Favorite All-Time Survivor Players!

                 Survivor is still one of my favourite shows to watch and still is for many of us. 43 seasons in and I thought I'd do an updated version of my favourite Survivors of all time. I have decided to split it top 10 women and top 10 men so here it is and I am not going to explain everything, it'd be a long post. I will explain a couple at the end:

Men:                                                           Women:

1. Rob Mariano                                               Sandra

2. Tyson                                                          Amber (Rob's wife)

3.  Ethan                                                         Parvati

4.  Rupert                                                        Cire

Forgot To Add One More Thing!

                   As you guys know I was talking a bit about The CBOTW Show and how not as involved I am with that podcast as I am taking a more of a "behind the scenes" role with that podcast as you guys know, I have "Entertainment Man Podcast" and "Power Rangers Podcast on The CBOTW Show." There is one other thing with Amy's Survivor Recaps that she will be doing on and off when shes not currently covering the newer seasons. I will be popping on seasons of Survivor as I have hand picked certain seasons that I wanna come on for the entire season she covers to talk about the particular season that I chose and I have 6 picked out for right now and if I wanna do others, I will. 

                  I also will be popping up during the new seasons of Survivor so you guys will be seeing me from time to time.  So I will be involved with some podcasts not all of them but my focus is on Entertainment Man Podcast and Power Rangers Podcast (within The CBOTW Show) Yeah at some point I will run out of ideas but this will be years down the road with the way things are going with the interest of interviews has made the podcast seem endless and it is a good thing not a bad thing. It makes me so excited to see people interested in the podcast to be quite honest and it is definitely here to stay for the long run. Also I can add this that I really enjoy the podcast and am having fun with the podcast and am looking forward to episosdes in the future. I wanna finally add in to this post if Entertainment Man Podcast ever ends, yes I'd consider going back to The CBOTW Show on a more full time and I'd consider doing shows but that is much much later, not right now at this moment.  Anyways that is my post for today, thanks for reading and I will talk to you all tomorrow!

Favorite Moment's On Big Brother Canada?

               I know I probably have done a post about this topic or a podcast about this in the past but I thought it was time for an updated version and decided inside of a podcast to do it blog version and maybe this could be a thing especially during the seasons perhaps. Anyways here is some of the top moments in the series:

1) Talla's Maze Meltdown: Her infamous 191999 Maze meltdown continues to be the top of my list since the show's inception in 2013, just about 10 years ago.

2) Brother's Self Nominate: After Cass pulls Tim off the block, Brother's tried to nominate themselves which definitely would of been interesting if they were on the block and were evicted. Question is if they were evicted would it been of been one vote if they were in jury together?

3) Ika Shredding Letters: Still up there in my list and still on my list as one of the top moments but there is no real order for the picks to be honest.

4) Karen Roasting Sindy: Karen's roast on Sindy with an S was classic and one of my top moments in Season 5 with her saying Sindy, that sucked with an "S." It was quite a memorable moment. 

5) Wedding The Chapel of Have Nots: The houseguests get a chance to close down the have not room as long as Joel and the late Nikki Grahame (R.I.P. Nikki 😢) get married and the moment Marsha called Nikki the crazy lady got me laughing pretty hard!

                I probably forgot some of these moments and some already been on the list but let's just say this is a continuation of the list perhaps. Anyways that is my post for today and Monday I have an announcement towards all this craziness with equipment breaking down, there is a light at the end of the tunnel but for now have a great weekend!

I'm Adding A Second Collab Podcast Series To My List!

             The title above does not lie. Both myself and Jasmine have come to an agreement and I wish we kept things the way they were with us just doing a Big Brother Collaboration Podcast that is ONLY EXCLUSIVE to the website. It would of made things less complicated. The other thing we are doing is non Recap wise, we are taking the Post Evictions which mind you it was popular over the Recaps and tells me nobody really cared about the Recaps so what we are doing and should of done along with the Big Brother Canada 9 Season was just the post eviction chats once a week this probably lower our stress levels completely. So this brings me into our return to Big Brother Reality TV World. I know I was supposedly retired from Reality TV World but decided to continue on with this with a fresh start. So this weekend at some point, do not know when technically  either tomorrow or Sunday, you guys will be getting a Post Big Brother Canada 9 Podcast at some point this weekend and very excited for this. This does mean we will be covering Big Brother 23 this summer and we will be only focusing on Post Eviction Chats where we talk about the game and the game moving forward. Now we will be doing Picks updates like we did with BBCAN9 but will be only updating every 2nd week which will look like this:

