Website Is COMPLETED!

                 As you can tell with my recent post on social media, we have officially completed the website work. Every page is up and running and the entire menu bar is functional and working but just the menu isn't too responsive but it works at some point and going to start work in the coming weeks but honestly that is for my website admin to do as most of the work and design of the menu is complete. As you can see there are two Sections: 'Everything About Reality TV" which houses a ton of pages of podcasts we do.  We finally have our "Other Podcasts" which even includes Power Rangers Collaboration Podcast, Entertainment Man Podcast and the Archives of past podcasts. Trust me we can house more and you never know what is in-stored for the websites moving forward, new projects, new hosts. It took us weeks to get the menu to function and drop down but alas we got it working. Still a couple of bugs in it but in time we will get it working. You can use your arrows and it does help for now. 

                 During the construction phase of the page, noticed the number of views have been up lately which is truly a good thing. I looked at the pages and they all have gotten good views. The Hours we put in, the lack of sleep we have had to endured it was indeed worth the hours of hard work and dedication. I'm surprised this big project took us weeks and got it done. Took a lot of patience and we had a couple of bugs to iron out on the pages as it wouldn't save but that is besides the point as everything is now fine. I hope you guys enjoy the rebuilt menu bar that we worked hard in the last couple of weeks and we're excited for what is next for the website. Any issues, concerns or questions please contact is and we can answer any question or concern you may have.

Reflecting the Past 4.5 Years Doing Survivor Recaps

                As you guys know, tonight is my final Recap for Survivor on Everything About Reality TV Podcast and I had something else in the back of my mind for today and I think today is a fitting for me to reflect on the last 4.5 years of doing Survivor Recaps. I was sooo close to 5 years of Survivor however it is an honor to finish strong on Season 40, Survivor: Winners At War.  I actually really hoped for this and it happened. I started this adventure with Season 31, Survivor: Cambodia-  Second Chances with Larry nearly 5 years ago. Almost 5 years and these Recaps are still going strong. I've watched these Recaps grow gracefully and honestly I have had too much fun with these and do not know why I have to stop now. However, Billy is taking over and the fun will continue and I'm sure you guys will welcome him with open arms. 9 Seasons, I have covered and over 100 Episodes (109 to be exact.) Which a lot to be honest.  This year and wish I did this on the podcast sooner is the Rankings podcast and Billy hasn't indicated I could do it and I will not do it unless he approves but honestly it was a test run to see if you guys enjoyed it. I have been through rough times and really good times with these recaps and have no regrets whatsoever to the content I brought out despite the 1 and only 1 complaint I had about it but most of you guys have been happy with the content. I don't wanna focus on the negative but focus on the positive. One last thing I remember of these recaps was back at the start with Larry when his cat, Charlie who has since then passed on but he was always chiming in with his meowing and it made it quite funny and entertaining to be honest. 

                 It has been a honor to Recap Survivor for this long and like I said the Survivor Recaps are not going anywhere anytime soon.  Billy is taking over and we currently do not know when it will air at this point with the state of the world, so we could be at a dry spell to when shows and this will return. At this time I want to thank my team, Larry (who's been with me from the start), Billy (Who's taking over these Recaps) and Reality Teas (Chris) who is new to our team for the support during this season and input that has helped us do better as a podcast. I will take with me the memories of my time in my studio but don't forget I am still Recapping Big Brother Canada (which will be on Video & Audio ONLY), Amazing Race & Amazing Race Canada (which will be found on Audio ONLY.) I am going nowhere, I will be in the YouTube channel Moderator the chat and joining you guys in the conversation and helping Billy and Chris in anything they need. Like the saying goes all great things must come to an end but I don't see this as the end, it's more the adventure is just beginning for us. Our 5th anniversary is coming up and so much more to look forward to. In conclusion, I am sure Billy will have me on the podcast from time to time and maybe, just maybe I will make 1 appearance a season? That's for him to decide but you never know.

Moving Chris B On The Web Updates To Sundays!

                      So I have made the executive decision to move the weekly updates to Sundays instead of the usual Monday. Trying something different and I think it wasn't the right fit on Mondays but there is a bunch of reasons too but as you know Entertainment Man Podcast is on the horizon to return to the line-up here not just the website but on the other platforms and there has been proposed projects so this means I gotta make more time to post up them so definitely think the update on the first day of the week is the best move. Don't worry same kind of format, nothing is changing really to it and no plan to change the way I do the weekly updates. I really wish I did this sooner on the Sundays originally when this idea came to me for a weekly update on the happenings around the "CBOTW Community" however we are making this change now before any other major additions to the website. We're trying to gradually expand the website not expand so fast this is why we're taking our time on the pages. 

