Weight Loss Update [05-09-2020]

                           This will not be a long post as there is a lot of things that have to be done as we wanna continue on with the website stuff and I actually got this post and the podcast edited and posted up during the night as it should be up on the platforms by now. All I can say, I stayed up late working on it and getting it done and up. Anyways that is besides the point as technically and this is about my weight. Honestly I haven't been keeping an eye on it really, I haven't paid any attention to it to be honest and I know last time I weighed like Thursday morning I weighed at 227 pounds which I wanna get it down and I am going to. Just gotta really work on it. I wanna make myself more smoothies for breakfast and I just need to get my butt out for walks really and probably will do that today and take an hour of my time from coding the website which went on hold but I can take an hour of my time to walk and get fresh air. I admit to walking to the park and back but that's not really far to go and won't do anything for my weight seriously and my fitbit the wrist bands are broken and need to get them fixed so I do not know how to get the wrist bands off to begin with but I need my fitbit back up and running. At this point I cannot keep track of my steps which I was currently working 7000 steps or was it 8000 steps a day? I don't remember but it was long the line of that numbers.

                            Either way I have to get back into a healthy pattern and we have been having way too much fatty foods lately and it isn't healthy. I wanna first aim for 220 pounds first then I will be a lot happier. I have to lose 7 pounds to get there then onto my next goal but one thing at a time.  I almost didn't even wanna bother with a weight loss update and I could of had my team post up the post that went up almost at midnight last night. I know the timing isn't great but I try to get content out on time for you guys. I am almost tempted to do weight loss updates every 2nd week at this point but I will keep you up to date on things as I continue to try lose this weight. Anyways I will talk to you guys on tomorrow's post as I have a bit of an announcement to make.

Everything About Reality TV Podcast Major Updates

          Chris did a post about the podcasts this morning but that was more the status and I got more information from him that I want to share as I know this isn't a Monday but as you guys know I am stepping down from Survivor Recaps as Billy is replacing me. There is a reason behind it as I want the Staff behind the podcast as involved as much as possible.  Chris is still around the podcast and is still very much involved and most involved in the earlier part of the year and the summer but again it depends on the scheduling but this is to clear up any confusion to what the plan moving forward is.  Yes he spoke about Sequester however it will not be in the list as of right now.  Anyways let's start with what platform the shows are on followed by the Hosts but don't worry it won't be a long post:

Video & Audio ONLY (Includes Host of The Podcast):

- Survivor (Hosted By Billy)

- Big Brother (Hosted By Chris, Reality Teas)

- Big Brother Canada (Hosted by Boss Man Chris, Me)

Audio ONLY (Includes The Host of The Podcast):

- Amazing Race US (Hosted By Boss Man Chris, Me)

- Amazing Race Canada (Hosted By Boss Man Chris, Me)

                   So there is the current list and like I said there is our list and right now, we have kept out ONE show and the reason is we do not have a host for it at this moment and I am not going to say what show at this moment but never know we will explore the option again in the future I'm sure. So for right now there is the updates and Yes he knows he is only hosting one podcast on BOTH Video & Audio ONLY once and the rest is Audio ONLY... LOL! The fact he's not a really big YouTube fan these days but least he can help the team out behind the scenes and play a more of an Executive Producer role. However do not forget he also have Amazing Race and Amazing Race Canada on the list and we just found out that Amazing Race has been renewed for supposedly Season 33 which is on hold but we know right now that was put on hold due to the state of the world. Any changes or adjustments will be brought up on this blog.

Thanks everyone, have a great rest of your evening,

Podcast Updates [05-08-2020]

                     Got some interesting news actually with podcasts old new and and rebooted podcasts. This week has been a busy one for me for the Executive side of things making decisions for the podcast and getting things rolling. I cannot wait to tell you guys most of the plans and some are in pre production, some going into production and the other currently in Production. So here is what is going on with all the podcasts on our Network:

Pre-Production:

- CBOTW Gamers Podcast: Waiting on our potential host to get a computer and we have already discussed the platforms and if it will be live or just Audio ONLY which I cannot indulge that information at this moment as not all the details have really been ironed out still but don't worry, we are working on all of that for you guys and when we are close to launch we will give you guys more information.

- Entertainment Man Production: That's right this podcast is coming back with a vengeance and will be taking up the space of Everything About Reality TV while it's on Hiatus which we hope not but this podcast will be out every week on Mondays @ 1 pm EST on Audio ONLY Platforms only, nothing else. I feel a lot more confident with this podcast and look forward to this podcast. There may be times where I have to stop the podcast due to a busy schedule but that is why I got other hosts to help me out with podcasts as Everything About Reality TV is not a one man operation really. 

