account.

Nick you hate women so much it’s hard to listen. Also please stop asking someone who was in an abusive relationship “why did you stay so long”
