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.

What Will I Do After Everything About Reality TV Podcast Finishes This Season?

                        First of all getting use to the new version of blogger as they changed the layout and honestly liked the older version but what can you do? Anyways that is besides the point but I was asked what am I going to do between the seasons. First thing I want to say is this is just a hiatus, it is not cancelled. We will be between seasons and until we know the status of shows, we're on a break. I wouldn't even call it a hiatus but more like a break from things really. Well as you know, Larry and I are scheduled for July to record and I have to continue to watch the series and more then likely what I will be doing while I am working on the website today but besides the point.  Watch the series will take a few weeks to watch and finish but even after that start working on Ninja Storm and Dino Thunder for the Fall so I can make sure were on track and even beyond that! What do I mean by this? I also wanna make sure January's podcast is ready and I want to get a bit ahead of myself so I can keep the schedule as it is. I have to also finish the website up and it may take a few weeks more to complete the entire project. So that is another thing is I will be working on the site and watching Power Rangers so I will be multi tasking to get it done. There is a lot of different things I can do but Power Rangers and Website has the priority right now to be finished and I know I will get it done. Also I have to remember it takes a lot of time to watch the show and episodes and I am actually now at Episode # 8 so I am making progress but sure I will make a ton of progress today and so on. Also I can say this as well that I will be once the website is done and working, I will be working on Off Season Podcasts in case I want to do some before the next season starts but again we do not know when shows will be airing again right now but always good to be prepared ahead of time and I know there is episodes that I did I could do on an off Season again but I have to locate it in my archives box where I keep past notes so there's another task for me to do is locate the notes and I already put it on my list of many things to do. There is plenty of different longer tasks and shorter tasks that I can do honestly and keep me busy over the time we're off from the main podcast series.


                           Yes, I will miss podcasting but don't forget that in July, we will be recording the next Power Rangers Podcast and we're 2 short months away honestly and excited to be sitting down but we do not know if he's going to be coming to the studio as we're still in lockdown and we honestly do not know the outcome yet and they hope to start opening things up but they will not be lifting the social distancing and I think it will be the last thing they do but is OK with me. I got things I can do and plus like I said in an update I have been playing games with my parents on and off, watching TV shows and so forth so I am busy and will continue to be busy. Also now that I have figured out the issues, I think the pages will be done even quicker as we know how to fix the website and will continue to work on it. Work is still being done and with the extra time with Amazing Race now postponed till later this year we have extra time on our hands and we get more time to actually plan and get things rolling with new content and excited for what is next for the podcast. So in my final words is to stay tuned for more content, keep following us on social media for more information and I think this is the best decision to put the podcast on hold after Survivor till we know what is next and we will get through this together.

Weight Loss & Personal Update [05-02-2020]

              This is a two in one update for today's post. First with the Weight Loss Update. Now as you know, I have been trying to lose weight and honestly hasn't been easy whatsoever to lose weight and recently been down to 226 pounds but it seems to fluctuate and I need to remember I have to watch what I eat, especially in the evenings and yesterday I had Ice Cream with Butter Scotch and definitely not the right move but I should allow myself at least one fat day and didn't do that recently. So I have been fluctuating from 226 - to 228 and I really need to start losing the weight. I only had breakfast yesterday as I wasn't really hungry at Lunch time which is fine really. That sometimes makes a difference at times. However I am trying the hardest I can to lose the weight and to be honestly, I need to work harder at it. I will lose the weight don't worry even if I need to cut back on things like eating after dinner and not done much of that really recently. 


