No one can deny that JoJo Siwa has already racked up many achievements. After departing Dance Moms, JoJo wrote her memoir at just 14 years old, along with three other books. Wow! Season 30 of Dancing with the Stars presented some curveballs for the contestants. Pro dancer Cheryl Burke likened the season to Survivor. JoJo

Following an incredibly intense, important and powerful Tribal Council last week, the eight remaining players heading into this week’s episode of Survivor were reminded of just how close they are to the end of this game. Three players received some much needed food and a good night’s sleep, but they also received a bit of
Early Survivor fan-favorite Maryanne Oketch showed up at this week’s Immunity Challenge a bit disappointed. When she was able to get her first look at the other tribes, Maryanne noticed that her secret crush, Zach Wurtenberger, was not there, having been voted out last week. Jeff Probst teased her a bit, and Maryanne gave us
G’Day Mates! The new spinoff of Bravo’s Below Deck is almost here, and I for one couldn’t be more excited. Entitled Below Deck Down Under, it’s set in the Great Barrier Reef and Whitsunday Islands- both off Australia’s coastline. Which, if you think about it, totally makes sense. Afterall, how many stews and deckhands have
Formerly known as The Real World Road Rules Challenge, rebranded The Challenge now draws players from all different reality walks of life. Considering Road Rules has long been disbanded, and The Real World is enjoying success placing original cast members back together, this is probably a good thing. And perhaps the only way to find
Season 30 of Dancing with the Stars had it all. The casting of influencer Olivia Jade provided some controversy. Her parents, actress Lori Loughlin and designer Mossimo Giannulli, both served time in jail for their roles in the college admissions bribery scandal. Olivia claimed that her experience taught her that “hard work really does pay
Sometime the game isn’t just a game…it becomes something bigger. While this is a Survivor recap, if you’ve been reading this column at all this season, you know that there have been more than a few mentions and comparisons to another CBS reality competition show, Big Brother, specifically its past season, Big Brother 23. The
Ever since they stopped running “recap” highlight shows each year, the Thanksgiving Eve episode of Survivor usually has delivered the goods. This year was no different, and we were once again given one of the best episodes of the entire season. It leaned heavily into what makes Survivor so great: Inter-personal relationships and internal struggles
Dancing with the Stars pro Artem Chigvintsev was a fixture on the series for many seasons without coming close to clinching the mirror ball. According to Entertainment Tonight, during season 29, Artem was paired with The Bachelorette star Kaitlyn Bristowe. This dynamic duo took home the glittering mirror ball. And being on DWTS was a
Season 30 of Dancing with the Stars has been exciting, and unpredictable. Pro Cheryl Burke commented that this season was like Survivor. DWTS pro Jenna Johnson was paired with pop singer Jojo Siwa as the first same-sex partners in the show’s history. They are just killing every single routine. When influencer Olivia Jade was cast on
Season 30 of Dancing with the Stars has been full of drama, and some unforgettable performances. Real Housewives of Atlanta star Kenya Moore was eliminated during the Halloween show. At least Twirl had the chance to live out her life-long dream of competing in the ballroom. The Bachelor star Matt James competed this season with
Season 30 of Dancing with the Stars has been wild. Longtime dance pro Cheryl Burke even likened this season to being on Survivor–only with food and water. And with lots of sequins and sparkles. I’m sure that social media influencer Olivia Jade can relate to that sentiment. When she was cast on DWTS, there was
If you think about it, plans on Survivor – more often than not – go awry. There can only be one Sole Survivor, and as much fun as it is to watch a winner’s run and look back at all of the key moments along the way, the fun of the show is in the
Say what you will about Season 41 of Survivor, but I think this week’s episode has solidified something important: This is truly one of the best all-around casts in quite some time. Technically it was a “part two” episode after last week’s anticlimactic dud, but just when we think we might give up on Survivor,
Dancing with the Stars is having an eventful season. Pro dancer Cheryl Burke has compared Season 30 to Survivor. She also called out the judges and said they “should cool it a little bit.” Cheryl and her partner, Peloton instructor Cody Rigsby, were both diagnosed with Covid-19. One week they had to perform remotely from
Dancing with the Stars pro Cheryl Burke has a long history of involvement with reality television. She started as a pro dancer in Season 2 of DWTS. She has taken home the coveted mirror ball trophy twice. She won the competition once with Drew Lachey and again with Emmett Smith. In 2017, Cheryl stepped in
Naomie Olindo split from Southern Charm during the show’s mass exodus prior to Season 8, and right after her messy split from Craig Conover. She had a new man, Metul Shah, and was moving on from her life with Craig (sewing) down South. However, her honeymoon stage didn’t last long after the cameras stopped rolling.