In Production/May Be On Hiatus:

- Everything About Reality TV: Currently still in production but soon to be heading into a Hiatus as we had plans to cover Sequester but we currently do not have a host. We have ideas for podcasts for between the seasons but unsure if the plans will go through with this so that is up in the air at this moment but I am in constant communication with my team. Also  Billy is the new Host for the Survivor RECAPS and plan on starting for Survivor 41 which we hope this happens in the fall as scheduled. As for Chris (Reality Teas) we are waiting to see if there is a Big Brother this Summer and same with me covering Amazing Race Canada so no real new information is available about that. We do not know if we will be on hiatus for a long time or that will be a short hiatus before we get back into the swing of things again.

In Production:

- Power Rangers Podcast: Currently the only podcast at this present time of day that is really active right now and honestly isn't in Limbo of being put on Hiatus. However this is currently on the air 9 weeks of the year of a 3 recording sessions per year with 2 episodes per session. that's like 9 seasons a year which is a lot but we are up to the challenge. 

              There is the updates of the podcast and I'm excited to have these guys aboard with Billy, Reality Teas (Chris), Larry, Jeff and myself. Whoops did I say Jeff, yea hes back involved again with the team again and I have said this with all my staff, more the merrier really and that is the reason why I am bringing on a team and it is very exciting indeed. Again we will keep you up to date on things and how it is going and what not and all I can really say is stay tune for more information!

1 Year Ago I Was On A Spring Cruise On The Chi-Cheemaun!

                             So 1 year ago well about days later from the actual 1 year anniversary, to be politically correct 5 days. I went on a Spring Cruise on the Chi-Cheemaun Ferry! Boy what a long but fun trip and it was weird to see snow there. Also the fact Flower Pot was really quiet and just odd to see anyone and plus the town of Tobermory was quiet and never seen a town so silent and quiet. I still remember exactly what we had, potatoes, Roast Beef and some kind of square which I believe was lemon actually.  I know there was a ton of down time between the departure and arrival but I was always looking around especially when I got around the Grotto. One thing I loved was the Captain blasted the Chi Cheemaun again on the way out at the entrance/exit to Owen Sound Harbor. Also those hanging out at the Grotto as there was 1 or 2 people there if I remember correctly.  I believe there was a few people even in Tobermory when we arrived to greet the boats arrival for the brand new Ferry Sailing Season. Feels like it has been longer then 1 year and definitely a memorable moment. It was neat we got to enter through a side hatch on the side of the ferry which is a very rare occurrence as you normal enter from the "bow" or "stern" as that is the proper terms or the side ramp either side Tobermory or South Baymouth (Manitoulin Island). It was amazing to see what a great turn out it had and unfortunately the ferry service is on hold due to our situation with the virus but glad I got go last year with my dad and my dad traveled from pretty far from the South East end of Ontario like 3 hours away from here. 

                           I would love to complete it all and do the Fall Cruise with my dad next year which would be pretty beautiful up there but we would have to book a hotel and get a school bus from Owen Sound and up to Tobermory. I am on their social media pages liked and following them on a regular updates and asked them questions if I had some. Either way there is 2 more things on my bucket list with Tobermory and that is for another post for another day. It is a fun trip and if you live in Ontario and when this is all done and hopefully things go back to normal, I highly recommend this trip even if it isn't a Spring or Fall Cruise it can be a normal trip from Tobermory to South Baymouth or the southbound trip but it don't matter really what direction but it is worth the time to go up there. Finally I have been doing this trip for ages and like I said there are 3 things still on my bucket list. What the heck really, they are the 2 hour cruise around the islands during the day, exploring Manitoulin more and finally the Fall Cruise. I know the fall cruise will be similar but it will be in the opposite direction which is south down the peninsula.  Either way it was a fun time and I enjoyed it and cannot wait to do the fall one.

My Sims 4 Big Brother House Was Repo'd Apparently!