                Now the personal update that you guys are wanting to know. How have I been, dealing with being locked in the house pretty much almost 24 hours a day, 7 days a week minus my weekly trips to the corner store and walks around the area? I am hanging in there, I am in good positive spirits. I am happier then I have been and honestly been busy with Chris B On The Web and preparing things which I will get into Monday on a post. I have remained busy with the website with website stuff. Other then CBOTW, I am staying inside playing games with my parents and going for walks with my mom or walking on my own for 30 - 45 minutes. Finally I have been watching TV Shows with my mom, Family Feud with Steve Harvey aka Baldy as I call him. So you can see I have been keeping busy and occupied and found myself playing games such as Grand Theft Auto 4 the main story, currently on the Lost Boys and the one with Tony in it. I will do a review when I have completed it.  Also relearned how to play Chinese Checkers and also Sorry as it has been ages since I played it, same with Rummi Cube I have had to learn how to play it again but I found the knack of it pretty fast. So either I am fine and very much healthy same with my family, were staying home and if we're outside were on our property for the most part minus shopping every week to every 2 weeks.

What Happened To My Super Girl Reviews?

                        I know it's been at least almost 2 months since I have done a Super Girl review as you know I have been watching the series and recently tried and watch Super Girl Season 4 and I found it, well honestly I found it confusing to follow along. I also found it strange and just finding it hard to focus on the episodes and that is why I decided to stop watching the series after 3 seasons. However if you guys or even my friends in real life talk me back into watching it, I will be back with them but right now I have decided to not do another review as of right now. I can also say that I tried to watch 2 or 3 episodes of the 4th season and just lost interest right away. Not sure tho why, I could of been in one of my not so good moods I.E cranky moods as you know we have been home non stop lately.  But there is no reason why I cannot give it another chance and you never know, I may just give it another chance and try finishing off Season 4 and then get to this current season.


                    So the idea of more reviews of the seasons aren't over yet and with us still in quarantine, I may throw it on and watch it on my extra time despite I have to get working on Power Rangers but I can mix and match while I watch it. I probably re start as I only watched a couple of episodes but it will take a lot of focus to watch it and try and actually get back into it as like I said it may take me some time to get back into it but if I do not manage to get back into it then there is really nothing I can do. I do admit I enjoyed the first 3 seasons but it has become just strange for me but I am all for second chances and I am going to give it a shot again. That is my small post and cannot wait for an weight loss update blog tomorrow as I have been moving up and down on the scale lately so I will see you guys tomorrow at the normal time and thanks for reading today's post and I'm sorry I'm hours late.

Cancelled Going To Events For The Remainder of 2020

            As Founder and Owner of ChrisBOnTheWeb, I have come to a very difficult decision late last night.  As you all know we are all dealing with COVID-19 and most of the events locally here and in Toronto have been cancelled. Which made me come to a very, very difficult decision to CANCEL any of the events that were planned into May right through to the end of the year. These are the following events that I am cancelling going to this year: 


Bowmanville Maple Festival- May 2020
Food Truck Friday, Bowmanville- June 2020
Canada Day Celebrations- July 2020
Rib Fest, Durham Ontario- August 2020
Orono Fair (Fair was cancelled itself)- September 2020
Polish/Ukrainian Festival- September 2020
Apple Festival- October 2020
The Royal Winter Fair- November 2020
Tyrone Parade of Lights- December 2020


            Now we do not know about Polish/Ukrainian Festivals, Apple Fest, The Royal Winter Fair and Tyrone Parade of Lights but as for me this year, I am planning to not attend any of these festivals as it is uncertain what the outcome of this virus will be, whether we get a second wave of the virus but HONESTLY as I said to my Staff, I do not feel comfortable going into large crowds, especially not this soon after the virus is over, just do not feel quite comfortable and it will take me some time to get use to being out and about in the public again but come 2021 we will be back at events and stronger then before. So this means any flyers, I hand out right now will be CBOTW (Including Power Rangers Collaboration Podcast) & Everything About Reality TV for promotion, nothing else. I apologize for the inconvienence but as I stated with the current events in the world, I think this is the best move for CBOTW and mainly myself as I do every single event. We look forward to 2021 Events and again we are deeply sorry as we know you enjoyed those event posts but we promise to make it up to you guys for the rest of this year.

Favorite 3 Stooges Episodes!

