Why is it so difficult these days to launch an original reality TV franchise on network TV? If you look at the major players these days (“The Amazing Race,” “Survivor,” “Dancing with the Stars,” “Hell’s Kitchen”), almost all of them are ten seasons old. The only one that is somewhat-different is “MasterChef,” but that came […]
Whenever we try to think about who we would want to see nominated in the Reality Host category for the Primetime Emmy Awards, there is one question that always comes to mind: Can we imagine the show working without them? More than any other, the five people that we’ve listed here are really integral to […]
There’s no way getting around the amazingness that is Judd Daughtery. Robyn Kass and company did a heck of a job in casting this “Big Brother 15” season, and while there are a few too many alpha-males and young people, you do have some great characters like this guy, McCrae, and even the oh-so-delusional Nick […]
Matt Carter Big Brother, Emmys, The Glee Project, The Voice, Top Chef
We hate to say it, but the past year has not been a great one for singing competitions. Save for maybe “The Voice,” singing shows are starting to dissipate, “Survivor” cast Brandon Hantz for a second time, “So You Think You Can Dance” had an extremely disjointed summer season, and “The Amazing Race” continued to […]
Back when we first read about McCrae Olson’s inclusion into the “Big Brother 15” cast, we immediately pegged him and his job of “pizza delivery boy” to be the Erik “ice cream scooper” Reichenbach of the “Survivor” community. Now that we know more about him, we actually believe that even more so. They are both […]
As it turns out, there are more twists coming up for “Big Brother 15” beyond just having an “MVP” that is voted on by the public: There are also going to be three people nominated for eviction. The thinking here from CBS’ point of view seems to be simple: They’re tired of the floaters making […]
Just in case you cannot get enough of “Big Brother 15” just know that you’re not alone. We’ve already updated our sidebar (which you can see below and to the right) so that it shows you our latest updates from the show. That’ll be there all summer long, that way it’s nice and convenient for […]
When we posted our story yesterday about the upcoming fall schedule for CBS, the open 8:30 p.m. Eastern time slot on Monday, September 23 suggested to us one thing: Just like with this past season, “How I Met Your Mother” is going to kick things off with an hour-long episode. Luckily, this news has finally […]
John Hurt may be playing a super-secretive role as “The Doctor” (or at least one in name, but not in spirit) in the upcoming 50th anniversary special for “Doctor Who,” but it may be safe now to say not to expect him to stick around much longer than that. Why? The actor has scored himself […]
For those of you eagerly awaiting the June 26 launch of “Big Brother 15,” here’s another reprieve with the latest promotional material coming our way via CBS. Neither one gives much of anything away when it comes to the new season, despite all of the crazy rumors that are running around. (Some of our favorite […]