Week # 1: Post Eviction Chat

Week # 2: Post Eviction Chat W/ Draft Updates

                We are keeping things simple and easy this time around, now I do not have any information on Pre BB23 at this moment as we just finished up Big Brother Canada 9 as of last night and we are in the process of improving the draft so we do not have a ton of minus in the picks. Anyways a ton of work to do before we start and try this again for the 3rd time. Third time is a charm right? I hope things are going to be fine this time around. We almost made it to the end of BBCAN9 Season but came up short by 3 weeks. Anymore info I will keep you guys up to date but for right now, Matt has added the Big Brother Collab Podcast Page and added it to the list along with the return of our Archives. There is more I wanna say but you will have to wait till Monday unfortunately. Have a great weekend and Happy Mother's Day to all the mom's out there including my own as well.

Do We Know When Big Brother Australia Will Air and What About The Recaps?

               Big Brother Australia what we know of as of right now is one houseguest has been announced at this point. That is all we know at this point and I follow BBAU on majority of the Socials and have not seen anything so that is why we have been very silent and been working on things behind the scenes to get Chris S ready to start his amazing Recaps. Jasmine and I are speculating if there was an March airing that they would of already released the entire cast at this point so we are speculating maybe May towards when Jasmine and I Big Brother Canada 9 Recap coverage wraps up for the season and that could be when it airs as my Senior Producer & Co-Host stated that they have released a Houseguest everyday and this season what I have heard there is 26 houseguests this season which is a lot to be honest and not sure if this is true or false as this seems to be too many in my honest opinion. However it will be interesting if this is actually true and this will be the first season I have watched of the Australian Big Brother and I excited to see what it is like as I know it is different in different areas of the game.

                So as for the Recaps, we cannot say when but we are constantly keeping an eye out on social media if we hear anything else and when Chris S get close to a Cast Assessment we will announce when we post it up for you guys and I am sure we are getting close as I said there has been movement and just excited for this brand new opportunity especially for our Audio ONLY Podcast Network and this is just the beginning as we have other big ideas coming to our network and excited to eventually tell you guys what we have planned. That is my update with Big Brother Australia as there has been questions about the Recaps and that is all we can tell you at this time and we won't address it anymore till we get closer to the season beginning.

Survivor 41 Greenlit!-- What Do We Know So Far?

                There has been rumors that Survivor Production has been greenlit to go to Fiji and film Season 41 of Survivor. There is nothing from CBS or Survivor or Jeff's Twitter about this rumor if it is true but there is an article stating in the coming days, crew will be heading to Fiji to start building sets or prepping for the upcoming season of Survivor. Could this mean possibly that it could air in the fall and we go back into the old schedule we had before the show was put onto Hiatus last year due to this pandemic. That is really all we know and the article you can Google Survivor Green Lit to Return to Filming or https://insidesurvivor.com/survivor-crew-returning-to-fiji-shooting-to-begin-soon-48630. I hope this rumor is true and I believe it is true and I already knew they were aiming for taping the new season in March or April of this year so they are right on schedule as they said which is great! This is great for ChrisBOnTheWeb's Podcast The CBOTW Show.

               I am excited to see things get back to a sort of normal schedule with Survivor as I've missed Survivor, I can be honest with you. It has been quite odd the fact that we do not currently have a season right now and it will be nice when it does come back on the air. We do not know a lot of information right now as CBS hasn't said anything in particular but least there is something in the way of news. They do have to have all the gear ready for challenges especially and they also have to start building the Tribal Council within the Island so it will take a few weeks to do that. However I hope to get some news again soon and we can  give you dates when Billy is going to be starting out with his RECAPS but I am guessing and speculating that it would air this fall for Season 41. That is what I have to say about Survivor returning to filming and I cannot wait for it to return! I truly miss Jeff saying: "You wanna know watcha playing for?" and "The Tribe Has Spoken."

