Full Season Rewatch & Recap: The Island (Season 16) w/ Paige

The rewatch series is back! I am on to season 16, The Island. A memorable season to say the least, with lots of interesting angles to discuss as the show went a totally new direction while also going totally off the rails from a cast members acting horribly stand point.

To break down this inflection point of a season I needed to bring on another expert, so I've got the Queen of Challenge TikTok and host of Most Likely Two, Paige, here with me!