                 On today's blog post, I am going to talk about My favorite 3 Stooges episodes. Now I have spoken about how I got into the show and what not and now I want to talk about my favorite episodes. I got a ton of episodes that I loved and made me laugh to a point of me in pain in the pit of my stomach from laughing so hard but anyways here is my list:

1) Plumbing We Will Go- The 3 of them are plumbers and they totally mess up the plumbing, the lighting and destroy the entire house! This was on of the first episodes that my aunts introduced to me and still find the episode funny as heck!

2) Disorder In The Court- The 3 Stooges, Curly, Larry and Moe are in court as witnesses and just insanity pursues and a musical interlude with Moe swallowing a Harmonica but do not want to spoil it for you guys but worth an episode to watch.

3) The 3rd of at least 5 on my list as I cannot list every single episode is Punk Drunk where they get Curly to get into Boxing and whenever he hears the Weasel tune he goes nuts. Another episode I'd highly recommend to watch for a laugh.

4) Babysitter Jitters- Now this one is with Shemp Larry and Moe. They are babysitting this kid where he was crying and he would laugh every time Shemp would go upside down.  Now there is a scene where the clock is ringing and Moes do you hear that ringing Shemp pulls it out and he's says what's that? Shemp- a Clock, Moe says what does a clock say and Shemp being a smart Alec says, tick, tick, tick and get hits with the clock.

5)  Do not remember the name of this episode but they 3 of them, yes again Shemp, Larry and Moe are dentists and they are out west. They practice their dentistry once they graduated from Dental School. Was pretty hilarious and had this episode even on VHS when it was still a thing.


                  There is my list and hope you guys enjoyed it and please feel free to watch some of these or all of them, they are a good laugh for sure and I enjoy doing these lists kind of posts for you guys and wanna do more of these for you guys down the road and if you got ideas, please do let me know!

Late Night Everything About Reality TV Podcast Update

              I know this is a late night post and I want to address this on an additional post. I found out some information on the summer and nothing is set in stone yet. This isn't a confirmation for the summer either but more of an update for you guys. I just not long ago notified Staff and Alum of CBOTW on the 2 shows we cover in the summertime; Big Brother US & Amazing Race Canada and here are the updates I can give you guys and what I am doing for right now:


Big Brother 22 RECAPS: I know you are all wondering what is happening with our Big Brother Recaps as the last several summers, we have driven away from those recaps or abruptly end it which I know wasn't very professional but this is now not back then. Honestly our last season we covered was Big Brother 19 and with the state of the world with COVID-19 there has been rumors of the season in Limbo and they are going to cancel it which is ridiculous. My thoughts is I want them to have a season and there is NO confirmation from CBS themselves that this season is cancelled due to the virus. So as of right now I am putting on the schedule Big Brother 22 Recaps W/ Reality Teas (Chris) and saying it will happen for right now. I'm not promising it will happen but gotta stay optimistic and positive it will happen as CBS has said so. Yes the Recaps are on the schedule as of right now.


Amazing Race Canada 8 RECAPS: I have heard NOTHING about Amazing Race Canada 8. They have been very quiet and I know we are currently in lock down here in Ontario and Canada and they do not want to say anything till they know for sure it will happen or not which is a smart thing to be honest. So as of right now I am leaving the Recaps on hold for now till I know further so it's on the wait list on my desk till we get a formal announcement from production themselves. That is all we can honestly do is wait it out right now. Update: We are looking at being in Self Isolation for another 4 - 6 months to a year and this may affect Amazing Race Canada 8 so I'm not sure what is going to happen. 


             It can change and I will keep providing you guys updates on the summer scheduling and I got staff around the clock, my website admin and assistant and they keep me up to speed on the situation with this. Either way I have ideas in my head in case we go into a  lengthy hiatus from a regular season but least I am being well prepared and an announcement for the YouTube Channel will be coming in about a month hopefully, don't quote me on that to when we are officially launching the new channel but the show announcements come first. This is the update and again we'll keep you guys up to date when we have more information or breaking news!