                    Either way, CBOTW is always evolving and always making the necessary changes that comes with the growth of this website as recently we have officially peaked over the 80K in the last year which is crazy for a small but now huge website. So again we're moving the updates to Sundays and one other thing to add on, it will not be me who does those, it will be one of my team members who does the updates. I have decided as the Founder/Owner to hand the reigns over to the Website Admin to make the necessary updates to the website each week so you will be hearing from me 6 days of the week. This is good too as I have been along with my team swamped with work and updates and just growing our brand even more. I know you guys understand and will enjoy the posts on Sundays as you guys enjoyed them on the Mondays and I will see you guys in the next post tomorrow.

Chris B On The Web Updates [05-11-2020]

                     I know I was going to start doing this but I have decided to keep it to the blog as usual and talk about other topics on Entertainment Man Podcast which I will talk about. There is a lot going on and emotions running high this week with this being Finale Week for us for Everything About Reality TV and again I will cover it. In this update, I will provide you guys the updates on everything that is going on with us and the website.

1) Website: This is the first crucial step for us and we have been so busy with other projects and this weekend myself and my website Admin were suppose to work on the website but got busy with family stuff and especially Mother's Day yesterday. However I worked a bit of it before bed last night and working on The Amazing Race Page to get that one completed. We currently have the Survivor, Big Brother and Big Brother Canada pages created and done and not sure if all of them are active as of yet but we will be checking soon as we finish both Amazing Race and Amazing Race Canada pages to ensure they are all active and running and with a post that it is indeed active on the website. Then we will be jumping away briefly to be working on Entertainment Man Podcast Page, then jumping back to "Everything About Reality TV" Podcast pages with Off Season Podcasts and 2 shows: "Music City CMT" & "Celeb Big Brother US" pages that were covered on the podcast. Then finally the archives page on the far right side. This will complete up the website page work and we will have an official announcement the site work is done. Right now you guys are working off the links page right now on www.chrisbontheweb.com/p/everything-about-reality-tv.html which is going to be eventually a discontinued page and will not be active on the website anymore.

2) Entertainment Man Podcast: As you guys noticed, the Re-Launch date for this podcast being weekly is June 1st, 2020 at 1 pm EST. The reason why is so we can finish up the site work and also fix any of the platforms the podcast may be on. So this can take up a few weeks of my time to get it fixed on any platform the podcast is on. I believe, ITunes, TuneIn.com, Player FM are all up to par and not sure about Spotify and I do not even think it is on Spotify and has been removed so I will have to put that on my list of platforms to put it on. Either way, I am close to the Re-launch but still a couple of things to do to ensure the platformsit's on and up to date as I never told em that I changed the RSS Feed as the main feed was originally deleted. Good News is I still have the episodes that I did record and are on the external hard drive of mine in storage.

3) Everything About Reality TV Podcast: As you know this is Finale Week for us and we will be on a bit of a hiatus. I wanted to say, we are recording an episode LIVE on our YouTube channel Wednesday night @ 11:15 pm EST to make it officially launched but having second thoughts as we will be on a hiatus for a while. I need to talk to Larry, Billy & Chris (Reality Teas) about doing some Off Season Content for both Video and Audio, Live and even video and Audio (Pre-Recorded) where I can either post it or even do a Premiere but might wait for Premieres for a while. Either way I need to talk to them and that is the reason we will be off air for a week or two to get things in order for what is next and hopefully we find something out Big Brother US Season 22 and Amazing Race Canada Season 8. 

                  There is the updates that I have for you guys and we continue to work on the site and content. I know I didn't mention Power Rangers Podcast but here is the thing as of today, I will be working on Time Force today and getting it on a role as July we are suppose to be recording and need to get watching this season and Wild Force if we are to make the Mid July target but when I got updates, I will give you guys more updates. For right now these are the current updates and what is being worked on and with extra time to really work hard on the collaboration Podcasts and get it ready for taping. Anyways I will see you in the next post tomorrow at our usual time.

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!