Thoughts On This Season of Big Brother 22 So Far!

              So we're through 2 episodes of Big Brother 22 and yes I know what your gonna say, aren't you retired from Reality TV Talk in general? Not blog wise, more Reality TV wise but do not get use to this as this will not be happening a lot. Just a post in general I wanted to make and the next one probably won't be till the day after Finale which we are a very long way from right now as we are only week 2 of 13 however I highly doubt I will do a post as I am currently in my post Reality TV. Anyways I like the way they went into a pod of 4 and a comp to see which two are going to be competing for HOH (Head of Household) anyways the way they brought them down one by one in their pod of 4 and Julie really had some sass threatening eviction and she had to quite the "Come On Down" like on The Price is Right.  Side of Julie I have never seen before but it was quite entertaining to be honest. So we know Cody is HOH and Kevin and Keesha are up. Hearing things about Keesha is going to be going but never know as we still have Veto to watch tomorrow and I know more then you think but that is not for me to spoil whatsoever. 


                I am enjoying this season but still early to tell and to be honest, I do not have any favorites to be honest with you guys. It will take me sometime to decide to who I like but I got a couple in my mind: Cody, Kaysar, Memphis, Enzo, Nicole A, Dani, Keesha, Janelle. Maybe I can take these and actually have em as my actual picks? Maybe, give me a few days to think on it and I know I haven't paid attention to the feeds, actually cannot wait since I am up here in Canada technically but I watch updates from Rob Has A Podcast, Matt and Jess Carter, Madrosed, etc so I do get updates once or a few times a days so I have a long of sources to get updates what is going on with the feeds as well. Anyways I looking forward to the veto and what is next and you never know, maybe I can do these for a weekly thing? I know I said I wasn't really going to but as I got further into the post maybe this is something I can do or we could ask an old Staff of ours, Reality Teas to talk about it on Saturdays? Stay tuned for more information on Social Media!

Start Of My Reality TV Chatter in 2013 (Throwback Thursday)

                This started back in 2013 when I was still a YouTuber, this was before the Reality TV era and when I knew Larry who's now my Senior Producer who really needs to be promoted to EP (Executive Producer) as well as he's done so much for me over the years and deserves a more of a promotion as he's helped me start this entire journey nearly 5 years ago. Anyways I was just tweeting about Reality TV, Survivor, Big Brother, Big Brother Canada as most of you know that is when BBCAN came out and actually when I met a lot of you and big shoutout to Alyssa on Twitter who I've been friends and she's been a loyal follower of ChrisBOnTheWeb even before the name came to be... LOL.. I met Sean from Sensibly Cynical Podcast I think last year but really do not remember. Getting old over here, slowly hitting 35... smh! Anyways I connected with so many of you, Dusty, Reality Teas (Chris) who is actually on my Staff right now for Big Brother USA! The list is large I cannot name everyone as we've got like 3200 + followers unless that's gone down recently as it fluctuates on a daily basis.  Either way without the Amazing Race, Big Brother, Big Brother Canada, Tough As Nails, The Simpsons, Power Rangers And Survivor fans, we wouldn't be doing what we're doing to this day. We have become a big success because of you guys continuously supporting us through all the ups and downs we have, the laughs and the tears. 


                  I am so happy I met you all and made so many great friends over the years and I cannot thank you all enough. 2013 is a long time ago, 7 years to be exact and I am glad I built a bit of a following in that department before this journey began in February 2015 with the trial runs of talking Reality TV before Everything About Reality TV became a thing and then to go on to merge with the now The CBOTW Show.  I remember when I started to tweet about Reality TV I wasn't getting many hits and with me tweeting about Tough As Nails, I've gotten likes from the Executive Producers and host of Tough As Nails which really surprised me actually. Not just that but connecting with one of my favorite Big Brother Alumni, Talla from Season 1. I remember being on her stream I happen to blurt out the numbers 191999 LOL and she said I saw that! Haha. Her reaction was priceless.  I've connected with other Reality Stars some from Survivor, Amazing Race, Amazing Race Canada. None from Big Brother US yet but never know it could happen. What I am trying to say is without any of the love and support this would of probably gone away.very fast and here we are almost 5 years in still going strong, maybe even stronger then we were before.  That is my throwback story and I had to tell and we've built such a strong amazing community and let's continue to build this community for years to come!

