Dear newsletter subscribers,

It's not summer without fun summer shows, and the king of those returns this week: Holey Moley, which has the ridiculous season-three title of Holey Moley 3D in 2D (ABC, Thursdays at 8, then Thursadys at 9). Later this week, look for my behind-the-scenes story about this season, and what's changed (new holes!) and what has not (people bouncing off things alongside legitimate mini-golf competition).

To my mind, there's no better reality competition on TV right now than Top Chef Portland. This week, two Top Chef alum who are not on this season (thankfully) get their own show: Bryan and Michael Voltaggio's Battle of the Brothers (Discovery+, Thursday) has the brothers leading teams of contestants who will be competing in "a culinary gauntlet."

ABC's retro game shows add The Celebrity Dating Game (ABC, Mondays at 10), hosted by Zooey Deschanel and Michael Bolton, with celebrities picking a "lucky suitor" from an unseen panel. Among the celebrities are Iggy Azalea, Hannah Brown, Carson Kressley, and Nicole Byer. Speaking of televised relationships: TLC is premiering a show about five couples, each of which has an ex hanging around: You, Me & My Ex (TLC, Sundays at 10 starting June 20).