 I  was playing my Sims recently and I went back to the Sims 4 Big Brother House to find no lights, no furniture, nothing! I thought well they repo'd all our crap that I built the house from the ground up with the help of Larry in the process. I believe if I remember My Sims has done 4 seasons so far before a lengthy hiatus. The House even had just the dry walls up. It was ridiculous and just dark. Even the crew which was my guy till he died from either old age or an fire in the house on The Sims 4. However the daughter took over and now it's Justin and yes Justin from my former team at one point of my YouTube career from 2011 - 2017. Anyways he's running the building now and we went into a total remodel and fix up. I got the lights back up but had to take some down due to a minor fix where you can see from the second floor so I managed to get it covered and redid the railing and what not. Also the Mirror's were repo'd too that act like  a two way mirror in the game of Big Brother. Same with the chairs in the studio had to be replaced. Redid the HOH Room, 2 bedrooms and bathroom. Also redid the entire backyard and added back lights, the hot tub in the hot tub area as well. TV's were added back couch's and the kitchen remodeled and added a half wall instead which looks pretty awesome. Pantry is back to what it was and the dining room tables were back.  There is still some work to be done. I did  mention the HOH, however it isn't completely finished and I do not think the toilets are back in the main bathroom yet. Also Justin's bed, bathroom, TV, couch, kitchenette with stove and fridge and sink and counters are to be added before I start the 5th season of The Sims 4 Big Brother. I guess TS4BB for short.    I do not know why the heck we lost all our stuff honestly. I guess we didn't pay our bills in time, so they got peeved off at us. Yea we're running a big operation with that building and costs us a lot per bill that we get sometimes 30 - 40 thousand dollars and we almost ran out of money. We're like at 4 grand left in the bank and dunno how we will run this season. Might have to remove everything and abandon the 5th season due to financial woes. Which would be a definite downfall. Gotta get him to work a bit to raise some money so we can get this season off the ground really. We'll see I gotta try and finish up the house first which mind you was stripped to the bare bones but gotten a ton of work done to the big house however it comes down to $$$$ in the end. I know I could use the cheat code and I gave myself a bit of money but honestly wasn't enough and I rather go the legit way so sounds like this is going to be held off or just cancelled all together but keep your fingers crossed. I do not think anyone would move into that building anyways as it costs too much money honestly.  Larry and I made quite an expensive building.  Anyways I call that a Sims 4 first where they repo'd my stuff and we weren't even in the building but their own house they own.  It is what it is and going to try and fix the issue.

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.

Chris B On The Web Weekly Update [05-03-2020]

                    Here is your updates for this week. What another crazy week for us here at ChrisBOnTheWeb.  We continue to social distance ourselves here in Ontario and we continue to keep the studio in complete lock down for right now we have made some progress with some new features on the website. So let's start with the website; we moved very quickly with the website and it took us a few days to get the design of the menu bar working and it does work but we hope to tweak it a bit more but most part it is done.  We are working on the pages now and have gotten Survivor & Big Brother Pages done and finished and moving at a fast pace to getting it done entirely. My team for the website has done a phenomenal job even tho we lost our website admin but another one was hired on but that is besides the point, the point is we are getting things done on a fast pace and hope we can get the job finished and I think if we continue the path we are going right now, we will indeed get even half way done at the most this week. After Survivor, Big Brother pages we got Big Brother Canada, Amazing Race and Amazing Race Canada for the active podcasts then Celeb Big Brother US and Music City CMT for the shows we do not cover anymore as they are no longer on the air. As I said yesterday's post that I am working on Power Rangers and started to watch the show again while working on the page. Now Social Media wise, we have lost followers on both Twitter and Instagram but gained a couple which is good. Instagram we're up and down for the most part but I think the Instagram is more tailored towards my own personal account which I promote still as you guys seem to enjoy my posts about podcasting and just life in General and the only personal account you will see out of it all. Anyways I am very impressed with the progress and I have noticed I have been a little more patience but still have my moments.

                 Now Everything About Reality TV and Power Rangers Podcast is next on the list for updates and there has been a lot of ups and down with trying to figure out shows and came to terms that for right now, to put the podcast on hiatus as of May 15th at midnight which means podcast content will come to a break and right now we will be lacking podcast content but like I said above Power Rangers Podcast isn't on hiatus either as it's possible to get done. Power Rangers Podcast, I'm working on Time Force right now and wanna get it done in a week to week and a half to ensure I can get moving on the next one so we can get typing up the notes and I can forward them to Larry in case we are still in lock down we have a backup plan to record through Discord or Skype. Anyways that is the updates for this week, it's business as usual even tho we hit a roadblock with production with the podcast but it is what it is and we will make the best out of the situation and that is all we can really do.  We are hanging in there and trying to find work to do and keep CBOTW a good flow and we are still going at a strong pace. Anyways I will see you guys in the next post tomorrow have a good rest of your Monday.