Big Brother Canada Is RETURNING for a Season 9!

                 For certain reasons, Chris is unavailable right now to make this post but he sends his apologies as he is spending time with his Fam right now which is very important to him. As I sit here writing a post for you guys, I am excited for Chris, Reality Teas & Larry and the rest of the Production Team that puts on The CBOTW Show on a weekly basis, depending on the shows currently on air. However as you all know is that Chris and the rest of the team have been struggling with the podcasting world as shows have been on hold of not as many shows on the air right now but today changes everything for not just us but the entire fan base. The title doesn't lie that Big Brother Canada is returning for a 9th Season. We found out back last month that the show was put on Hold till we know further with the pandemic as you all know but I guess with the news of us going into Stage 3 of re-opening things. Also Arisa Cox has been promoted as Executive Producer which I have to say is well deserved! She will have a part in casting for the show and also the basic storyline within the house.


                So we are very excited for this news and look forward to the next season of Big Brother Canada. I know Chris really wants to make it up to Larry for no Big Brother Canada Finale this year and he wants to make it up to him. So this is indeed good news and just have to wait to see if their is casting for this season or if they will end up doing All-Stars next season to the pandemic, however it could have online auditions and no open casting calls to cover up the fact that they are doing all stars like they did with the US All-Stars. Will they use the same house design or will they redesign the house again? I would keep it the same as it would save money for production and it was only 4 weeks in the season so they can use the challenges that were not used as they were forced to shutdown production early this year. However we will have to wait and see what they have stored for the 9th season of Big Brother Canada. What are your thoughts on this season? Let us know in the comments below!

Big Brother 22 Speculations...

              There has been a ton of speculations from Dan coming on this season which he's now disappeared from Twitter and hasn't posted anything up on his Twitter and his Twitch Shows stopped this week where he isn't streaming at all right now. Even his Twitter and Instagram there has been one post to re run shows during the week and an announcement Sunday at 3 pm EST and I just got that funny feeling he's going to be on this season of Big Brother a d I wish I was on to recap it but that isn't my domain now as Chris (Reality Teas) has taken over the podcast. Anyways I read another post stating from Cody from BB19 saying it will not air this summer that we are not going to see a season of Big Brother but we will see. So far we have heard rumors of it being an All-Stars Season and sounds like it is going to to be just that as maybe they haven' gotten enough interesting people for an entire new cast but I just do not know what to believe anymore.  Maybe they had auditions to cover the fact that this season was an All-Stars. I've spoken to a bunch of you through Facebook groups, Twitter, etc and you guys did mention that they had auditions to cover up for Season 7 being an All-Stars season.  Back to the Dan situation, yes he's not streaming on Twitch, however he's still got videos scheduled to go up everyday so maybe that's a cover up? 


                Again, I just do not know what to expect what this season is to bring us and if it isn't true or not if it will happen. They still sound very hopefully on this season of Big Brother will happen. I know some Alum have hinted that they are on this season and just by going to their socials and seeing if they've tweeted or posting up a picture or not is a pretty good hint that they are going to be on this season. We will find out and they may just as well be in sequester at this current time to play the game once again. However I do not want them to end the production of this season of Big Brother early like they did up here in Canada for BBCAN and just worried it will happen again.  We will see hopefully soon if these speculations are true or not but again it will be the matter of time and hopefully in the next week or so we will find out whether all these speculations are true. Honestly I do not wanna jump to conclusions if this is really going to happen or not because I am pretty positive it will and they will make the necessary precautions and rules during this pandemic. Finally it is good to be back to blogging and I will talk to you guys tomorrow and oh Happy Canada Day to all the fellow Canadians out there!