Chris, Founder & Owner

Chris B On The Web Update [04-27-2020]

           I know there is a ton of confusion, we were going to start going live but my staff expressed their opinions on things and honestly a lot has transpired with the team in the last week and things have become quite busy for us but that's OK, busy is good. The first thing that is on your mind is the podcasts. I will briefly explain Everything About Reality TV, I know I did post up the link and since then have removed it from social media and that is because we are not ready to promote it. We sprinted so fast out of the gate and honestly I was starting to become overwhelmed actually. However the YouTube channel is now staying quiet till we know further notice and when we announce the channel and we are still doing YouTube but we are just moving too fast and need to slow down. Problem we're having is we're just expanding way to fast and honestly I want to test the waters some more on things.  Now that is out of the way the other podcast that I have been withholding information not just you guys but the Staff that I just shared the news yesterday in the late day that we are, I mean Larry and I are planning to record another Power Rangers Podcast in July 2020. Now we do not know when and if we will be in studio together or through Skype or what the story behind this is so right as right now we are aiming for July. You don't wanna know the story behind it. I originally said the fall. I'm sure you're going to say, Chris what the heck are you doing?! We wait long enough for more episodes and you want to see the normal June but with this virus we are currently trying to gather our resources and this is taking a lot of time and planning as we have never recorded a Power Rangers Podcast that isn't in our Studio before. We have to figure out how Larry's going to print off the enormous amount of notes which he will get an actual copy of it when it's all said and done and he's able to come to studio again. I've got his email and will be sending it to him when the time comes. So please be patient and we will announce when it's time. We promise you, we are going to make it work one way or another.


              Either then that still working on the Audio ONLY and it is taking a lot of time to get finished and we will get it done eventually. We are waiting on announcements for Summer shows and we're just trucking along with the site stuff and redesigning it and fixing it up so you guys got an amazing website to go on. Daily blogs, podcasts twice a week right now just keeping up with the Jones so to speak. I know there is a ton of stuff going on right now and in time we will be figuring out stuff. I understand your frustration with us but from the production stand point of things, we need to announce things when it's more necessary. We did not discuss it further and should of been discussed before we implement the plan. I promise you we will be careful what we share moving forward and if we are sure on our decision we will mention it. Hope you guys have a great start to your week and I will see you guys in another post tomorrow. Oh one last thing if you guys would like to see posts from other members of Staff or more blogs besides myself, please let me know in the comments below. We value, your opinion and it helps us grow as a website.

Worried About Reality TV's Summer Schedule

             I can officially say this, getting more and more worried about the summer schedule honestly.  With this virus going around the world right now, I am starting to think Negatively and mind you Eric who worked with me on a previous team back in the day really trying to keep me in a positive spot and honestly it's been hard to keep being positive. However I am trying. I am also worried about what will happen to our podcast as we have worked so hard to get the YouTube Channel ready for a brand new season and this may not happen for a while. However yes I have said in the past few weeks that I do have a plan and you can definitely withhold me to that but right now is not the right time to talk about YouTube and when it is starting. We are putting that side of the podcast on hold while we finish up the projects and shows at hand which is finishing up Survivor: Winners At War and cover The Amazing Race 32. Then we can decide what happens next with the podcast. 


               Yes as Executive Producer and Host, I am concerned and we could be seeing a bit of a hiatus from the podcast or at least a lengthy off season podcast, but we just do not know what to do and not saying that we do not have Off Season podcasts, we got a couple that were erased from the Audio ONLY feed but the notes still exist on my USB Key so it is all there still. Anyways yes I am worried but I need to try and stay positive and trying to honestly but struggling with this podcast again. I really need to stay focused on NOW, the Survivor Recaps and Rankings Podcast I do every week then shift over to the Amazing Race Recaps and then the decision is ours later on possibly in June to what the plan is if there is no Big Brother 22 or Amazing Race Canada 8. I'm not saying that there not going to be those shows, we're just unsure right now as we do not currently have any announcement made at this moment and we cannot announce what is next for the podcast. We need to take it one thing at time and that is the plan for now. I admit we have been moving too fast lately and it's affecting the morale of the team so it was my own fault on my own part. These are tough times for all of us with the constant changes going on right now and we are figuring things out right now and when we have more information, we will give it to you guys when we know further.

