Listener sentiment
Listener sentiment toward misSPELLING is deeply polarized, but the most recent reviews mark a notable shift from content-based criticism to frustration over Tori Spelling's prolonged and repeated absences from the show. Several recent reviewers report feeling abandoned after brief returns, and many are annoyed that unrelated podcasts — particularly a true-crime series and shows hosted by producer Amy Sugarman — are being published on Tori's feed in her place. Beyond the absence issue, a recurring cross-section of criticism targets Tori's lack of preparation, rambling solo episodes, and Amy Sugarman's habit of interrupting guests and co-hosts, while a contingent of one-star reviews objects to specific controversial guests such as Gypsy Rose Blanchard and Hilaria Baldwin. On the positive side, a loyal fan base continues to praise Tori's vulnerability, humor, and relatability, with particular affection for her "Manor" episodes recounting her childhood in the Spelling mansion and her candid reflections on motherhood and divorce. The overall picture is of a show with genuine audience devotion that is currently being undermined by inconsistent publishing, jarring feed management, and uneven production quality.
