Special preview! ✨ Reality TV premieres for Feb. 4 to 10, 2024
Dear newsletter friends,
Good evening! February may not have brought us spring quite yet, but it is delivering a bunch of new reality TV shows, including one of my favorite competitions, so I thought I'd send you this preview of the week.
Yes, it's Tournament of Champions time again—or, more accurately, this week it's time for a new spin-off/prequel to TOC.
That's below, along with other notable shows headed to your screens, as hand-picked by me.
💌 Would you like to get this message in your inbox most Sundays, support my work and independent media, and set your own price—all at the same time?! Just…
And thanks! 🙏
🗓️ The week's premieres
This week's reality TV premieres include:
The start of Tournament of Champions, with 16 chefs competing for the final four slots in TOC V, plus a new Chopped tournament, which has a randomizing wheel and thus sounds very familiar!
New seasons of Drag Race España and RuPaul’s Drag Race UK Versus The World
The new dating show Couple to Throuple, which I'll review
More Below Deck, Impractical Jokers, and Jersey Shore Family Vacation
Documentaries and specials this week follow:
Alex Honnold attempting to summit an arctic sea cliff
Cyberslueths: The Idaho Murders
Explorations into why the Rapanui people created Easter Island’s monoliths
The Final Dive of the Titan; and attempts to identify a dead hiker in Florida
Happy watching! See you back in your inbox on Friday.
best,
Andy
