Dear newsletter friends,

Another month, another week, another onslaught of emotionally challenging news. It’s a lot! Whenever I need a break, reality TV is there for me.

As usual, there’s a lot of reality TV!

Here’s everything that premiered this week, including new seasons RHOA, Naked and Afraid XL, The Circle, and The Chase, plus all the documentaries that aired on TV.

And here’s what I wrote about:

I reviewed

  • A new true-crime show that invites us to identify the liar(s)—and has some incredibly inventive visual imagery

  • Holey Moley season 4, which now has Muppets

Survivor

  • I recapped Survivor 42 episode 10, which was wonderful

  • I answered a question about Survivor’s Ponderosa web series, and discuss why it disappeared

  • I’m so excited about this! The Great American Baking Show is returning, but with some big changes

  • A new Jackass is coming thanks to "the success of Jackass Forever," Paramount Global's CEO said.

  • The new The Circle has two Spice Girls, Mel B and Emma Bunton, who are playing as "Jared." The Los Angeles Times talked to producers about that.

  • Amazon Freevee announced its order of three new reality shows, including a Play-Doh competition.

🤩 I recommend

  • This show, especially if you just need to laugh

  • Past seasons of this web series, which can be hard to find but are worth it

  • This website, if you or anyone you know or love needs it, now or in the future

Thanks for watching along with me, and reading my stuff this week. I hope you have a terrific weekend.

best,
Andy