5 Years Ago Yesterday, Larry and I Had Our First Big Brother Canada Finale! (Throwback Thursday Story)

                  5 years ago today, Larry and I started this annual Big Brother Canada Finales and I believe we started in the early years, Season 3 which is like 5 years ago. Mind you when we started doing those, Everything About Reality TV was in preliminary stages and under a complete different name and what not! Everything About Reality TV was 4 months later when it existed so we weren't doing Finale Recaps till Season 4 the following year when we were still on YouTube. So we had no pressure whatsoever especially after. Non of that was in existence yet! So we got to sit back and relax and enjoy the finale. Now 2016 and on that was when he came over for them then that was a lot of fun recaps and honestly we can admit not just the finale itself we enjoyed but the Finale chat podcasts that we did which is a tradition now each and every year minus this year as there was no finale due to essential services were only and Big Brother Canada was forced to end production so this was the first time in 5 years we did not get together but this would of been our 5th year but either way we're still considering this our 5th year even without a Finale. 


                 I remember one Finale we got ourselves Ketchup Doritos which I haven't really seen around the store or we made popcorn at the house. I remember one year he was snoring so damn loud I smacked him with my pillow LOL! Oh the memories honestly! I know he missed coming over for it this year but hopefully next year we can make this happen again and get back to it. I know you guys missed him on a podcast this year but he is going to be on a Podcast sooner then you know it! Few weeks time you will be hearing his voice whether we will be live or just recorded but we are making it up to you guys for this year. Don't worry I'm sure there will be more Finales and I am sure the show will be returning in 2021 as I've read up they are planning a 9th season. It was just unfortunate this happened this year but it is what it is and production made the right choice.

When Do I Think The Amazing Race 32 Will Air?

              This clicked into the back of my mind and even had a conversation to one of my followers on Twitter and they said I might be right. So in today's post we will be talking about "when do I think The Amazing Race 32 will air." I was thinking about it in the past week since they made the announcement and honestly I was really upset about it when it first came out but then I started to think about it more and more and I came to a conclusion: I was thinking Survivor more then likely if it does't air and not saying it won't but I am going by the facts which are Survivor filming is on hold till further notice or till they tell us when filming begins and right now they do not want to take a risk honestly as some of their crew is from different parts of the country and could of gotten the virus so I can see why they want to hold it off. I could make the argument that they could test them etc but I know and realize it is better safe then sorry to just postpone for now. Now to the main reason behind this post today, The Amazing Race has been put on hold till later this year and that kind of gave me the idea, well not idea but the fact that they could possibly actually put The Amazing Race in the Fall. Which makes total sense if there is indeed no Survivor this fall, this could make a possible sense. I know what you're going to say you know The Amazing Race is Audio ONLY, and I do realize that.  However we do what we can to bring content and it is unfortunate this is actually happened but it is what it is. 


            I am all for The Amazing Race 32 this fall if this indeed is the plan they got for it and we will have to wait and see but least it won't be a too long of a hiatus but we got some other plans in the works for between the regular seasons and announcement for that is coming. I'm not 100% sure on this though but it is just food for thought really. You never know this could be a true but when else would they air it? Summer? That is another one that could definitely be a great possibility really. There  is so many different possibilities really to when this is going to air.  Could be a month down the road later as maybe no Big Brother 22 as there hasn't been an announcement yet could be a variety of different ideas that could be a factor in when the show is on the air. All we know we are waiting on the news and just gotta keep being patient during this really. We will find out in due time what the plan is and I honestly getting eager to watch it honestly.

When Could Amazing Race 32 Air?

            So the question is when will Amazing Race 32 air? I know I have not mentioned anything before my podcast obviously went on it's hiatus for weeks on end with no news. However with Big Brother Canada finished early due to this virus, like Eric told me this could be a good time but if you put it against Survivor might be hard in the ratings as it is competing but only my opinion honestly. Now we know this for a fact that they have been filming season 33 and with the recent situation in the world they had to stop and totally understandable as we gotta stay safe. My thoughts for 32 however is if there is Big Brother 22 and Amazing Race Canada, Everything About Reality TV may be on a summer hiatus but willing they will if they can get things under control with this soon I hope. However my point is if they have to CBS can definitely air Amazing Race 32 then and after reading articles some other shows are on hiatus due to the situation with the virus in the world.  However no real date as of yet and starting to make me wonder what is going to be happening with the show. Also according to this Reddit Post it could be also on be on the shelf in case of a writers strike for scripted shows such as NCIS, Law and Order for example. 


