What started as watching Survivor, Laguna Beach, and The Challenge in Alyssa's childhood bedroom sparked a love of reality television. Without trying, she's become an expert in all things Bachelor Nation, an American Idol guru, and will always be seated when there's a new Dancing With the Stars episode on. When she's not rewatching comfort favorites like How I Met Your Mother, Gilmore Girls, and The O.C., she's catching up on the hottest new shows. Alyssa joined the TV Insider team in 2025 after previously writing for HollywoodLife.com and Life & Style/In Touch Weekly's digital outlets.