In general, reality TV has really come through during the last shit show of a year. Off camera, especially! I’m talking about the Porsha Williams and Simon Guobadia engagement news. The announcement of Survivor’s return. And of course, Erika Jayne’s divorce and litigation drop. Then there’s the TV we’ve already gotten to watch. Let’s start with the double season drop
There can only be one winner, even on a season full of them. “Survivor: Winners at War” came to an explosive close on Wednesday, and a winner was indeed crowned. The chaotic, overly aggressive, super-strategist, known for building Spy Shacks, Bunkers and Nests on the island, Tony Vlachos became the Sole Survivor of Season 40
No season of Survivor would be complete if we didn’t compile the all-time list of winners each season…especially following a season full of all winners! With 40 seasons now in the rear-view, we just witnessed Tony Vlachos becoming the latest person to win Survivor and becoming the game’s second-ever TWO-TIME winner…but where does this specific season win
It’s hard to believe that we have just one more episode left of Survivor, with no more (for the time being) loaded in the chamber. “Survivor: Winners at War,” the monumental 40th season of the greatest Reality TV Show of all-time, gave us a two-hour penultimate episode tonight, with a massive three-hour Finale and Reunion
If you love Tony Vlachos like me, then tonight was about as good as it gets when it comes to Survivor. From the first moment until the last, this was a Tony-centric episode through and through, culminating in yet another absolutely epic blindside at Tribal Council. They even managed to fit in a Survivor fashion
Tonight was the episode of Survivor that we needed. It was a “loved ones” visit like the show has never seen, followed by a Tribal Council that when the smoke clears may land in the Top 10 Tribal Councils of all-time. It ended with a “secret scene,” unscripted (not that any of this is scripted,
Somebody famous once said, “You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.” On tonight’s wild episode of Survivor: Winners At War, several players took some big shots, risking their games in the process, because really, why not? You win, or you lose, right? In the end, it really is that black-and-white. Sometimes, it just
The merge episode of Survivor is always one of the best episodes of every season, and this one lived up to the hype. I’ve been soooooo looking forward to this particular episode ever since the them of Season 40 was announced, as it also featured The Edge of Extinction Return Challenge where one of the
So how’s everybody doing? Here’s hoping everybody is safe and optimistic during these uncertain times. As for me? Well, I’m great if you consider that – so far at least – My family and myself have managed to stay healthy and we’re all just hanging in there. But ask me how I’m doing when it
It seems sort of odd focusing on, obsessing over and arguing about a Reality TV show on a day like today. This coronavirus news and how it’s impacting our lives, our country, our world is simply overwhelming and forces us to keep our emotions in perspective…and as we learned just hours ago (first reported by
Every single week on Survivor: Winners At War, it feels like a championship heavyweight fight. Well of course it does…this season features nothing but champions, and each week’s vote-out feels like a knock-out punch. As excited as I am to watch this season each and every week to see some of the best-of-the-best play the
What started as an All-Star, all-winners season of Survivor has morphed into something even much more fascinating through three episodes. “Survivor: Winners At War” could have easily been called “Survivor: Old School vs. New School,” as much of what we has witnessed thus far seems to focus on the power struggle between those that have
What an absolute dream come true. After 20 years on the air, and now into its 40th (!!!) Season, Survivor is back and is as good as ever. The nightmarish ugliness of Season 39 is but a distant memory, and all signs point to this season, “Survivor: Winners at War,” as being one of the
