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:
"It Ends With Us" P.R. Fiasco or Genius? + The End of the "Mr. Beast" Era on YouTube

Plus, I want to briefly touch on the bizarre world that is TikTok Shop. Has anyone else noticed how bad it has gotten?
Thank you for reviewing the podcast on Apple and Spotify to help it grow in the charts! I believe we are in the top 30 of “Entertainment News” as of last week, eek!
