Dear newsletter friends,

Good evening/morning, depending upon when you’re reading this preview of the reality TV premieres that are coming this week.

The wave of holiday reality TV that began six weeks ago continues this week with our final set of holiday-themed reality competition show premieres, though there may be a few specials to come later.

There are a scattering of other unscripted premieres—one-off specials and full series—but it seems like the momentum is slowing for now. That'll change in January, though, when more than 30 reality shows will premiere in the first week of 2020 alone. It's a gift!