Addicted To Pooligans Game!

                I've been wanting to talk about this for ages but I am addicted to Pooligans. What is it you may ask? Well it's a game of Pool. It is really a ton of fun and I am getting better at it as time goes on. I have been patient and I really find myself playing it when I can and I usually play several rounds a day, maybe sometimes more. However I enjoy it and I've played it in real life before with my Sunday group I use to go out with back then and I found it fun. Yes the game itself can be hard at times and there has been times where the other opponent just quit on me and I got the win which is a good thing. I've got pretty good stats with wins too and I think once, I almost went 7 - 0 on the computer while practicing and seeing if anyone invites me into a game. I have been invited into several games but the most part, I practice a ton,


              Although, I haven't worked on it much lately, I've been too busy with projects for the website to play and hence the reason I haven't played in a few weeks and plus just finished Grand Theft Auto 4 so when projects slow down again, I will definitely get back to it. It has been some time and honestly I haven't even logged in at all but like I said I will eventually. The best part of this being on Steam, it's completely FREE! That's right, I said it! It's totally free and love the fact its a free game. How did I find it? I was searching around and accidentally and since then I have indeed become addicted to it. I just cannot play one game, it has to be more then one game apparently... LOL. However it's a fun game and a very addictive game to play. I know this isn't a long post but I hope you enjoyed this post and I highly recommend to play this if you are into pool.

CBOTW Gamers Podcast Is Not Gone....

           I know we spoke about this months ago but CBOTW Gamers Podcast isn't gone. We may not have a host currently but that's OK. If worse comes to worse I will take it over. You are going to ask how Chris? You are currently active with Everything About Reality TV Podcast right now. Yes I realize this and this will all come later... Not right now, later... Right now is not the time nor place as the podcast continues to go strong even with the recent hard times we all are going through but this podcast is on the shelf so to speak and yes I provided a shelf picture of my own so the podcast is up there somewhere I'm sure... 


             Either way it is coming down the road, if Everything About Reality TV slows down then the plan is to go to the Gaming Podcast which honestly I am excited but shouldn't be too excite as right now I need to remain focused on Everything About Reality TV and going to a new podcast would be a complete rebuild from the start and that will be a ton of work for us. Plus we do not know how often we wanna do the podcast, weekly, every 2nd week that is a tough decision. Nothing is really planned right now and it is in the future plans of the website but now is not the time and we are very much in production with the current two podcasts and that's enough. We have a bigger plan but yet again in time you guys will find out what it is exactly the plan is.

Favorite Laurel and Hardy Movies!

              Today, I would like to talk about my favorite Laurel and Hardy Movies or short films as they called it back in the day! Now I have touched based last week who got me into them and what not and now it's time to give you guys a few episodes that I actually do enjoy so here they are:

1) Sons of The Desert- I believe this was the original episode but do not quote me on that I do not know the actual order which has a ton of stupidity but hilarious in the same way and Stanley dancing around when they were back at their apartment door steps. 

2) Be Big- The episode where the two of them made an excuse to their wives to go out instead of a trip however that backfired and wives came home and they sure found out Oliver wasn't sick and their schemes.

3) Swiss Miss-  Where they are in Switzerland and they are movers and had to move the piano across a bridge that moves as you are going on and honestly didn't look safe but there was also a monkey involved. It was hilarious!

4) The fourth and final one on my list and there is other ones but again as I have said this before in the past I cannot make a overly long list but there are others, however the 4th and final one on my list is the Flying Deuces where Oliver is in love and found out the girl he loves is married  and they enlisted themselves into the army to find out the husband of the girl he loves is in there and in the end they are flying in an airplane and Oliver comes back as a donkey meanwhile Stanley is himself! Worth the hour and a bit of the full length episode!


              There is my list and some of the ones I really enjoy to watch and have to binge watch some of these and other ones I enjoy as well. I hope you guys enjoyed my little bit of my favorite Laurel and Hardy episodes I enjoy. I  will see you guys in the next post tomorrow at Noon eastern, have a wonderful Wednesday!