              Time will tell and looks grim for my podcast but there has been episodes I have done months ago back in January that I happened to erase but not lost and I can do off season stuff between and bring on Larry for an episode and even Billy on. One way or another there will be content while we wait for Amazing Race 32 especially. The final thing I would like to say is that Amazing Race 32 is and has been filmed almost a year a half ago which was taped finished in December 2018 to be exact. Either way I will as always keep you guys in the loop as we progress on with the weeks and see when they air it. One last thing on my list they told us mid season 2019 - 2020 and it is now getting into the late season and shows slowly ending and we still haven't gotten word when Amazing Race 32 so something is truly up but we'll have to wait and see honestly it is a tough time for the industry and just gotta try and keep ourselves busy while we wait.

Everything About Reality TV Podcast Has Returned AGAIN!

              Everything About Reality TV has returned. I am just so confused what I want to do and just not happy as a podcaster with anything that I have been doing. Now I am however am happy with Everything About Reality TV returning and more then happy, estatic, excited and working hard to catch up. However, I just feel like my time with Stitcher has come to an end. I am just tired of putting the podcast back and forth and making the staff there work extra hard. So I am thinking of pulling the podcast from their platform entirely. However there is still 18 different networks the podcast on and that's OK. I'm sure there will be other platforms it will be on. I am looking forward to recording and editing the podcast and my only worry is Larry. He's the one person as he's against me bringing this back and yes I'm talking about the Co-Founder of Everything About Reality TV but I know he respects my decision which is a good thing. Larry's got a lot a say and yes I realize this podcast is a lot of work. Well Power Rangers Podcast is too! Either way I have a ton of time right now and can work on both.   I know there is a ton of questions regards to this current season. Yes I am playing catch up with Survivor and I know I've watched the show already but re-watching it all which also goes for Big Brother Canada so over the next several days, I will be editing and posting up and no formal post that a new podcast is up till we get to Big Brother Canada. This will be how the recaps to catch up will look like and I know it is unprecedented to double up but only way to catch up so it will look like this:

EP # 248- Survivor Winners At War EP # 1 & 2
EP # 249- Survivor Winners At War EP # 3 & 4
EP # 250- Survivor Winners At War EP # 5 & 6
EP # 251- Big Brother Canada 8 Week 1 & 2
EP # 252- Survivor Winners At War EP # 7 & 8
EP # 253- Big Brother Canada Week 3 & 4 (Actual Post Will be posted up that Everything About Reality TV is up-to-date and ready for the next episode.)


                 I know that's like a span of 6 episodes! So wild! However this may take me a week and a half to catch up so the more recent episode will probably be out late then usual, however once we are caught up to speed then we go full speed ahead with the Survivor Season as you guys know Big Brother Canada, Season 8 ended prematurely due to this virus going around which I will address to you guys on the podcast itself. I wanna tell you guys this, I PROMISE you guys I will not quit again. This podcast has become something and honestly it seems it has 9 lives like a cat! What is this the 3rd time I've un-quit from a project now? LOL! Just kidding in all seriousness I think the fact this podcast has grown on me is another reason. Also in the next 2.5 months, I will be talking to my Co-Founder and New Host about this and I am referring to the summer scheduling as right now things are quiet and I do not know further what the plan is moving forward right now. Also still waiting on The Amazing Race and I will address that in a different post maybe tomorrow's post when we could see it or sometime in the next couple of days as I do have plans for other posts over the next few days.

Thoughts On This Season of Big Brother Canada, Season 8?

               I honestly have a lot to say about this season of Big Brother Canada as it has been a really insane last few weeks. First we saw the self eviction of Nico who didn't want to stay due to mental health and I understand that but wish he'd stay to try and fight at least. Then we had a regular week but without the audience, just Arisa in the studio. Which I totally understand why with the Corona Virus (COVID19) going around. I wasn't planning to actually to go into Toronto for an eviction unless things slowed down but at this point I will not be going and plus the audience has been suspended so I will watch from here at home and watch the drama unfold. Now bringing into this week to hear Jamar was ejected, expelled whatever you want to call it, please correct me in the comments below but due to things said which I rather not repeat it they were both removed from the house and this brings us into this week to the HOH where they are in sleeping bags and hanging on a bar which we find out on Sunday's episode so please no spoilers in the comments below.


