The next Real World Homecoming is filming, a mysterious promo, The Circle's return, and more
Dear newsletter subscribers,
As I teased on Instagram last night, I’ve done more than five hours of interviews in recent days—and I have many more interviews scheduled.
It’s all for one story that has been so fun to report and I can’t wait to publish and share with you. Coming soon, I promise!
But first, here’s what I wrote this week:
The big stories
PBS is creating its own cooking competition, but has some alarming fine print, which I asked PBS about
I analyzed this (not-so) mysterious reality TV promo, which doesn’t actually mention the show’s name!
The Mole season 2: all my recaps are now complete! If you have Netflix, you can easily watch along with me, whenever you want.
🗓 Premieres
This week, I made a change to the way I share upcoming premieres, to both make it (hopefully!) more useful for you and to save me time. The detailed explanation is here, and the result is:
the new documentaries on TV schedule and guide 🎉
a reality TV premiere guide that is now more visual and easy to browse that literally hundreds of shows that debut every quarter 🤩
direct links to this week's documentaries and this week’s reality TV premieres
More reality TV news
The Circle season 3 has a premiere date
Reality Steve revealed the next Bachelor
Bachelor in Paradise’s promo revealed the identity of one man who gets engaged
NatGeo has three new reality shows coming, and there’s a key difference from their current shows
Some BB23 fans are really making their racism obvious
⭐️ I recommend
Some of these shows, which were once on Quibi but are now free on The Roku Channel. That includes Dishmantled, Gayme Show, Chrissy’s Court, and the revival of Singled Out.
This report about new Jeopardy! host Mike Richards
This interview with an Emmy-nominated editor on Real World: Homecoming, about how the season one came together
That’s everything for this week! Have a great weekend.
best,
Andy
🌄 This is Reality in Focus issue 256, first sent Aug. 20, 2021, and it can’t wait for this new Real World reunion, since season two was the first season it watched.
