Big Brother’s ratings drop, but still not bad for CBS. The Saturday night recap ep of Big Brother had lower ratings than previous nights, but it still did well with a 2.5 share. Early ratings show it just edged out the last NBC airing of Freaks and Geeks, which is just wrong.
Moore: reality TV is “TV’s newest rage”. The AP’s Frazier Moore churns out a predictable column with two shocking revelations: reality TV is just the latest trend, and–hold your breath–it’s not really “reality.”
on Pulau Tiga, the body odor was like “hot garbage.” So says Ramona, and I’ll take her word on that. She and the rest of the booted talk to People about constipation, hate mail, hunger and odors. Plus, B.B. says he didn’t “have the energy to be phony” and still doesn’t know why washing his …
miss a show last week? Recaps from last week are live and drenched in sarcasm. Rock on. MTVixen Jill goes off on episode four of The Real World with her killer storytelling flair (Jamie made out with “a stray dog” and the Village People!); both MightyBigTV and Student.Com’s minute-by-minute wrap-ups are a bit more truthful …
Big Brother kicks ratings butt. Even though the first episode, like, sucked.
Richard sues the police.Survivor’s token naked gay guy is suing the Middletown, R.I., police for false arrest and for leaking the story of his arrest on child abuse charges to the media.
ding, dong, sit coms could be dead.Inside.com does the math, and the glut of reality TV and its low production costs doesn’t look good for sitcoms. And this is a problem?

I miss Bruce already. I liked the Top Gun montage. It was funny because those guys aren't "model types." I miss Kaleb too. Thanks for the recap!
@Jo, My wife and I are 76 year olds and I have watched it from the start. You are 100% right!! I watched the 2 hour finale by myself and the closer I got to the end the…
never too old to be an attention whore. 😂😂😂 This should be the show's tagline.
I'm so glad Natalia Speaks finally has an air date, thanks!
If people didn't love drama so much, this show wouldn't still be on the air. I have hated this show from day 1. It sickens me to see people hurt emotionally.
@AK, yeap that was a good one too, I also liked even the offshore basketball games or the jousts. Heck I would be happy watching the nut busting blindfold challenges again.. anything to under the repetitiveness. Heck remember…
@raph, I would read that! It would be a nice reminder of some of the variety that we used to get in challenges. I feel like I can't even remember anymore! It's all just stand and hold for…
“The other addition was letters from home, which caused everyone to start crying. They’ve been playing for 18 days. I’ve spent more time away from my husband on a Target run.“ This is a woefully telling comment of…
I quit watching after 3 or 4 episodes, and I do not regret it. I thought about watching the finale last night, but then DirecTV/Tegna blacked out my local ABC station. I read spoilers before it would have…
Does all of his crying somehow justify how badly he behaved and treated some of these women? Does it make him less of a jerk? I don't think so!!! He tries to turn things and make them about…
@HardyWeinberg, I am in 100% agreement. They should simply title every episode, since the ouster of Kellie - I'm Playing for 5th Place! Any of the non Reba players are delusional, including Emily, if they think they're going…
@Michael, my thought on getting Bruce out with his idol is that now that idol will go back into play. Emily is so bad at physical challenges, finding an idol is her only salvation as the game progresses.
Christmas came early! Thank you as always for your premiere guides.
This show is on auto-pilot. They don't even give the seasons subtitles any more. The creativity is gone. Once upon a time, this show had twists, different locales, and occasionally returnees. Now they are interchangeable and a drudge…

@Jeff Metzner, Agreed and without the live reunion, we'll get Probst's excuse or half-hearted apology on the podcast. From a more practical side, how many otherwise good applicants to the show are going to see that and nope…