                 Honestly I have mixed feelings about this season as everything that can go wrong can go wrong, like I said self eviction to 2 expulsions and this virus going around right now is making me worried they will just cancel the rest of this season or just stop and I just really do not know where this season is going to, especially with the virus Pandemic right now I just got a very weird vibe they may end up stopping the game. Let's hope not as I love Big Brother Canada dearly but I just feel like they could of held it off even till early June and yes I realize it would over lap the US but they could of done it in the fall too but we will have to really wait and see what this season becomes. Jamar situation I feel like Kyle started this entirely but now both gone, I still feel like Jamar could of not said anything and things probably be completely different and Kyle could of been the only one. Either way the game moves forward and I understand the frustration by all you guys the fans and I am really being heartfelt in my message about the season in this post. The game moves forward and we are hitting a reset and we will see who wins HOH Sunday to those who do not look at the spoilers. I am going to try and enjoy it but kind of giving up on this season with so many things going on, I feel like they need to just stop and try Big Brother Canada Season 9 like Kevin said on his Twitter and I totally agree with him maybe that is the best thing to do but hey gotta stay optimistic right? 


Have a great rest of you Friday (Happy TGIF)

My Favorite Big Brother Canada Houses-- Rankings

              With watching the Big Brother Canada Premiere last night and Eric here, I got inspired to do this post. Now this was actually inspired before the premiere aired here in Ontario. So today's post is about my favorite houses throughout the seasons from 1 to 8. I think this is a fair list but here is my rankings for the houses past and also the current house for this season of Big Brother Canada Season 8:

1) Big Brother Canada 8- The Comic theme; I know it's early in the season right now but I love this theme idea for this year.

2) Big Brother Canada 7- The Spy theme; Loved the idea of James Bond kind of theme and it is definitely up there on my list.

3) Big Brother Canada 5- Space Ship; Another amazing theme and unfortunately was the last one before the hiatus which was short lived. However that is besides the point. Anyways it was the perfect theme for what was an epic season with half newbies and half vets.

4) Big Brother Canada 4- BB Grand/Hotel; Was one of my other personal favorites with the hotel like kind of theme. It was also fitting for our International guests that we had in the house, Nikki Grahame and Tim Dormer.

5) Big Brother Canada 6- Heaven & Hell; What a way to come back to a season after a hiatus and a season to give back to the fans this year for bringing the show back with a bang of a season!

6) Big Brother Canada 3- Steam Punk; Not a bad theme but it is not on the top of my list for seasons, however I liked the fact they had nothing in the house to start with and had to earn it back.

7) Big Brother Canada 2- Theme???;  Not sure really the theme for this season but I knew it had flowers but unfortunately at the bottom of my list as it wasn't my favorite seasons out of the 8 seasons of the show that we have had.

8) Big Brother Canada 1- No Real Theme, More Downtown Toronto theme I guess; As I said in the intro to this one out of the 8 seasons. Anyways, this was the first season and you would think this would be higher and not saying the season stunk but all the seasons were good this is the themes for each season for the ranking.


              That is my rankings and do you agree with me? Please let me know in the comments below. Also I realize this is early to post up and I should of waited till end of the season to do this but hey, I decided to do this now instead as this was fresh in the back of mind. Until the next post tomorrow.

Everything About Reality TV Updates [02-19-2020]

             So I have some updates since about 2 days ago this was while I was putting up other content here on the website, Both Jasmine and I agreed since we couldn't find a Host for the upcoming Big Brother Canada Season 8 and also Big Brother US, Season 22, they will be indeed doing the recaps as we originally planned on doing. I will be around if they need me to replace them one week but I we will make it work on way or another. You never know you may hear my voice on the podcast from time to time as a guest. Mind you I am still one of the hosts but I am playing more of a Behind The Scenes but still covering Survivor, The Amazing Race and The Amazing Race Canada so I am still involved but just not as involved for Big Brother anymore. I think it is the most appropriate time to step back on the role of host and actually let someone else cover it. It is exciting and it will be a strange feeling to have not covering it but this our plan moving forward for the 3 of us. So here is the updated schedule:

