Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker Movie Review! (No Spoilers!)

                 Yesterday I had the pleasure to go and see Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker or also known as EP # 9 of the 3rd trilogy out of the series that they have done 1977. Now as the title says, I promise to not give any spoilers but I can say it really answers everything I had in the back of my mind for the past so many months now. I can say this movie has a bit of stuff from Episodes 4, 5 & 6 I can say again I will not go into full spoilers but it answers a lot especially with the trailer with the Emperor's laugh now I understand the entire storyline and how it entirely went. This is clearly hard for me to write... lol... It is so difficult to not spoil the entire movie. I can say yes there is something with the emperor as you will see it once you see the movie. There was parts I was completely shocked on and again not going to say what as this movie has only been out 2 days and maybe by mid January I will do a spoiler post for you guys. I remember there was times Larry or I would say something quietly to each other about the movie and like I said I promise to do a more spoiler version of the movie mid January. The look on Larry's face was quite interesting or his one comment of "Didn't see that happening!" and yes I am not going to specify what it was either at this moment.

  
                   I am not going to make this a overly a long post but movie wise the movie was exciting a long of action and fight scenes in it. I really enjoyed it and honestly I think I enjoyed this movie more then the last 2 but that is honestly my opinion and you guys may have a different opinion on this movie but if you haven't seen it and a very big Star Wars fan I highly recommend to go and see it. I got from Larry's mom a Darth Vader toy when you press on his chest piece he starts to breath like back at the end of Ep 3 in Ep 4, 5 & 6. Now we got a medium popcorn with a medium soft drink. I was shocked what the theater looked like after all the renovations it went through with the nice reclining seats it had in it so we definitely went comfortable for the movie this year. Anyways in conclusion if you are a big Star Wars fan, I highly recommend to see this movie as you will not be disappointed at all. Finally I am sorry this is late with the holidays coming, I am very busy with the family stuff going on and I promise you guys I will do a post on time tomorrow at the usual 12 pm EST.

Everything About Reality TV Will Return Jan 14th, 2020!

               It has been a whirlwind of a season and I honestly can say I thought this week was the end of the podcast but it wasn't as you guys wanted me to continue on. This season has been full of emotions as you know the last season before the one that I just finished, we ended up walking away from Big Brother for the remainder of the season due to falling so far behind and honestly if any of this would happen again, I have a new plan moving forward but we will be fine with the plan that we got, it is going to even be bigger and better then before. This year also I thought it would of been done with this podcast but nope, you guys wanted more seasons and been reaching out to me and it was an astonishing amount of support through the rough patches I have had recently. Plus we have a new staff on board for the Big Brother Canada 8 and hopefully Big Brother 22 RECAPS so this is definitely good for us moving forward and it sure takes a bit of stress as you know I covered everything in the past 4 years so I am excited to be mentoring and been wanting to take on a mentor role. With with the stress of this season comes excitement for 2020. Plus ever since the podcast was discovered that it was on IHeartRadio it really has picked the views up on the podcast so that's so amazing as views as the views really stayed around the same amount for the longest time! 


                 Now with one season gone comes another and with great pleasure, I am happy announce a 13th season of Everything About Reality TV come February 13th, 2020! So when will there be off season Podcasts? Well we will be returning on January 14th, 2020 so this does give us a few weeks off from Podcasting so we can prepare some off season episodes for you guys right now, as you know I have destroyed the notes when I made that announcement it was ending but now that it isn't I have to come up with ideas for both Survivor, Amazing Race and Amazing Race Canada and I do actually have a couple of ideas up my sleeve before the preview podcast early February as I found out that Survivor: Winners At War is now suppose to be out February 12th, 2020 but Jeff said that it will be out sometime February but it was leaked apparently. So I look forward to January 14th and in the meantime, please enjoy the blog posts in the meantime while we are on a break from the podcast.

Some Changes and Additions Have Been Made!

            Due to some things that has happened in the past few days to a few weeks now, I am going to be a bit more serious on what I bring onto CBOTW as you know CBOTW Gamers Podcast is no more and it is what it is. I guess it wasn't really meant to be and I shouldn't try to revive something that failed in the past. As you know I made some changes to the site, removed the team page as It just did not work out too well with the coding nor not all the staff want to be listed or will be ok with having a bio on there. Anyways the next addition to the website is the chatroom. It has been asked to bring it back and it will help bring in more views to the website and honestly I can see things being different and we have my support staff which are around the site on mostly night when I am in bed early but I am mostly on and they will explain everyone that is around on the Staff however there is the 2 main things I want and I am just frustrated and I am happy with the current team I have.
            
             I know I haven't revealed it at all but Jasmine has joined the team and will be covering Big Brother Canada 8 and hopefully Big Brother 22 as well if she wishes. However details are coming in the New Year and I promise I will be giving you all a ton of details. Bringing someone new has made me so excited for what is to come in 2020 and excited for the 13th season of EAR TV & Power Rangers Collaboration Podcast to return in 2020 with 3 recording dates in the year. I am entirely happy with Billy, Larry and Jasmine and this is the team I want to have moving forward with all these amazing changes, the chatroom returning which you can find on the right hand side of the chat. There is a ton of stuff coming for Chris B On The Web and you find out Sunday @ Noon EST as one of my members of Staff will be writing  a post tomorrow in place of me writing to give me a day off so I can try and focus on Power Rangers Podcast as I am aiming to finish this weekend so between Christmas and New Years I can type and get it finished before Jan 1st, so I may be working around the holidays possibly.

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.

Why I Refuse To Go Back On YouTube!

             There is a ton of reasons why and you guys know how I feel about YouTube as a whole especially with what happened recently when I tried to make a return to the platform which I will remind you in this post as one of my points that I am going to make:

1) False Copyright Claims- As you know back in the summer time I went through heck and back with the platform as my royalty free intro was falsely copyright claimed as a song from the group B52's when it wasn't so their system for the copyright system isn't too good honestly in my own opinion. 

2) Ad revenue- Ad revenue is not like it use to be and you have to have 1000 subscribers and so many total views to even get into the revenue. However I rather not earn revenue nor it would be in my goal it all goes back to # 1 on this list which is listed above and has now become one of the main reasons for me. 

3) Any Content Has To Be Family Friendly- As we know since 2016 or 2017 it has to be kid or family friendly and I'm afraid my podcast probably wouldn't even show up in anybody's recommendations at any point. 

4) Notifications- Another thing on the list is the notifications as not all notifications go out to the subscribers hence the way it is now for me and the podcasts and the blog is a ton better as you guys are notified one way or another. 


               In the end I just do not see myself or CBOTW Staff returning to the platform anytime soon as we are going to continue to do Audio ONLY and really no big plans for video anytime soon and with me recently banned from Twitch as well, there is no plans for me to do anything video wise at this point. That is the 4 reasons but the 5th one I really didn't have many trolls on YouTube that is on another platform I used up to recently so YouTube is not a problem with the trolls but YouTube has changed so much since I was on the platform in 2016 but yes I am still around the platform but as a viewer not a content creator and I have no regrets to stopping creating content on there so now I am now focus on here on the website and the podcast platforms our podcasts are on.
