Lovett or Leave It Presents: Bravo, America! (with Parvati Shallow)

<p>Parvati Shallow on femininity and flirtation as reality TV weapons, and how the "Black Widow" moniker cast a shadow on her real-life relationships. Parvati talks about how her strange childhood informed her decision to compete on Survivor, how reality TV has evolved, and how she has evolved with it. She's been a contestant on The Traitors, Deal or No Deal Island, and five seasons of Survivor, and being seen as a vixen-coded "villain" has given her a singular look into the expectations for women on screen and off. A fascinating conversation with one of the greats. And for an even deeper look into Parvati’s story, check out her book, “Nice Girls Don't Win: How I Burned It All Down to Claim My Power.”</p><p> </p><p>For a closed-captioned version of this episode, <a href="https://youtu.be/ZKb_c2bTg2k">click here</a>.