Thursdays: 9 pm EST- Survivor Winners At War RECAP

Fridays: 9 pm EST- Big Brother Canada 8 RECAP (Starting March 6th, 2020)


            There is our schedule if we need to tweak it we will let you know but for the most part we are sticking to our normal schedule as we have it during the Big Brother seasons so we are very much happy with it. Now TAR (The Amazing Race) we do not still not know what the plan or when it will be starting but found an article speculating May we could see that which is great as I will be at the end of Survivor and Amazing Race will just be in my schedule but right now it is too early to say as we haven't even started the Big Brother Canada Season 8 season yet so we will let you know when we know but I have informed CBOTW Staff, Everything About Reality TV Staff about what I found but will keep digging around like I always do.  These are our updates and like I said once I know further will definitely make another post for you guys.

Survivor Will Be On For 10 More Years?!

            My friend said that he's heard that Survivor which is one of the shows that is covered on Everything About Reality TV will be around for at least another 10 years?! I looked and nothing at all and honestly I need him to show me where he found this information but if this is true this is good news for the podcast for being around for many more years to come. Some how I just cannot find anything so something seems fishy but I will ask Eric he knows where to find the source of the article. However you know I would like to keep this podcast going for many more years to come and honestly as you know I have been feeling down a lot more last year worrying about the future of the podcast and what would I do afterwards but that is all figured out and not to worry about it till the time comes. Honestly this does make me happy to know the show is going to be around longer so this means the podcast will definitely around but again I just do not know what to expect if it will be back but for crying out loud we haven't even start Season 40 yet and we do not know if they will go beyond Season 40 years we just do not know! 


             It is all about the network if they want to renew it and also of course it is about the viewership if they are getting the views which they have been around the 8 - 10 million views as I did check so I can definitely see it coming back but I just do not want to get too ahead of ourselves right now. The thing we need focus on is Survivor: Winners At War, Big Brother Canada 8 and Amazing Race 32, followed by Big Brother 22 and Amazing Race Canada so we have to focus on now not later and him telling me this did get me excited and at the same time overwhelmed and anything gets me overwhelmed very easily but I will be keeping this in the back of my mind but I am currently focusing on the present and you never know this could happen as the show hasn't really gone dry yet and it's always exciting every single season and it really makes me think hey they are coming up with new and exciting ideas and definitely makes worth watching the show each week that it is. There is a bit of what I have heard but do not know if it's true and if you hear or find the article please put it in the comments below as I want to see something stating this.

What Do I Think Will Win Survivor: Island of The Idols?

             I know posts right now are all over the place at the moment but with finale for the podcasts but I was really thinking about things today or yesterday actually and since my picks are now no longer in the running to win the game so I have two people in my mind that I even mentioned to Eric on Monday who I think I will win it all. So without further ado, here is who I think I will win the game:

Tommy- He has been solid with the people he was loyal with: Janet, Dean and Dan which at this moment Dan was ejected that leaves the 3 but I think there could be a definite final 3 situation with them come finale tonight but we will definitely have to wait and see for ourselves to what happens.

Dean- Yes he has been a target but Dean has played it pretty cool and I think he could do some damage and give someone that fake advantage and someone's game could be more then done.

Lauren- Played a very strong social and strategic game and I think she can take it to the end if it isn't Janet it could definitely be her and do not forget there is a fire making challenge too that they do have to play so anything is possible.

                Now Noura, I do not really think she will go to the end of the game but if she does then she can be beaten I am sure. Again it comes down to the final Immunity Challenge and also that dreadful fire making challenge. However do not forget Janet has her idol and Dean has that idol nullifier and I think it will definitely be played and Dean will end up using it and nullifying Janet's idol which could honestly send Janet to the jury. I honestly have that really, really odd feeling Noura and Janet will be sent to the jury but in the end I just think Tommy has a better case to the jury why he should win but do not forget the new format so it will be a tougher time but out of the 3 above, I'd put my bets on Tommy winning it all and articles even say Tommy is more then likely will be the winner and I just have that real gut feeling that is what will happening.
