Traitors!🤩 • Milf Manor's 🤢 twist • Shark Tank's curious guest • prison and other reality TV news
Dear newsletter friends,
I just returned from 11 days in L.A. at the Television Critics Association's winter press tour—our first time in person in three years.
It was wonderful to be back, and even better to be conducting interviews and asking questions during press conferences, all of which will find its way into reality blurred stories and coverage over the next six months.
I've already published one story: this interview with a truly bad-ass reality TV star and reporter, who is much braver than I am.
The Traitors
I recapped:
The Traitors episodes 1 to 5, with spoilers!
Recaps of episodes 6 to 10 will come this weekend
If you're not already absorbed by The Traitors, here's:
Reality TV news
In December, I told you about Netflix's forthcoming version of Love Island, which is called Perfect Match; this week, Netflix announced the show and its cast of all Netflix reality stars.
My new round-up of 17 reality TV news and must-read stories includes:
Russell Hantz accused of scamming
Prison for the Chrisleys and Jen Shah
Andy Cohen defending himself
a behind-the-scenes look at Netflix's reality TV team meeting
This week's reality TV
Milf Manor premiered this week, with the twist everyone expected. But its first challenge? 🤢🤢🤢
DoorDash's CEO was on Shark Tank, even though his company has hurt small businesses.
Here are the:
reality TV shows that premiered this week, including Are You the One? and, tonight, MTV's new gay Housewives-ish show
specials and docs on TV, including a documentary about Amber: The Girl Behind the Alert, and a TV bio of Zora Neale Hurston
🤩 I recommend
This show, for its behind-the-headlines insight
Still this show, which I hope you have started watching!
Okay, after 11 days of press conferences and writing all of this, I need a nap! Have a great weekend.
best,
Andy
