Yet another season with less and less shows I'm watching. Good news at least is that Amazing Race is given a regular airtime. Their first actual full season being filmed for various reasons in 3 years. Maybe 3 hours of regular shows (including commercials) over the course of the week. And others which I'm watching from time to time, or it just doesn't premiere until the winter.

In terms of summer shows, nothing stands out too much. Big Brother is back again, and they have The Challenge USA on CBS (most contestants are from Big Brother, Survivor, Amazing Race).

Every year it seems like theres less and less shows out there. That's good I guess. Less need to watch TV/more focus on sports.

Re: 2022-2023 TV Season

I'll give Quantum Leap a look, big fan of the original.
kinda wish Mr. Mayor had gotten at least another half season

The Challenge...the last episode was crazy, but still.. (major spoiler)

Spoiler

Kyland and Alyssa really holding onto that grudge against X.

Kylands had chances to apologize and move on from his actions and he doesn't seem like he wants to.

Alyssa still doesn't realize X never "turned on her" for personal reasons, it was literally part of a bigger plan/moment for the show. She would've been in the F2 if X played his own game and the cookout wasn't needed.

I cant believe that a team with David and that love Island person took out X and Shan! I really wanted to see what would've happened if they survived.

Nothing grabs me yet. I'll check some of it out. Last network show I got into was Prodigal Son on FOX, then went Amazon for The Expanse and HBO for Tokyo Vice.

Re: 2022-2023 TV Season

Killer Camp is back! Season 3 debuted friday night

it's one of the lowest rated shows of all time, but I like it anyway, it's basically a mock reality competition show, with actual competitions and immunity challenges and stuff, showmances, and murders, what's not to love?


edit: correction, it's not season 3, it's the continuation of season 2


extra edit: now I'm reading it is a new season, but when I watched there was so much already established it felt like the continuation explanation made sense, so, who knows, I'm the only one who watches anyway lol

Tyson is overplaying again, but also Sarah went a little crazy, so it might work out for him

He's getting the "winners edit", but it always feels like when someone is that overwhelmingly the fave, they dont win.

Tyson and Angela are the main people left that i want to win. But I'd be ok with Dom, Danny and maybe Cayla winning.

Going to be kind of weird to see a new Jonathan Kent.

The series picks up 15 years after the 1980 movie of the same name so presumably it will be set in 1995 (most likely Los Angeles). The film was decent but this trailer doesn't get my hopes up for the series. Starts September 9th.

Animal Kingdom Series Finale:

Spoiler

No imagination, let's just kill a couple of key characters off because that's what we're suppose to do. A spectacular ending might require some thought and we want to show our fans that crime doesn't pay. Totally dreadful. Did the "powers that be" have time constraints on getting this out? It felt like the last few minutes were rushed and they were too lazy to tie all that tragedy together so they didn't bother. What a mess.

On a 1-100 scale a solid "4".

Re: 2022-2023 TV Season

The Challenge season finale was just....

Spoiler

A major letdown.

I've never seen a season before, so I don't know how it's done, but surely 10 people in the final and 5 of them quitting, 1 taken out before it begun due to injury, 1 of them forced to quit because of the duo rule, and the other being forced to quit because of a rule they never warned her about, that has to be an embarrassment.

And then how does Sarah who seemingly was at that puzzle until everyone else quit or finished still allowed to continue? She took ages to do the puzzle, but somehow did Sudoku in the snow just fine?

Angela being forced to quit because she found a loophole? She did a duo challenge solo (yes, all women had to take turns, but hers was the hardest to do solo). And wasn't one of the rules "your partner can sleep while you work"? So she slept. She had no partner, but that should've counted as a timed out last place finish. If she was going to be DQed, shouldn't they have told her if she doesn't continue she's out?

Everyone quitting was just a joke. Felt like a slap in the face of those who watched the entire season.

Don't get me wrong, I loved seeing Danny win (Tyson was the best player all season). Kiki will love that because Danny was doing it all season for Kiki and now Kiki knows that Danny going on and on about Kiki was worth it.

strong disagree, I loved the final, Angela got DQ'd because she quit, she wasn't gaming the system, she quit, she thought she could pretend to not quit by sleeping the comp away, but no, she quit, I have zero qualms with TJ DQing her. Danny beating Tyson was awesome. I like Tyson, but I love Danny, the way it was presented with Tyson acting like this will be child's play for him, only to have him tap out just like everyone else, was great cinema. Sarah didn't give up, she thought she was gonna lose, her whole point was to just finish it, even though she figured she was in last place, she didn't give up, so getting to the end and realizing everyone else gave up except her and Danny, that was pretty cool.

Did feel bad for Desi, though, Enzo gave up so fast, idunno if he legit felt he was drowning, but damn, it looked like she wanted to help and he was like nope I'm done


edit: it goes to show how difficult the Challenge final actually is and the CBS show regulars weren't prepared for it

The big question is whether she was told if she would be dqed for not doing it.

The rule did state a partner was allowed to rest while one works. She had no partner, so did that mean she would've had to do it with no rest when everyone else was allowed to rest?

I get it's hard, but it felt exciting watching each checkpoint and updated standings, almost like you're watching a decathlon, just for none of that to matter and everyone basically dropped out.

Players weren't given enough gear either. What did they have, cloth mittens to go through rain and snow? They looked real underdressed given the circumstances.

Maybe it's like that on other seasons, I haven't seen any, but I don't like that the weather is the sole reason for those quits. Guess I'm too used to shows like Amazing Race where you just do a challenge no matter how long it takes, but if you don't do it, you just get a penalty.

I do hope there's another season like this. They did something only The Amazing Race ever tried, and that was a season with only players from the CBS reality shows. I'd love seeing Tyson on Big Brother in a Survivor players season, or Angela and Tyler doing Amazing Race.


Edit-Tyson really going after production. He said that only Dom/Sarah finished the challenge that Angela got DQed on. Everyone else technically timed out since production shut down the comp.

I've only watched the last handful of Challenge seasons, but it seems like TJ calls the shots and that's why he refers to it as "my" final, so it's possible no one could give Angela the heads up that she HAD to play if he wasn't there. I do agree if she had been tipped off it would've been more fair, but in that instance, not sure if you have the option or not, probly would've been better to play. From what I've seen, TJ hates when people don't try


I really wish they would've had Kaycee and Fessy on, but since they're Challenge vets, I get it, but man, Kaycee is pretty much my favorite reality competitor ever, and Fessy was wrecking even his own friends in a hall brawl. I'm rambling again, excited to see what happens with Danny and Sarah in this Challenge tournament thing
